Biden edges ahead in Wisconsin as vote count continues

In Wisconsin, Biden took a small lead around 4:30 am New York time, as several metropolitan areas submitted their absentee ballot counts.

As expected, the Democrat took a large haul from Milwaukee, the state’s biggest city -- crucial to potentially overcoming Trump’s strength in smaller towns and rural areas. An influx of nearly 170,000 absentee votes from the city of Milwaukee erased the solid lead from in-person voting that Trump had maintained since the polls closed at 8 pm.

The president, who carried Wisconsin by 0.8 percentage points in 2016, trailed Biden in by 0.3 percentage points in the latest figures with some precincts still outstanding.

Biden camp: Trump bid to stop vote counting 'outrageous'

Joe Biden's White House campaign slammed President Donald Trump's threat to try to stop the election vote count as "outrageous" early Wednesday, saying its legal team was ready to prevent such an "unprecedented" act.

"The president's statement tonight about trying to shut down the counting of duly cast ballots was outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect," Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said in a statement as the election remained undecided.

"Never before in our history has a president of the United States sought to strip Americans of their voice in a national election."

The comments came shortly after Trump delivered an extraordinary speech from the White House, in which he claimed that "we did win this election" despite neither candidate reaching the electoral vote threshold for victory.

The US presidential election remained disrupted Wednesday morning as key states kept checking polling forms. Following a moderately untroubled day at US polling places, uncommon quantities of right on time and mail-in votes confounded tallies



the nation over. By early Wednesday morning, both President Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Joe Biden held expected ways to triumph. 

Voting form including proceeds in important milestone states, including Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, as the administration and control of the US Senate stay available to all on the morning after the US election. 

Quickly before 3 am New York time, Biden won Arizona, denoting the Democratic chosen one's first triumph in a state Trump won in 2016. He additionally got what could be a urgent single balloter in Nebraska's Second Congressional District. Be that as it may, with his own triumphs in Texas and Florida, Trump had a suitable way to triumph too – setting up high stakes in what could turn into a drawn out goal in the excess states. 

Pennsylvania sees 1 million votes yet uncounted

Pennsylvania has more than 1 million votes left to count, its Democratic governor, Tom Wolf, said in a Twitter posting early Wednesday.

“I promised Pennsylvanians that we would count every vote and that’s what we’re going to do," Wolf said on Twitter. His tweet came after Trump falsely declared victory and complained of “a fraud on the American public" in ongoing vote-counting.

“Let’s be clear: This is a partisan attack on Pennsylvania’s elections, our votes, and democracy," Wolf said in another Twitter post. -- John Voskuhl

Biden campaign willing to fight Trump in court

Democrat Joe Biden's campaign says it will fight any efforts by President Donald Trump's campaign to go to the US Supreme Court to prevent ballots from being tabulated.

Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon called Trump's statement that he will “be going to the US Supreme Court" and that he wants “all voting to stop" “outrageous, unprecedented and incorrect."

O'Malley Dillon says the Biden campaign has “legal teams standing by ready to deploy to resist that effort." And she says, “They will prevail."
