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.

Not sure why everyone is still looking at the Secretary of State numbers when they have been clearly outdated throughout the count.

You can get a more accurate number by subtracting the mail-in votes counted (under PA results) from the total ballots cast. This gives 269888 ballots uncounted right now.

I've also taken these numbers and extrapolated the mail vote in each county. Under this model Biden is currently shown as winning the state by 92k votes (1.35%)
