Presidential election results 2020

Nebraska and Maine are the only two states that apportion some of their electoral votes based on how each congressional district votes. That means that while four of Nebraska's five electoral votes heavily favor the GOP, one of them — awarded to the presidential candidate that wins the Omaha-based 2nd District — is in play. (So is Maine's 2nd district, which is more competitive than the Democratic-leaning state overall.) 

Both the Biden and Trump campaigns have closely watched the two districts, knowing that there are potential outcomes to the race that could leave the candidates nearly tied, struggling to cross the 270 electoral vote threshold. 

The Omaha-based district is the sort of suburban territory that has shifted rapidly in Democrats' favor during Trump's presidency. Republican Don Bacon won a hotly contested congressional race there in 2018 by 2 percentage points, but that was against a challenger more progressive than Democrats nominated in most close races in midterm elections.

Joe Biden will deliver remarks in Wilmington at 12:30 a.m. ET, the campaign tells reporters.

No voting results can be posted in Nevada until all polling locations have closed, says Jennifer Russell, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Secretary of State's office.

Russell tells CNN that 13 out of 17 counties are completely done being counted and the plan is for the state to begin posting results around 12:30 a.m. ET.

Those results will include early voting, Election Day voting in the smaller counties and whatever mail ballots they have at the time. Russell says Clark County results will take longer. 

Per a court order late this afternoon,Clark County, home to nearly 70% of active voters in the state, extended voting at 30 of its 125 locations by one hour until 8 p.m. PT, thought voters in line at closing would still be allowed to vote as longs as they showed up by the new closing time. Lines here have been steady all day in the county.  

Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria spoke a short time ago, and said most of the issues which lead to late openings were technical, the majority being connectivity issues.

He said keeping the locations open later will not impact results, except to say that they will likely come in later. Gloria cautioned the county is still counting mail-in ballots. Voters could drop them off today at all polling locations.

As long as ballots are post-marked by today and received by Nov. 10, they will be counted in the state.

CNN's John King is at the magic wall:

CNN projects Joe Biden will notch a win in Virginia. In 13 of the 14 presidential elections before 2008, Virginia went for the Republican nominee. But Barack Obama’s arrival coincided with a shift in the commonwealth’s electorate, powered by suburban voters with college degrees.

Not quite liberal, Virginia has become increasingly Democratic – in the 2018 midterms, Reps. Jennifer Wexton, Elaine Luria and Abigail Spanberger all flipped GOP seats as the party reclaimed a House majority – and its moderate politics mirror Biden’s.

Virginia was a state in which Trump appeared to have an early lead, but it dissipated as the returns painted a fuller, bluer picture.

As votes continued to trickle in from across the country late this evening, the presidential race was felt familiar to past elections.

CNN's Jake Tapper said he was unsure if the results so far were most reminiscent of the presidential contest in 2016 when then-candidate Donald Trump outpaced the polls, or 2016 when Democrats congressional victories took days to solidify. 

"I don't know if this feels like 2016 when Donald Trump pulled this huge upset and surprised everybody, or feels like 2018, where Democrats had a really good night, it just took longer than a night," said Tapper. 

CNN's Dana Bash, however, presented a third option, saying the results, so far, feel very much like they belong in the year 2020.��

"It feels like 2020 because...  going into tonight, in most of these battleground states, the candidates were within the margin of error," she said. "That by definition means it is a close race in all of these states and that is what we're seeing play out right now." 

Tapper concurred, adding, "it's a divided country. It's a close election."
