US election 2020: Biden's lead in Nevada grows, shrinks in Arizona

The lead of Biden continues to grow at Nevada while it shrinks at Arizona, reports BBC.

According to the latest numbers just released, Biden is holding his lead over Trump by around 22,000 votes in Nevada.

An estimated 91% of votes have been counted so far, and around 76% of the total vote is expected to have been via mail-in ballots.

Nevada is one of a handful of states that chose to send mail-in ballots (also known as absentees) to every registered voter in the state.

On the other hand, Biden's margin over Trump in Arizona has shrunk since yesterday.

He is now leading Trump in the battleground state by 43,570 votes, the BBC projects, which is down from his previous margin of 47,000 votes over Trump.

Maricopa County, the state's largest county which is still counting votes, has just reported that nearly two million votes were cast there, representing almost 75% of the county's residents.

Maricopa reports that they still have around 142,000 ballots left to count.

Other news organisations have already projected a win in Arizona for Biden, but the BBC considers it still too early to project.
