A second day of sometimes duelling demonstrations over the integrity of the U.S. presidential election started in Philadelphia and other cities as ballot counting dragged on in a handful of states that would decide the outcome.

Some groups, mainly Democrats, rallied around the slogan to “count every vote,” believing a complete tally would show former Vice President Joe Biden had beaten Republican President Donald Trump.

Ardent Trump supporters countered with cries to “protect the vote” in support of his campaign’s efforts to have some categories of ballots, including some votes submitted by mail, discarded.

Meanwhile, according to CNN Biden is still leading the race with 253 Electoral Votes while Trump has 213 Electoral Votes.

270 is needed to win the elections.

Results are to be confirmed in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Arizona.
