Margins are slim as the five tipped states count the last votes that decide the presidential election. Trump leads in three of them, while Biden leads in two.
The battle to become the next president of the United States will be decided by the states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
Democratic candidate Joe Biden now has 253 voters and President Donald Trump has 214. If you count Arizona, Joe Biden has 264 voters and is just six from the required limit of 270 to win the presidential election.
But here’s the uncertainty: because while Fox News and Labor News have given Biden this status, NBC News, New York Times and CNN believe it is too soon.
They face each other
So far, it seems certain that Biden has 253 voters and Trump 214. This includes one from Maine’s single district. Both the New York Times and Fox News have announced that Biden will get three voters and Trump one from Maine.
However, victory is not yet assured for Biden, and only decimals separate the two candidates in various states.
Arizona (11 voters)
Who is leading? Both Fox News and the Associated Press have named Joe Biden the winner here, but the New York Times, CNN and MSNBC are reluctant to do the same.
He wins Biden leads with 2.4 percent over Trump when 86 percent of the vote is reported. About 450,000 votes remain to be counted in the state.
Trump has taken over the largest municipality here overnight, Maricopa County, but Biden still leads. However, Trump’s leadership is down by more than 10,000 votes at last count.
When do we know more? Maricopa authorities update their figures at 03:00 pm on Friday Norwegian time. Biden’s campaign manager doesn’t expect a clear result until Friday.

Georgia (16 voters)
Who is leading? Trump leads in Georgia, but Biden takes over. Approximately 0.3 percentage point separates the two candidates in this state.
He wins 98 percent of the votes counted in the state, and therefore Biden, is dependent on winning the majority of the remaining votes for victory here.
In Georgia, it is the city of Atlanta that gives Democrats cause for optimism. In Fulton County, where the city is located, more than 80 percent of the vote is expected to go to Biden.
Trump’s leadership is down to around 14,000 votes at last recount in the state.
When do we know more? Just before 5:00 p.m. Norwegian time, the state declares that they are approaching the end of the count in the state.
There are still 60,000 postal votes to be counted. A spokesman for the state interior minister expects the count to be completed by Thursday.
Pennsylvania (20 voters)
Who is leading? Trump leads in Pennsylvania, but the leadership is down by more than 19,000 votes in the latest update. He now leads with about 115,000 votes over Biden.
In the previous update at 4.30pm, Trump led with around 135,000 votes.
He wins Biden’s camp expects very strong numbers from the cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the next few hours.
If Biden gets about 65 percent of the remaining votes, he passes. It is challenging, but not completely impossible.
When do we know more? Updates were expected Thursday morning local time, but the state has announced that the count could continue for several days. This is due to the large number of votes remaining by mail and in advance.

Nevada (6 voters)

He wins 87 percent of the votes were counted at 6 p.m. Norwegian time, when the latest update came from Nevada.
It’s worth noting that Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, represents the majority of voters in Nevada. Joe Biden is doing very well in this county.
When do we know more? At 7pm on Friday, new figures will be released for Clark County, where Las Vegas is located.
North Carolina (15 voters)
Who is leading? Here, Trump leads by 1.4 percentage points with 95 percent of the votes counted.
He wins Biden needs to take about 65 percent of the remaining votes here to evenly end Trump.
According to the New York Times, it is not yet clear how many mail-in votes have been received, but according to the newspaper, Trump is well placed in the state.
When do we know more? There have been no recent results from this status in more than a day. The state accepts mail-in ballots up to and including Nov. 12, as long as the ballot is stamped and posted before Election Day.
Here it can be several days before we know for sure who won the state.
