11:50 PM: More vote totals from Arizona, Georgia expected in the next three hours.
11:45 PM: Pennsylvania:
Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (and the presidency) by a combined 77,744 votes in 2016.
At this rate, Biden is on track to finish ahead by more than that in each of Michigan and Pennsylvania.
— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 5, 2020
In my benchmarks, Biden needed to win Montgomery Co. by 23.0% to carry PA. He's currently up by 25.6%.
Biden needed to lose Lebanon Co. by less than 35.0%. He's down there by only 32.1%. Northampton Co. -3.0%, +0.4%.
This is a pretty consistent picture across the state.
— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 5, 2020
Although the "Whole Foods revolt" against Trump wasn't as dramatic as we might have expected, it comes through for Biden in Chester Co., PA.
Biden now ahead in Chester by 16.5 points w/ 305k ballots counted – way more than enough. Clinton won it by 9.4 points w/ 270k cast.

2:50 PM:
To my eye, Biden is likely hitting the targets he needs in PA counties to be on track to finish ahead. And recounts don't typically overturn the margins we're likely to see for him in MI/WI.
If Biden does prevail in MI/PA/WI, then AZ/GA/NV wouldn't matter to the outcome.
