Here is the latest on the vote quoted from the link:
- Michigan: More than 5.26 million votes were cast in Michigan, and per the AP, many of the ones waiting to be tallied are mail ballots, which tend to favor Biden. In this case, a hefty number of those hail from Wayne County, home to heavily Democratic Detroit. With 87% of the vote counted in the state, the AP has Trump up by about 65,000 votes, 49.9% to 48.6%.
- Nevada: As of 7am it was neck-and-neck in the state, with 67% of votes in and Biden up by less than 8,000 votes. Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, all in-person votes have been tallied; late-arriving mail and provisional ballots have not. And don't expect to get an update Wednesday. The secretary of state’s office tweeted early Wednesday that the next update would come at 9am Thursday.
- North Carolina: Trump is leading by 76,000 votes, but the AP reports there are still about 200,000 mail-in ballots left to count, and mail ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 don't have to be counted until Nov. 12. Per the Charlotte Observer, "The final margin will come down to uncounted absentee votes and provisional ballots," and as of Tuesday there were almost 137,000 absentee ballots outstanding, though some of those people could have voted in person or decided not to vote. Biden has taken two-thirds of the absentee vote already counted.
- Pennsylvania: Though Trump has a 675,000-vote lead, there are roughly 1.5 million votes left to be counted. Most of those are mail ballots, which have favored Biden. Per the Philadelphia Inquirer, "Most of those remaining ballots come from Philadelphia, its four suburban collar counties ... and Allegheny County, home to Pittsburgh. Together, the six counties had 800,000 ballots that were still to be counted or added to the total. Those votes will strongly skew toward Biden."
- Wisconsin: The AP has Biden up by 20,000 votes with 95% of the vote in, with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporting he overtook Trump in the early morning hours when Milwaukee reported some 170,000 absentee votes, and the lead widened when Kenosha and Green Bay reported. The chair of the Democratic Party in the state thinks it's a done deal for Biden, tweeting that the number of votes Biden leads by "could wobble a bit, but there's no realistic path for Trump to pull ahead. Biden has won more votes any prez candidate in WI history."
