Some news outlets have called Arizona for Biden, but Trump\u2019s campaign says it is still in play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">A victory for Biden in Arizona would give the Democrat 11 electoral votes, a major boost in his bid to win the White House, while severely narrowing Trump\u2019s path to re-election, in a state the Republican won in 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">On Election night Fox News and the Associated Press called Arizona for Biden, even though only just over 70% of the vote had been counted, a move that infuriated Trump and his aides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">Some of the roughly 200 protesters, who were faced by a line of armed county sheriffs, chanted \u201cShame on Fox!\u201d. Some said they came out after a tweet from Mike Cernovich, a right-wing activist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"AdSlot__container___2BqUD ArticleBody-ad-slot-83sCj\" data-creative-type=\"fluid\">\n<div id=\"inline_canvas\" class=\"AdSlot__creative___aEugP\" data-google-query-id=\"CJrj9I6D6-wCFQywUQodhVAIdw\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/4735792\/reuters.com\/world\/uselections\/article_4__container__\">Chris Michael, 40, from Gilbert, Arizona, said he came to make sure all votes are counted. He said he wants assurances that the counting was done \u201cethically and legally.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">Rumors spread\u00a0here\u00a0on Facebook Tuesday night that some Maricopa votes were not being counted because voters used Sharpie pens to mark their ballots. Local election officials insisted that was not true.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">With the count still underway in several key states, Trump has accused the Democrats of trying to steal the election without evidence and filed lawsuits in several states related to vote-counting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">A similar scene played out on Wednesday afternoon in downtown Detroit, where city election officials blocked about 30 people, mostly Republicans, from entering a vote-counting hall amid unfounded claims that the vote count was fraudulent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">Trump has filed a lawsuit in Michigan to stop vote-counting that the secretary of state called &#8220;frivolous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">The protests echoed the \u201cBrooks Brother riot\u201d during the 2000 recount in Florida that ultimately handed the presidency to Republican George W. Bush. A crowd of blazer-clad Republican protesters stormed a building where a hand recount was underway in a heavily Democratic district, forcing poll workers to stop counting ballots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">The protest is now viewed as a significant event in keeping Bush\u2019s slender vote advantage in Florida intact. The US Supreme Court ultimately stopped the Florida recount, handing Bush the presidency and defeat to Democrat Al Gore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Source-Reuters<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crowd of Donald Trump supporters, some armed with rifles and handguns, gathered outside an election center in Arizona on Wednesday night after unsubstantiated rumors that votes for the Republican president were deliberately not being counted.
