US Election 2020 Results LIVE Updates | Reports say Democrats will win Nevada as Joe Biden widens lead
Some news coming out of Nevada, where Joe Biden has widened his lead, according to Jon Ralston, editor of the Nevada Independent. He says he sees "no path left for Trump here".
What is significant is that with The Associated Press calling Arizona for Biden and his Electoral Votes now at 264, Nevada could help him reach 270--- the magic number. What is of note here is that Arizona remains too close to call and networks such as CNN have not called the state for Biden yet.
Trump narrowly lost Nevada in 2016 as the state has trended toward the Democrats in the past decade. The last Republican presidential contender to win the state was George W. Bush in 2004.

US Election 2020 Results LIVE Updates | Facebook removes pro-Trump group for false election claims and some members calling for violence
Facebook has taken down a rapidly growing group where supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump posted misinformation, violent rhetoric and organized protests against the baseless claim that Democrats were stealing the election. The group had ballooned to more than 365,000 members in one day.
"In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the Group 'Stop the Steal,' which was creating real-world events," said a Facebook spokeswoman said in a statement.
"The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from some members of the group."
The "Stop the Steal" group, which called for "boots on the ground to protect the integrity of the vote," had prepared for Facebook to take action, directing new members to an email sign-up page "in the event that social media censors this group." (Reuters)

US Elections 2020 Results LIVE Updates | Here is a look at the situation in the key states that are still up for grabs, and paths to victory for each candidate:
Nevada: Joe Biden is leading here and the state could put him precisely at the number needed to win, if he keeps Arizona. With more than 87 percent of the vote counted, Biden was leading by about 12,000 votes, according to CNN.
North Carolina: In North Carolina, Trump had a comfortable lead of about 77,000 votes with 95 percent of the ballots, about 5.38 million, tabulated.
Georgia: In Georgia just after midday, Biden lagged Trump by just over 13,500 votes with about 98 percent counted. But he could pull in the lion's share of the final votes being counted, which include thousands in Democratic-leaning areas.
Pennsylvania: The state is the biggest prize remaining, with 20 electoral votes. As in Georgia, Trump is currently leading, but the majority of votes left to be counted are in Democratic-leaning areas like greater Philadelphia.
Arizona: One wild card that could upset these calculations: Arizona. Fox News and the Associated Press have already called the race in Biden's favor, but other networks including CNN and NBC have said the race is still too close to call.
