Looks like this is going as predicted - Trump ahead in certain states with postal votes yet to count. This could get quite bitter indeed.

Very tight, if Biden gets Wisconsin and Michigan then it makes Pennsylvania a little less important.

The red mirage eh?

Biden now ahead in Wisconsin? It now makes sense as to why a sitting President can declare victory while counting remains ongoing and says he'll be taking it to the supreme court to have them stop the counting. Ordinarily between rational candidates this would be democratic blasphemy but with Trump it has become normalised chaos. Throw in the expected electoral fraud claims and it’s why he just has to be ousted for some sense of normality.

It's worth noting that in terms of the count process, votes cast yesterday get counted first and mail-in ballots get counted last.

We already know that democrats cast 50% more mail-in ballots then republicans.

This is why Trump is so eager to declare fraud and try to stop the counts early.

Wisconsin now at a 30,000 difference from 3mn votes - Trump up by 1% with 5% left to be counted.

Biden now leading by 8,000 with 95% still reporting.

As things currently stand:

Biden ahead in Nevada and Wisconsin = 16 electoral votes putting him at 254

Trump ahead GA, NC, PA, MI = 67 electoral votes putting him at 280

Biden needs to claim NV and WI and win MI or else this is Trumps.

At present Biden is on a confirmed 244 (giving him NV here) so he needs 26 - with 46 on the table from WI,MI and PA all of which he is absolutely in the mix for. So he needs 2 out of those three to win.

If Biden takes them by a large enough margin it might limit the legal options.

I *think* that you can only look for recounts etc. when the margin is less than 0.5% or something like that.

Although more counting is not really with Trump is looking for right now.


One way or another we are looking at at least 2 weeks of litigation on this with suit and counter suit going back and forth.

If it does end up being settled in court as looks likely , whoever wins is going to have a huge "legitimacy" question hanging over them from a huge swathe of the country.

It would make PA irrelevant.

Looking at the AP predictions and results it's very difficult to believe the pro biden posts still holding out hope.
I went to bed at 5am very happy with POTUS's performance and wake up to hear he has taken Iowa too. This one is gonna be a win for the donald, but with less EC votes than the 306 last time. We knew this, as AZ switched to blue.

Giving most states that are tagged as red by AP currently to Trump, we get a 280 to 260 result. A 20pt delta.

It varies from state to state, Biden had a huge lead early in some due to them counting mail in first, while some that Trump took big leads in early didn't count mail in until last (and some are still counting mail ins as best I know).

Biden now only needs Wisconsin, Nevada and Georgia.

It's going to be very tight, but at the moment, it's looking like biden might pip it

Now they're saying WI 89% reporting. Bit off with their estimates it would seem.

sdanseo

Morning all. Jasus almost nothing changed in 5 hours despite all the things that happened.

No chance by my estimation that Biden wins WI. He's less than 15k votes ahead with around 55k left to count, all in counties which are red by several points. I fear it's mathematically impossible now no matter how good the mail ins.

Georgia is a dead duck - 102k vote lead for Trump with 1% left which is only around 50k votes total. Lost cause.

All going to come down to PA. Guess we'll know by Friday.

Blanco100

Trump needs to run up a larger surplus in Milwaukee to take WI. Remaining counties will go red.

Edit: Milwaukee numbers are complete so no further surplus.

Id expect Trump to make up the 10k votes in WI, as remaining counties are usually red.

I'd have thought GB would be red? (Purely basing this on the 100% white, flag waving NFL fans)

circadian

I think WI has to be within 1% to allow for a recount, it's in that realm and I'd be certain if Biden wins Trump will request a recount while banging on about fraud.

Whatever the result of the election I don't think it's over, expect more demonstrations and confrontations.

It’s not about the county overall but it’s remaining uncounted ballots. Those are basically only early votes at this stage which means they could break for Biden

Correct, Green Bay is mostly republican from what I see.

No God doesn't change the votes. He changes the voters silly.
