The 2020 election was held amid the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in more ballots than ever being cast by mail.
Each of the 50 states has its own set of complex election laws — many of which have been taken up in courts across the country as states engage with a wave of mail-in voting for the first time.
Voters nationwide have their eyes fixed on races still being counted in Alaska, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Also being watched is Maine’s 2nd Congressional District because the state does not award Electoral College votes on a winner-take-all basis.

State election officials stopped counting ballots last night, with plans to resume counting Wednesday morning. There is no order to what type of ballot is being counted first.

In Wisconsin, officials are still counting votes and thus not able to indicate a winner.

In Maine 2nd Congressional District, the district is still in play, despite the fact that three of the four electoral votes have already gone to Biden. There is no order to how the state counts its ballots, which means there will not be an advantage to either contestant in terms of how the votes come in.
The state expects to have the final votes counted by Wednesday, after counting resumes in the morning.
