Philadelphia and its suburbs expect to finish counting ballots Wednesday with thousands of mail ballots left to go
Source: The Philadelphia Enquirer
Just after midnight Wednesday, at least 200,000 mail ballots still needed to be counted across Philadelphia and the four collar counties as the presidential race remained too close to call with area officials saying the votes could take until Wednesday evening to be fully counted.
Even as these pivotal, populous counties remained undecided, former President Donald Trump was showing a statewide lead buoyed by rural and Rust Belt areas.
Under state law most counties in the state will continue counting ballots overnight, not stopping the counting process until all votes have been counted (aside from provisional ballots and others that are voted on by county election boards days later).

Theyre well aware of the level of scrutiny, theyre well aware of the importance of these elections for all offices on the ballot, Secretary of State Al Schmidt said of all 67 counties in the commonwealth Tuesday night. Theyll be working late into the evening if not into the next day or two.
In 2020, Philadelphia did not finish counting its mail ballots until the Saturday after the election. This year, county election officials say they expect to finish on Wednesday. Nick Custodio, deputy to Philadelphia Commissioner Lisa Deeley, said in a text message Tuesday night that the city was ahead of expectations and had processed 115,000 mail ballots by 8 p.m. despite predicting theyd process between 85,000 and 100,000 in that time period.
