Getty (Designed by Dwilson) Trump and Biden are facing off in the election.
Joe Biden is projected to win Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral college votes, securing him the presidential election, Heavy’s partners at Decision Desk HQ project. Biden took the lead in the race early Friday morning.
In Pennsylvania, polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Election Day, but votes postmarked by Election Day can be counted as long as they are received within three days of the election. In fact, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf appeared in an ad airing on Election Day warning that in order to count the votes accurately, it could take a few days for results to come in, The Hill reported. The ad was funded by The Voter Project, a nonpartisan group that seeks to quell worries about the validity of the election.
Wolf said, in part: “Because of the coronavirus, there were millions of votes cast by mail, so it may take longer than usual to count every vote. … So it may take a little longer than we’re used to, even a few days, but that’s OK, because it’s critical that your vote is counted — and it will be.”

Pennsylvania has been a more contentious state lately. Both candidates have visited the state extensively, but
Trump has lashed out at the Supreme Court for its ruling on Pennsylvania ballots, Politico reported. The Supreme Court ruled that ballots postmarked by Election Day could be counted for an extended three days after the election as long as they were postmarked by election day. Trump tweeted that this was a “dangerous” precedent. Republicans had wanted a stay on a state supreme court decision, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 4-4 not to give that stay.
Kathy Boockvar, secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, said that Trump’s tweet was wrong and voting is secure in the state, Politico reported.
