About a third of the vote in Detroit yet to be counted, where Biden leads 2-1 at this point. It's going to go up massively once those votes get counted.
Yeah, I'm just anxious. It's been a long night and day, full of twists and turns. I'm a bit worn out.

Only happened 3 times in history hasnt it?
More often than you think. No one won re-election between Washington and Lincoln, then Johnson didn’t get to run for his 2nd term, then it’s a mixed bag for most of the late 19th/early 20th century, until Roosevelt ‘s 4 consecutive terms drilled the idea of being comfortable with incumbency into people. Since then, only Carter and Bush Snr. can be said to lose re election with incumbent advantage.

Alright now this is a test

Bush.- 1992
Carter - 1980
Ford - 1976
Hoover - 1932
Roosevelt - 1908 (kind of, should not really count)
Cleveland -1888
Van Buren - 1840
John Quincy Adams - 1828
John Adams.- 1800
Pretty sure Lincoln and JFK didn't get re-elected too.

Arizona down to 93K lead, 86% in.
What’s left to count there? It could conceivably still revert red ...?
If that's the true reporting figure, Trump will win there. They counted mail ballots first I believe. Seems to be some huge issues re reporting from Arizona mind, so not sure what to believe.

Where’s this massive discrepancy in AZ count coming from? Some saying 84% others saying 98%?

And fox calling it was likely a big factor in triggering the orange cnutfact to go insane on live TV.
A FB "friend" went on a tirade when Fox announced AZ last night, calling them corrupt and against Trump. He then stated he had switched to newsmaxtv, a more extreme echo chamber.

AP has called AZ, it's fine.

No. Lots of Phoenix ballots still to come. Biden's lead will probably increase a bit there. AP called it hours ago and with good reason.

I've been wondering about this all night and how they're figuring. They probably start with some estimate of total turnout, but do they update it and how? It's starting to matter for the outlook for these states
