Wednesday, November 4th
12:01 a.m.
While Fox News has called states, neither the Associated Press nor the New York Times have reported them. The numbers remain stagnant at 209-118 as we log off of our livestream. We will keep updating online as more mail-in ballots are counted and precincts report results. Stay with us.
1:08 a.m.
As we went off the air, more states were called. The margin is heavily narrowed, but it seems it will be a while until we get a winner. Joe Biden has officially won Minnesota and Hawaii, and President Trump won Ohio, Florida, Texas, and Montana. The Associated Press has Biden in the lead still, but it's incredibly close, with 224-213. Arizona is still heavily leaning towards Biden, but it hasn't officially been called.
8:36 a.m.
During the night, Joe Biden took a little more of a lead with winning the key state of Arizona and also Maine. The tally now stands at 238-213. Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia currently hold leads towards Trump, but with millions of mail-in ballots to go through. Wisconsin and Nevada are leaning towards Joe Biden. While President Trump claims he will go to the Supreme Court to stop ballots, that is not a power he posesses.
12:00 p.m.
With 97% of precincts reported, it looks like Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes will go to Joe Biden. If official, it will be 248-213, after adding to the current Associated Press map. The New York Times still has the count at 227-213, with Arizona still not called on their map. President Trump also announced he will demand a recount, but it would not be able to start for another 2 weeks.
1:50 p.m.
If Joe Biden holds on to his leads in Michigan, Wisconsin (still not official), and Nevada, he will achieve the 270 votes needed to get into the White House. Trump will need Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia to stay in this.
2:25 p.m.
Biden officially secures Wisconsin winning 10 more electoral votes. The tally now stands at 248-214, since Trump secured Maine's second district. If Biden hangs on to his leads in Michigan and Nevada, he will reach the 270 mark to be President. Trump has already filed a lawsuit in Michigan to stop counting ballots as Biden leads 49.7% to Trump's 48.8%.
4:20 p.m.
CNN projects that Biden officially wins the state of Michigan, yet another flip from 2016, when President Trump won narrowly over Hillary Clinton. Those 16 electoral votes make Biden's chances much greater, with the tally being 264-214, including Arizona.
4:25 p.m.

According to the New York Times, Georgia Secretary of State hopes that they will, but if it is not that they have a reduced amount to count tomorrow morning.
