WNU Editor: 900,000 votes in play?!?!? Joe Biden currently leads President Trump in Arizona by 100,000 votes. According to the Governor .... About half are Maricopa. W/ every update, they say it's breaking significantly toward Trump 2-1. Maricopa voted President Trump in 2016. Last night Biden won the country.Just spoke to AZ Governor Doug Ducey's office. There are at least 900,000 votes outstanding that haven't been counted. About half are Maricopa. W/ every update, they say it's breaking significantly toward Trump 2-1.

Doesn't mean a Trump win, but that's still a lot of uncounted
Update: Oh Oh. Only GOP precincts?
Update #2: This looks like it is going to the courts.
AZ update: apparently the use of sharpie pens in gop precincts is causing ballots to be invalidated. Could be huge numbers of mostly Trump supporters. More to come

AZ early am update. Maricopa County overnight was a pickup of ~50,000 votes for Trump. Biden lead is now ~90k with ~520k ballots out there. A 60-40 Trump split of those ballots would put Trump ahead by ~10k. Trump has been winning the count 60-40 or better since late last night. pic.twitter.com/ETEUAom9Ie

The Fox News Decision Desk seemed to be quick on the draw to "call it" when Biden was leading but seemed very circumspect when Trump was leading. This doesn't in and of itself mean bias but the optics didn't look good.
I thought they might be jumping the gun on this one. Team Trump as well as the governor's office were urging caution. While it doesn't always hold true, I've learned where abd when there's a dispute between team Trump and the media as the starting point, go with team Trump. It'll yield the right answer the vast majority of the time.
Sharpies huh? Wow, you guys are desperate.
The numbers are apparently estimates. Wait for certification before crying fraud.
Wisconsin has never had a statewide system for reporting unofficial results on Election Night, and there is no central official website where results will be reported, Wolfe said. “Most of the unofficial results the public sees on Election Night and in the following days come from the Associated Press newswire service.” For many decades, the AP has collected unofficial results from county clerks’ offices and distributed totals to its member newspapers and radio and TV stations. In recent years, other news organizations have also begun collecting and reporting unofficial Wisconsin results. Election night declarations of victory are based on predictions and incomplete results. Winners are not official until the results are certified, which by Wisconsin state law happens on December 1.
