Outstanding votes in Pennsylvania: Where we stand [View all]

'Pennsylvania had counted 86% of its mail ballots as shortly after 12 p.m. Thursday, according to state data.

There are more than 360,000 mail ballots left to count.

President Donald Trump currently has a lead of 115,071 votes over Joe Biden in Pennsylvania.

Here are the vote totals thus far:

Trump has 50.32%, or 3,228,960 votes.
Biden has 48.53%, or 3,113,889 votes.
As of 12:11 p.m.

Mail ballots cast: 2,600,691
Mail ballots counted: 2,239,725 or 86%

These numbers may slow down a bit today, as Allegheny will wait to process 29,000 mail ballots that were resent because of errors (need to make sure no one double voted).'

'Reports that vote counters in Allegheny County are taking the day off are misleading. Here’s the true story.
You may have seen national reports that Allegheny County is taking the day off from counting 35,000 remaining mail ballots. Those reports are misleading.

Because a mailing company sent 29,000 ballots to the wrong voters, Allegheny County cannot begin processing those votes until Friday after 5 p.m.

That’s laid out in a court settlement between the Allegheny County Board of Elections and two Republican Congressional candidates, who sued elections officials in October over their handling of the mailing error. Under a separate state Supreme Court ruling, counties can accept and count mail ballots that arrive by 5 p.m. Friday — making it the current return deadline.

The other 6,000 ballots similarly have issues that need to be reviewed by a special board that meets Friday.'
