The 2020 presidential election remained up in the air early Wednesday after tight races, strong turnout and record amounts of mail-in voting left millions of legitimate votes still to be counted, and races in six key states too close to call.

Democratic candidate Joe Biden urged patience until “every vote is counted,” but President Trump railed against the extra time required to count the ballots, falsely accusing Democrats of trying to steal the election from him.
