Why the Arizona and Georgia Races Are Essentially Over, but Not Officially Called

President Trump has closed to within around 11,000 votes in Arizona, but there is no longer a realistic path for him to erase the rest of the gap.

There are only around 18,000 votes left to be counted, most of them provisional ballots, and not all of those will ultimately be verified as eligible votes. The late ballots coming in have generally been in his favor, but Mr. Trump would need to win the remaining vote by over a 50-point margin to fight Joe Biden back to a draw.

The challenge for the president became even tougher this afternoon when ballots released from Democratic-leaning Pima County, home of Tucson, were barely in his favor.

Fox News and The Associated Press called the race for Mr. Biden on election night, and Decision Desk HQ made a call Wednesday night after a ballot release from Maricopa County, but Reuters, CNN, NBC News, ABC News and CBS News haven’t weighed in.
