Every vote is counted in Wisconsin, its Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe announced Wednesday morning, and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a healthy lead.
Just before noon on Wednesday, Wolfe told NBC News that every vote in the state had been counted. Biden was up by more than 20,000 votes in the vital swing state after the votes were counted, suggesting he had wrapped the state's 10 electoral votes. That would leave Biden with a projected 237 of the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to win the presidency, though no news source has called the race in his favor.
