If it goes to Biden, it's pretty much done. And if today's batch in NV goes heavily toward Biden, we could see NV called too. Then I think Biden will definitely have enough.

AZ, NV and GA should have more or less final numbers by noon today. Also PA will be dumping a bunch of data today which may be enough to make the call there as well.

I think Joe will be giving the announcement we have all been waiting for later this afternoon or this evening.

by today, all the states will have counted all except a splattering of a combination of military, provisional, late but valid votes. Those combined would not change the margins currently held by a candidate and at that point, the certainty of the winner would be known.

Fox at least would almost have to call it or admit they are unsure of Arizona.

I think there is just so much rabble-rousing going on with Trump and his supporters that networks don't want to make anymore moves until the results are 100% certain that Biden won and Trump lost. If this was a normal election with an adult Republican who can handle electoral defeat in a mature manner, Arizona would have been called by all of the networks on election night.
