Is next on our list with 11 Electoral College votes to joe biden were also looking at new jersey i believe new jersey is our next state with 14 and then one more for the blue column at this stage it is rhode island with 4 so a bunch of blue states there projected for joe biden and a bunch of red states for donald trump 9 in alabama go to donald trump the state of mississippi as well with its 6 is with donald trump as is oklahoma with its 7 we will also look cat 10 a see 11 Electoral College votes will go to donald trump there as well so we can really going to be able to build the board up in a moment as well. We have gone to the district of columbia to bring in and that is to call it the stage actually but again that would be expected blue later on maine is too early to call with its 4 and remember those are not winner take all they would be split between the candidates possibly missouri is another state which is too early to call at this stage with its 10 Electoral College votes as is
Florida, georgia, iowa, michigan, nevada, north carolina, pennsylvania, ohio, texas, and wisconsin. Our Team Coverage begins with our political reporter greg lee, who has been tracking the results.

Arizona certainly one that were waiting to see the results of after polls just closed there. Were watching a number of those swing states, like you said, that could very well determine which direction this goes. A reminder we, it is very early in many of these states. So lets start in the midwest. States President Trump flipped in 2016 that democrats want and need to get a clear path back to the white house. Pennsylvania very, very early. Joe biden leading 72 to 24 . Just 9 reporting. Now we want to go to michigan. A close state in 2016. You can see there 6 reporting. President trump leading 57 to 41 .

All of their mailin ballots, so we are were seeing big tranches of numbers being released. With 50 reported. Look at that. It is a dead heat. For more on the i were importance of florida, we spoke to correspondent joe. They may count their ballots early, early as in terms of our time in the evening. If trump loses florida, its pretty much game over. You know, theres ways to get a win, but it would take a lot of gymnastics. So thats the one to watch.
