Election 2020 presidential results

The presidential race between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden remains on a razor's edge as election workers in key states continue to plow through mail-in ballots.

Most states, with the help of USPS, sent ballot envelopes with a unique set of numbers for each individual voter. Those numbers are often known as Intelligent Mail Barcodes, which allow the Postal Service to track the ballot.

It's still too close to call a winner in these six states as votes continue to be counted: Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

The Republican governor of Arizona said the state is “following established Arizona election law to the letter,” following President Trump’s White House statement tonight claiming the election was being stolen from him.

Contrary to the President’s demands in Pennsylvania and Georgia, the Trump campaign has pushed for vote counting to continue in Arizona as they hope to overtake Joe Biden. The most recent updates in the returns have helped Trump narrow the gap in that state.

“We’ve seen dramatic changes to races up and down the ballot since Tuesday night, including for President,” Ducey said. “All of this underlines the importance of not jumping to conclusions in the state of Arizona until there is a final outcome in all counties.”

At least three counties across Georgia have stopped counting ballots for the night, county officials told CNN Thursday evening.

This includes, Cobb County, an Atlanta suburb where Hillary Clinton won by a small margin in 2016 and Taylor County, located roughly 100 miles south of Atlanta.

Gwinnett County, the second largest county in the state, has stopped counting ballots for the evening and plan to update their results to Georgia's Secretary of State website on Friday morning.

In the final hours of Thursday night, with Joe Biden continuing to close in on President Trump in Georgia and Pennsylvania, the former vice president's campaign is projecting confidence.

The campaign believes it is simply a matter of when – not if – the race will be called for Biden. 

Trump’s speech tonight from the White House filled with lies about the democratic vote-tallying process unfolding across the country only appears to have fueled the Biden team’s confidence, with one official calling the remarks “baseless and a sure sign he’s losing.”

Joe Biden keeps gaining ground in Georgia tonight, and he's now in a near tie with President Trump in that traditionally red state.

It's a different story in Arizona, where Biden's advantage has narrowed, but he stills appears to be on a path toward nearing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

Biden currently has 253 electoral votes, while Trump has 213.

Here's a look at where things stand in the closest contests:

As the state’s presidential election results remain too close to call, the Democratic governor of Nevada has criticized President Trump’s claim Thursday that the election is being stolen from him.

Joe Biden led in Nevada by more than 11,000 votes Thursday night, with no further updates expected from the state until Friday.

Saying he had “utmost confidence” in his state’s election officials, Sisolak promised they would continue to make sure every vote is counted, regardless of the President’s statements.

“It was clear that the intent of his message was to undermine the public’s confidence in the integrity of our election processes and system, which in turn undermines one of the core pillars of our democracy,” Sisolak said.

President Trump's lead in Georgia continues to shrink and is now at less than 2,000 votes as ballots continue to be counted through the night.

In Georgia, the Election Day votes were counted first and the mail-in ballots second, CNN's John King said. There are roughly 16,000 votes still to be counted in the state, he added.

The bigger picture: Trump can't afford to lose Georgia's 16 electoral votes if he wants to reach the 270-electoral-vote threshold. He currently has 213 electoral votes.

CNN's John King has more:

Joe Biden continued to cut into President Trump's narrow lead in Georgia, with new results just released in Clayton Country, CNN's John King reports. 

Of the roughly 1,300 votes released around 9:15 p.m. ET, 1,154 were for Biden while 165 were for President Trump, giving Biden 86% of the votes in that tranche.

Clayton County, a Democratic stronghold included in the Atlanta metropolitan area, still has 5,726 uncounted ballots which officials say will be released by midnight.

If Biden continues to win votes at 86% or above, Clayton County alone could put Trump's path to the presidency in serious peril, noted King. 

Joe Biden’s lead in Arizona continues to narrow, with President Trump receiving 42,276 and Biden with 31,700 in the latest batch of counted votes.

Biden has 50.1% of the vote in the state compared to Trump's 48.5%.

The former vice president leads Trump in the state by approximately 46,257 votes.

“We are seeing, in Arizona, the opposite of what we are seeing in Georgia and Pennsylvania,” John King said during CNN’s special election coverage.

“They have a Republican history in Maricopa County. President Trump carried the county last time. This is one of the most fiercely contested states in American politics.”

Why this matters: Eleven electoral votes are at play in the state. Both candidates need 270 electoral votes to win the presidency. Biden currently has 253 electoral votes, while Trump has 213.

Officials from Maricopa County, the most populous in the state, are expected to speak in a news conference soon.
