I started tracking the numbers in Georgia a couple hours ago. Over that time, Biden has been taking 84% of the vote.

Yeah.

We're supposed to get GA's results tonight though for sure, reports of midnight ET and 3AM ET for the final count there.

The thing that really makes Arizona look sketchy as #### is the fact that Mark Kelly's numbers have remained strong and stagnant. He's been 52-47 since the polls closed. Biden's numbers were similar. But now we're seeing a bunch of votes come in that have Trump making a dent, but Kelly remaining strong? Doesn't make sense. Not may Trump/Kelly voters out there. So Biden has dropped a point but Kelly remains stagnant. Something ain't right in Grand Canyon State.

You've been doing a fantastic job over the last couple of days and I for one applaud and appreciate your dedication.

I didn't realize that Jesse Ventura was running for the Green Party in Alaska this year.

I lived in Northwestern Ontario when he was the Minnesota Governor and he raised fishing limits after Ontario decreased them for conservation to try and lure more tourists to Minnesota. It wasn't what I would call a "green" policy.

NBC has a reporter on the ground there. He looks/sounds pretty nervous.

That's super lazy. Why riot in Portland? If you have an objection to something going on, drive somewhere where it's relevant, like PA. Or NV, if you're not up for the cross-country trip to make a real difference.

Democrats are checking the mail in votes! Only democrats!

Pennsylvania lead now 164,418.

I feel like we're now running up against the limits of the publicly available numbers, and it's impossible to speculate or discern patterns in places like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona.



All the various election maps have estimates of how many votes are in by county and by state, but there's no way to tell how accurate that is. It's also impossible to extrapolate from each county/state's current vote breakdown to predict how the remaining votes - however many there may be - will split.



I don't know about the rest of you, but the only way I'm able to get any sense of what is going to happen now is when we hear directly from the states themselves, providing direct numbers with respect to the current tallies and the number (and method) of votes outstanding.


Basically, I'm giving up on guessing now. Just going to have to wait this out, then wait out the recounts, then wait out the court challenges.



That's gonna mean a lot of drinks over the coming week or so.

Speaking of Jessie, when he was the Minnesota Governor he had someone in his party come up to him with a bill that banned people on snowmobiles from jumping over open patches of frozen lake water in the winter. He looked at the guy and said: "Why would I do that?" "If people are stupid enough to jump over open water, let Darwin take care of them."

The votes left in Fulton, Dekalb and Clayton should eliminate Trumps lead entirely.

Is that down or up from the last count?

It's not a good look.



Also, it gives spray-tan Mussolini something to latch onto (and lash out at) while he refreshes his Fox News and Twitter feeds from the can.
