Advisor to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton US diplomat Edward Gabriel has expected that she will win at least 300 votes of the electoral college in the presidential elections just 2% to 4% at the level of national popular vote. 
He pointed out that a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes, a majority of the 538 that are divided among the 50 US states. 
Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Gabriel said that what the observers must carefully pay attention to on Tuesday is the result of the vote in Pennsylvania, adding that if Hillary Clinton wins in this state, she will guarantee her victory in the presidential elections. 
Despite the optimism, the challenge is to mobilize the largest number of voters as the only factor to decide the result of the elections in favor of Clinton, Gabriel told QNA. 
Gabriel, the former US ambassador in Morocco, said that Arab American voters' clear support to Hillary Clinton has reached a considerable level in this election, as two-thirds of these voters support Clinton, while only one-third of them support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, especially in Michigan, Ohio and North Virginia. 
He added that there is a wide acceptance for Clinton and her electoral program among Arab-American and Muslim communities, which differs from her counterpart Trump, especially with regard of defending the rights of American Muslims and her plans for immigration laws as well as her understanding, as a former secretary of state, of the Middle East's issues, making her the closest and favorite among Arab and Muslim communities in these elections. 
Regarding the impact of Clinton's emails issue, which the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reopened its investigation into last week, Gabriel said that reopening the investigations certainly affected Clinton's campaign, as her lead ratio in national polls retreated, but because there were no new results in the investigation her ratio returned to rise in the previous two days. 
In response to talks about a possibility of an outbreak of violence if Trump loses, Clinton campaign's advisor said he fully believes in the centrality of the US administration of the state that are not affected by any attempts of riots or external influences. 
The American security devices are able to protect the security and stability and to face all threats of riots, violence or even possible external cyber attacks, he added, stressing that the elections and the voters will be under the protection of the American security devices, which will oversee and secure the electoral process. 
In his remarks to QNA, Gabriel said It's time for a woman to be the next US president after nearly 200 years.
