They keep playing that insane Eric Trump / Rudy Giuliani footage, which I don't even think has been acknowledged by the two left leaning networks. It's kind of annoying. I didn't want to hear that even once, much less ten times.
napkin math suggests that there's at least 130k left for Philly based on 2016 numbers (assuming same turnout). I doubt turnout is down?

Unless the ballots haven't been reported yet.

I'm going off of NYT's site

Regardless of the final outcome, this election proved that the US is a fundamentally broken country. To have 67 million (and counting) Americans vote for Trump after what we've seen in the last 4 years is mind boggling, if I lived there I'd be looking to get out too

It's going to be super funny if Biden wins Georgia by 52 votes and this Trump lawsuit actually matters.

Thank you for all your posts in this thread and your analysis of this election. I've been reading posts mostly and appreciate all the commentary you have given.

6:00 PM update.

It's getting close and that makes me feel good.

In Georgia, there are 6 counties >50,000 that are under 90% reported. All 6 are Biden counties. Trump's largest remaining sub-90% county is 38,000.

In Pennsylvania, Philadelphia hasn't budged off 70% reported in hours. Biden was expected to net around 350,000 votes from Philly, meaning with 30% outstanding, he should net around 100,000 votes upon counting which halves Trump's Pennsylvania lead.


Georgia
410,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 63% of them.
358,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 62% of them.
308,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 60% of them.
256,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 59% of them.

Michigan
1,590,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 60% of them.
453,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 47% of them.
340,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 45% of them.
280,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 40% of them.
Biden wins!

North Carolina (Unchanged)
287,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 64% of them.

Pennsylvania
1,870,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 69% of them.
1,500,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 68% of them.
1,440,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 66% of them.
1,200,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 65% of them.
1,075,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 63% of them.
850,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 62% of them.

Wisconsin
650,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 60% of them.
102,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 40% of them.
Biden wins!

Nevada
194,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 49% of them.

Arizona (Likely already won by Biden)
450,000 votes outstanding. Biden needs 40% of them.

I tended to just watch stuff come in online and didn't watch any of the networks, but it's not surprising to me that Fox did a solid job of their coverage. Remember that time Megyn Kelly went down to talk to the nerds at the decision desk in person just to shut up Karl Rove's insistence that Ohio was going to swing for Republicans? Election night, they turn into a different beast.

I don’t think so. If it is tied, Kamala is the tie-breaker.

I don't know if it was mentioned about North Carolina, but apparently the reason they are waiting until November 12th to report final results is that they accept mail ballots until that day as long as they are post marked November 3rd or earlier.

So I take back my concern about them just wanting to buy time. I am not sure if they are going to count and report the ones that they already received. They probably should.

Pennsylvania is really about how much vote is outstanding. Lead is down to 200k and Biden is winning about 80% of the new votes being added.

That’s a crazy margin: basically Trump is getting 1 out of every batch of 5 votes...

I see people leaving Alberta too. I do understand and am tempted by that impulse, but maybe you should stay and fight for what you love?

Accusations of cheating are crazy. If true the Democrats would have won the Senate.

If it weren't for COVID and the mail in votes this would be a pretty normal close election. People defeating an unpopular president but not excited enough to give Biden everything. In states with Senate races, some undecideds may have split the ballot, R for House and Senate but D or blank of President.
