Hi. I made a Top Ten list #thread for you guys about where things stand now (10p on Wednesday). Please note, they’re not opinions, not predictions, not feels. Just a straight-ahead, decluttered list of facts as we ride this roller coaster together. See you at 11p...

@WBTV_News
1) We could have a President get to the winning 270 electoral votes by tonight. Georgia supposedly announcing 12a-3am. Or, could be a few more days. Ballot counters are working hard at opening up envelopes and going through absentee ballots as you read this.
2) @CBSNews has @JoeBiden at 253 electoral votes, and @realDonaldTrump at 213. ( @FoxNews and @AP actually have Biden with more because they both called Arizona for him… but I’m going with CBS News numbers as you read through rest of this.)
3) It’s down to six states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Alaska, Arizona, & North Carolina.
4) We heard from @JoeBiden around 4pm. He emphasized how every vote matters. The White House announced @realDonaldTrump will not be speaking tonight in televised fashion. Both have been on Twitter today.
5) Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump's campaign manager announced they were suing three different states—Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—for their vote-counting procedures. If you want more background on this litigation, GO HERE >> https://tinyurl.com/WBTVTrumpSues .
6) Also today, @realDonaldTrump's team asked for a recount of Wisconsin. Out of over 3-million votes, close to 21,000 votes separate the two candidates.
7) Record number of ballots cast this year. It's leading @JoeBiden to have the most votes in a US presidential election, ever. @realDonaldTrump is on track to receive second most. Biden has over 71.1-mill; Trump has 68.2-mill. (Previous record was Obama in 2008, with 69.4-mill.)
8) In other big national races for Congress, there are still some undeclared Senate toss-ups (NC still not officially called, though Thom Tillis claimed victory)... but overall Republican incumbents had a good night. Most fended off their challengers.
9) Democrats held onto the House of Representatives.
10) @CBSNews announced late tonight it's pre-empting programming and is on right now, live, with a special election coverage report from 10p to 11p. @WBTV_News at 11p will follow immediately after.

See you then.
