16. Haven't we had this dicussion? Again, NC estimated ballots to be counted.

All data is sourced from an unofficial API powering the New York Times’ election site. The estimated votes remaining values might be off. Consult the state website and do the math to tabulate the current count as this is a moving target. Subtract total ballots counted (results) from ballots cast (received) and you will get the estimated number of ballots left to be counted.

Both numbers are clearly in flux as cast ballots are still being received and counted. The deadline for this is November 12th.

From NCBOE

Ballots Cast:
74.57%, 5,488,131 out of 7,359,798 ballots as of this post.

Ballots Counted

Total up the numbers for each candidate (ballots counted) and subtract from ballots received and you should get the number of outstanding ballots, i.e. those yet to.be counted.

I think I have this right. I may be too tired to be making any sense. I'm sure you will be able to use the data sources and figure it out. Good luck. Have fun.

Over and Out.
