In GA, the difference is down to 14,100 votes now, and the senate race is headed for a run-off by a margin of less than 150 votes.

Biden also seems to be taking Philly mail-in votes by a huge margin.

PA is looking really good for Biden even if the gains slow at this point. There's a ton of votes left and the gap is pretty narrow.
 
Trump Tweets

All of the recent Biden claimed States will be legally challenged by us for Voter Fraud and State Election Fraud. Plenty of proof - just check out the Media. WE WILL WIN! America First!

STOP THE FRAUD!

Big legal win in Pennsylvania!

Whatever the states certify as the result will stand no matter how much posturing he does

Shouldn't this just be appended to his Twitter handle by now?

I want that to be the Trump Presidential Library. Just a nice granite slab that reads "Some or all of this content does not meet the standards of this community" with some benches around it. Maybe a reflecting pool because those are always nice.

Wouldn't any kind of education be considered "ideological subversion" then? You know, like Sunday School and parental instruction.

Yes, that's basically the grit of it. As a bonus, since this inevitably gets applied by various sides in often mutually exclusive ways, there gets to be an added layer of complacency about whether or not any position is accurate or useful.

Republicans fight to keep critical thinking classes out of education, but want to talk about ideological subversion....

What's going on with North Carolina. Looks like voting stalled out yesterday and hasnt been updated since?

There's something like 117K mail in ballots that haven't been accounted for and can take up to a week to certify the results. I'd assume it's just a formality but it's a Trump win. Biden would need basically all of them.

Biden expands NV lead slightly, slowly tightens up PA throughout the morning, and tightens up GA.

I did some of the same calculations I was doing last night, and they show improvement in PA and Nevada, but they are getting to the point where roundoff error is significant. I don't know if "88% remaining" is 87.6% or 88.3%. When it's in the 90s, that becomes really crucial.

And then there are where the votes are, and how many haven't arrived by mail, and is it a "received by" state or a "postmarked by" state?

In short, there's not much point in those calculations at this point. I might have to find a more detailed site....or, I could just ignore it? Nah.


What does seem clear to me is that all four states that are outstanding now are heading for recounts. (Does anyone really believe that AK or NC is still in play?)

ETA: And Geogia is a "fix by" state. What I mean by that is that if your absentee ballot arrives, but it's booted for a signature mismatch or other technicality, the elections board is supposed to contact the voter, and they have until tomorrow to fix the problem and get the vote counted.

I wonder if the list of voters whose ballots were rejected on technicalities is available to campaigns. If so, Biden ought to be recruiting as many people as possible in Georgia to hunt down those people and get them to go fix their ballots.

the flip side of the coin is that it backfires, because the electorate finally wakes up to the obstruction of the GOP, and votes the bums out

If the events of the last four years ... not to mention the last four weeks, haven't sufficed to do that, then just what do you think the Repugnicans would have to do to reach this tipping point you imagine?

And obstructionism is the least of the perfidities they have sunk to.

Ahh, I see. Makes sense.

I heard that Biden's people don't consider NC very attainable. They're more interested in GA and PA right now.
