As midnight nears on the east coast of the US, here is a roundup of the day’s ongoing vote count in the four remaining battleground states.
In Georgia, worth 16 electoral votes, Trump’s lead dwindles from over 18,000 votes to a mere 1,600.
In Nevada, which carries 6 electoral votes, Biden builds on his lead, going from 8,000 more votes than the incumbent to over 11,000.
In Pennsylvania, Trump’s lead shrinks from 160,000 votes to fewer than 37,000. The state is worth a hefty 20 electoral votes, enough to secure the presidency for Biden if he wins it.
In Arizona, Trump gains on Biden, narrowing the challenger’s lead from 69,000 votes to 46,000. The state is worth 11 electoral votes. Some major US news networks called Arizona for Biden, while others have not.
