			Was glad to see my state go for Biden, by a huge margin.

I'm just going to respond to every one of these I see: no, it's not looking iffy. It's not looking like anything. There's simply no way to know what those oustanding mail-in ballots look like. It wouldn't be surprising to see Biden at well over 60% in those outstanding votes, and if so he would win the state handily.

			Man, I think Pennsylvania is going for Biden. Look at all those votes still to come in Philadelphia (33% reporting) and Pittsburgh (17% reporting), which are both around 80% for Biden right now.

			Haha congrats to everyone who took the smart gamble at long odds for Biden. That was Trumpster money to be stolen from people that didn't understand the process. People seem to forget how fragmented and messed up this process is every 4 years.

			If things keep on this trajectory, Biden will need Pennsylvania and one of Wisconsin or Michigan (assuming Minnesota, Hawaii and Nevada are in the bag).
 Or all of Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan if he loses Pennsylvania.

It is still way, way too early to be taking a victory lap on that.

Well, let's wait and see. What stuns me, more than anything, is how close this is and that is the real story - no matter who wins.

 probably not enough to close the gap, but the Blue shift is still a real thing to expect.
 |  
Also if I were to pick any state that would engage in shenanigans it would be Florida.  I expect a court challenge to stop the counting soon.

That's not 88% of the vote, its 88% of poles.
 
Again, the poles that are not in often contain the most votes and are in the bluest places,  it will tighten.  And I did say it may not be enough to overcome the lead.
 
Plus in most places these poles are reported by a simple phone call, mistakes happen things get counted a again and change over the following days.  If the people who have all the information say its too close to call, that there are lots of reasons to believe them.

 Biiiiing-o. Add a $58 profit to my pocket.

Ah okay.  I asked earlier what it meant.
 
EDIT:  I dunno.  When I click on a state it says '% expected vote in.'  Doesn't that mean those votes have been counted?
 
Obviously they don't know exactly how many people will vote.

			John McCain giving the middle finger to Trump from the grave. 
 Of the thousands of terrible things Trump has said and done, his treatment of McCain is near the top of the list.

It's a good point. 
 
Wayne County (Detroit) is also only 28% counted at the moment.  That could make a huge difference.
