In Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Biden leads 28,833 votes, or 0.5%, with an estimated 96% of the votes counted. Under Pennsylvania law, a recount is conducted if the difference between the two candidates is less than or equal to 0.5% of the total votes.
There are still many votes counting in Philadelphia, the largest city in the state, and Allegheny County, where the city of Pittsburgh began reporting on the night of November 6. Most of the delays in Philadelphia were “back notes” (pending votes) and military votes, which were expected to take several days to count.
In Georgia (16 electoral votes), Biden leads Trump with 4,395 votes with 99% of the votes counted. Trump needs to win in both Pennsylvania and Georgia to get reelected.
Georgia Secretary General Brad Raffensperger expected the difference between the two candidates to be just a few thousand votes, leading to the possibility of re-counting. The countdown will only take place until Georgia’s results are confirmed, possibly before or on November 20.
Approximately 9,000 foreign and military votes have not been counted and can be accepted if they arrive on time on November 6, as long as there are postmarks before or November 3.
In Nevada (6 electoral votes), Biden leads Trump with 22,657 votes, or 1.8%, with 93% of the votes counted. Most vote-by-mail ballots are expected to be counted by November 8.
North Carolina (15 electoral votes) is the only battlefield state where Trump leads 76,515 votes, or 1.6%, with about 98% of the votes counted. State officials say the final results will only be available next week. The state allows mail-in ballots to be accepted by November 12 if they are postmarked by November 3.
