US, protests by supporters of two camps as vote count continues

Hundreds of Democrats gathered Friday near the Philadelphia polling building, wearing yellow T-shirts, which wrote “Numeno every vote” and dancing on the street.

In Detroit, a group of supporters of President Trump, some armed, protested near the count site, waving flags and, with calls, “Fight! ”

The spirit of protests in Philadelphia was not so heated when demonstrators from both camps stood at different sides of the barriers, under increased police presence. Order authorities said they had arrested an armed person Thursday evening under investigation on reports of plans to attack the city's conference centre, where votes are being counted.

The two sides were organised after the president's harsh remarks concerning the voting counting process, which so far points to the democrat Joe Biden, who has gradually created an advantage in the number of electoral votes.

In the still undeclared state of Arizona, where the race is turning strong, supporters of the two candidates faced in Finix near the Maricopa municipality Election Department. Heavy right-wing armed groups gathered near the building, where local election employees counted votes.

Protesters repeatedly accused Maricopa municipality chief Adrian Fontes of having not counted several votes, damaging President Trump, although there is no evidence that there has been irregularities in counting votes.

While there is still no result for presidential elections, tense confrontations between protesters on both sides are registered in cities such as Atlanta, Georgia, Detroit, Michigan, Las Vegas, Nevada and Russia's Miwaki.
