How Biden could end 2020 on election night ? and why Trump?s path is unlikely

The president likely cannot win another term in the White House without waiting days to find out, though Trump has hinted that he could try to claim he won on election night based on vote counts that won't yet include many mail ballots, which more Democrats are planning to use this year.Biden is currently leading in swing state polls, putting him on course to win the Electoral College once ballots are fully counted, regardless of what happens on election night. “Ohio — because it counts first, announces first — it eliminates that opportunity for Trump to do that.”A victory in Ohio, he said, could make Trump’s efforts in other states “irrelevant.”If Biden loses Florida, or if the results there are too close to call, it will be very difficult for him to get to 270 electoral votes on election night. “We’re just making those investments based on what we believe are the six states that are most likely to lead us to 270.”Even if Trump is holding onto the electoral votes that went his way in 2016 and gets election night race calls from exit polls and the states expected to count votes quickly, the results would still be likely to leave him shy of an Electoral College majority when he goes to sleep that night.This map leaves the three crucial Great Lakes states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania remaining uncalled on Nov. 3 because of how long it is expected to take to count a wave of mail-in ballots.
