Vice President Mike Pence described what happened in the US on Wednesday as 'the dark day of the country's democratic history'. The President will certainly become Joe Biden of the Democrat Party. Broadly speaking, Biden's victory was decided on November 3, the day of the election. After the Electoral College voting on 14 November, it got another seal. Biden's victory was to be constitutionally ratified on 6 January.
In such a situation, when everything was decided, why did there be a ruckus? After all, why was the world's oldest democracy tarnished? There is only one answer - Donald Trump's insistence. Let's understand this whole controversy in 5 points ...
1. What happened before the election?
President Trump was a Republican and Biden Democrat Party candidate. Trump's failure to handle the coronavirus became the main issue. Trump kept on calling the epidemic a minor flu, sometimes the Chinese virus. More than 3 million Americans were killed. Millions became unemployed. The economy began to collapse. Trump wanted to win the election by tricking whites because blacks had already been overcome by accusing them of discrimination.
2. Wish we understood the gesture
The election took place on 3 November. In America, the public select the electors and the electors elect the president. They have a total of 538 votes. It takes 270 votes to become president. After counting the votes on November 3, it became clear that Biden received 306 votes, while Trump received 232 votes. That means Trump has lost.
Even before the election, Trump made it clear that if he loses, he will not accept the results. The American security agencies could not understand his gesture, because if understood, Wednesday's incident could have been avoided. People could not gather outside Parliament.
3. What was to happen on Wednesday?
If we don't get into technical matters, then the simple answer is - Biden's victory had to be constitutional stamped. The votes of the electors were to be counted in front of both houses of parliament. Here is a little talk and understand.
After the elections in the US, the results can be challenged in the courts, but they should be settled there before 6 January i.e. before the joint session of Parliament. That's what happened. Then, Parliament sat. He chose four members. They were taking the name of each elector to indicate whether they voted for Trump or Biden.
4. So why was there a problem?
There is also an easy answer to this. The ruckus occurred because Trump was provoking supporters. They did not want the electoral college, ie the votes of the electors to be counted. In other words, Trump did not want Parliament to approve Biden's January 20 swearing-in ceremony.
Trump made inflammatory statements on social media. Supporters were outraged. There was an uproar in Parliament and a woman was killed. The revolver was replaced by the votes of the electors in Parliament.
5. What will happen next?
At the moment, the electoral college votes continue to count. This could take several hours. The reason for taking longer is that supporters of Trump's party may lodge objections to certain votes. There is a fixed procedure to clear them and for this reason, Parliament takes time.
However, after the process is over, Biden will be issued a Winner Certificate. On January 20, he will take the oath of parliament. Parliament will approve the names of their cabinet members after scrutiny. During this time Trump will have to leave the White House. If they do not do so, the security forces can expel them from there.
