Trump cannot win a second term without Pennsylvania, and if Biden captures its 20 electoral votes he cannot be stopped. Biden would not declare victory when he spoke to the nation late Friday night, but said he was confident in an impending victory. And noting political tensions stirred by the election, Biden said, "We have to remain calm, patient, let the process work out as we count all the votes." The President cannot reach 270 electoral votes without winning both Pennsylvania and Georgia, and at least one of the other outstanding states. Nebraska and Maine award two electoral votes to their statewide winners and divide their other electoral votes by congressional districts.
