[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] President-elect Joe Biden secured 306 electoral votes, well over half of the total electoral college, achieving a landslide victory over President Donald Trump.


According to the AP on the 13th (local time), polling agency Edison Research predicted that in the last two undecided states, Georgia and North Carolina, Biden and Trump each won respectively on that day.


In this case, the electoral votes secured by Biden and Trump are 306 and 232 respectively. The number of electoral votes Biden secured far exceeds the magic number of 270 needed to win the presidential election.


Meanwhile, lawsuits filed by President Donald Trump and the Republican Party challenging this presidential election were repeatedly dismissed.


On the 13th (local time), a trial court in Michigan, one of the battleground states in this election, dismissed a lawsuit by Trump supporters seeking to block the certification of vote counting in Detroit.



The federal appeals court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, also dismissed a preliminary injunction request by a Republican House candidate seeking to block the counting of 9,300 mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day.
