| Okay, listen. We realize that we've been saying this all week. Like, we know. We're sorry. But today is shaping up to be the day we finally find out who won this thing. For reals this time. |
| Don't be mad. We thought it would be called yesterday too. But here's why we think today could bring us a step closer to closure. |
Friday, ya'll. Friday. |
| No states were called Thursday in the presidential election, but Friday may well be the day the election ends when most of the remaining battleground states hit the home stretch in counting and even call some races. |
| Biden begins the day with 264 Electoral College votes to Trump's 214. That means Biden needs to win one of the four remaining battleground states. All of them are expected to make significant progress or finish counting outright. |
| One of those critical states is Georgia, where Democratic nominee Joe Biden is in a position take the lead as voting continues Friday morning. Biden trailed President Donald Trump by less than 700 votes as of 3 am EDT in the traditionally red state. There are still thousands of ballots being counted. |

| In Pennsylvania, major counties such as Philadelphia have been counting through the night, and the president's lead there is also narrowing. |
| Biden gained ground due to an onslaught of mail-in ballots from Democratic-leaning counties. |
Arizona and Nevada finishing up |
| Voters can also expect updated results Thursday morning from Arizona, where Trump has been narrowing Biden's lead, and Nevada, where Biden leads by around 11,500 votes. |
| An estimated 190,150 ballots that remain uncounted in Nevada on Thursday, according to the Reno Gazette Journal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network. |
| State elections officials announced nearly two-thirds of that total were either returned by mail or dropped off in-person on Election Day. The remaining 66,596 votes were cast by same-day registrants either in-person on Tuesday or during the state's two-week early voting period. |
| Some 90 percent of the outstanding ballots are in Clark County, a Southern Nevada stronghold for Democrats where the party built up a daunting 89,000-voter edge over Republicans in early voting turnout. |
