He would basically need something in the range of 65% of those 122,000 votes. So the meaning of the word "mostly" is pretty important there.

Guys Theo Fleury has declared the election fraudulent and he’s always a reliable source of information. I don’t know how you could think Biden won now. It’s clearly a sham.

MI/WI called for Biden, waiting on late numbers from AZ which is leaning Biden and GA increasingly in play for Biden. Nothing definitive yet from PA but Biden quickly closing the gap there as well.

Crazy that Georgia could be won by just a couple thousand votes. Razor thin.

Here's what we know so far:




But don't despair, they've called in the experts now:

This has probably been answered already, but why are some of these states taking so long to count? Seems weird, it's not even the states with large populations like Texas or California.

Michigan: called for Biden.
Wisconsin: called for Biden.
Pennsylvana: not called for Biden, but trending Biden - question is if he can make up the rest of Trump's lead. Experts seem to think he will.
Arizona: Called for Biden by Fox and AP, who have not retracted their call, but it's looking more tenuous than Biden would like.
Georgia: Trump's lead has almost vanished and it looks like it'll end up being a complete toss up. Like, a sub-10,000 vote win for someone.
North Carolina: Has stated that they won't provide any new results for over a week. Probably will end up Trump; Biden has maybe a 10% shot of winning.
Nevada: Haven't released anything new since last night and won't until tomorrow sometime.

Kamala on the ticket may be the difference maker in Georgia.

A sweep of everything left except NC is in play and that would be sweet.

wouldn't that give Biden the same number of EC votes as Trump won with in 2016?

That would be pretty sweet.

In a positive or negative way? Georgia is 30 percent black. Believe one of the highest such populations in USA.

Georgia - Trump is ahead by ~40k votes with ~100k votes to go trending Bidens way. Crazy.

It was one thing for Harris to receive little to no support from whites in Iowa, but how could the fact that blacks in South Carolina (and beyond) weren’t excited about her either be explained?
Quote:
To the chagrin of her supporters, close examinations of the woman who took pride in the title of California’s “top cop” by writers like Lara Bazelon, C.J. Ciaramella, Sarah Lustbader, Vaidya Gullapalli, Joe Garafoli and others revealed that Harris had been nothing close to the civil rights warrior she claimed to be. In actuality, she had spent much of her professional life prosecuting and persecuting poor people and minorities.

AP has the lead down to 37,684.

It actually would, assuming Trump carries the 2nd district of Maine (not called but Trump is leading). 306 electoral votes.

He has to keep in mind that the rural vs. urban divide is as big as it has ever been and COVID is a big part of that. People in rural areas and smaller towns were largely spared from the problems. What they experienced were mostly inconveniences, like not being able to eat out, get hair cuts, or travel. Things that Trump was trying to save them from. The actual disease wasn't the issue, but the lockdowns and restrictions were. Their experience was narrow and many of them have tunnel vision as a result.

Some people think COVID hurt Trump, but I actually think it helped him more than it hurt. When it comes to COVID, that rural/small town middle America sees the Democrats as the ones causing them problems (they were going to cancel Christmas and Easter you know!).
