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

We knew coming into the election that mail ballots would be counted last in many states because of how their ballot-processing system worked. We also knew mail ballots would be heavily Democratic because of a huge partisan split in how people planned to vote — a split that Trump himself exacerbated by trying to cast doubt on mail ballots and discouraging his own supporters from voting by mail despite the coronavirus pandemic. Trump is also making unfounded claims about fraud. His campaign complained in court earlier today about supposedly not having observers in the counting room in Philadelphia, but his campaign’s attorney admitted that the campaign already had observers in the room, which prompted the judge to ask, “Then what’s your problem?” Additionally, the votes being counted in places like Pennsylvania are votes that were cast by Election Day, which Trump is wrongly claiming were too late to be counted. This press conference is another attempt to undermine faith in the election result, just as the president has spent the entire campaign doing.
