And we’re going into a second day, with Joe Biden now favourite to win following a late mail-in vote surge.

Early-voting mask-wearers who feared an in-person poll appear to be the key. Biden is now sniffing victory as though it’s a teenage girl.

Further updates to come at the end of this post.

WYOMING 2016: Trump 67.4 per cent

I once talked my way out of a 90mph speeding ticket in Wyoming. In the snow.

Great place. Held by Trump.

IOWA 2016: Trump 51.1 per cent

The Des Moines Register last week called it for Trump.

They got it exactly right. Trump by around seven points.

MONTANA 2016: Trump 56.1 per cent

Land of the open sky, and Trump supporters.

NEVADA 2016: Clinton 47.9 per cent

Too close to call at 11.20pm Sydney time. One of the key remaining states.

UTAH 2016: Trump 45.5 per cent

Trump.

CALIFORNIA 2016: Clinton 61.7 per cent

The only competition for Biden in California would have been a repeat run by Hillary.

IDAHO 2016: Trump 59.2 per cent

Trump again in 2020.

OREGON 2016: Clinton 50 per cent

One of America’s peak leftist riot states. Biden won it.

WASHINGTON 2016: Clinton 54.3 per cent

Biden all the way.

ALASKA 2016: Trump 51.2 per cent

Trump again.

HAWAII 2016: Clinton 62.8 per cent

Biden.

UPDATE:

Joe Biden has won Michigan by 1.3 percentage points, putting a brick back in the “blue wall” of Democratic states that swung to Donald Trump in 2016, and taking Mr Biden within just six votes of winning the presidency.

Until 2016 Michigan, with 16 electoral votes, had reliably backed the party. The states had chosen the Democratic candidate in six consecutive presidential elections between 1992 and 2012. Mr. Biden campaigned with former President Barack Obama Saturday in Michigan.

Biden is now just six electoral college votes away from victory.
