So, if this is the strategy that Trump elects and there is every indication he will pursue this, until the court cases are settled Donald J. Trump will continue to be POTUS.

Maybe 78% is too high to shoot for, but it could be that there more than 1.5 million votes to be counted. Anyway, Pennsylvania is still in the game for Biden.
Hey, I'm hopeful too, but you have to look at the county trends and take them into consideration. Those make the math for Biden pretty impossible. Unless those ballots are all being lumped into one monolithic group, and not as part of the originating county (which they should), the math still is what it is. I hope to be wrong. I would love Pennsylvania to push it way over the top and have Trump wincing. But I don't see the math being there.
