2020 has been a year of full
ups and downs with many unseen challenges and conspiracies disguised under the
cloak of agendas and politics.
So you probably had heard about
the overly hyped drama of American elections, yeah now I know that it was an
important matter but wait world has topics that also were important and so
these elections are one of those topics.
So the electrifying thriller
drama went on for a time until the curtain falls with Joe Biden being declared
as the new president of the superpower America.
But among these, there were
many instances when the war for the American power figure stood in the jeopardy
and some of these moments felt emotionally very hard to the supporters of both
the camp.
So well let’s dwell in the matter, and see what happened in the tipsy curvy election of America.
So What this Fuss
is all About?
So as you know that the war for
the election is not just bound to just 2 people throwing claims and promises
around but it’s between the group of people who followed these claims and
promises and align themselves with the leader.
Now one thing is for sure that
you don’t see these leaders scratching up each other heads or wrestling each other,
although it would be fun to watch, doesn't it?
But the actions, the protests,
the rage is somewhat that in recent time became as a measure of the level of
the excitement and participation in any election.
Now in this scenario, both
presidential candidates have a huge base of supporters on their respective
sides and as the counting preceded so does the entire temperament.
The supporters or protesters
whatever you call were on the streets against the unexpected turn of events
that was caused during the counting of various states.
And this was the reason that
many supporters thought that there was some sort of malpractices or miscounting
that had happened.
But Why does this Happen?
Well, the main culprit behind
all this high voltage drama is the complex system associated with the American
presidential election.
American constitution empowers
every state in America to adopt its counting methods to achieve transparency
and also to give the state the facility to adjust and conduct the election in
the best possible way with the resources that it has.
But over time this system has
seen both the dark days and bright days, many times the systems adopted by one
state is questioned by the other state or worse but the whole nation’s
protester.
And the very fresh example of
this can be seen in this year’s presidential election as well, the former
American president Donald Trump has sued 3 states for the miscounting as well
as to completely go over the rules of counting in the late votes.
Now the debate whether it's right or wrong had been stretched around for the longest time and right now this article is not meant to do that.
What Happened in
Minneapolis?
On November 4, a group of protesters
set off fireworks and spray-painted business
storefronts in Minneapolis at night.
Now why this incident is being talked
about?
It is important because in this the protest
not only took a violent upturn but also involved the loss of public property.
This protest had resulted in the arrest of
14 people.
It all started when a few dozen protesters
marched through the city's Uptown neighborhood, bursting fireworks and carrying
a banner that read “America is Over" as presidential election results from
various states started to come in.
The protesters caused havoc with the
blocking of traffic, spray painting, and soiling of various shop fronts that
were there but they didn't stop here the group started to violently thrash
around the debris, signboards, and traffic lights on to the street.
Although the police personnel present over
there maintained a respectable distance from the protesters but after seeing
the tables turning around and protesters getting out of control they were
forced to tap into the scene to take charge of the situation.
The first red flag for the police was the
fact that even after constant warnings protesters not only disobeyed the police
but also shot crackers on their vehicles and streets.
Police arrested 12 adult females with one
adult male who was charged under the suspicion to ignite and carry forward the
riot.
Now on the other instance under the
fourth-degree assault, one more adult female was arrested from nearby protest
areas with an addition to the already existing rioting charges.
Although a crowd of onlookers yelled at the arrests that were made the voices fell on the deaf ears. Civil unrest was sparked in all cities across the United States as the 2020 presidential election started coming.
