With Joe Biden's wins in Wisconsin and Michigan, per Decision Desk, Joe Biden is now just 17 electoral votes shy of a win in the presidential election.

A win in just PA (20), or the combination of AZ (11) and NV (6) would get him there.

2/ If Biden wins Arizona and Nevada, both states he is leading in, it would put him at exactly 270 electoral votes. A big update from Arizona is expected Wednesday evening.
3/ Many eyes are on Pennsylvania; Trump’s lead has been shrinking as the state continues to process a large number of mail in ballots.

The remaining vote there “appears to be overwhelmingly for Biden,” per the New York Times’ @Nate_Cohn.
4/ Pennsylvania is also crucial to Trump’s chances of winning at this point: Trump really has no other option than to win the state, writes @awprokop.

Even if Trump wins Pennsylvania, it may not be enough — he’d have to pry either Arizona or Nevada away from Biden too.
5/5 Overall, a range of outcomes is plausible — from an Electoral College win of 300+ electoral votes for Biden, to a much closer win for Biden, to a win for Trump.

But Biden’s chances look much better than Trump’s at this point. vox.com/2020/11/4/2154…

It's day three of Election "Day." Here's the state of the race as of Thursday midday:

• Five key states still remain uncalled by Decision Desk: PA, NV, GA, AZ, and NC.

• Vote counts in PA, NV, and GA continue to trend toward Biden — for now. vox.com/2020/11/5/2155…
2/ Among these states, eyes are on Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes.

If Biden wins Pennsylvania, he wins the presidency, regardless of what happens in these other uncalled states.
vox.com/2020/11/5/2155…
3/ Nevada also delivered some encouraging news for Biden in its first significant vote count update in some time.

Biden's narrow lead over Trump expanded to about 1 percentage point, or about 13,000 votes.

More than 100,000 votes remain to be counted.

1/ It takes 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election.

Whether Biden or Trump is victorious depends on which key states they pick up.

Here are the states we're watching: vox.com/21428915/elect… #Election2020
2/ The big six swing states:

Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina are the states that are viewed as most likely to determine the outcome of the election.
3/ Four of them — Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida — were won by Barack Obama in 2012 but Trump in 2016.

Eking out a small margin of victory in most of these states can give a candidate a massive Electoral College payoff.

1/ To celebrate Halloween, it's witch week here at Vox.

Here are five recommendations involving witches from the Vox Culture team, perfect for summoning anyone's inner spooky spirit: vox.com/one-good-thing
2/ In a game of The Great American Witch, you and your fellow players form a coven somewhere in America.

Though you can play a witch of any gender, all the witches in the game share a goal: to dismantle the white supremacist patriarchy, brick by brick: vox.com/culture/214994…
3/ “Someone in this class is a witch.”

Witch Week's magic-infested school takes place somewhere grimier and sadder than Harry Potter’s glittering wizard world.

It's an endearing read and joyful love letter to middle school weirdos: vox.com/culture/215145…

BREAKING: President Trump’s expected Supreme Court nominee is Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a favorite of the religious right, according to multiple news outlets. Here’s what else you need to know about her background and record. vox.com/21446700/amy-c…
Judge Barrett is a staunch Catholic and a former law clerk to conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

She was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2017, also by Trump.
Barrett has very conservative views on issues like abortion and LGBTQ rights — and has reportedly stated that life begins at conception.

Based on her previous legal reviews of NFIB v. Sebelius (2012) and King v. Burwell (2015), she's also likely to vote to undercut Obamacare.
