I really like Bloomberg's site now that we're into the weeds of trying to game out where different states are waiting on votes in different counties. It's a really smart way of showing where there are big chunks of anticipated votes remaining.

Florida, Georgia and Texas polled close for Biden, he won none. Not an issue guys.

Rust belt tilted the election in 2016 by 77K votes. That's all that Biden needs to win, get ~100K votes across 3 battle states.

Side note, did Hillary win Arizona in '16?

Yet he's cool with the nightly riots and the whole CHAZ debacle?

Betting on Biden right now is the best odds you will ever see on something that is likely to happen

Between North Carolina and Kentucky, the Democrats spent almost $200 million dollars trying to defeat the Republican incumbents in the Senate. Both failed.

Real winner? Facebook.

Think about how much Facebook benefits from having us in a constant stage of outrage, where more and more ad dollars are spent trying to 'win' our vote.

Crazy.

That's the downside of small dollar donations is you can't really control where they go.

NBC and Fox calling the House for Dems.

Here's an oddity: Florida stopped reporting at 91% and has been sitting there for quite some time. North Carolina got to 92% and stopped. Ohio stopped at 87%. Texas, weirdest of all, has taken about an hour to move from 71% to 72%.

Note: Fox News explicitly telling viewers that Pennsylvania will not be decided tonight. At least that is a positive.

They’re calling a Dem house? Don’t the Reps have the lead right now? Dems are leading the senate... what’s the word on that?

Definitely one of the takeaways from tonight for me.........of course you need to raise funds and have a bunch of cash on hand, but next time I hear someone has a 2-1 or 3-1 cash advantage over their opponent........who cares?

Don't know if already mentioned but the Republicans flipped a Senate seat in Alabama so we're currently back to par for the night.

ABC news just explained how a tie is broken.



I'm not sure I could explain it, but basically Rs have more congressional districts that Ds and that is the tiebreaker.
