NewsTranscript
00:00We have a lot of countrymen who voted in New York City during the U.S. elections.
00:09For the update, we will talk to GMA Integrated News stringer Dave Llavanes Jr.
00:14Dave.
00:16Raffy, it's 9 p.m. and it's time to formally close the vote here in New York City.
00:24Partial electoral votes have also started coming in and as of now, 195 electoral votes have already come in for Republican candidate Donald Trump.
00:32While 91 for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
00:36271 electoral votes are needed to win. Raffy?
00:41Dave, the other East Coast states have already counted their electoral votes in New York. What are the results?
00:50Here in New York, Raffy, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris won, while in New York State, there are 28 electoral votes, Raffy.
00:59But the big states where the Democratic Party's so-called baluarte has not yet come in, is that right, Dave?
01:10Yes, Raffy. Almost half of the states here in America have already counted their electoral votes.
01:16But it's too early to call because the counting is still ongoing in big states like California, which has the largest electoral vote of 54 electoral votes, Raffy.
01:27So Dave, what is the sentiment of our fellow countrymen who are counting their votes?
01:32As of now, some are feeling it because former President Donald Trump is the one who is counting his votes.
01:43Of course, he is counting his electoral votes.
01:49But as I said, it's too early to decide who will be elected and it's too late to know who will be elected as President of the United States, Raffy.
02:00And we have received reports, Dave, that there are polling centers that have received a bomb threat. Where are those places?
02:06This is in the Midwest, where other polling centers have made the windows bulletproof because of the threats.
02:18Although the FBI is on top of it and is currently investigating these threats, Raffy.
02:24Aside from this, there are also some that have been burned. So it's very reminiscent of the elections here in the Philippines.
02:30What is happening in America, Dave? What is the sentiment of the Filipinos that you are talking about?
02:36Well, there are a lot of them, especially here in New York, Raffy.
02:41This is a democratic state, but the Trump supporters are solid here.
02:46So what they are saying to the Republican supporters is that one of their concerns is the immigration policy of the Democratic Party.
02:57While the issue of the Democratic Party is the rights of women, Raffy.
03:05Has the number of votes in the four swing states not been affected while there are incidents of bomb threat, Dave?
03:13No, Raffy. Because the authorities are watching the polling centers.
03:20And this is a double warning because they don't want to disrupt the counting of votes, Raffy.
03:30And there are those who are saying that it was possibly Russia that initiated the bomb threat because the email addresses came from Russia.
03:38Do we have this information, Dave?
03:41There are reports like that, Raffy, but we cannot confirm because the authorities are still investigating here in America
03:50to find out where these bomb threats came from, especially to the polling centers, Raffy.
03:55The question is, when will we know who the new US President is?
03:59I know that there are those who will enter their votes quickly.
04:01There are also those who will enter slowly.
04:04When will we know who the new US President is, Dave?
04:12If the majority of the electoral votes do not come in,
04:17before dawn here in America, we will know who the new president of America is, Raffy.
