There’s so many splits between early votes and day of counts that things are impossible to forecast.

There's no denying what Trump is good at. The problem was that you gave an unqualified "smarter", which is ambiguous. In that general sense it was a silly thing to say. The guy is a trainwreck of general and emotional intelligence.

Odds on bet365 swung pretty hard in Trumps favour.

I mean, he is dumb, you can see it by the way he tries to do the actual job. You're trying to pin his intelligence on the ability to win a campaign, but he's borderline mentally deficient when actually doing anything.

So you hang on to that little nugget, and the rest of us can use the entire example.

Wait, Fox has Biden at 78% to win Georgia.

This is incredibly fascinating.

The betting sites are going to bounce around as people try to interpret it on the fly.

Trump ahead 260k votes in Virginia, and still 300k left to call in Fairfax, which went 2-1 for Hillary in 2016.

Chris Christie was saying Trump by 1 or 2 in Ohio based on results and their polling.

That would be in line with polling averages, 538 had Trump by .6%. So a 1-2% error in Trumps favour which would be good for other rust belt states.

I think things are looking good for Biden overall to win. Even with how smart Trump is.

What is terrifying me right now is that it will look as if Trump is winning or competitive for some time as so many of those early votes are taking a while to count in many places.

What Trump and the GOP mailmen might do with a rapid swing of fortune is scary.

I mean, all that matters in an election is winning. That's the point. That takes something. I don't know what it is.

I'm not happy about this, btw.
