Pennsylvania, Michigan & Wisconsin Still Counting Votes; NBC News & Fox Call Ohio & Texas For Trump – Update

 

FIFTH UPDATE, 11:59 PM PT: The electoral numbers are all over the place, the candidates have spoken in speeches that were neither really victory nor concession remarks and no determination yet on who controls the Senate late tonight.

Welcome to Election night 2020.

As Donald Trump’s team rages over Fox News calling Arizona for Joe Biden, pivotal states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia are in flux as votes are still being counted. At this point, the best we can say is we will update when those ballots are finalized, whether that be Wednesday or later.

FOURTH UPDATE, 9:10 PM PT: Donald Trump is projected to win Ohio, NBC News projects, dashing hopes for Democrats that it could have been a Joe Biden pickup.

Meanwhile, Fox News projected that Texas would go to Trump, after hopes that the former VP had a shot at scoring an upset. As well as continuing the Democrats’ winning streak in Minnesota, Biden was the projected victor in Virginia, a state that has turned more solidly blue in recent cycles after being a swing state.

THIRD UPDATE, 8:31 PM PT: Fox News projected Joe Biden would win Arizona, a pickup of a state that Donald Trump won four years ago.

Jason Miller, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, tweeted, “WAY too soon to be calling Arizona…way too soon. We believe over 2/3 of those outstanding Election Day voters are going to be for Trump. Can’t believe Fox was so anxious to pull the trigger here after taking so long to call Florida. Wow.”

Fox News called Florida earlier in the evening but other networks have not called it yet.

SECOND UPDATE, 8:02 PM PT: Joe Biden was the projected winner of California, which comes as no surprise, on an evening that seems to have dashed Democratic hopes of a blue wave.

“There’s a lot of math to go,” MSNBC’s Brian Williams said after the call of the Golden State and Oregon and Washington.

Network anchors were starting to talk about no winner being known on Tuesday night and instead a long wait until states count the vote.

“What we are getting is people are sticking to their party lines for the most part,” said Joy Reid.

UPDATE, 6:40 PM PT: Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives and expand their majority by at least five seats, Fox News’ Decision Desk projected.

The projection was made at 9:18 PM ET.

Democrats saw their first Senate seat slip of the night, as John Hickenlooper defeated Cory Gardner.

PREVIOUSLY, 4:11 PM PT: The time has finally arrived, as the first polls closed in ket swing states that will decide whether Donald Trump is reelected or ousted in favor of Joe Biden.

Polls closed at 7 PM ET in Georgia and the eastern part of Florida, and North Carolina’s cutoff was scheduled for 7:30 PM ET, although some precincts had extended hours.

CNN called Indiana, where polls closed at 6 PM ET, for Trump, but that was expected.

Earlier, CNN and other outlets revealed the results of exit poll information that revealed what issues were most important to voters, but it was difficult to discern whether the data was more favorable to Trump or Biden.

Statistical guru Nate Silver cautioned, “Nothing I’ve seen or heard about the exit polls give me confidence that they’ve figured out how to balance the different types of votes that are coming in. Lots of weird, somewhat incongruous results based on what’s been reported. I would ignore.”
