Pennsylvania's Secretary of State says the counting of its remaining mail-in ballots could be completed on Thursday. Business Insider reports Joe Biden has been cutting into President Donald Trump's lead in the state as mail ballots have been counted. In 2016, Trump carried the state by less than 1 point. That razor-thin margin made it a top priority for Democrats to win back in 2020. If Biden wins Pennsylvania, he'll secure the electoral college majority necessary to win the presidency. So far, Insider and Decision Desk HQ projections say Biden has secured 253 electoral college votes. Trump has so far won Florida, Iowa, Ohio, and Texas. Races in Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina remain too close to call, although Fox News and the Associated Press have called Arizona for Biden.

Multiple houses were severely damaged and thousands of residents were left without electricity after Hurricane Matthew ripped through Charlotte in North Carolina on Sunday. No casualties were reported but numerous houses sustained severe damage in the storm. Trees were uprooted and fell onto houses and power lines, destroying property and snapping electricity wires like twigs. Emergency services have been dispatched to Charlotte to examine the situation and begin clearing up the damages. Despite the fact that Charlotte was spared the worst rain and wind of Hurricane Matthew, other people across the state suffered worse damages. More than half a million power outages were reported in North Carolina on Sunday morning and large parts of the state have been flooded, with some areas being hit by as much as 16 inches of rain throughout Saturday.
