Pennslyania must recent batch of votes (103,366) fell 78% Biden 22% Trump, About 900k to 1 million left and if they fall in same proportion Biden wins by 130,000. If Georgia goes the way I urban and the last update of rural votes has gone that is 320k-35k win for Biden too, Trump is getting North Carolina.

It could end up an inverse of 2016 in terms of EC count.

Trump on 214 , with NC and AK in his column , taking him to 232 , Clintons 2016 Total

Biden on 248 with MI,PA,NV and GA in his column taking him to a potential 306..

Interesting indeed..

One things for sure; if it wasn't already obvious across the American cultural landscape, the electoral map sbows the Urban-Rural divide is alive, well and as entrenched as ever. With all the liberal-conservative gulf that implies. Obviously a winner takes all election hides the subtleties within demographics, counties and so on, but on a national levels things seems as partisan as ever.

NV, PA and GA potentially, networks might not call them, but it should be pretty obvious to us watching. PA is probably the biggest prize for Biden as he slowly overturns Trump's in-person vote lead!

Michican is pretry certain at this point for Biden but Pennsylvania is the key, if Biden can manage to flip it in his favour this contest is done without a doubt as thats one of the big catches.

I would agree. It looks like it pretty much all comes down to Pennsylvania at this point and by the sounds of things it may even be tomorrow before we know the outcome.

Biden has routes to take to win that do not include PA.

Overall I think it has turned out pretty well that Trump is trailing in a few states and hoping for late counts to turn things around. If it was just Biden chasing then I feel there would be more attempts to stop all voting.

A win for Biden in Nevada, Michigan and he's President.

I have a bad feeling that this could still turn but it's looking a lot better compared to yesterday.

Still looking to learn more about a lawsuit to “halt counting” in Michigan. Anyone else learn more about this?

So Joe Bidden is now the most popular candidate in US history as he has won more votes than any candidate in US history so it's only right that he should become the 46th President of the USA.

When the Civil War was lost, Southern Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan to lynch Republicans and freed black people.

The Republican party and the Democratic Party have switched sides and values so many time in there history you would need a mile long chart to show it all

A crowd of Trump "observers" are now demonstrating inside the count centre in Detroit, MI and Giuliani heading to PA alleging massive cheating...

Several election "Monitors" were removed due to intimidating behaviour inside the count Hall.

Now they are not letting anymore in (dunno how manynif any are in there) and there is a crowd outside demand to be allowed inside, the police are stopping them.

Trump now calling for counting to cease until election "monitors" are allowed back inside the hall.

Live on sky now.

it's right that he should become the 46th president of the usa cos that's how elections should work, but he's probably the least 'popular' in terms of people primarily voting against the other candidate and only for him by method

For whatever reason Nevada results will not come in until around noon Eastern time tomorrow which is 5:00 p.m. our time??

Lincoln may have been against slavery it does not mean he thought them the same as the "white man" in fact a plan he had thought of using was the Back to Africa movement where all blacks would be rounded up and transported to Africa as the 2 would not be able to live together

Just waiting for the armed "monitors" to show up now.

Biden doesn't need PA. Which is good, because he won't win it IMO

The crux of their argument seems to be that their "tallymen" or whatever they are called there didn't have access to all of the ballots in all of the locations that they wanted meaning that they didn't get the chance to challenge potentially flawed votes.

Not sure of the validity of the argument , sounds a bit weak to me but that's the angle thus far.

And Trump the 2nd most popular?

Its the highest turn out in history, so of course the winner will break records

Weird alright, though I wonder if it’s a strong statement from them since it’s a tight one at an important time with a lot of pressure on it - basically “don’t push us for a result - we’ll be done when we’re done”.

Trump 3rd right now I think.

Biden has just surpassed Obamas total.

Can't see them getting PA done or close to it even in the next 6 hours tbh
Or Nevada actually given they said they won't be giving any updates before 9am local time tomorrow

I'd agree that given the margin of the lead its an uphill task for him but you gotta give him his due, he is hitting the vote share he needs to so that he could eek it out.

ZeroThreat

If Biden squeaks in with just 270 electoral votes I can't see Trump ever conceding in any circumstance.

Brian?

I just threw on OAN for the craic, they are accepting a Trump loss and talking about him running again in 2024 with Nigel Farage. Bizarro world.

Surely Michigan will be called for Biden soon?

99% of votes in and he leads by almost 38 thousand votes.

Mr.Nice Guy

Some encouragement for Biden in Georgia:

How's that supposed to work?
