Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Arizona. Biden needs PA + Michigan + one of the other three, or Pennsylvania + all of the other three.
EDIT: Or all four except Pennsylvania, but that's highly unlikely.

That isn't even the biggest takeaway for me.
My issue is how much power Facebook has over our elections.
Social media in general actually.
Considering how much money is at play, obviously their policies are going to be geared towards getting the candidates to spend more and more and more.
And as a result we become more and more outraged. And the candidates spend more and more. Viscous cycle.

I think California swings it easily. New York is only 50% counted right now as well.
When all is said and done, I expect Biden to win the popular vote by at least 3 million, but Trump will still get more total votes than he did in 2016 due to the higher turnout.

I agree on the GOP Senate.
It is imperative that Biden wins then. With Trump gone, the GOP might remember who they were before he came around and start working with the Dems again.

Biden hasn't lost anything I expected him to win...there were a few toss ups I hoped for that would have ended it earlier. Florida is the only realistic one that Biden lost.
All along I have thought the rust belt would seal it for Biden and I feel the same. Save the "I tolda so's"
If I am wrong so be it, won't be the first time and I will eat crow

I wonder if that's a bit of urgency for the media ratings (US). If you tell people this likely isn't going to be decided tonight people will tune out until tomorrow.
Honey Canada don't give a ####.

Why are we thinking this right now given the Trump lead? Presumably the counties we're waiting for? It's hard to figure things out on my phone.

Idaho is too close to call on CNN........maybe it is right now, but let's face it, that state has way too many white supremacists to go blue.

Ohio would say otherwise.
Georgia still not out of the question for Biden.

Trump is ahead in Mahoning County. I can't see it swinging back to Biden if that holds.
In 2016 he lost it by 3 points.
EDIT:
Bit more reference. Obama won Mahoning by 27 points, Clinton by 3 points. Trump is now 2% ahead with 98% reporting. Huge swings.

Just keeping an eye on North Carolina; Trump had increased his lead up to over 100,000, but it's now back down to under 70,000. Democratic counties still being heard from there, even though the margin in those counties is less in the election-day vote than in mail in ballots.
I'm seriously still holding out faint hope.

No, this is silly. This is like saying Biden was leading in Florida when it was absolutely clear that that lead would likely vanish. None of these states will be ultimately decided tonight besides possibly Arizona, and I'm pretty skeptical about that.

Yeah, out of all the states Biden needs to win, he is only leading in Arizona.
Last year at this time it was widely swinging back to Trump. Things are just holding at this point.
