Trump will not give in if the margins stay this close.
Yup, this is likely headed toward the Supreme Court, where Amy Coney Barrett and her fellow cronies will hand the election to Trump on a golden platter. If that happens, get ready for mass protests, riots, and possible civil war. This is gonna get very messy over the next couple of days.
What’s the purpose of the media calling states before all the votes are counted? Why does trump care what Fox News calls if he turns out to win it in the end anyways?

Apologies if already posted. Starting to feel like Biden eked it out but yeah I could see trump refusing to leave and causing a mini Civil War. That speech last night was crazy man.

I remember 2016 election night I started laughing at the chaos that was ensuing and almost started cheering for Trump to win, just to see the clown show.
The clown show was not fun. It was dangerous. I REALLY hope Biden wins and it's decisive enough there are no SC shenanigans. The world needs a return to normalcy.

Anyone have a good indication on which way Nevada is heading? All the sites show Biden currently ahead, but my mom just texted me and said she heard on the tv that the remaining votes should flip it to Trump. Can anyone confirm that?

Can't confirm anything other than most mail-in ballots are likely Dem votes.
So it's very likely Biden takes NV.

It’s all mail in now which leans to Dems.

Depends who you listen to.
But they are mail-in votes, so I would think the smart money is on a DEM win
To me the biggest story of the night is Collins potentially holding on in Maine, and Tillis in North Carolina keeping McConnell in charge of the Senate.
First, on election night, Trump is leading in vote count in enough states to get him to 270, but analysts for the non-Fox news channels rely on sound analytical models of what the makeup of the outstanding mail-in ballots are likely to be once they're all counted, and declare Biden the winner of the election despite him trailing in most states in terms of votes actually counted up to that point. This could result in Trump declaring victory and accusing the media of lying and trying to steal the election, and in turn trying to throw out any remaining mail in ballots on the basis that they shouldn't count after election day.
Second, those news channels are more conservative in their projections, and simply note that all of the states in which significant mail-in ballots are outstanding and where Trump is leading but could realistically be overtaken once the mail-in ballots are counted are "too early to call". Again, if this happens, Trump could declare victory on the basis that, as he has said previously, "whoever gets the most votes on election day should be the winner", and tries to stop any further counting of ballots.
I do not see any realistic third scenario. Those are the only two likely outcomes, it seems to me, and they both lead to Trump and company doing the same sorts of things. The key point is that on election day, it is highly unlikely that enough Biden votes will have been counted for it to be clear that he has the election won.
I WAS RIDICULED
... Although the funnier part was when I made my projections based on a 2% polling error in favour of Biden and was accused of being ridiculous for having so little faith in the pollsters' assumptions, when it turns out I generally had far too much faith.

What the hell has McConnel done for the state of Kentucky that they gave him a 7th mandate? People really love voting against their own self interest.

It's more than just that they're mail in votes, it's that they're votes from Clark County, which is a Democratic stronghold.
Still only an 8k margin so not impossible if something weird happens that the state flips, but you have to feel good about it if you're Biden.

This is extremely disappointing since you can't get any real change and McTurtle maintains leadership for at least another 4 years blocking every meaningful policy initiative and not getting punished for stacking the supreme court.
