THIRTEEN THE FIRST ACROSS 270.

GOOD MORNING , EVERYONE.
I'M KERISTEN HOLMES.
WHILE THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING
AN EXTRAORDINARY EARLY
MORNING DECLARATION, HE
MATURELY DECLARED VICTORY AND
ALSO CAST DOUBT ON THE ELECTION
PROCESS.
>> HE'S NOT CALLING FOR THE
MANY BALLOTS NOT TO BE COUNTED
.
FAITH ABUBEY.
NOW IN WASHINGTON WITH THE VERY
LATEST.
>> GOOD MORNING .
>> MILLIONS OF BALLOTS ARE
STILL BEING COUNTED AT THIS
HOUR ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY BUT
IT SEEMS THIS RACE WILL BE
DECIDED IN THREE KEY
BATTLEGROUND STATES OVERNIGHT.
FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE
ENERGIZING A CAR RALLY
OF SUPPORTERS.
WE BELIEVE WE'RE ON TRACK TO
WIN THIS ELECTION.
BIDEN SO FAR PERFORMING AS
EXPECTED AS THE VOTE COUNTS
ROLL IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
IT AIN'T OVER TILL EVERY VOTE
IS COUNTED, EVERY BALLOTS
COUNTED.
BUT WE'RE FEELING GOOD WE'RE
FEELING GOOD ABOUT WHERE WE
ARE.
>> THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT
BOOSTED BY WINS IN TRADITIONAL
DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS AND THE
PACIFIC WEST COAST TAKING
CALIFORNIA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON.
AND IN A SURPRISE OUTCOME,
BIDEN NOW LEADING IN ARIZONA.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS 29
ELECTORAL VOTES.
>> WE'LL GO TO DONALD TRUMP'S.
>> TRUMP WINNING THE BIGGEST
PRIZE SO FAR TAKING ALL
OF FLORIDA'S 29 ELECTORAL VOTES
AND PERFORMING WELL IN RURAL
AREAS.
BUT AS VOTES ARE STILL BEING
COUNTED, TRUMP IN AN EARLY
MORNING SPEECH FALSELY CLAIMING
HE WON THE RACE.
>> THIS IS A FRAUD ON THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC.
>> FRANKLY, WE DID WIN THIS
ELECTION.
>> THE PRESIDENT ALSO HEADING
TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND TWITTER
SLAPPING A WARNING LABEL ON HIS
TWEET AFTER HE WROTE IN PART.
WE'RE A BIG BUT THEY ARE TRYING
TO STEAL THE ELECTION.
RIGHT NOW THE CLIFFHANGER
APPEARS TO BE IN THE RUST BELT
STATES OF PENNSYLVANIA,
MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN, KEY
BATTLEGROUNDS THAT COULD DECIDE
WHO WINS THE WHITE HOUSE.
WISCONSIN OFFICIALS TELLING ABC
NEWS THEY EXPECT STATEWIDE
RESULTS AS EARLY AS TODAY WITH
VOTES CAST AND NOTHING ELSE TO
HELP THE RACE.
THOUSANDS OF ANSYS VOTERS
GATHERING IN D.C.'S BLACK LIVES
MATTER PLAZA AS A NATION WAITS
FOR FINAL RESULTS.
>> SO FAR IT APPEARS THE YOUNG
PEOPLE DID NOT TURN OUT TO VOTE
AS EXPECTED.
NATIONAL EXIT POLLS SUGGESTING
THAT 18 TO 29 YEAR OLDS MAKE UP
THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF THE
ELECTORATE AS THEY DID BACK IN
2016.
FAITH ABUBEY ABC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT LIVE SHOT.
FAITH.
OK.
FAITH. OK. SO NEW FIGURE THIS MORNING .
JOE BIDEN SAYS HE WILL FIGHT
ANY EFFORT BY THE PRESIDENT TO
STOP THE REMAINING BALLOTS FROM
BEING COUNTED.
IT CAME AFTER THE PRESIDENT
SAID THIS WHILE MOST OF YOU
WERE SLEEPING.
SO WE'LL BE GOING TO THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT.
>> WE WANT ALL VOTED TO STOP.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO FIND ANY
BALLOTS AT 4:00 IN THE
MORNING ON THE LEFT.
>> NOW JUST A FEW HOURS AGO
BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER SAID
THEY HAVE LEGAL TEAM STANDING
BY AND READY TO FIGHT BACK.
TIME NOW IS SIX VO3 THE
MORNING AFTER ELECTION DAY AND
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STILL HAS
NOT DECLARED A WINNER IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
THERE ARE STILL HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF VOTES THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN COUNTED.
WELL, OK, THAT SETS IT UP
KERISTEN I'M OVER HERE WITH THE
ELECTION MAP.
THE STATES THAT ARE IN WHITE OR
WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, THEY ARE
TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
NO ONE IS CALLING THEM AS
OF YET AS OF RIGHT NOW WE'RE.
WE'RE GOING TO BREAK DOWN NOT
WHERE THE VOTING STANDS BUT
WHERE THEY'RE PROJEKT TO END UP
WITH THE FINAL VOTE IN EACH
STATE WILL BE BASED ON THE
BALLOTS THAT ARE OUT.
FOR EXAMPLE IN GEORGIA RIGHT
NOW THE PRESIDENT HAS A LEAD IN
GEORGIA BUT 20 PERCENT OF THE
VOTES OF FULTON COUNTY, ATLANTA
ARE OUT.
SO THAT IS PROJECTED TO GO THE
WAY OF THE VICE PRESIDENT.
SO WE'RE GIVE THAT ONE TO
GEORGIA EVENTUALLY.
AGAIN, IT'S NOT WHERE IT STANDS
NOW.
NEVADA ALSO IS LEANING BLUE FOR
JOE BIDEN.
WE'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO GET
INTO PENNSYLVANIA BECAUSE THAT
COULD BE TILL FRIDAY.
NORTH CAROLINA IS GOING TO GO.
WE THINK FOR THE PRESIDENT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN NORTH
CAROLINA.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE THAT
TO HIM RIGHT NOW.
SO IT'S TWO SIXTY TO TWO TWENTY
EIGHT.
THAT LEAVES MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN IN PLAY.
THE LATEST NUMBERS THAT ARE
COMING IN BASED ON THE ABSENTEE
MAIL IN BALLOTS ARE LEANING
TOWARDS WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN
GOING FOR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
SO AS IT STANDS NOW, PROJECTION
OF FINAL VOTE WHEN EVERYTHING
IS COUNTED HAS BIDEN AT 286,
TRUMP AT 228.
AND PENNSYLVANIA'S 20 NOT NOT A
FACTOR RIGHT NOW BASED ON WHERE
THIS IS GOING.
BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE MAYBE
