so what is happening now ? I see there no new updates for a while

Slowly some more votes from Wisconsin and Michigan are coming in, which aren't really doing much different than slowly increading Biden's lead.

Nevada won’t be releasing any more results until tomorrow by the way.

Slovakia can test 2.5 mil people in one day,

 

America needs days on end to organize some papers.

Mostly because of the mail ballots I believe? They can arrive until 10 November and will be counted (if marked 3 November at the latest of course), perhaps that has something to do with it?

To be entirely fair, making sure every single vote of many dozens of millions is registered correctly is a tiny bit more important than making sure every single test is registered correctly

I believe Georgia is on halt too, but not exactly sure why. @Olympian1010? And while we're at it, what's the delay in North Carolina?

 

In Pennsylvania I believe it's due to the huge number of mail ballots, most of which they could only even start counting after yesterday's in-person votes were all counted.

Yes, that is part of, if not all, of the reasoning behind that.

Maybe waiting the mail ballots being resend back to the US from Tbilisi

I believe Georgia election officials will have have a press conference soon to discuss what’s going on there. No clue what’s going on in North Carolina.

 

Yes, Pennsylvania had a press conference a while ago, and they said they are still at work counting mail-in ballots. Yes, in Pennsylvania the law is they can’t start counting mail-in ballots until Election Day.
