One day later, the battle rages on. Could it be a blue White House this time or a continued red wave for the US?
The former seems likely as Joe Biden is inching closer to the magic number needed to secure his presidency -- 270.
Biden is leading with 264 electoral college votes after winning crucial states of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Incumbent President Donald Trump meanwhile, is trailing at 214 and decided to seek a recount of ballots in Wisconsin despite announcing a premature 'victory' earlier and threatening to move the Supreme Court to stop further vote count.
All eyes have now turned towards Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina where counting is still in progress.

According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University, voters aged between 18 to 29 are voting in record numbers, including more than eight million young people who voted early or absentee in the 2020 elections.
For the most part, what they said they would, which primarily meant labeling false or misleading election posts in order to point users to reliable information. In Twitter's case, that sometimes meant obscuring the offending posts, forcing readers to click through warnings to see them and limiting the ability to share them.
"People are following closely, me included but it seems that the votes are still being counted and results have not come yet," China's Vice-Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said at a media conference here when asked to comment on the US Presidential poll. "We hope the election will proceed smoothly and successfully," Le, a former Ambassador to India said, adding that there is a room for cooperation despite "some differences".
As it stands, there are five states still left uncalled, including major prizes such as Pennsylvania and key small state Nevada, as well as Georgia, North Carolina and Alaska.
Much of the delay has resulted from a flood of mailed-in ballots due to the coronavirus -- and those types of votes have tended to favor Democrats.
"I grew up in Belgaum, in poverty. I know the issues faced by the common man. People in my area once thought how could an 'outsider' like me solve their problems," he said. "The US has given me so much. I thought I owe it to this country and so decided to enter politics to serve the people," the 65-year-old former scientist and businessman of Indian origin told Marathi TV channel ABP Majha.
Indian-origin candidates Rikin Mehta and Sara Gideon have lost their Senate race from New Jersey and Maine respectively, according to projections made by the American media.
Arizona released fresh election results, which showed Biden's lead narrowing. According to the Guardian, the two presidential candidates are just 79,000 votes apart. Maricopa, a conservative stronghold and Arizona's most populous county, accounts for a majority of votes. Even as the Associated Press has declared Biden a victor here, others are still of the opinion that the race is too close to call.
Doug Burgum has no authority to appointment a coal company executive to fill a state House seat won by a Republican candidate who died before the election, the attorney general said Wednesday. Burgum announced Wednesday that he was appointing BNI Energy President Wade Boeshans to the seat won Tuesday by David Andahl, who died last month from COVID-19. North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said in a statement that Burgum's appointment on the day following the election "is both inaccurate and untimely."
According to Associated Press tally, Biden has received 7,21,02,585 votes and has 50.4% in his favour. Incumbent Trump is trailing at 48% votes, with 6,86,37,070 to his favour.

With a 49.6 per cent vote share and a lead of 22,567 votes more than Biden, counting in Georgia may soon be complete.
If Biden fails to cover the gap, it's 16 votes in Trump's favour, taking his count to 230. While Trump will still fall short by 40 seats, Pennsylvania and North Carolina may take him past the 270-threshold, if Biden doesn't win Nevada first, that is.
For four years, Democrats have been haunted by the crumbling of the blue wall, the trio of Great Lakes states — Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — that their candidates had been able to count on every four years. But Trump’s populist appeal struck a chord with white working-class voters and he captured all three in 2016 by a combined total of just 77,000 votes. (READ FULL REPORT HERE)
A federal appeals court has allowed a Trump administration rule that would deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits like food stamps to go back into effect while it considers the case. The Election Day development was the latest dizzying twist in a legal battle over the controversial rule that the Trump administration argues helps ensure those who are self-sufficient come to the country.
According to CNN, With 71% of mail-in ballots counted in Pennsylvania, officials still needs to count 763,000 of the 2.6 million cast, as per the state’s official website. Major updates are expected from both Philadelphia County, the largest in the state, and Allegheny County, home to Pittsburgh, later today.
Pennsylvania: Trump in lead with more than 164,000 votes
Georgia: Trump is leading by about 26,000 votes
Arizona: Biden in the lead by almost 79,000 votes but Trump may narrow the gap
Despite being a small state with merely six electoral college votes and a paper-thin lead for Biden at the moment, (with a lead of over 8,000 votes) a blue win in the state could be Biden's ticket to the White House as he currently stands at 264, according to Associated Press' figures (including Arizona tally even as it continues to count its ballots). No longer are we talking of swing states, the tables have turned.
Shri Thanedar, an Indian-origin Democrat millionaire who ran for Governor two years ago, has been elected to the House of Representatives in Michigan with 93 per cent votes.

A spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that he has no comments as of now on the 2020 US Presidential Election and the process is being watched closely. "No, not at this point. I mean, we're all watching, obviously, closely. The process is still is playing itself out. We do not have a comment at this point," Spokesman for the Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric said on Wednesday.
As of November 4, Biden had got over 70.7 million votes, more than anyone who has ever run for president, the National Public Radio (NPR) reported. This count includes 300,000 more votes than what Obama got in 2008, which was the previous record. Biden surpassed the popular vote record of 69,498,516 set by Obama in 2008.

President Donald Trump's campaign filed lawsuits Wednesday in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia, laying the groundwork for contesting battleground states as he slipped behind Democrat Joe Biden in the hunt for the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
The new filings, joining existing Republican legal challenges in Pennsylvania and Nevada, demand better access for campaign observers to locations where ballots are being processed and counted, and raise absentee ballot concerns, the campaign said.
More than 99,000 coronavirus cases were recorded in the United States in the past 24 hours, a new daily record, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. The country reported 99,660 new infections between 8:30 pm Tuesday and 8:30 pm Wednesday (0130 GMT), and 1,112 deaths, the tally by the Baltimore-based school showed a day after American's went voted to choose their next president.
Democrat Gary Peters has held onto his Senate seat in Michigan. He has defeated Republican challenger John James, a Black business executive and former combat veteran.
Trump camp says it’s suing to stop Pennsylvania vote count over lack of 'transparency,' and seek Supreme Court's intervention. Further, dozens of President Donald Trump supporters screamed “Stop the count!” on a vote-tallying center in Detroit on Wednesday, shortly before the declaration of Joe Biden's win in Michigan.

Joe Biden's White House campaign slammed President Donald Trump's threat to try to stop the election vote count as "outrageous" early Wednesday, saying its legal team was ready to prevent such an "unprecedented" act. Biden has long warned that Trump was seeking to diminish the integrity of mail-in voting, which has surged this year given the health concerns about going in person to polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.

From Ford Model T cars that popped off the assembly line in just 90 minutes to 60-second service for burgers, the United States has had a major hand in making the world a frenetic and impatient place, primed and hungry for instant gratification.
So waking up to the news Wednesday that the winner of the U.S. election might not be known for hours, days or weeks — pundits filled global airwaves with their best guesses — came as a shock to a planet weaned on that most American of exports: speed.
According to the latest election result update, Nehls garnered 52 per cent of the votes at 204,537, while Kulkarni got 44 per cent with 175,738 votes in the November 3 election. If elected, 41-year-old Louisiana-born Kulkarni would have become the first Asian-American ever to serve in the Texas congressional delegation. A former diplomat who served in Iraq, Russia, Israel and Taiwan, Kulkarni in March had secured an easy victory in the Democratic primary for Texas' 22nd Congressional district against former Pearland city council member Derrick Reed and attorney Nyanza Davis Moore.
In a year turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic, many states made it easier to vote by mail, and millions chose to do so rather than venturing out to cast ballots in person. That meant a slowdown in the tabulation of results because votes received by mail often take longer to process than ballots cast at polling places.
European stock markets, which opened sharply lower after President Donald Trump said he would go to the Supreme Court to dispute the US vote count, turned higher in late morning deals.
Asian indices mostly closed up but that was ahead of Trump declaring he would dispute the election.

Joe Biden is only the second Democratic presidential candidate since 1948 to win the longtime Republican stronghold Arizona.
Democrat Joe Biden has won Arizona and its 11 electoral votes, flipping a critical battleground state that Donald Trump won four years ago and that could help determine which candidate wins the presidency. The victory by Biden was a huge blow to Trump’s chances for reelection. Arizona has backed a Democratic presidential candidate only once in the last 72 years.

President Trump and Joe Biden shift their focus to Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states that could again determine who wins the White House.
The Democratic Party candidate told a gathering of supporters that his hopes for victory remain high despite the uncertainty and cautioned them that it could take a day or longer to know who won.
The Republican nominee on Wednesday was awarded six electoral votes from Iowa and three electoral votes from Montana.
Trump won Iowa by more than 9 percentage points four years ago against Democrat Hillary Clinton, but his support eroded significantly over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the overall direction of the country.
A victory in Florida means reelection is within Trump’s grasp. A loss in the state would have made it nearly impossible for Trump to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to retain the White House.

We had a smooth Election Day. The votes have been cast. Your local elections officials are working to count the ballots.
As we have said for months: this election will be over when all the eligible votes are counted. Stay calm.
Biden was awarded the state’s 10 electoral votes on Tuesday. Biden made up for his campaign getting a late start in Minnesota compared with Trump, who held several campaign rallies in the state this election cycle. The former vice president took advantage of anti-Trump sentiment and organizing efforts by the state’s Democrats, who stressed COVID-19 and health care issues.
A number of key states still have hundreds of thousands of ballots outstanding, after a large influx of mail ballots have slowed down the count in states across the nation.
The unknown factor this time remains the mail-in ballots. These are expected to contribute a greater percentage of Democratic votes. Will it prove the decisive factor in an election US experts are saying is too close to call at the moment? We will have to wait to find out.
The state was considered a 2020 battleground despite not going for a Republican presidential candidate since George W. Bush in 2000. Four years ago, Democrat Hillary Clinton won the small state over Trump by roughly 2,700 votes. That’s less than 1% of the 732,000 ballots cast, and it was the second-closest margin of victory in the country.
California has 55 electoral votes, the biggest haul of any state. It’s also the home of Biden’s running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris. She served as the San Francisco district attorney and the state’s attorney general before winning election to the Senate in 2016.
Trump had managed to flip the state that has supported only Democratic candidate 1988. He is leading Biden with a clear majority in Wisconsin, preparing to repeat his achievement.
Trump won Michigan by just 0.2 percentage points in 2016 – the narrowest margin of any state. The President, however, has managed to maintain clear lead over his rival so far.
Sarah McBride, 30, became Delaware's first trans senator, taking 86 percent of the vote in the state's first Senate district. She is also the first openly trans state senator in the United States and the highest-ranking trans official in the country.
Further north in Vermont, Taylor Small, 26, became the state's first transgender representative, taking 43 percent and 41 percent of the vote in her two districts.
Krishnamoorthi, 47, who was born in New Delhi, easily defeated Preston Nelson of the Libertarian Party. When last reports came in, he had accounted for nearly 71 percent of the total votes counted.

Pennsylvania emerged as a hot spot for online misinformation on Election Day. Facebook and Twitter scrambled to take down false posts about polling locations in Scranton, Philadelphia and beyond to minimize the spread of misinformation and prevent it from sowing doubt about the election process.
In 2016, the US President had won against Democrat Hillary Clinton in the state by 18 percentage points.
Republican Tommy Tuberville has been declared the winner of the Alabama Senate race, defeating Democratic incumbent Doug Jones.

Donald Trump’s campaign got no quick decision from the Nevada Supreme Court on an appeal aimed at stopping the count of mail-in ballots in the Las Vegas area.
The president's campaign made the claim in a tweet as ballots were still being counted in the state that holds 29 state-by-state Electoral College votes. The New York Times put the president's chances of winning Florida at over 95 percent. Trump narrowly beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida in 2016 and opinion polls have shown a dead heat this year.
Voter turnout for the 2020 presidential election was massive, but it didn't come close to the record. That was set in 1876, when 81.8% of eligible voters went to the polls.

Election Day is finally upon us. Or at least what we still call Election Day, since more than 93 million Americans have already cast ballots in an election that has been reshaped by the worst pandemic in more than a century, its economic fallout and a long-simmering reckoning with systemic racism.
Signature matches. Late-arriving absentee votes. Drop boxes. Secrecy envelopes. Since the 2000 presidential election, which was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, both parties have enlisted legal teams to prepare for the unlikely event that voting wouldn't settle the contest.
Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he feels "very good" about his chances of winning the presidential elections against his Democratic rival Joe Biden, hoping that the large crowds at his rallies in key battleground states would turn into votes for him.
Senator Kamala Harris becoming US president would be a "terrible thing" for both the country and women, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday as Americans were voting in one of the most divisive bitter presidential polls in decades.
