Try to wait, as painful as it is. This will be defining for next steps. It's the only reason I'm not passing out right now.

It ensures Pennsylvania is not necessary. Now MI+WI is 270.

Watching Santorum on CNN introducing the talking points -

Apparently the Governor of Pennsylvania has changed the rules twice in the last few days and it's just not fair to... Checks notes... Count the ballots.

I'm not sounding the alarm or anything but the Arizona lead has shrunk from 200,000 votes plus to 160,000.

So this may not seem all that important, but it is (I’ll get to why). In Nebraska’s 2nd district, there is that single electoral vote up for grabs—it’s basically Omaha and the surrounding area. Biden leads by 24,000 votes, about 53-45%, with 94% of the vote in.

That seems like it should be “callable” to me but the decision deals are being cautious. Either way that 1 EV looks like it will go to Biden.

What does that mean? In short it probably eliminates the 269-269 tie scenario. If Biden wins NE-2 he can win the election even if he loses Pennsylvania by winning Wisconsin and Michigan. That would be 270-268.

Imagine winning OH, FL and PA and Not winning the election. That would go against all typical election trends.

Biden win looks pretty likely

he will dominate the popular vote like I thought 4M+ more votes

I hoped for Florida and an early night but that was a tossup

Some optimism, if nothing else.

They're not casting votes, you orange moron. They're counting them. It's called an election in a democracy.

It couldn’t be as close as it is. Trump I think is more likely to retain power because Trump isn’t going to give up power (sorry- edit rephrase) and this is going to the Supreme Court, which Trump will be victorious after that decision is made.

Then the next step is eliminating term limits. But anyway, based on what you were going on about recently, I gotta say, you are more wrong that right I think. You made it sound like a slam dunk no brainer land slide victory and this is far from that man. Come on... out with it... just admit it.
