Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar on Thursday said the number of mail-in ballots that have arrived since Election Day was low, with counting ongoing to determine the winner of the battleground state in the US presidential election.
Boockvar said the close nature of the race was the reason why a result had not yet emerged, with postal and absentee votes still being tallied.
She said she did not expect a "significant amount" of further mail-in ballots to arrive in the coming days.
It comes as election officials in key battlegrounds including Pennsylvania pressed forward with presidential vote counting as Democrat Joe Biden urged patience and President Donald Trump pursued legal options with little success, insisting the processing of ballots should be stopped.
Trump's campaign engaged in a flurry of legal activity to try to improve the Republican president's chances, requesting a recount in Wisconsin and filing lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia.
The contests in Georgia and Pennsylvania, along with Nevada and North Carolina, were tight with votes still being tabulated.
Trump has fixated on Pennsylvania, where the Supreme Court refused to stop a court’s ruling that allowed for a three-day extension.
