In Georgia, election officials in Fulton County _ home to Atlanta and largest trove of Democratic voters in the state _ planned to keep counting roughly 36,000 remaining absentee ballots late into Wednesday night or even into Thursday morning.
"We're going to finish tonight. As long as it takes, we're going to be here," Rick Barron, Fulton County's election supervisor, told reporters. He estimated finishing could take until midnight or later.
At least three Georgia counties with ballots still uncounted _ Cobb, Clayton and Gwinnett counties in suburban metro Atlanta _ were stopping for the night and planned to resume Thursday.
The Associated Press has not declared a winner in Georgia's presidential contest because the race between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden is too early to call. But with many of the votes left to tally in counties that tend to vote blue, Democrats had reason for optimism.
