And President Trump 48 of the vote with 68 million american vot votes. Now what really counts is electoral counts. 270 magic number at 264. President trump having locked in 214 electoral votes. It is coming down to razor thin margins more than anyone expected if you watch the polls. Liz kreutz has a look at the current state of the race and the discrepancies we saw in polling. Liz . We did. Many of us expected this race to be close but not this close and depending on some results that were expected to get in the next few hours, 12 hours from arizona and nevada. There is a chance biden wins the white house by reaching 270 on the dot. But as we know, its not over until its over and the president is not going to go down without a fight. After a roller coaster 24 hours, the path to 270 are starting to come into clearer picture. Today abc news saying former Vice President joe biden is the apparent winner to win michigan. It a big victory for the biden camp but it not over yet. Were seeing something that actually looks and feels unbelievable, but its also predictable and in fact, the largest probability of 50 probability going into this election is the that race would come down to pennsylvania, wisconsin or michigan. Reporter in pennsylvania, the president is currently in the lead, but millions of mail in and absentee ballots are still being counted. Still, the Trump Campaign is already ready for a fight. Theyve called for michigan and pennsylvania to halt counting and the president falsely asserted election say saying democrats are trying to steal the election. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest any of that is true. Reporter in wilmington today, biden held his ground. We the people will not surrend surrenderer. Im confident well emerge victorious. Reporter biden does appear to have won back at least part of the blue wall trump flipped four years ago, the poll suggested the lead would be wider. The most recent abc News Washington post poll had biden winning by 17 points in wisconsin. Theyre currently tied at 49 , biden ahead by 20,000 votes. Pollsters have claimed they made changes since 2016 but for many, this feels like deja vu and theyre now asking if we can ever trust the polls. I honestly cant blame them. Reporter San Francisco state Political Science professor says it appears the polls this year just didnt capture the full electret. We were missing minority voters, rural voters, young voters, more importantly, new voters. Reporter and now we have not seen the president since his address to the nation overnight and dont expect to see him later tonight. That said, as we all know, he has been actively tweeting. Twitter flagged a hand full of his tweets today for misinformation. Kristen and larry . All right. Thank you. Lets go to the Battle Ground state of pennsylvania now where abc 7 news anchor dion lim is following the campaign and dion, i know i was watching your twitter feed. There was a press conference that was supposed to happen that im not sure happened and nobody seems to know what is going on at this point, do they . Reporter you hit the nail on the head. Confusion is certainly the word. Here in pennsylvania, the race is just too close to count. And we have seen protests across the city of philadelphia today. Elections officials are promising a fair count while President Trump and his campaign and his supporters are crying foul. Speaking with the same confidence we saw on Election Night at his watch party in wilmington, joe biden maintained confidence in the voting process the day after. Its clear that were winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Im not here to declare that weve won, but i am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners. Reporter as philadelphia Elections Officials creep closer to counting returned ballots. Our in person vote totals have also increased as we are at 97 . Reporter a promise of transparency. You can see a group of observers from the campaigns standing a close but also safe distance from where all the activity is. Reporter after the Trump Campaign filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the count of mail in ballots in wisconsin and eric trump falsely declaring a vic r victory for his father on twitter. His press conference in philadelphia. Im confused why there is a lack of transparency. Reporter abruptly rescheduled. Demonstrators calling for a fair electi election flooding the streets. There is nothing illegal going on. Voter suppression happens like this with seizing the counting of legitimate votes. Reporter and held a rally of their own. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Reporter in a state where 20 electoral votes are up for grabs where trump won by less than 1 in 2016. Biden doubling down on the fairness. We the people will not be silenced. We the people will not be bullied. We the people will not srrenderer. Reporter an eventful day in pennsylvania indeed. Now, we should point out that in this case, pennsylvania may not be done with their count for at least another day or so. If biden wins arizona and nevada, that would put him exactly at 270 electoral votes, meaning whatever happens in pennsylvania becomes moot. In philadelphia tonight, im dion lim, abc 7 news. All right. Dion, well see. Here is the latest on the balance of power in the senate. Republicans hold the lead with 48 seats now to democrats 44. 51 seats are needed for control of the senate. Democrats spent six years in the senate minority. They were hoping to get it back. Doesnt look like it going that way. In the house, democrats right now are holding on to control. They have 208 seats losing three to republicans who have 197. 218 are needed for a party to claim a majority. Abc news projects democrats will maintain control in the house. Voter turnout was expected to be high in this unusual election year, and it certainly was but how high when you compare it to past priest terrible electi president ial elections . Leslie brinkley looked into that question today and joins us live in contra costa county. Leslie . Reporter hi, there. There was a really big drive out here in the east bay to register more voters. They succeeded 100,000 more on the roster than four years ago. Were here at basically election headquarters now. This is a warehouse in martinez where they are tabulating the vote. Up on a shelf behind me, youll see boxes shrink wrapped. Those are votes that have already been counted but for turnout numbers, its not just the number of people who voted, you have to look at the percent of voters who actually voted.

On this white board, tallies of the ballots collected from drop boxes across contra costa county, over 365,000 voters already have had their votes counted. Right now, we still have about 180,000 ballots thats an estimate in house to process. I use the apology of a fire hose. Were going to be slamming them as fast as we can. But then after friday, theyre really going to dry up, the supply is going to turn into a trickle. Reporter so far, turnout looks less than historic. In 2008, we had our highest turnout ever in a president ial election. It was 86. 7 and all indications were that we were going to be able to hit that same target. In 2016, we had a 79 reporter there was a stsunai of early ballots. A quarter of what they thought. Turnout is now projected to be on par with 2016. We have to wait until november 20th for vote by mail ballots that have been mailed by election day. Reporter so by this friday, its expected Officials Say theyll have 99 of the ballots tabulated here in martinez, but if you want that final, final count, the 100 of every single vote counted that wont be as you heard until november 20th.
