    So... no Biden landslide ?

    Far too early say anything yet.

    Well it is not too early to say Biden has probably lost Florida.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,528 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    65% of Florida votes reported.

    How do they do it so quick?

    Biden's initial numbers looked great in Florida, but in Miami Dade (the biggest county in Florida by a mile) his vote has collapsed. I don't think he can make up 300k votes in the rest of Florida.

    It seems like your jumping the gun there though, if the votes they are discussing in Miami Dade is on the day vote it's not a big deal, if it's the early and abstenee vote it's a massive blow to Bidens chance of taking Florida.

    He needs to do some serious damage elsewhere to win the state unless he is taking 60% of the Miami Dade vote.

    Well he's gonna win the popular vote by 4% even if everything goes well for Trump.


  • Registered Users Posts: 571 ✭✭✭rosser44


    I did some misreading earlier. Trump is way up in Miami Dade compared to last time. The panhandle is still open. Trump will win by by more this time than 2016. :/

    Trump apparently tweeting that Biden is a Casto fan seems to be coming to fruition in Dade county with cuban Americans

    But you could also say he's probably won it too.

    It's too early.

    Well with Florida looking like going to Trump - so much for an early night!

    Palm Beach Co. much better for Biden. He needs to run up those numbers to offset Miami-Dade


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,234 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Miami-Dade early voting totals not yet counted.

    Early in-person counted. Early mail/absentee not counted.
    That's what will lean blue.

    It looks like Cubans in Miami came out massively in favour of Trump. Everywhere else though, Biden is ahead of 2016, so that augurs well for Biden in other states. It won't be a landslide, but I still think Biden wins this election....

    They’ve been counting them prior to Election Day. The early votes and mail in ones I mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,274 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    This is bewildering in Florida. Its like the Epsom Derby.

    Don't get what people's problem is with Blitzer.

    He's more in the background.

    I'm not a CNN fan but I like how they present Election night. Plenty of info and well presented.

    That he keeps shouting over John like an excited school child when he knows well this is gonna swing back and forth all night.

    Don't forget Florabama (The Panhandle) is still to come in at 1am

    No excuse tbh. If you told me that people from Dundalk have 6 fingers on each hand I'm not going to believe you. Because I know that that's people from Drogheda.

    He's being directed to do that and get him to move along.

    Blitzer is only talking about 10% of the time.

    They had the mail in and early voting tabulated already.

    No reporting from Orange County (Orlando) yet. This has some way to run yet.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,274 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Biden will hold Miami Dade lads.

    With the panhandle still to vote.
    He's got a 100k lead in Miami Dad compared to a 300k lead in 2016 for H-Dawg. FL is done. Christ I really hope it's not the start of half a dozen disappointments leading to another 4 feckin years.
