There are still seven states left undecided in the presidential race. Heres where they stand on Wednesday morning.
Wisconsin. Joe Biden leads by about 20,000 votes or by seven-tenths of a percentage point (which is almost exactly the margin of President Trumps victory here in 2016). That might not seem like a daunting deficit, but theres just not much reason for hope for Mr. Trump. Only a scattering of precincts remain across the state. This race might still be considered too close to call as long as there are still outstanding votes, but you can pencil this one into the Biden column if youre gaming out whats likely to happen from here.
Nevada. Mr. Biden has only a narrow lead, but here again its hard to see where Mr. Trump is supposed to make up ground. All of the Election Day vote has been counted, and now only Democratic-leaning late mail and provisional ballots remain. Nevada election officials said no more results would be released until noon Eastern on Thursday.
Arizona. The president is at a much larger five-point deficit in Arizona, so you might be surprised to learn that its still up for grabs. But theres uncertainty about the remaining vote. One thing we know: There are late mail ballots, received by the state over the last few days. These ballots usually tilt Democratic, but this year they might not. So many Democrats rushed their ballots in early that most of the remaining absentee ballots are from registered Republicans. Its possible these Republicans just went out and voted on Election Day. But its also possible theyve sent in their ballots, which havent been counted yet. Well get a better idea later Wednesday, when officials have said they expect to have finished counting ballots.
