Keep in mind that these numbers may not be current. For example, as of right now (5:40pm EST), the estimated number of remaining votes in Pennslyania listed on the site is 431,723, but the PA Secretary of State put the number remaining as 326,000 an hour ago[1]. The NYT API may be using modeled numbers.

Love the tech here. A periodically generated html page / json file committed to a repo through github actions.

I think most of us have been mentally doing these calculations (inaccurately!) in our heads these past two days. But this is so awesome!
Also, according to the trends here:
Alaska - Trump (3 votes)
Arizona - Trump (11 votes)
Georgia - Biden (16 votes)
North Carolina - Trump (15 votes)
Nevada - Biden (6 votes)
Pennsylvania - Biden (20 votes)
Winner would be Biden.

Can someone explain why 400k+ vote still being counted but Arizona result is called. No I am not want to dispute or argue. Just number. Thanks.

This is really useful. Nice work.
The description for the "Block trend" column could perhaps be a little clearer. It currently reads:
>How has the trailing candidate's share of recent blocks trended? Computed using a moving average of previous 30k or more votes (or as many as available).
To me that says "We compute the moving average using the last 30k votes, except when we use more or less than that.".

Amazingly simple and clear. Thank you.

This is helpful. Would be nice to have this be a large table with all the active states mixed together. I could just visit this page and look for changes since I last looked.

There’s a row in PA listing Biden with 104.3% of the vote in a block with 1285 votes (the differential increased by more than the total number of votes). Data error?

Nice
Who's up for adding simple graphs to this?

I've been looking for something exactly like this. Thanks so much!

Well done. NC looks like something might be wonky; it's reporting all the blocks as 50.0% Trump and 50.0% Biden. Which is possible I guess, but it seems more likely that there's a bug somewhere.

Why do the estimated vote counts keep going up? Why has this process dragged on for
days. Where do they keep losing ballots? Why isn't there a deadline? Why are only these states still counting?
Great resource BTW!
