Georgia trends Trump, Harris will need help from big vote bases

With about two-thirds of Georgia's expected vote reporting, Trump leads by 6 points, 53% to 47%. Among the counties where at least 90% of the expected vote has reported (53 of the state's 159 counties), Trump is doing about 3 points better in margin than he did in 2020 against Biden. In a state Biden carried by just 0.24 points, a statewide trend like that across all counties would surely mean victory for Trump.

Harris' hopes lie in gaining votes in some of the big Atlanta-area counties that were pivotal to Biden's win, as none of those has reported more than about three-fourths of the expected vote yet (and Gwinnett County has reported only 16% of its expected vote). The good news for her is that she's running ahead of Biden in some of those places; the bad news is that some of those counties still have more GOP-leaning Election Day votes to process.

Trump projected to pick up four more states -- including Texas

ABC News is projecting that Trump is expecting to win North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming -- all reliably red states. With this, the former president will pick up the four state's combined 49 electoral votes.

With about 57% of the expected vote in for the Lone Star State, Trump currently leads Harris by 8 percentage points (53% to 45%). If this trend continues, Harris will have underperformed Biden's 2020 margin. That year, Biden lost by about 5 percentage points -- one of the closest Texas races for the White House in the last quarter century. In 2016, Trump carried the state by 9 percentage points over Hillary Clinton.

FBI says 'inauthentic' uses of its name promote false narratives

FBI officials say there have been several instances of the "inauthentic" use of the FBI's name and seal to promote false election-related narratives.

A fabricated written statement, falsely claiming to be from the FBI, warned media and bloggers against publishing information about violence at polling stations -- claiming that active dissemination of information about attacks at polling stations may provoke a spontaneous increase in such incidents.

A fabricated video impersonating the FBI and a U.S. government agency falsely provided a joint statement suggesting schools suspend educational activities through Nov. 11, fraudulently claiming that "the risk of school shooting and riots has increased significantly" because of the election.

And a fabricated video falsely claimed the FBI received "9,000 complaints about malfunctioning voting machines."

"Election integrity is among our highest priorities, and the FBI is working closely with state and local law enforcement partners to respond to election threats," FBI officials said in a statement. "Attempts to deceive the public with false content about FBI threat assessments and activities aim to undermine our democratic process and erode trust in the electoral system."
