This map is updated as legal challenges and recounts are resolved or new ones are announced. For states where lawsuits or recounts are pending, the state is not designated to a specific candidate but rather marked gray.
For example, in Michigan, there are no legal challenges at this time, so the state is designated to a candidate. However, this status might change if new lawsuits are filed.
The Epoch Times will not declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved.
