We analyzed voting in battleground states to see who helped cast deciding votes:

— How Hispanics along the border with Mexico helped President Trump win Texas.

— How white voters in cities and suburbs in Michigan and Wisconsin helped flip those states.

Here's what we found.
Georgia has yet to be called as Joe Biden continues to cut into President Trump’s slim lead with most of the remaining votes coming from Atlanta, where Biden has seen big gains in support.

See more on our analysis of the Georgia vote. nyti.ms/3p4gvM4
A closer look at Atlanta and its suburbs shows Biden’s core of support in the state located there, with the outer rings of the city trending largely toward Trump. nyti.ms/3p4gvM4 Image

Protests over the #Election2020 vote count have swept through American cities. Here’s what it looks like across the country. nyti.ms/2TZIhep
SEATTLE — A coalition of protest groups marched on Wednesday night, some chanting, “Every city, every town, Trump-Pence out now.” nyti.ms/2TZIhep Image
MINNEAPOLIS — Several hundred people halted traffic on Interstate 94.

“Our focus is on not allowing Donald Trump to steal this election from the American people,” Nekima Levy Armstrong, a lawyer who joined the protests, said on the phone from the freeway. nyti.ms/2TZIhep Image

It has been two days since #Election2020. Here’s the latest:

Biden currently has 27 ways to win the presidency, while President Trump has four paths to re-election. There's one scenario where it could be a tie.

If you’re starting your day in the U.S., here’s the latest from election night:
— No winner has been named in the U.S. presidential race.
— The election remains tight, with both President Trump and Joe Biden several dozen electoral votes shy of winning. nyti.ms/32b7ZkN
As expected, votes are still being counted. States never finish counting ballots on election night.

Trump made baseless claims this morning about where the race stands, saying he wanted to end ballot counting early. nyti.ms/3oViLVT
Both Trump and Biden still have paths to winning.

For Biden, one route goes through Arizona and Georgia.

For Trump, winning may depend on holding onto Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, three states he won in 2016. nyti.ms/3mSDvvL

Election polls in the U.S. will start closing Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern and will continue until 1 a.m.

Here’s a complete list of closing times and a detailed analysis of what to look for as polls close in every state. nyti.ms/3jXHc1g
The keywords for this election are patience and caution.

With so many people voting by mail, don’t expect states to be called quickly.

And beware of partial results from places like Pennsylvania and Florida, which may be misleading.
6 p.m. Eastern

President Trump is expected to win both Indiana and Kentucky, and Senator Mitch McConnell is expected to win re-election in Kentucky. If his challenger, Amy McGrath, makes it competitive, it could be a very bad night for Republicans.

Voted but didn't get a sticker? We've got you covered.
nyti.ms/34TD2mN
For many, "I Voted" stickers are a central, tangible representation of civic engagement, one that they can wear in selfies or on the street to galvanize others to vote. nyti.ms/32aH8VR
With more people voting by mail than ever before because of the pandemic, filling out ballots from beds and kitchen tables, many have not received a civic duty souvenir. nyti.ms/32aH8VR
