Both sides involved in a very hot contest. This morning as we are counting. The ballot said that have already been cast, but the voting is far from done i the countdown thats going to be the herculean feat for a number of states as they try and get these numbers out as. Quickly as they can. But they do have their own legal processes that vary from state to state but yeah interesting and it was 2 different stories last night when we heard President Trump prematurely say that he had one. The battleground states and joe biden saying patients because as we said james, there are still. Our least hundreds of thousands of ballots yet to count. These are not new votes. These are not ballots that have just been found. But they were cast in many cases months ago, yeah, thats right. These were the early polls. Counts the mail in ballots that for some states had to wait until day of ballots were counted before they could then be process which is why its no surprise that for some states were still waiting for the final counts to come in so heres a breakdown of the states that are still up in the air and then a quick little bit about each one we have nevada wisconsin, michigan pennsylvania. North carolina and then we have georgia and the and the thing to note about arizona is that they have basically put a lid on reporting any new information until tomorrow at the moment, weve got joe biden in the lead. You can see here will take that off the screen. Currently leading right now with 49. 2 of the vote hes up about a 1000 votes in nevada and the accounts are still coming in are from the heavily democratic Populated Areas so the anticipation, the expectation is that his numbers will continue to climb well see if he can hold on to that lead when we get that new information from the state of nevada come tomorrow will it be enough to call the race at that point dont know but nevada is one of those states where there could continue to accept mail in votes until saturday. So long as they were postmarked on or before election day wisconsin again heavily democratic areas are still being counted right now currently joe biden has a strong lead there well see if that continues. Michigan was the state that we saw actually turn on us today was leading to are leaning towards President Trump. But in the early hours today, its now leading towards President Biden and a big reason for that is because were starting to see the vote count come in from places like wayne county down near detroit. Thats where a lot of democrats live. Its ahead democratic stronghold from prague vice President Biden now leading with 61. 7 of the vote and you can see 67 is whats counted. They still have many more to count will that be enough to continue extending. Joe bidens lead, one that weve seen change this morning since you went to bed, it looks red because those are the votes that. Were on election day and they were for trump and then and then this morning at turned light blue because now theyre starting to count the other votes and then the other question is does pennsylvania. Do the same thing because currently pennsylvania is like michigan was leaning pink on the map which means leading in favor of President Trump currently leading by about 600,000 votes. The question is are there enough outstanding votes for vice President Biden to close that gap and potentially take the lead. The answer is yes, which is why when nobodys called yet theyre still about a million votes out there that have to be counted how many of them are for vice President Biden and is that enough to overcome the 600,000 vote lead that President Trump currently has thats the question pennsylvania, another one of those states where they say theyll accept mail in ballots for 3 days so up until friday, so long as it was postmarked on or before election day there waiting for it to cycle through the Postal Service land in their office and then theyll and theyre waiting for it be counted. But the president as we said is not waiting he already went on tv. Around midnight and claim victory and we have. A little bit of sound from both camps from joe biden and from donald trump seeing how we should look at these votes as they come in. Lets take a listen. I want to thank the American People for their tremendous support millions and millions of people voted for us to name. A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people and we wont stand for this is a fraud. On the american this is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly we did when last. The integrity. For the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud or nation. We want. A lot to be used in a proper manner. So well be going to the u. S. Supreme court. We want voting to stop. We dont want them to find any ballot said. 4 oclock in the morning and them to the list. Very sad. Very sad moment to me this is a very sad moment and. We will win this and we far as im concerned we already have we feel good about where we are. We believe are on track to win this election. Because of the unprecedented early voting a male and vote. Thats going to take a while. Were going to have to be patient. Until the hard work of tallying votes is finished. You know, virtually every vote is counted. Every ballot is counted. Were feeling good about where we are. Ive said all along. Its not my place or Donald Trumps claire whos won this election. Thats the decision of the American People. But im optimistic about com. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And folks you heard me say before. Every time i walk out of my grandpas house up in scranton due out joey keep the faith and my grandma mushers live youll know joey spread it, keep the faith guys were going to win this. Thank you thank you, thank you. Well besides the president ial race democrats also managed to hold on to the majority of the house. Republicans meanwhile kept control of the senate. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took some time last night to praise her partys job in keeping house in democratic hands she use that power to protect Peoples Health care but she stressed that they still need the presidency to protect the Affordable Care act. Here just to sing the praises about half democrats and that candidates. Its not over until every vote is counted. And there plenty more votes to count again we look forward to coming together an hour. Democratic majority in the congress of the United States. Now while democrats again to patrol the house their majority is likely to be diminished just a bit. But again they maintain control of the house. Were watching the vote count nationally and locally around the bay, the most could impact the outcome of local races and state proposition for more on how things are shaping up on the home front with the kron fours reyna harvey live in Santa Clara County. Good morning. Rhonda. The morning a pretty incredible turnout actually looking at the numbers we had more voters vote in this years election back in 2016 so all the volunteers had quite a lot of those to sift through last night they were actually here until 11 oclock at night and again theyre going to open their doors in less than an hour continue that process were going to be able to get a look inside the last night it was incredibly busy were going to show you right here, this is right out front of the Election Office you can see them dropping off the ballots. Theyve got several carloads we know that they saw about 691,000 mail in ballots. So thats before election day they had their hands full with those and then at the polls 59,000 people voted in person that was throughout the last 4 days throughout Santa Clara County that they were surprised that so many people turned out especially because they sent out so many mail in ballots. They recede. So many. Now this day theyre going to be going to those ballots county man checking signatures making sure everything is correct they got their hands full this is what they had to say about that whole process and how its going to unfold. I think we will have a majority of the vote by mail ballots. Done within about a week or so because typically i have received over a 150,000 on election day long so well have to see if thats going to change for the selection because weve had such high early voting turnout. But it will take us the next several weeks to count vote by mail ballots. Then were going to count our provisional ballot and then conditional Voter Registration about and we do see many audits and one percent manual recount so we do all our checks and balances and we do all that within the 30 days to certify on december 30. Right now Election Officials tell me over the next few days theyre going to be posting those results daily but kron 4 already has those over on our website for you so you can check in with us well keep you updated the next step in this process is going through those ballots that may have some mistakes maybe some incorrect signatures, contacting people several times to let them know whether or not their ballots were rejected so again we could see these numbers changing its going to be a process that theyll start again at 8 oclock here with the recounting the for now reporting on here in san jose urena harvey kron 4 news thanks lot. The easiest way to keep track of all of this stuff is to go to our website is youre saying james early. Clearly laid out where you can look at the president ial race if you want you look at local ballot measures statewide measures you can see exactly what happened in real time this is the races that are decided in that are still being counted is on kron 4 dot com and well have more election coverage throughout the morning in the meantime, lets head over to the Weather Center john trouble. Has what you need to know if you need to get on with your its a step away from it before we do get right back here just a second. But weather is going to be really today and tomorrow but only for 2 more days do we have the sunshine and 70s that weve gotten used to lately were trading that in for much cooler cloud, your weather just around the corner, even a chance of rainfall come the weekend as of right now definitely still a cloudy out across the bay area. You can see that here from your Berkeley Hills cam those low clouds not going anywhere just yet. This afternoon sunshine returns and well see that Sunshine Holding on through tomorrow to for your thursday, then comes friday cooler air sweeping in across the region. First will result in widespread showers in the form of rain and then upper elevation snow across the Northern Tier of the state losing a little bit of steam by the time it reaches the bay area but we could see a few sprinkles on friday, maybe even an isolated thunderstorm. Saturday we drive back out, but stayed just as cool as that cooler air really pushes in across the region sunday, another chance of a couple of light showers and then the rest of the week after that into next week is looking significantly cooler it staying that way for the foreseeable future. That means you got to enjoy todays weather as much as you can weve got 70s across almost all the bay area, some 60s right along the immediate coastline and a couple of 80 sprinkled in like in concord right at 80 degrees today. Heres a look at your next 7 days. Its not just our inland or bayside areas but also our coastal areas that are in for a cool down that will take us into the 50s and 60s starting on friday so today and tomorrow your last taste of that warmer weather before we get to some cooler stuff. James all right. Thank you john 7. 12 is the time well take quick break as we go some results of the measures that were up for vote in Sonoma County well be right back.

Floor and decor, now open in san leandro for safe instore shopping and curbside pickup. Also open in milpitas and burlingame. To say about that this morning, im rob. Our crew. Our area tired but were hows wall street reacting so far. Cwall streets taken and the results pretty well. Were up. Theres still a lot of uncertainty theres still a lot of votes be counted. What i take out of the star you is that the democrats kind got it wrong. Theres no big blue ways its still a very split country, senates looks like its going maintained by the republicans. Because of that one of fact we probably wont get super stimulus either way. Because the senate under mcconnell. Its gonna be a little bit of a nightmare fighting does get elected because theyre going to clash with each other pretty aggressively. So the stimulus if were thinking 2 to 4 trillion were probably thinking one to to try it now so ultimately will that be enough to get outside of our endemic saw smoke. It may not be in our usay use and one to 4 trillion assuming President Biden is in the white house or senate President Trump is in the white house. If you guys are. If trump gets and we need stimulus if biden gets and needs all parties kind of know that but the longer this has legal system challenge joy. Thats going put the stimulus into that deeper into next year. For stimulus we want to kind of figured out sooner than later. So again had biden gotten controlled senate as well as the presidency we would have seen you know infrastructure plan to the tune of 4 trillion dollars probably a lot of money going to soar and renewables now because the country kind of split or say dont like not all that excited either republican or not all that excited democrat. There will be and you remember that after the first 2 years Clinton Congress turned really republican and they have that first 100 days under Newt Gingrich it just rolled legislation it doesnt look likely as we are really much nation what about just over the next few days the longer this goes on and the more uncertainty in lets say. It takes a couple of days. Lets say you refer to legal fights and trump refers to going to Supreme Court. Lets answer t continues in this is kind of like hes going to fight tooth and nail for weeks what does what does that do the stock market. I dont think its going to do a lot is in my world are at wall street look 6 months in future. And again because theres a split senate kind of thing going on with whoever wins. Theres probably not to be a lot of change the tax cut. Wall streets kind of got that we were like ok, lets move on. Again things can change in the next 24 hours and i could you know be eating those words tomorrow. The 10 year treasury note and this is like media economically nerd whats 90 basis points down to about 75 basis points is big drop this morning which basically means wall street se flight to safety but put money in treasuries not in stocks yet its the big tech stocks today doing well. So i think wall street to take this in stride are out there maybe one or 2 funky days. I think 2021 probably needs more stimulus and maybe as we run out of stimulus from last year this year upside. Maybe that leads to recession. Its tough said with the pandemic numbers. I mean desperate get when do we get back to work in california on a legitimate level staff level when we go to movie theaters would wait go to sporting events. I think thats really the story on wall street. Also its take the president ial thing in stride right they have i seen i stayed up last night told sarah some this but i do want to know as far as business goes about over lifting about what you think of that. What you know because they were threatening to pull out of california. Californias decided they can be independent contractors and so they won the battle. What what do you think of that economically and market wise. I would economically and marquise id say by uber left because theyve been living under shadow of last 12 18 months that this could get overturned not them. I think they spend their money very wisely its most expensive proposition evrod state california on some levels that shameful that we could be buying vote. The legislation the proposition starr has written so. It were never get over to you take like 90 States Senate to overturn it i just dont see that happening. Because its too high of a number so i think youre less spend their money wisely. Socially speaking. I think it states that the drivers classified as a place. Business wise i think you buy over and lestock so good which had a bigger moral well and then were almost at a time one quick last question for you going back to the stimulus for you know everyday people that are trying to get through this pandemic with the shutdown. They desperately need it. It was pushed off to after the election. Do you think that theres enough motivation on capitol hill right now to get a stimulus package passed before the end of the year as were approaching the holidays and does that change either way if President Trump or President Biden are expected to take the oath of office on january 20th. I dont think wed be at a selection figured out little later in the week and then youre starting look at the holidays. The expectation on wall street from the strat at this theyre speaking today is that stimulus will calm until the new Congress Sworn in because it kind a Lame Duck Congress in a lot of the members. But again by some site mcconnell is looking at about 500 billion. Before the election. So thats problem with the floor were going to get something in early january. It will get done. Would be eno
