Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kelly Boockvar tells @CNN that the state will have the “overwhelming majority” of ballots counted today. We may know today whether Biden or Trump won the state.
*550,000 ballots are left to count.
*“It’s looking like we’re ahead of schedule."

Sec. of State says 550,000 votes are left to count in Pennsylvania. Donald Trump’s lead there is 114,000. But Joe Biden has been chipping away at that number for the past 24 hours.

PENNSYLVANIA UPDATE:
Donald Trump’s margin continues to shrink.
Now: 108,772.
Secretary of State says she believes a winner could be known today.

Fox News has a handy chart of the margins in each swing state where the votes are still being counted.

The Trump campaign attacks Fox News decision desk director Arnon Mishkin for his early call of Arizona for Joe Biden.

(Even though some other networks haven’t called Arizona, Mishkin wasn’t alone. AP, PBS and Bloomberg all called Arizona.)

GEORGIA UPDATE:
Trump’s lead falls to 9,525 with 98 percent of the vote reported. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

We’re getting to the point where the main outstanding question is when the networks will call the entire election for Joe Biden.

For anyone wondering, Georgia elections fall under the purview of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

He’s a Republican.

Trump just now: "If you count the legal votes, I win."

MSNBC immediately cuts Trump off and say there’s no illegal voting.

I’m guessing Trump spoke about 14 seconds before MSNBC dropped the hammer.

Right now: PA Secretary of State Kelly Boockvar:
“The strength of the integrity of this vote is unparalleled.”
“No matter how you chose to vote this year…every method is incredibly safe and secure."

Earlier in the day Secretary of State Boockvar seemed a bit more confident in Pennsylvania’s ability to declare a winner today. She points out that the closer the race, longer it takes to do the count.

Asked about the personal safety of herself and her staff, PA Sec/State Boockvar says: "We have security. We make sure we are safe.”
