This might seem like an obvious observation BUT there are so many people who just don't understand the process -- and it's tweets/messages/stories like these (simple, straightforward and factual) that will be so important moving forward to inform a (very confused) public.

The outstanding ballots in PA are NOT new votes. The 1.4m this morning are votes that were cast and arrived on or before Election Day. They have simply not been counted yet.

Hi, it's me. For those who don't know, I am a reporter in Pennsylvania covering the midterms & I'm currently on strike against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, fighting for a fair contract with my @PGHGuild colleagues. Today, I'm covering the election. See the graphic below.
