b As writing this blog on November 15, 2020, the vote of the U.S. Presidential race is still counting.
A total six states (MI, PA, GA, NV, AZ, and WI) have not reached the final number.

The five basic questions:
- Do you see any problems in the 2020 U.S. presidential race?
- What do you think about Biden’s numbers (over 78 million)?
- What do you think about Obama’s numbers (69 million) vs. Biden’s numbers (78 million)?
- So far, Biden has received the highest votes in the U.S. history. What do you think?
- Do you believe that Biden is a SUPERMAN (who did gather ONLY a few rally)?
