Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

Quick turnaround from the Supreme Court, which has just granted the Pennsylvania GOP’s request to instruct county election boards to segregate mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day. This order was probably made easier by the fact that, as Amelia noted earlier, the Pennsylvania secretary of state had already directed counties to do this. In his order, Justice Samuel Alito did not order counties to stop counting these ballots, which was also part of the initial request this afternoon. Pennsylvania’s secretary of state has said that there aren’t enough of these late-arriving ballots to affect the final outcome of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.

And, from Arizona political observer extraordinaire Garrett Archer, here is a third estimate of the remaining votes: 243,000.

One thing that is making Arizona harder to project is that we don’t really know how many uncounted ballots remain. The state website says 244,038, but some of its numbers haven’t been updated for days. And the secretary of state told CNN there are 235,000 ballots left — but also 47,000 provisional ballots.
