    That's the great unanswered question.

    Silly question, but mail in votes just counted last or what's the deal?

    Don't listen to the pollsters, listen to the statisticians:

    At no point was Trump favorite to win. If you can do no better than a 66% prediction and get it wrong it's a pretty pointless hobby tbh.

    CNN are starting to admit it's looking bad for Biden.

    CNN’s
    @JohnKingCNN
    just admitted that Joe Biden needs to win 75% of the remaining votes to overtake President Trump in Pennsylvania.

    Even went as far as saying “that’s a steep hill.”

    He actually needs to win more than that, probably 80% mimimum which is not going to happen. At best he'll win 60%. Pennsylvania is gone. And Georgia doesn't look much better.

    Every state is different. Florida count theirs as they come in so we have most of those results counted already. Pennsylvania doesn't start unsealing absentee ballots until the polls close, so they're just starting to be counted.

    Trump’s vote share has dropped slightly among white voters.
    He has made gains among non-white voters.

    Oh dear. Looks like the all the claims that Trump is a racist didnt work too well.

    Each state gets a certain amount of electoral college votes based on a census held every 10 years. So if you win a state you get all the votes of that state and not a proportion based on how much of the vote you won in the state. So in Florida trump gets all 29 electoral votes even though he only just won it. Biden gets nothing though he got close to winning it. The first to 270 wins.

    I've always said that the US is the least democratic democracy in the world.

    2016 came as no surprise to me.

    But this result has, even though the warning signs were there I guess, but I still expected Biden to win. He still could and I remain hopeful, it's too close to call, but its depressing to see a President in waiting wanting all out war if he does not get his way.

    2020 has been a year like no other.

    Biden has no chance in Pennsylvania. Your logic is correct.

    CNN have just admitted it. Expect RTE to admit it as well in around a week.

    I'm watching CNN and they've said no such thing.

    Were you even watching?

    Polls in Pa. closed 9 hours ago!

    That's not why they stopped counting. We all know why that was, but the gap is to big now to fix.

    It seems the threat of socialism really resonated in Miami Dade County where there's a large Cuban community and resonated with Hispanics in general.

    Democrats need a post mortem on what happened in Miami Dade

    It looks like these 2 candidates will end up with the most and 2nd most votes in history. Trump might finally beat an Obama record. :pac:

    Someone told you he was so that's what you think. Probably much the same way you "develop" all of your opinions.

    He will never beat Obama's record of deportations or drone bombings.

    Georgia is going to be very tight. About 400k votes to be counted mostly in democrat areas. Biden needs to win them 60-40. Its doable but will be close.

    The Trump lead in Georgia has dwindled from 300k to 100k in the last couple of hours as the mail in and other votes from Atlanta get counted.

    If Trump wins, then the Democrats could have run Jesus Christ and Trump would still have won.

    lol.

    I'm sure you believe that. It just doesn't make it so.

    the word racist has lost all meaning because of overuse and misuse.
