The worst part of tonight is that Trump and the GOP will not get the ass whooping they needed and deserved.

Looks like someone else will take the baton and move on with Trumpism.

There's about a 350,000 spread to make up in Georgia for Biden, and if the greater Atlanta area stays on trend, a possible half million votes for Biden to be counted. Very possible that Biden makes up the gap if the numbers are at all accurate/indicative.

Biden announcement might be interesting. Most likely just a please stay calm message though.


Did CNN get 2016 really wrong? They are almost afraid to call States.

Fox has called Iowa for Trump. Also calling Joni Ernst to retain her senate seat.

CNN: Biden 205, Trump 136
Fox News: Biden 227, Trump 210
MSNBC: Biden 205, Trump 136
Associated Press: Biden 209, Trump 118

Doing a quick count, and assuming that Biden stays at 80% with 100% reporting, that would net Biden an additional 493000 votes.

You can double BIden's Philadelphia numbers expecting high Biden numbers, but that won't be enough to combat rural Pennsylvania where many places are still at 50%.

It's not enough.

Yeah, Donald Trump Jr. is probably that guy.

I hope someone randomly finds a lap top of his with emails that lay out all his crimes.

It was 85% Trump earlier in the evening. That needle methodology needs some work.

Imagine Biden winning Arizona and Georgia and losing the election. Incroyable.

I don't think anyone else is offering an outcome prediction that I've seen.

Going to run out of them, but thanks for the ongoing aggregate counts for us single screen simpletons.

This is a good article to read on Pennsylvania.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...lection-night/

It really gives you the scale of the potential swing.

Looks very close with the numbers in the article.

Quote:
That means we could be looking at a situation where Trump has about a 16-point lead, 58 percent to 42 percent, based on approximately 60 percent of the total expected vote. But over the course of the next few days — again, assuming the same pattern we observed in the primary — Biden would win two-thirds of the remaining votes, which would precipitate a 21-point shift in the overall margin from 3 a.m. on election night to the final result, as the chart below shows.

I just want everyone to know that I called it first.

Small people have to claim their small victories.

No clue.

Estimated 3.25M votes left to count.

Allegheny (Pittsburgh) is only 17% in and the split is 80-18 Biden. That is 450K votes all by itself. Philadelphia (Philadelphia) is 40% in and the split is 74-24, projecting a 425K gain. Delaware in 60-40 with 60% of the vote in and that trends to 70K advantage. There are more than enough votes out there for Biden to win this, and win it going away. Again, rural vote is easier to confirm and report, so it is always in first.

In all fairness, it was pretty funny.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but Biden has pulled ahead in the national popular vote. That lead will likely grow as vote from more populous states rolls in. I would not be surprised if at the end of the day he is close to that projected 6-7 point margin.

If Trump somehow wins it will likely be the biggest divide between electoral college and popular vote that the US has ever seen.
