I read somewhere that in Pennsylvania there's about four thousand late ballots which are being counted separately, and I'm not sure if they've even been included in Pennsylvania's total. Being one of the larger states, you would expect other states to have less so-called "illegal votes" which wouldn't be enough to save Trump. Potentially he could get Arizona but he might need the late votes - which makes it a little awkward.
Trump has muddied the waters a little by insinuating that everything that's been counted over the last couple of days are late ballots and (bigly) illegal, but they're not. In the case of PA, they weren't able to start counting/preparing the postal ballots until election day so they were never going to get it all counted by the time Donny went to bed on election night.
Unlike NZ, the mail does get datestamped (assuming that wasn't one of the cutbacks put forward by the USPS), so they should know what time things arrived.
It's going to be a messy few weeks, not helped by the unhelpful rumourmongering on social media... 14,000 dead people voted in a county (no they didn't - one elderly woman wasn't even dead), "I threw out 100 Trump ballots today" (no you didn't, you don't even live there), This guy was seen dumping ballots behind the polling centre, here's where he lives and his drivers license number (he was literally taking out the rubbish).
Good luck to Biden in binding the US together again. Can't see it happening tbh.
