THREAD: The Associated Press is explaining all of our race calls and states that haven’t been called yet. 

The @AP has not called the presidential race yet because neither candidate has secured the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory.  http://apne.ws/4B23ET6 
As of 7 p.m. Wednesday, Joe Biden had 264 electoral votes and President Trump had 214.

@AP has not yet called Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes), Georgia (16), North Carolina (15), Nevada (6), and Alaska (3). http://apne.ws/UiveB5Q 
In Pennsylvania, Trump's lead had slipped down to 326,000 by Wednesday afternoon. And the race is destined to get tighter.

A final vote total may not be clear for days because the use of mail in ballots, which take more time to process, has surged as a result of the pandemic.
Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina all are continuing to accept mail-in ballots, as long as they were sent by Election Day. Their cutoff dates vary.
In Arizona, the @AP declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner at 2:50 a.m. EST Wednesday, after an analysis of ballots cast statewide concluded there were not enough outstanding to allow Trump to catch up. http://apne.ws/qoyS8Wd 
In Wisconsin, @AP called the race for Biden after election officials there said all outstanding ballots had been counted, except for a few hundred in one township and a small number of provisional ballots around the state.  http://apne.ws/AWC6Ptp 
In Michigan, @AP called the race for Biden. Biden had a 70,000-vote lead on Wednesday evening and the ballots that remained to be counted were from overwhelmingly Democratic areas.
