    They really should be able to call Pennsylvania soon. Even before Georgia I'd say.
    More likely the end of the day for PA. GA could be over the weekend.

    More good news, Twitter have said that they will no longer consider him a "newsworthy individual" and that probably means that his account will get deleted the following days after Bidens inauguration and his next rage tweet.

    Yay! More censorship! This is a regressive step.

    The Democrats weaponised it. Were currently in lockdown and can't travel more than 5k to save the hospitals from being over run with Covid and the Flu. We've no flu it's disappeared but Covid is still traveling, did they swap flight tickets or something.

    Hopefully he gets to 290+ though, as then PA becomes an irrelevance, as does a lot of Trumps posturing and legal action

    An interesting take from PsychologyToday on why people support Trump:


    1. The Dunning-Kruger Effect

    Some believe that many of those who support Donald Trump do so because of ignorance — basically they are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand. When Trump tells them that crime is skyrocketing in the United States, or that the economy is the worst it’s ever been, they take his word for it.

    The seemingly obvious solution would be to try to reach those people through political ads, expert opinions, and logical arguments that educate with facts. Except none of those things seem to be swaying any Trump supporters from his side, despite great efforts to deliver this information to them directly.

    The Dunning-Kruger effect explains that the problem isn’t just that they are misinformed; it’s that they are completely unaware that they are misinformed. This creates a double burden.

    Studies have shown that people who lack expertise in some area of knowledge often have a cognitive bias that prevents them from realizing that they lack expertise. As psychologist David Dunning wrote in an op-ed for Politico, “The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb.

    trump received nearly 90% of the vote in 1 county in Wyoming and over 80% in many others.

    The below from the Guardian, looks like it will be one of the main Republican avenues of attack if/when Biden takes PA

    But Biden has just taken the lead and not a single one of those votes have been counted yet.

    They have been explicitly set aside until the end.

    So that argument has just died a permanent death in the last few minutes.

    Unless Trump wants them counted in case he can catch up?

    Remember now, it's not fraud if it favours Trump, it's simply democracy in action.

    Votes cast in person on Election Day went heavily to Trump across Pennsylvania.

    Postal votes are going heavily to Biden.

    This is simply a function of how Republicans and Democrats chose their method of voting and the order in which ballots are being counted.

    It also shows just how politicised Covid has been in the US that in-person voting is so heavily Republican and postal voting is so heavily Democrat.

    According to the analysts who've looked at the methods of voting, postal voting has been more popular among Democrats than Republicans, particularly in Pennsylvania, for years. Even so, the difference in voting methods has been especially stark this year.
