165,963 people have now voted

This includes early votes and ballots received by mail by local elections offices based on the count this group was able to attain so far. There is still likely to be more that have not been reported, and I know that the election project and Michael McDonald is working hastily on getting that information.

Oh and check out the breakdown:

Democrats 68,777 55.2%
Republicans 19,494 15.7%
Minor 335 0.3
No Party Affiliation 35,922 28.8%
TOTAL 124,528 100.0 %

and the votes received as reported by the election office for the 2020 general election. No votes will be tabulated at all until election day.

on edit: this information is what we base our knowledge of who has had the most ballots rejected -and found that blacks are 4 times more likely than whites to get their ballots tossed.

This information is not based on any results, only the number of ballots received and the demographic information of those who voted from the elections offices. I don't think they even opened up any votes yet.

It says primary. Those were the stats from the June primary. Mailing ballots just started a couple days ago as the official absentee ballots were held up pending a state supreme court decision on the Green Party candidate and several other issues.

No votes have been cast for the general election yet, as you can see on the map that it is completely white.

I see what you're saying now, sorry. Just to clarify though, the 165,000 or so votes does not include the information that is attained by clicking on pennsyvania.
