We’ve been analyzing votes in key battleground states. Our latest: Arizona

The presidential race there remains too close to call but President-elect Joe Biden holds a lead after Phoenix and its suburbs swung to the left. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, has 60% of the state’s voters and is a county President Trump narrowly won in 2016.

Its swing toward Biden is making it possible for him to flip a state that a Democratic candidate for president hasn’t won since Bill Clinton in 1996.
In addition to the shift to the left in Maricopa County, Biden’s reportedly strong support among Native Americans in the state has also helped him gain the half-percentage-point lead he now maintains.
See many more details of the Arizona vote, along with the other states we’ve analyzed:

— Pennsylvania
— Texas
— Wisconsin
— Florida
— Georgia
— Michigan
— South Carolina

FTI, a global consulting firm, was hired by some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world to help promote fossil fuels. The work is the latest chapter in a long history of campaigns by the oil industry to influence climate policy. nyti.ms/3eS2ZH2
FTI helped design, staff and run campaigns and websites that sometimes obscured the industry’s role, portraying pro-petroleum groups as grass-roots movements. Former FTI employees say they studied online influence campaigns and compiled strategies for affecting public discourse. Image
An FTI spokesman disputed the idea that the firm worked behind the scenes for the oil and gas clients. “We hide behind no one,” he said.

Election officials in dozens of states from both parties told The New York Times that there was no evidence of voting fraud, amounting to a forceful rebuke of President Trump’s false narrative. nyti.ms/36oON4h
Beyond the president, Republicans in many states are engaged in a widespread effort to delegitimize the U.S. voting system. Some even lashed out at members of their own party who, in their eyes, did not show sufficient dedication to rooting out fraud. nyti.ms/3phZrm0

Emily Murphy, the administrator of the General Services Administration, must formally recognize President-elect Joe Biden for the transfer of power to begin. But with President Trump's refusal to concede, the process is in limbo.

Biden officials said Murphy's inaction was preventing their teams from moving into government offices and gaining access to classified systems. The teams cannot meet with their counterparts in agencies or begin background checks of top cabinet nominees. nyti.ms/3eIUwFZ
A White House official and Trump allies say the transition after the 2000 election was delayed by the court fight between Al Gore and George W. Bush. But Biden’s aides say that dispute involved one state and only about 500 ballots separating the candidates, far less than today.

On Monday, Pfizer and BioNTech announced preliminary results that suggested their coronavirus vaccine was more than 90 percent effective. Here’s what we know, and don’t know, about the vaccine. nyti.ms/2JRtxg2

Pfizer has said that it will likely apply for emergency authorization in the third week of November. Then, the FDA will consult with an outside advisory committee, and may take weeks to pore over detailed data about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. nyti.ms/2JRtxg2 Image
