Where The Presidential Race And Outstanding Vote Stands … For Now Good morning, early birds, night owls and anxious people. We’re in the midst of a bit of a shift change on the live blog, so we thought we’d take a breath and summarize where we are as the sun comes up on the East Coast. (Much of this note is adapted from my colleagues’ post earlier this morning.) At the moment, Biden leads in the electoral vote count, 225 to 213, according to ABC News projections. But no candidate has a lock on 270 yet, and multiple paths exist for both Biden and Trump. We’re still waiting on projections in key battleground states, including Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maine and North Carolina. Here’s a look at what we know about the outstanding vote in each battleground state: Arizona: While some outlets, such as the Associated Press, have projected Arizona for Biden, ABC News has not. Before the election, officials did warn that any super-close races might not be resolved until the last votes are counted on Thursday or Friday. However, the race isn’t that close right now (Biden 52 percent, Trump 47 percent), so we might see a projection sooner. Nevada: The race is very tight — Biden has a very slight lead — and all in-person votes have been counted. But a count of late-arriving mail ballots and provisional ballots — which tend to be Democratic — is still to come. Wisconsin: The race is very tight — tied 49 percent to 49 percent as of this writing — and it’s unclear how much of the vote remains. Georgia: Trump is ahead in a tight race, but significant votes are outstanding. The big holdup here is Fulton County, which as of 2 a.m. was home to most of the outstanding ballots. The count there was delayed by a burst pipe (no ballots were damaged), and election officials told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution their goal was to go into Wednesday with just 20,000 ballots left to count. However, the secretary of state estimated those results would not be released until the afternoon. Michigan: There are still hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted here, and it’s unclear if counting will continue throughout the night. Election officials did say earlier on Tuesday that they expected counting to wrap up by Wednesday night. Pennsylvania: Trump is ahead with 75 percent of the expected vote in, but there are significant chunks of votes still to come from urban and potentially rural counties as well. Going into the election, many county and state election officials predicted that results wouldn’t approach completion until Friday. Maine: Honestly, this is anyone’s guess. Election officials are taking much longer here than they originally expected. North Carolina: 95 percent of the expected vote has already been counted here, so it seems quite possible that all we’re waiting on are late-arriving mail-in ballots, which have until Nov. 12 to arrive. That means we could be waiting over a week for a call here. We’re keeping the live blog open this morning until we tell you otherwise.
