Maricopa County – the state’s most populous county – released the results from 140,000 more ballots on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

The updated vote totals show Biden leading Donald Trump in Maricopa County by 74,514 votes, almost 11,000 fewer than the previous update.

State-wide, Biden currently has a lead of about 68,000.

In the two new batches of results released by Maricopa County, Trump’s share of the vote was about 57%.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has won Michigan with 16 of the battleground state’s electoral votes, according to media reports.

Both CNN and NBC News called the race for Biden on Wednesday evening, even as other key states such Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nevada were yet to declare a winner, The Hill news website reported.

In the 2016 presidential election, then Republican candidate Donald Trump bagged Michigan with 47.50 per cent of the vote, while his challenger Hillary Clinton trailed very close at 47.27 per cent.

Trump and Biden campaigned in Michigan ahead of Election Day.

While the President attended a rally on Monday, Biden made a joint appearance with former President Barack Obama on October 31.

Michigan is the second of three Rust Belt “blue wall” states that Biden has won after Trump had flipped them four years ago.
