Arizona Governor urges calm amid protests
Arizona's Governor has urged media and commentators to avoid declaring a winner prematurely until the state's election officials finish their jobs.
In a series of tweets, he said it's important not to "jump to conclusions" until there's a final outcome:
Fox News and Associated Press have called Arizona in favour of Joe Biden, but others are still waiting.
The Trump campaign wants the count to continue in Arizona, in contrast to their stance on Pennsylvania and Georgia, where he's currently ahead.
There are hundreds of protesters outside Maricopa County election office at the moment demanding their votes be counted, brandishing signs that said “stop the cheat” and “Biden got beat".
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has even turned up.
