Ballot counting continues in North Carolina

Votes continue to be tabulated in North Carolina.

At the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections in Charlotte workers could be seen processing and counting ballots on Thursday.

Democrat Joe Biden pushed closer Thursday to the 270 Electoral College votes he needed to win the White House, securing victories in the “blue wall” battlegrounds of Wisconsin and Michigan and narrowing President Donald Trump's path.

Trump, with 214 electoral votes, faced a much higher hurdle. To reach 270, he needed to claim all four remaining battlegrounds: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada.
