So we are likely looking at a universe of outstanding votes that is much lower than 120,000, maybe as low as 90-95,000 and we have no idea how provisionals will skew. In a normal election provisional votes tend to be more democratic—but this isn’t a normal election so.... who knows? But that is why I used the 100K number and interestingly it yields a hurdle rate for Trump that is extremely close to his current batch average and maybe just a hair higher.

If Biden gets a relatively good batch from Maricopa today this is likely over—if it is once again around 58% Trump we will just have to keep waiting I guess.
