America woke up to an undecided presidential election with states
including Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin still counting
millions of ballots. Even so, President Trump falsely and
recklessly claimed victory, while challenger Joe Biden called for
the votes to be counted. Meanwhile, Republicans appeared to retain
control of the US senate, while Democrats kept the House. In
California, Proposition 22, which would create new regulations for
delivery app drivers, emerged victorious after the most expensive
statewide ballot measure campaign. Other Propositions, including 16
to overturn the state’s ban on affirmative action and 15 to raise
tax rates on commercial properties were trailing.
