The latest voting data from Arizona has shown Democrat Joe Biden’s lead there narrowing.

Maricopa County - the state’s most populous county - released the results from 140,000 more ballots on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

The updated vote totals show Biden leading Donald Trump in Maricopa County by 74,514 votes, almost 11,000 fewer than the previous update.

State-wide, Biden currently has a lead of about 68,000.

In the two new batches of results released by Maricopa County, Trump's share of the vote was about 57%.

But how significant is this to the wider state picture?

In order to win, Trump would have to receive the same proportion of votes that remain to be counted in other parts of Arizona, including in areas that tend to vote for the Democratic party, the New York Times reports.

The BBC still considers the race in Arizona too early to call. Even though, some outlets, via the Associated Press news agency, have already projected a win for the Democrats.
