THREAD: The Associated Press is explaining all of our race calls and states that haven’t been called yet. 

The @AP has not called the presidential race yet because neither candidate has secured the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory. 

apne.ws/4B23ET6
As of 7 p.m. Wednesday, Joe Biden had 264 electoral votes and President Trump had 214.

@AP has not yet called Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Georgia (16), North Carolina (15), Nevada (6), and Alaska (3).

apne.ws/UiveB5Q
In Pennsylvania, Trump's lead had slipped down to 326,000 by Wednesday afternoon. And the race is destined to get tighter.

A final vote total may not be clear for days because the use of mail in ballots, which take more time to process, has surged as a result of the pandemic.

THREAD: To hold onto Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, President Trump needs to prove that a hidden groundswell of supporters exists — and will vote.

Read more in the final installment of @AP’s #AmericaDisrupted series: apne.ws/hf2x4vz
Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes out of 6.1 million cast in 2016. A Democratic surge of votes in cities and suburbs could quickly erase that narrow lead.

Polls show Trump consistently trailing Joe Biden in the state. #AmericaDisrupted

@AP Trump's fate lies in large part in places like Butler County, an overwhelmingly white, conservative county north of Pittsburgh.

There are nearly two Republicans for each registered Democrat. Most adults did not graduate from college.
