(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)WHY AP CALLED PENNSYLVANIA FOR BIDEN:Four years ago, President Donald Trump breached the Democrats’ “blue wall,” narrowly winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — a trio of Great Lakes states that had long served as a bulwark against Republican presidential candidates. The AP called the race for Biden, who held a 34,243-vote lead, after it determined that the remaining ballots left to be counted would not allow Trump to catch up. An AP analysis concluded Biden’s lead over Trump was on track to stay outside of that margin as final votes are counted. State election officials have not been clear about how many provisional ballots remain to be counted, where they were cast and why they were cast. The analysis led AP to conclude Trump could not gain enough votes from provisional ballots to overcome Biden's margin.
