- US Election 2024 LIVE Updates. Trump labels it 'the most important day in American history'
General elections, in any democratic country, are an important moment in its history as they can change the course of the country or make a period of time more or less prosperous for its citizens. In recent weeks, the international political scene has focused its attention on the elections in the United States, where there is a lot at stake, not only for the country of stars and stripes, but also for the rest of the world.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have reached the final hours of the campaign very evenly matched in the polls and it seems that one of the keys to who will be the next president of the United States will be what happens in Pennsylvania. However, there is one man who may hold the key to it all as his predictions are always spot on as to who will be the next occupant of the White House.
Allan Lichtman, the 'Nostradamus' of the United States
American University historian Allan Jay Lichman may be one of the keys to this election. He is credited with correctly predicting the winner of every presidential election for the past 40 years, with one exception, the highly controversial 2000 election, in which he said Democrat Al Gore would win, and George W. Bush eventually took the Oval Office.
Lichtman, who has acknowledged his for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, has his own way of interpreting elections by ignoring the polls. In fact, his system is based on electoral 'keys', which are nothing more than 13 true or false statements about the candidate in question. In this way, the scoring system is as follows: if the question being asked is true, the candidate of the party in power gets a point; if it is false, the point goes to the candidate of the rival party.
With the final result marked so that if the opponent gets six or more points, there will be a change in power, otherwise, the power will remain in the same hands.
