The presidential contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden now depends on the outcomes of a handful of states, each with varying rules on counting votes and contesting results -- delaying the declaration of a winner.

They haven’t been called by major media organizations, with the exception of Arizona, which was called for Biden by two outlets.

Excluding those, Biden has 227 electoral votes
