After jotting down the following note, in the morn, now, Georgia (with 16 delegates) is virtually tied up, Biden inching towards ovetaking Trump - with 99% votes counted.

In Arizona (11) Trump is closing the gap.
In Pennsylvania (20), Biden is so doing.

Detailed pictures that are evolving in the remaining 4 battleground states.
As of now, Biden has a clear edge.
However, things are not irreversible, as yet.
It may, even, take another two days for the polling picture to freeze.

This is how the BBC has summed up:
<<The Democrat has a slender lead in Nevada and Arizona and is chipping away at Trump's advantage in Georgia and Pennsylvania
Biden has racked up a record 71.5 million votes and has said he will win enough states to become president
Overall turnout is projected to be the highest in 120 years at 66.9%, and we might not have a result for days.>>

In the meanwhile, Trump's legal attempts to halt vote counting have flopped (in three states).

<<With his re-election chances fading, *President Trump launched an extraordinary assault on the country’s democratic process from the White House, falsely claiming the election was being “stolen” from him* [emphasis added]. Democratic nominee Joe Biden has chipped at Trump's leads in Pennsylvania and Georgia.>>
That's how the Reuters reports.
Just think of India!

Biden has ovetaken Trump in Pennsylvania (20) and Goergia (16).
Continues to lead in Arizona (11) and Nevada (6).

So, apart from a lead by more than 3 million total votes, even in terms of electoral college votes, Biden should win pretty comfortably.
Discounting the legal challenge(s).

But, Trump and the GOP are raising funds for legal battles.
There're also calls for street violence - quite unprecedented in recent American history.
Thus, a serious attempt to "steal" the poll is underway.

Let's see.
