Called for Democrat John hickenlooper. Republican, former head football coach of auburn flipped alabama. Republican erst won in iowa. Graham won in South Carolina and Mitch Mcconnell won in kentucky. Several seats, though, still need to be decided before the night is out. Meantime, democrats are expected to keep control of the house and possibly add to their advantage but there are still dozens of races left to be decided tonight. Our political reporter greg lee has been watching all of this for us tonight. Greg what is happening in those crucial states. It is clear it will come down to the swing states. Likely to be very close. It will take time to count all of those ballots. Much of the attention like we talked about. President trump flip inside 2016. The socalled blue wall he broke through. Michigan so far, 65 reporting. President trump leading 54 to 5 . They received a historic number of absentee ballots. Election officials have said it could take days to count. In wisconsin we go. Election officials said in many counties ballot numbers will not be reported until they are all counted. 95 reporting, President Trump reporting with a 4 lead over joe biden. 5147. Pennsylvania a critical 20 electoral holding it. President Trump Holding the lead. That count could also take several days. One state that remains close and perhaps surprisingly. Georgia 93 reporting. President trump a slim 3 lead with numerous absentee ballots to count. Now, so far, fox news called arizona for joe biden, 71 reporting biden leading 5246. The last time the state voted for a democrat was in 1996. That was bill clinton. And, in one of the major prizes of the night. Florida, fox news calling this one for President Trump. You see it there, 100 reporting mr. Trump leading 51 to 48 . This was essentially a must win for the president and he delivered. Lets go now to ktvu now for more reaction on the president ial race so far. A really close one here. Reporter certainly is. Late in the night President Trump sending out a tweet saying he is going to talk. We are waiting for him to speak. It be any minute now. Joe biden gave a speech at a drivein rally. He had an optimistic tone. We are going to have to be patient until the hard work of tallying the votes is finished. It aint over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted. But we are feeling good. We are feeling good about where we are. You can hear the horns honking at the drivein rally. He told his supporters to have hope and faith. Meantime we talked with a surrogate for the Trump Campaign tonight. They are feeling good. The president has successfully expanded our partys reach beyond the traditional republican base. A large number of votes from independents and democrats just like Ronald Reagan did. Most critically in states like florida and some others he is significantly expanded our reach in minority communities. President trump visited his Campaign Headquarters in virginia earlier today to thank supporters and tonight he is hosting an Election Party at the white house. Again, he says he is going to be making a statement tonight but we have been hearing from both campaigns, greg, they want to make sure that every vote is counted, that certainly will not happen tonight. They are urging their supporters to remain patient. Strap in, could be a long way to go. Thank you very much. Lets bring in brian now, sort of a Holding Pattern right now. It looks like it will drag on through the night and possibly over the next couple of days could it all come down to the absentee ballots . Enough to close the gap for joe biden in places like wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania . It is very likely, the mail in ballots will make the difference for joe biden. And, over the next two, three, four days it could take that long for us to become more clear about who is going to win this thing. But, the fear is frankly that it comes down to one state. It may come down to pennsylvania and then we have a repeat of 2000 gore v bush. Then we look at the phrap viewers are looking at now. If wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania and North Carolina and georgia go in the president s direction i expect nevada to go to biden, you know, you have a real dilemma on your hands and pennsylvania being one that, i think, could be the one that is really tied up in litigation. Right now there are seven states that still need to be called. President trump is leading in six of those seven states. I know that with mail in ballots those tend to favor democrats but when you look at some of the numbers in wisconsin, biden down by 100,000 votes and in michigan he is down by 300,000 and in pennsylvania he is down by 600,000 votes. Is it feasible even though biden is leading right now in the Electoral College is it feasible they can make up the gaps in they are big gaps. They are big gaps but you dont know where the votes are coming from. If they come from large urban areas, that is going to go blue, democrat, if it is coming from the rural areas they will be republican votes. We dont know yet. And, the one number that really has gotten my attention tonight is pennsylvania. The disparity there is huge. Some of those other states thank you are talking about georgia, North Carolina, these are razor thin. And, mail in ballots and the full county of everything with possibly make a difference in those states. Heck, the republicans are still contending that arizona is not a done deal. I want to ask you about georgia and perhaps there is some surprise that it is close as it is in atlanta and they still have absentee ballots to count that many believe it could turn are you surprise today is that close in georgia . Yes. Absolutely i think georgia was a place that republicans felt was pretty safe for the president. But, georgia like arizona, like a number of other states are seeing a surge of democratic voters and we will see if the president can hang on to georgia, greg . Still, a lot to be sorted out and we are going to be watching well into the night or the next couple of days. Brian, thanks for your analysis, appreciate it. Thanks for your time. My pleasure, julie. Now we head to sudden San Francisco where all activities were moved outside. Amber lee was there, there was a descent crowd on hand tonight . Reporter there was, it wrapped up at 10 00. The Outdoor Party was held here. 200 people attended. People showed their enthusiasm at being able to gather with other likeminded folks on Election Night during the pandemic. This Outdoor Watch Party turned into a dance party for democrats supporting former Vice President joe biden. They came to watch the Election Results at the gathering hosted by mannys cafe. People are optimistic they are not celebrating at this point. I think people are just excited to be here. I think people are spreading positive energy. Manny is doing a great job of lifting peoples spirits. And i think that it is still early to tell. We definitely have to wait and see where all of the votes are counted. Not just from today but the mail in ones and the absentee ones and once they are all counted and however many days hopefully we will have a biden blue victory. We all thought Hillary Clinton was going to win and then she didnt. I am, i am approaching it a little more cautiously and thoughtfully. Reporter people were in an upbeat mood but they are not breathing a sigh of relief until Election Results are in from around the country. Julie, frank . Amber, thank you. Republicans organization gathered at a downtown rest truant cheer on their candidates and watch the result comes in. Organizers say they have 100 people at a sold out event they had to be turned away because of space and covid19 restrictions. The chair of the organization told us earlier this evening they were keeping a close watch on proposition 15. That is the measure that could hike the taxes on commercial prices that can fund local governments and schools. Small businesses have been devastated by the coronavirus and, you know, raising office rent and commercial rent dramatically that is what is going to happen. The chair told us that they want proposition 22 to pass that measure classifies app based drivers as independent contractors and not employees. Right now, President Trump is preparing to speak from the white house and we will bring it to you when it begins. At the moment the president has 213 electoral votes, joe biden 238. You need 270 to win. We are monitoring this and as soon as the president begins speaking we will carry that for you live. You can find results for a number of races at the bottom of your screen.

Again, more live pictures where at the white house we are expecting President Trump to speak about the election today. Earlier he tweeted out he is expecting a big win. At the moment he is behind joe biden in the Electoral College votes 238213. There are still seven states that need to be called. President trump currently is leading in six of those states but again, we need to caution you here there are a lot of votes that still need to be counted. We will continue to follow this to monitor this and as soon as President Trump does begin speaking we will carry it live. Here at home, ballot counting is in full swing. We are at the Registrars Office in martinez, we are live there, deb, how is it going . Reporter julie, the elections offices here expects to pack it in and turn the lights off within the halfhour now that they have all of the inperson ballots from today counted. They have been arriving in these little red pouches. Not the paper ballots but memory cards containing the results from each polling place and there were 153 of them. Near and far from martinez which is election central. Those cards are uploaded and added to the results already in. About half the county vote is already tabulated that is about 300,000 ballots because of the running start from early voting and widespread drop boxes. Covid19 certainly changed the game. Only 40,000 people voted in person in contra costa. Normally it is four times that. Some drop boxes were taking in 20,000 ballots a day. It is just coming to us in a different form on a different time line and i am sure that it mirrors what is going on across the state and bay area. Everybody is having to adjust because all of our plans and time lines are based on what we have always done and now we are getting a new wrinkle where we are getting so much more so much earlier that it we have to make adjustments. Reporter once the vote is in they will start again in the morning scanning latearriving ballots, absentee and drop off. They dont know exactly how many more they have left but they should know about noon where they stand and this is an accelerated pace never before seen in this county or others like so many parts of the bay area, contra costa expects to set a turnout record in the neighborhood of 85 turnout or higher. It looks like they are being efficient and things are going well. Debra, thank you. We are still waiting on the president. In the meantime the most expensive proposition race in california history prop 22. Creates an exemption to the state law as independent contractors right now you see the results so far. 58 yes, 42 no. We near touch with both sides that are closely following this and joining us live. More results coming in. I just got an email from the yes on 22 campaign. They are calling it a win. 220 million. A ton of Television Ads to give prop 22 passed. Californians want Ride Sharing Companies uber, lyft and doordash to keep them as independent contractors and not reclassify them as employees. If patsed prop 22 would make the companies e. If passed prop 22 would make them exempt and make them employees and health insurance. Drivers should have basic protections. Reaction tonight from two lyft drivers. One for, one against on the early results. We need drivers to remain independent so we have flexible hours. We will wait for every vote to count. The race is close. We will continue to organize no matter what the outcome is. They are getting stronger through the campaign and we will continue to organize. Prop 22 failed. Workers jobs would be cut and fares would be increased. The companies tell me they are waiting to comment until a final call is made. This proposition requires a simple majority to pass. Greg . 65 of the vote in, we will continue to watch this closely over the coming days, thank you. In a tkoeugz prop 22 there in addition to proposition 22, proposition 19, dealing with property taxes it would allow homeowners who are over 55, disabled or victims of natural disasters to transfer part of their Property Tax Base with them when they sell their home and buy a new one. There are also tax restrictions for those who receive family properties. A lot of the money from the measure would fund wildfire agencies. Prop 21 would allow cities and counties to put rent control policies in place for Certain Residential Properties over 15 years old and now also President Trump is expected to speak and moment as we have been telling you. Live pictures here from the white house. He tweeted out earlier saying he expects a big win. He should be coming out again we keep hearing it. It will be any moment if it happens during the newscast we will carry it live 100 beef and hearty chili. Try my 5. 99 chili cheeseburger combo. Its pretty delicious. Right now we take you to the white house and trump talking about the election today. Thank you. I appreciate it very much. I want to thank the American People for their support. Millions and millions of people voted for us tonight. And a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people. We wont stand for it. We wont stand for it. I want to thank the first lady and Vice President pence and his wife, we were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything and all of a sudden it was just called off. The results tonight have been phenomenal. And we are getting ready, i mean, light rally we were all set to get outside and celebrate something that was so beautiful. So good. Such a vote. Such a success. The citizens of this country have come out in record numbers. This is a record. Never been anything like it. To support our incredible movement. We won states we were not expected to win. Florida we did not win it we won it by a lot. We won the great state of ohio. We won texas. We won texas. By 700,000 votes they dont even include it in the tabulations and it is clear we won georgia. We are up by 2. 5 or 117,000 votes with only 7 left. Never going to catch us. They can not catch us. Likewise, we clearly won North Carolina. We are up 1. 4 . We are 77,000 votes with only approximately 5 left. They can not catch us. If you look and you see arizona we have a lot of life in that. And somebody said, somebody declared that it was a victory maybe it will be t is possible. But certainly there were a lot of votes out there that we could get because the numbers are just coming into trump territory i dont know what you call it. Friendly trump voters. That could be overturned. The gentleman that called it. Heed we think it is fairly unlike y said we think it is fairly unlikely he can catch it. Fairly unlikely and we dont need it. That was just that was just a state if we would of gotten it would have been nice, arizona. There is a possibility. Maybe a good possibility. Since i saw it originally it has changed and the numbers have come down just in a small amount of votes. So, we want that obviously to stay in play. But, most importantly we are winning pennsylvania we are up 600. Think of this, think of this. We are up 690,000 votes in pennsylvania. These are not close. It is not like oh, it is close. With 64 of the vote in, it is going to be almost impossible to catch. We are coming into good pennsylvania areas where they happen to like your president. So probably expand that. We are winning michigan. I will tell you, i looked at the numbers. I looked. Id, wow. That is a lot. More than 300,000 votes. 75 of the vote is in. We are winning wisconsin. We dont need all of them. We need when you add in texas that was not added. I spoke to the really wonderful governor of texas a little while ago, greg abbott, he called me to congratulate me on winning texas. I dont think they finished the tabulation. He said what is going on . I never seen anything like this. Can i tell you what . Nobody has. We won by 171,000 votes. 81 of the vote, michigan. When you take those three states in particular. You take all of the others we have we have so many. We have such a big night. Looking at all of the states that we won tonight and take a look at the margins we won them by. It is not like we are up 12 votes and we are 60 left. All of a sudden, what happened to the election . It is off. We have all of these announcers saying what happened and then they said oh, because you know what happened . They knew they could not win so they said lets go to court and did i predict this . Did i say this . I have been saying this from the day i heard they were going to send out tens of millions of ballots. I said exactly they were either going to win or if they did not win they will take us to court. Florida was a tremendous victory. 377,000. Texas as we said. Ohio, think of this. Ohio tremendous day, a big state. I love ohio. We won by 8. 1 . Almost 500,000 votes. Northcarolina big victory with North Carolina. And, so we won there, we lead by 76,000 votes with almost nothing left. And all of a sudden everything stopped. This is a fraud on the american public. This is an embar atsment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly we did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of our nation it is a big moment. This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we will be going to the u. S. Supreme court. We want all voting to stop. We dont want them to find and ballots at 4 00 in the morning and add them to the list, okay. It is a very sad moment. To me a very sad moment. We will win this. As far as i am concerned we already have won it. I just want to thank you. And i want to thank all of our support, i want to thank all of the people that worked with us and mr. Vice president say a few words, please. Thank you mr. President i want to join you in thanking more than 60 million americans who have already cast their vote for four more years for President Donald Trump in the white house. You have been listening to President Trump speak from the white house addressing supporters and thanking the millions and millions of americans who voted for him. Saying he was getting ready for a big celebration tauting the states he won and talking about other states such as wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania where they have big leads. Lets go
