It has been two days since #Election2020. Here’s the latest:
— The presidential race remains too close to call.
— Six states have yet to be decided.
— Joe Biden is 17 electoral votes shy of the 270 needed to win.

Here’s where the presidential race stands:

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.

The New York Times has not projected a winner in Arizona, where Biden leads by less than 3 percentage points. His lead in Maricopa County, the state's largest, shrank with about 5% of the vote still out; the county will update numbers after 9 p.m. Eastern.

Biden cut into Trump's lead in Georgia, where Republicans promised to file lawsuits in a dozen or more counties. Trump’s lead is about 0.5 percent, the threshold where a candidate may request a recount.

Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes would clinch the race for Biden, who cut Trump’s earlier lead of 10 percentage points to less than 3 percentage points. A clearer picture will emerge with more results on Thursday.

Biden leads Trump by less than 10,000 votes in Nevada, a surprise battleground state. It plans to release more election results by noon Eastern on Thursday.

Trump leads Biden by less than 2 percentage points in North Carolina. But with most votes counted, Biden would need to win about two-thirds of the remainder to pull ahead. nyti.ms/2Gumsk3

With his path to re-election narrowing, President Trump has turned to the courts and procedural maneuvers in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin in a last-ditch effort.

Protests over ballot tallies in battleground states varied based on who leads where: In Phoenix, where Biden holds an edge, Trump supporters — some of them armed — called on officials to “count the vote.”

In Detroit, hours before Michigan was called for Biden on Wednesday, the president’s supporters stood outside a ballot-processing office calling for officials to “stop the count.”

More Europeans are hospitalized with Covid-19 now than during the spring’s worst days, new data for 21 countries shows. The crisis is threatening to overwhelm stretched hospitals and exhausted medical workers. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"I am afraid the virus is doubling faster than we could ever conceivably add capacity," Boris Johnson said on Monday.

Many European countries have now imposed fresh lockdowns. But they came late, and it could be weeks before they stem the patient influx. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Countries across Europe are scrambling to find solutions.

Switzerland approved deploying military personnel to help hospitals. France has postponed non-emergency surgeries.

In Belgium, some hospitals have asked staff who tested positive but don’t have symptoms to keep working.

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

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

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

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
