The Making of the President 2020: Too Close to Call?

As of 11:00 a.m. EST/8:00 a.m. PST, this is the state of the race for President of the United States. On the map above, the states in dark blue or red have been called by one or more major networks for the respective candidate, even though all of the votes from that state have not been counted. In the states that are a lighter color, no winner has been declared. The three major states of contention, all formerly part of the "big blue wall", are:

Pennsylvania: Trump 3,018,569 (54.2%) Biden 2,475.795 (44.4%) with an estimated 78% of the votes counted
Michigan: Biden 2,518.571 (49.3%) Trump 2,509,131 (49.1%) with an estimated 90% of the votes counted
Wisconsin: Biden 1,630, 337 (49.4%) Trump 1,609,640 (48.8%) with an estimated 97% of the votes counted

The following states are still close, though conceded by some networks to the candidate in the lead:

Nevada: Biden 588,252 (49.3%) Trump 580,603 (48.7%) with an estimated 86% of the votes counted
Arizona: Biden 1,410,877 (51.0%) Trump 1,317,468 (47.6%) with an estimated 86% of the votes counted
Georgia: Trump 2,384,312 (50.5%) Biden 2,280,607 (48.3%) with an estimated 92% of the votes counted
North Carolina: Trump 2,732,120 (50.1%) Biden 2,655,383 (48.6%) with an estimated 95% of the votes counted

The current result is a far cry from what may pollsters had predicted, causing one to wonder about the accuracy of polling data, especially in the three main battleground states. This election is destined to become the closest since George W. Bush's victory over Al Gore in 2000, and will certainly not be decided without some sort of further court challenges.

It is also significant that it appears as if the Republican Party is destined to hold its lead in the Senate, and the Democratic Party will certainly maintain control of the House of Representatives.
