Biden up 9k+ in PA and counting, should be calling this state and the election in the very near future.

Disagree. We need to get over our fears related to online voting. There's no reason why I should be able to file my taxes online but not be able to vote similarly.

This is a great question. YOu have to look at it by county.
Maricopa county in Arizona was close, but still Biden. It is 4th largest county.
My best guess was Salt Lake county in Utah, 37th largest county. But even it went Biden.

Do you think it's the same with the Latino and Black vote? Trump got more of that vote simply before he asked them?

Sure, we didn't get a result on Election Day, but I have a pretty good feeling we'll get a good one on Eviction Day.

Other states counted mail-in ballots in advance and were then able to announce the result much earlier on election day, e.g. Florida.

The fiasco I’m referring to is Trump claiming voter fraud when there isn’t any (or at least any that would make any difference).
What I’m gathering from you guys is that the problem isn’t with the mail in ballots but rather the counting process, and that states should start the counting process earlier, which I’m 100% on board with.
Thanks for the info guys!

I think it’s as appropriate a visual representation of these results as the Dragon Ball franchise offers.
Besides, that’s evil for you. It doesn’t go away.

I’m surprised to learn that’s the 27th most populous city in the states.

Some Republican on Fox said that Trump got 1/3 of the black working class vote. I have no idea if that's true or not, but if it is, that should absolutely be setting off alarm bells for the Democrats.

The best part of remaining states continuing to turn blue is it virtual eliminates the possibility of the faithless electors scenario, which would have very much been in play had we seen something like a 270-268 final result.

Biggest city in TX that went with Trump was Corpus Christi (Nueces County) which isn't one of the 100 biggest counties in the US.

Yerah. And the county includes a big rural area around OKC, so given that the whole county is only a slim Trump win it's reasonable to assume Biden won the city itself.

Three main objectives for the Democrats in the next 2 months:
1. Fight the Republicans in the courts and the media with all they've got.
2. Communicate a healing and welcoming message that can win over disappointed Trump voters.
3. Pour money and effort into the Georgia senate runoffs that look increasingly likely, and that could still tip control to the Democrats.
If there's any way to cut McConnell off at the knees, they need to act on it.

Where are you getting votes by city? Metro Houston, for example, crosses into several counties.
