* Short version as of Friday night late returns: Biden needs Pennsylvania or Arizona and Nevada. All three look hopeful, assuming there is no judicial chicanery, so digits cruciform. North Carolina will be a while, but likely will go to 45 absent a miracle. Georgia is still a toss up and expected to be an automatic recount. There reason to think we'll know sometime Saturday.

UPDATE: Pennsylvania's official. Biden Won!

I am amazed and much heartened by the sheer number of results when I searched for "countdown to inauguration"

http://www.inauguralcountdown.com/ is kind of mean, the countdown at timeanddate is bland but serviceable; and of course there are apps for smartphones...
