Election officials only had 10,315 ballots left to count in the Grand Canyon State on Friday. Former Vice President Joe Biden held a more than 11,000-vote lead, according to KPNX-TV. NBC, The New York Times, and CNN called Arizona for Biden on Friday, joining the Associated Press and Fox News.

President Donald Trump gets a top-secret intelligence report called the President’s Daily Brief. Previous Oval Office occupants have shared the briefing with presidents-elect, but with court challenges to the ballot counting process pending, Trump has opted not to do so with Joe Biden. Some Republicans, including Sens. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, said Biden should see this briefing to prepare for his possible presidency. Biden called the briefing “useful, but not necessary,” on Tuesday.

After hovering at about 750,000 for the last two weeks, the number of new weekly unemployment applications fell to 709,000 according to the Labor Department’s Thursday report.

President Donald Trump’s claims of systematic voter fraud and tens of thousands of ineligible ballots have yet to lead to changes that could affect the outcome of the election. But a few cases still up in the air could get minor results, as well as serve as a crucial test of the trustworthiness of the American electoral process.

The Associated Press projected Wednesday that Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, would win reelection. A win by Sullivan gives Republicans 50 seats in the U.S. Senate. President Donald Trump picked up the state’s three electoral votes the same day, marking the 14th straight time a Republican presidential candidate has won the state. Republican U.S. Rep. Don Young also won the state’s at-large seat in the House for the 25th consecutive time. Young, who has represented the state since 1973, is the longest-serving member of the House.

The Southeastern Conference lost four college football games to the coronavirus pandemic this week. The SEC announced Wednesday that No. 12 Georgia’s game at Missouri would move to later in the year because Missouri could not field enough players by Saturday. The conference also postponed No. 1 Alabama at Louisiana State University, Texas A&M at Tennessee, and No. 24 Auburn at Mississippi State. The Arkansas Razorbacks will still play at No. 6 Florida this weekend, but without head coach Sam Pittman, who has COVID-19.

Lawyers should wait until results are certified to investigate voting irregularities that wouldn’t affect the election outcome, Attorney General William Barr said in a Monday memo. But he urged U.S. government attorneys to pursue any voter fraud allegations that could influence the results. “Nothing here should be taken as any indication that the Department has concluded that voting irregularities have impacted the outcome of any election,” he said.
