Three states have yet to be projected by NBC News: Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina, which together have 47 electoral votes.

Trump is currently leading in the popular vote tally of one of those states, North Carolina, but trails Biden in the other two states by .4 percentage points or less.

Georgia’s secretary of state on Wednesday announced a statewide hand recount of all ballots.

To retain the presidency, Trump would need to reverse at least one of Biden’s projected victories in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, even if he managed to win all three of the remaining states whose results have yet to be projected.

Election analysts and legal observers say his chances of winning a recount or of invalidating enough ballots by proving fraud or some other irregularity to deny Biden a victory in even a single state, much less multiple states, are slim at best.

Biden’s legal advisor Bob Bauer has called the Trump campaign’s legal challenges to ballots “theatrics.”

A White House official told NBC News, “It’s not wrong for the Biden team to call it theater.”

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, on Wednesday said it is “very, highly unlikely” that Trump will win enough of the fewer than 45,000 ballots outstanding in Arizona to overcome Biden’s lead there.

Brnovich, whose wife was appointed to the federal judiciary by Trump, also said during a Fox Business interview that his office had not found any evidence of ballot fraud.

In Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told Fox 5 Atlanta on Tuesday that, “We have not found any widespread voter fraud.”

“I understand half of the people will be happy, half of the people will be sad, but I want 100% of the people to understand that the process was fair and accurately counted,” Raffensperger said.

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, in a CNN interview Wednesday said that the only known case of voter fraud “in Pennsylvania in this cycle, is a registered Republican in Luzerne County, [who] tried to vote for Trump with his dead mother’s ballot.”

“And at some point, we all have to collectively accept that yelling ‘voter fraud’ when there is no evidence whatsoever of it is yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater,” Fetterman said. “It is harming the democratic franchise of our country and the peaceful transition of power and we cannot accept that.”

In Michigan, state Attorney General Dana Nessel also disputed claims of fraud by the Trump campaign.

“The November elections in Michigan ran as smoothly as ever,” said the Democrat Nessel on Wednesday.

“Irregularities occur in every election, but there are multiple layers of protection to ensure that these irregularities are caught and rectified.”

“Most of these are simple human error, not crimes,” she said.
