With some votes and results long delayed by the large number of ballots mailed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Trump may attempt to capitalize on the initial initial success among those who waited until November 3 to participate.

Analysis: What Biden and Trump’s Final Moves Tell You About Your Chances
By Greg Milam, US Correspondent
If all roads to the White House go through Pennsylvania, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as Americans like to say, have left nothing in the locker room this campaign.
The sports metaphor is apt for a president and challenger who have bombarded the state in recent days in search of a late winning strike.
Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,000 votes in 2016, less than one percentage point, and he knows victory there is essential if he wants to win a second term.
Biden was born in Pennsylvania, in the town of Scranton, most famous for being the setting for the American version of The Office, and polls have consistently shown him as a leader.
It’s focused on western Pennsylvania, where the mix of suburban voters, disenchanted Trump supporters, and people who didn’t participate in the last election is exactly the constituency you need to win across the country.
Even taking into account the fact that his campaign is based in Philadelphia, Biden has visited Pennsylvania more than any other battlefield state.
Trump has also paid close attention to the state. There is a strong belief in his campaign, echoed by his supporters, that the ‘timid Trump voter’ will come out to support him in large numbers and challenge pollsters again.
