11. In Philly

It's not clear if they've counted all of the in person voting in their totals. Taking the remaining mail in and adding them to the already counted (in person) voting totals around 700k, which is equal to the total count in 2016. I suspect that voter turnout in Philly this year was higher than in 2016 so there could be another 100k+ of in person votes they haven't counted.

PA is still obligated to count mail in votes that come in through Friday. Those are generally Democratic votes so that will also add onto the tally (and be fought over by Trump and the Republicans).

I think all of the mail-in and left over in person votes from Tuesday will be completely counted sometime today. Hopefully those votes will put Biden in the lead so the mail ins after Tuesday won't matter as much (unless those go overwhelmingly for Trump, which I doubt).
