@AP explains the states that have - and haven't - been called
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.

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).

Here is an explanation for every #APracecall in the presidential election that has already been made. And those that haven't.

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.
President Trump's campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia, laying the groundwork for contesting the vote in those battleground states. http://apne.ws/furzn7H
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.

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.

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.
