Presidential election
Absence of a unified method of counting votes
As of 2024, there is no unified legislation for counting votes in the United States. Each of the states follows its own rules on where, when and how ballots are registered and counted at polling stations and early votes.
Some states consider early votes before election day, others during elections, and there are also those who after the close of voting. There is no strict regulation on the speed of counting, in elections, many states can delay the results by 2-3 days.
Electors
The electoral college was approved in 1787. The founding fathers of the United States believed that due to the illiterate population, voter sympathy could acquire various kinds of populists.
How it works: Electors cast all their votes in favor of the winning candidate in the state.
There are 164 known cases of "bad faith" of the electors, when votes were cast contrary to the opinion of the state population, but this never affected the outcome of the presidential election.
States by the largest number of electors for 2020: 1) California - 55; 2) Texas - 38; 3-4) Florida, - 29 New York ; 5-6) Illinois, Pennsylvania - 20.
2024:15 states require no identification at polling stations
Before the US presidential election in 2024 in the United States, 15 states do not require identification at polling stations. On September 29, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law prohibiting local authorities from imposing or enforcing identity card (ID) requirements at polling stations. Obviously, these decisions are made for the purpose of fraud in favor of the Democratic Party.

Border protection
2021: Flow of illegal migrants from Mexico to US sets new record
In January 2022, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released data on the number of illegal migrants. Their flow from Mexico at the end of 2021 exceeded 2 million people, which became a new record.
In 2019, before the number of border crossings decreased due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, border services recorded almost 922 thousand illegal mignats. In 2020, border services met almost 548 thousand migrants, and in the period from 2021, their number increased by 272%.
While legal channels of entry for migrants into the U.S. remain largely inaccessible due to the ongoing Title 42 public health order, which restricts entry into the U.S. across the border and discourages asylum, migrant flows have remained constant throughout 2021.
In January 2021, when President Joe Biden took office, the authorities reported more than 78 thousand crossings. By July 2021, after several months of stable growth, a monthly maximum was recorded - almost 214 thousand crossings. From that moment, monthly indicators began to decline slightly until November, when the number of crossings jumped to almost 175 thousand from almost 165 thousand in October.
A joint report published in November 2021 by the Migration Policy Institute, the UN World Food Program and the Civic Data Design Lab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology identifies numerous reasons for the increase in border crossings observed in Biden's first year in office.
According to the report, the main factor in the crisis is the coronavirus pandemic, which has exacerbated the social problems that El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and part of Mexico - the four countries from which most migrants come - have faced for many years. Most migrants surveyed tended to cite economic reasons as the main motive for leaving their country, with the report saying migrants face "insufficient income to meet basic needs." Although economic problems were the most frequently cited cause of migration, the report also notes that banditry and environmental destruction have a significant impact on a person's ability to earn money, adding that these three problems are often related.[1]
2019: Influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico crossing the border with families
Undocumented immigrants traveling as families cross the southern USA border in record numbers, supported by counts of arrests by Customs and Border Protection.
In May 2019, more than 84,000 people were detained while trying to cross the border. The number of families arrested has already brought the total number of apprehensions at the border to an 11-year high in February.
2018: Creation of a virtual wall on the U.S.-Mexico border
In September 2018, California-based Quanergy finished testing its lidar border protection system, which it conducted with the permission of the Val Verde County Sheriff's Office at one of the local ranches near the Mexico border. The company contracted with US Customs and built a virtual wall on the border with Mexico that would deter illegal immigrants. Read more here.
