Michigan and Wisconsin are now declared Biden. Holy shit this is coming down to the wire, Arizona Nevada and Pennsylvania are huge toss up
I'm prepared to bet that Biden will get Arizona and Nevada. Not sure about Penn though. Even with ballot voting, Trump still has a noticable lead.

...and Georgia and NC.
Oh fuck, hey, Gary Peters is 1000 votes ahead in Michigan they’re absolutely doing a recount and are gonna steal it.
Edit: an explanation. If a stronger senate majority is at stake, Republican donors and insiders will be much more willing to throw their lot in with Trump and have the Supreme Court decide the election.

Just wanna say, if Trump wins PA, NC, and GA, Biden with Nevada wins the election literally by a single electoral vote.

In such a case, I propose we blame Nebraska for anything bad that happens in the next four years.

Another 70,000 votes counted in PA, and Trump's lead shrinks 30k. That's a 5:2 vote distribution, which is good news for Biden.



Yes, congratulations to Wisconsin for having more people vote in 2020 than were registered to vote in 2018.
Based on Snopes


According to the Wisconsin Election Commission, the “State of Wisconsin had 3,684,726 active registered voters on November 1, 2020.” It’s unclear where the “3,239,920” number shown in the above-displayed tweet comes from. As of this writing, The New York Times reports that a total of “3,296,836” votes have been cast in Wisconsin. In either case, the number of votes counted does not exceed the number of registered voters.

Based on the BBCs present numbers for the count.

It would seem like 3,311,655. people will have actually voted so that would be somewhat more realistic possibly. So yeh the voter numbers would be off you're right.

Nevada looks to be the main decider BBC has 7,800 votes in it with ~190,000 votes left to count.

This if no other state flips and it comes down to Nevada it's going to see recounts.

Ah, well. Nevada has 6 electoral college votes, and if it sticks Democrat would put Joe Biden (plus WI and Michigan) on 270. Which means a tie is possible.

That would, if I remember rightly, probably result in a Biden-Pence presidency.

A tie goes to the state representatives and there are 26 Republicans and 24 Democrats

By the map I'm looking at, all Biden needs to do now is win Nevada and he'll have won.

If it’s a 270 end (which would be a 270-268 victory for Biden) this is why. Fuck the Dems for abandoning this kinda guy for their bullshit culture wars.
Wait I thought 269 was the tie number. The results would actually be 270/268 if Biden got 270

This is what I was saying earlier. All things hold, Biden wins by 1 electoral vote, and we blame Nebraska for everything that goes wrong.

Okay so what maps are you guys checking? I'm looking at Yahoo, MSNBC and CNN and all of them show Trump leading in the remaining swing states, some by upwards of a million votes.

So even if Biden wins, yesterday was a pretty big loss for the core dem party, that it even got to this state against Trump, and if the senate doesn't flip. But you know who won?
