Tracking the amount of ballots scanned in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh region) of the 330,000+ they have to process today:

11 AM: Over 9,000.

1 PM: 25,538

3 PM: 43,894

4:45 PM: 59,799
A little math: Between 1 PM and 4:45 PM, Allegheny County's warehouse workers scanned about 152 ballots per minute.
We'll know more at the next count update -- but rough estimates (at this ballot/minute count) would put the county in a place where they could be ready to upload close to 100,000 votes when the polls close.
New count update...

6:40 PM: 82,716 ballots

Allegheny County's ballot/minute number increased to 199/minute the last few hours.
So, yes, at this pace in Allegheny County, they'll have about 100,000 scanned and ready to upload when polls close.
Update as of 9:15 PM: Allegheny County has scanned 111,884 mail-in ballots.

There are 235,227 left to count, and that number will continue to go up.

Many are asking why they keep hearing 735K mail-in ballots are left to be tallied in Pennsylvania.

CNN just cited this number, then said they’re still awaiting results from Allegheny County. That’s not true. Allegheny County is done.
So I’m gonna keep standing by my numbers here, which appear to be correct.
Alright, I think I know the issue: the state’s mail-in ballot dashboard is behind. I still believe my number is right. Two tweets to explain....

You're gonna hear the word "pre-canvass" a lot today in Pennsylvania. Here's what it means, under election law: Image
Let's thread pre-canvassing here.

Allegheny County says about 25% of the ballots are at "some stage of processing." More than 13,500 "have gone through the declaration review and have had the declaration envelope opened and the secrecy envelopes extracted."
As of 11 a.m.: the county has scanned more than 9,000 ballots so far.

The sanitizer is ready, the voting machines have emerged from hibernation and the mail-in ballots — secrecy envelopes and all — are finally ready for opening in Pennsylvania.

It's Election Day. Here's what you need to know about how to vote in PA today (thread):
For those who want to vote in-person using a machine, polls are open in every one of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you don’t know your precinct, you can find it by using this tool: pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingp…
REMEMBER: Anyone in line to vote at 8 p.m. will still be allowed to vote. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

With Heinz Field as a backdrop, this drive-in crowd in Pittsburgh’s North Shore is awaiting a performance by Lady Gaga and one final headlining speech from Joe Biden. ImageImage
But first, they’re hearing from Kamala Harris, who is live over in Philadelphia. As many beeps here as there are frozen fingers.
“I’m not leaving without your vote tonight, you know that right? “ Lady Gaga says in “Yoü and I.”

New: In final Monmouth poll of PA, Joe Biden holds a 5-point lead over Donald Trump, a margin that has narrowed since the pollster's survey a month ago thanks to the Republican's gains in swing counties and among senior voters. post-gazette.com/news/politics-…
The Monmouth poll, which had Biden up by 12 points among registered voters in early October, now shows the race at 50% for the Democrat and 45% for Trump.
The biggest swing occurred in surveys of PA’s swing counties. In the 10 counties where margins were closest four years ago, Trump leads 49% to 45%. Biden led those counties — concentrated in eastern PA and including Erie in the northwest — 53% to 42% a month ago.

Here's everything you need to know about the Allegheny County executive's call for a 100% vote-by-mail election. post-gazette.com/news/politics-…
He (@ACE_Fitzgerald) says it wasn't enough to postpone the primary and allow counties to consolidate polling place.

“That doesn’t absolve counties of the responsibility of still staffing those hundreds of polling places. That’s the rub."
@ACE_Fitzgerald Fitzgerald wants the governor to use his emergency powers to "set the rules" of the election. A spokesperson for Gov. Tom Wolf said the governor is “evaluating a variety of options” to increase mail-in ballot participation.
