But President Trump will need to do better than this to catch Biden as counting resumes tomorrow:
71,932 ballots dropped from Maricopa
Biden: 31,433 (43.6%)
Trump: 38,388 (53.4%)— The AZ – abc15 – Data Guru (@Garrett_Archer) November 7, 2020
It’s estimated that President Trump needs to win 58% of the remaining votes to win the state:

But he needs to win 58% of remaining votes there & he’s falling short.— SovernNation (@SovernNation) November 7, 2020
And here’s what we think are left to count:
