@cheesemaster saidThe vote counting is different from other years.
From what I see at Fox Trump is behind but everyone talking like he won.
What am I missing?
Some states have counted early ballots first. With these, Biden gets an early lead and Trump storms back.
Others, they don't count early till election day. And some of those can take days.
Pennsylvania for example. Which is where GOP went to court to try and stop counting.
Other states, GOP tried to overturn extension for deadline to complete counting.
There are shenanigans going on.
Several states delaying counting early votes, then hoping to have courts enforce a deadline, end of day Nov 3, for counting.
Even though the votes came in on time.
@cheesemaster saidMedia needs to review their polling methods.
Polls will be abolished or ridiculed...
Media might regroup and go with an unbiased approach 🤔
This is not partisan.
Fox and CNN both had Biden in front by same margin.
@cheesemaster saidHillary was a bad candidate.
Still looking like a Biden win.
Close yes, but I still think Biden wins.
I'm the guy who said Hillary would crush Trump so what do I know 🙄
Dems need a young person who can speak and pretend to be a centrist.
Even so, Biden should win this thing.

Trump has swung to hot favorite in the last few hours $1.28 Trump to $3.50 Biden, at the time of my posting this, weird stuff happening.
@jimmac saidI have been reading a betting site and it basically said this thing likely depends on Pennsylvania.

@eladar saidPennsylvania vote counting may take till Friday to complete.

Apparently, several states did not allow early mail in votes to be opened till this morning.
States are apparently GOP run.
Now Trump wants to block counting of these votes after Nov 3.
Even though they came in on time.
Hmmm.
@eladar saidTrump's lead in Pennsylvania just plummeted from over 400,000 to about 150,000 and there's still at least a third of the vote to count most of them absentee ballots (which can arrive by November 6th). It's seems likely Biden will win there.

I don't see a single State likely to flip from HRC to Trump but it looks like Arizona (where Biden has held a 200,000 vote lead for a while) will go from R to D. This gets Biden to 243, 244 if he win NE-2 (where he has a healthy lead).
That would mean he would have to win at least two of three of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. He trails now in all three, but there are a lot of urban votes and absentee ballots to counts. It seems likely he squeaks it out.
There's also been some problems with counting votes in Georgia's biggest counties which are heavily Democratic, so there's some possibility Biden could win there, though Trump leads now by almost 300,000.
@no1marauder
No matter what at least this election shows that this country does not support Biden.
How after a year like this Trump would not get shredded is beyond me.

I mean, what does someone have to do to be unelectable as a republican?

@no1marauder saidAs far as I can see, Donald Trump leads in Pennsylvania by 600000 votes with nearly 60% of the vote counted.

Biden leads in Arizona with 3/4 of the vote in but I'm not sure he'll flip it. I think he'll struggle to hold onto Nevada.
Ohio, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan look safe for the Donald. Joe looks like he'll hold Minnesota.
Looks pretty over. Biden needs both Arizona and Pennsylvania. If his underperformance with Latinos in Florida is anything to go by, Nevada is far from a sure win.
@ashiitaka saidEarlier this evening the New York Times practically called Georgia for Trump (90% chance of his winning). Now they are forecasting 67% chance of a Biden victory there, on the basis that the majority of uncounted votes come from the bluest corners of the state.

It ain't over till it's over.
