US Election: The much anticipated US Presidential Election is still going on which has created a lot of anxiety in people. Counting of votes is still underway in several swing states, but on Thursday Democratic candidate Joe Biden maintained his lead over President Donald Trump in electoral votes. All eyes are on the tight race in the state of Nevada, which has six electoral votes at stake.
Since November 3, Americans have been left on the edge of their seats, anxiously watching and waiting for their next president. But given the speed at which counting is taking place, people have been sharing memes and jokes on social media. Here’s what people had to say on social media:

A day after the voting closed in the US, President Donald Trump, who is leading the states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, currently has 214 electoral votes, according to AP’s projected tally. A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win.
Meanwhile, President Trump has made controversial allegations of voter fraud in Tuesday’s election. “If you count the legal votes, I easily win,” the President told reporters at the White House earlier on Thursday, implying that some of the postal ballots, the counting of which he was trying to stop were illegal.
However, his Democratic rival Joe Biden said: “Each ballot must be counted and that’s what is going on now. And that’s how it should be. Democracy is sometimes messy, so sometimes it requires a little patience.”
