    Fox News called Arizona for Biden very early on. It's turned out to be a lot more competitive, but Fox haven't retracted it.

    Fox stuck to their guns after the incorrect early call of Arizona yesterday. Someone else explained how this happened, IIRC a media outlet (AP perhaps?) reported that 96% of votes had been counted in AZ instead of 86%, which led the media to assume that Biden's lead there was insurmountable given the low number of votes left to count. The AP subsequently retracted and corrected this, but for some reason Fox has refused to do so.

    Trump really needs a Malcolm Tucker on his team

    Tucker would not tolerate Trump's horsesht and Trump is so fragile that he can only have yes people on his team.. so it would be a very short appointment in deed!

    Too many talking heads on Fox with their whacky opinions. John King at the big board is much better.

    John King on the board for 3 nights running is starting to do my head in.

    Currently Fox News are crying about thousands of postal ballots that were sent to the wrong addresses. Priceless entertainment. :D

    I'm confident Biden will win it as he's winning big in Reno and Vegas but there's still 13% to be counted.

    Btw, I'm not from there. Funny how Roscommon, Michigan voted Trump and Roscommon, Ireland voted against gay marriage though. They may have a lot in common. :D

    Those fookers are always trying to trip us Mayo folk up. ;)

    I am not allowed discuss …

    I’m watching CNN. They have Biden at 253 but other news outlets have Biden with 264.

    Is the difference Arizona?

    Of course, the Trumpeteers have a different take on this seemingly honest mistake by AP:

    only the opinion people. the regular news people on fox, although certainly right biased don't seem to support trump much, particularly the last few months.

    Correct. This election will ultimately hinge on Arizona IMO. I don't see PA or GA flipping to Biden the way others do and I definitely don't think Trump has a snowball's hope in hell of flipping NV. So ultimately it's going to depend on whether AZ flips or not.

    How else would you describe the actions of someone who is actively trying to stop counting in states he is losing?

    You'd call those actions desperate.

    What are Trump supporters' accusations exactly? That the postal vote is subject to fraud on a level disproportionate to the number of postal votes cast in the election? No-one disputes that electoral fraud happens, but does it happen in such a coordinated way and in such a high number?

    You're never going to convince these people of anything else, anyway. They're starting off from the assumption that the whole establishment is out to take Trump down. That's an unshakable truth to them, and they must alter their perceptions of reality to remain consistent with it.

    If Fox want to mend their GOP bridges they should take a punt and call Georgia for Trump now.

    I really don't get their emotion on that one.

    It's not like Fox calling it makes it official.

    Do they think that the Vote count stops because Fox changed a graphic??

    Biden will win PA with ease in the end imo.

    It helps to rile up the base.

    I think they don't like that it makes Trump's position look weaker, and that he's further behind and therefore not worth supporting in terms of Trump's challenges.

    Some people are betting on Kamala Harris as next president, anyone know why?

    She was 1000 (999/1) up until today (on Betfair). I noticed she moved to 880 a short while ago. She's now down to 400.

    Edit: She's now down to 200
