US Presidential Election 2020 Thread II - Judgement Day(s)

Francie Barrett

I am calling Wisconsin for Biden. Biden’s lead in Wisconsin has grown to 11,034. Awaiting only Kenosha which voted Trump 47.2% to Clinton 46.9% in 2016. If anything Biden should stretch his lead out further in Wisconsin. Put a fork in Wisconsin, it's done.

Oh thank god.

I am calling Michigan for Biden. Only have half the tallies for Detroit are in, and Biden has already erased the Trump lead. Michigan should be comfortable for Biden now.

People seem to be forgetting Maine which has 4 EC votes. I know it's small, but it's still not settled - Biden on 54% with about 75% of the vote counted. Wisconsin looks tight, but that looks like widening a lot as the rest of Milwaukee gets counted. So if AZ (11), NV (6), ME (4) and WI (10) go to Biden, that only leaves him needing 15 to get to 270.

Guardian ahve him on 238 With Arizona done

WI(10) and NV(6) plus if Michigan(16) turns, as it looks likely, were all done

I don't think there's any way back for trump in Wisconsin. It's just going to widen.

It's over. Done and dusted. Biden is president elect.

Nevada and the final EV from Maine, along with Wisconsin and Michigan, and Biden is on 270. We won't get anything from Nevada until tomorrow afternoon our time.

Edit, sorry, he'd be on 271, so he doesn't actually need that final EV from Maine.

Biden leads in Nevada with only postal votes (mostly Democrat) left to be counted. Nevada is Biden's almost certainly now.

At this stage it'd be another twist if Trump wins, everything in Bidens favour at the moment.

Betting odds are far from particularly accurate and Apologies as I know the thread was flooded with them earlier, but it's worth noting that Biden has gone from minor outsider early this morning to 1/3 odds on.

Might also just be a flood of money put on him as people make sense of the way votes are counted this year with some mail ins being counted late etc.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has surpassed Barack Obama’s 2008 popular vote total, breaking the record for most votes ever received by a candidate at a US Presidential Election.

If Biden wins he won't be inaugurated..

There has been a surge so.

Where are the trump supporters?

I feel like all of Trumps voters are now in and already calculated for him where as now we have mail in voters which appears to be in Democratic's favour so Bidens votes are increasing by the minute


This is why Trump was scared ****less earlier

Yeah that's what I've been seeing for the last few hours and why I was confused that Az was still being discussed.

Trumps lead in Michigan has now shrunk to 2200 votes, according to Decision Desk. And still plenty of mail/early votes to count.

One thing I really dont get is how having the candidate visit your state makes people vote for them. How incredibly fickle and also naive to thing it means anything

Trick as old as time, all comes back to pure tribalism.

It's more that if a candidate doesn't visit a state, people interpret that to mean that the candidate doesn't care about them. The more often he visits, the more he cares.

Being one of the last states the candidate visits before polling day means you're especially privileged and the candidate cares more about your state than others.

It's pure nonsense, but very common where the leader of the government is placed on a pedestal and considered a national institution in their own right.

So Biden doesn't need Georgia, North Carolina or Pennsylvania to win at this stage?

Well maybe the poster didn’t mean this, but literally I can’t imagine an inauguration ceremony happening in the same way as usual due to Covid. Trump would of course do it anyway.

Trump is now 9/4 on Paddy Power. Where are all those lads who were shouting I told you so when the bookies went behind Trump last night?
