I think Nevada is a lock tbh. A lot of mail votes to come in Vegas with a 8k lead.CNN seem to be not calling it yet, also squeaky bum time in Nevada.

Yeah. Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan would do it without needing PA and GA.With Michigan pretty much save, this would mean victory, right?
If Biden can hold Arizona, win GA or win PA yes.With Michigan pretty much save, this would mean victory, right?

Noooo. The Feck happened?!
Does anyone have any insight into this.. can he surge with the remaining ballots?
I guess as an independent he'd take away votes from the GOP so he's got my blessing to do that.He'll bitch and moan about a made up scandal, say that the election was stolen by socialist communist fascists. Then he'll rile up 50% of the population to the point where they want to shoot some innocent person on the street, before quietly leaving the White House without any complaint. Then he'll set up his own news network where his family can make millions off of the back of division and hatred. And at some point lots of people will get hurt and, maybe, he or his son will run in four years as an independent depending on how well his TrumpNewsCorp does.
Sancho flashbackParanoid.
It's a done dealio.
I'd love for him/son/daughter run on an Indie ticket in 2024 - that would siphon a huge percentage of RWNJs and likely deliver the Dem nom a win.He'll bitch and moan about a made up scandal, say that the election was stolen by socialist communist fascists.

Of course he can. Even assuming that only 3% of the votes are remaining, that is still 150k votes. He just needs to win 70k out of them.Tweet

United are starting in a while if you are looking for some excitement.......................... oh waitGetting a bit boring all this ain't it?
And that's why I said it doesn't look like Trump can win MI. It comes down to NV and PA. Biden has the better odds.No chance of that happening. He's getting battered in Detroit and only 75% of the votes are counted there. Most likely Biden will stretch the lead, whilst the small counties are already at 95-99%.
Looks like the Republicans will retain the Senate and might even get the House.Biden will win, but a clear Senate majority is less...clear.
Seems to be a mix of thinking Biden is a socialist and his mental acuity. Can envisage the Democrat side doing what happened to Labour and try to go further to the left (AOC) and end up doing way worse.Does this election indicate that majority of Americans absolutely hate progressive politics and Democrats moving towards the centre more and more is necessary for their survival?
Or is it as simple as they love Trump.
He does not need GA or PA. The path is clear: Arizona (called by AP), Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan. That sends him to 270.If Biden can hold Arizona, win GA or win PA yes.

I totally agree.My reading is that the economy is what people care about most, while social issues (abortion, guns, LGBT) are not as important for the election as people think. Dems possibly need to redefine themselves and talk less about identity politics while trying to attach themselves to the middle-class. Without covid, Trump would have won this easily, and there won't be covid in 4 years.
What about the 4th electoral vote in Maine?He does not need GA or PA. The path is clear: Arizona (called by AP), Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan. That sends him to 270.
Well, Maine too but that is gonna happen.
No.Looks like the Republicans will retain the Senate and might even get the House.

Ultimately though, the economy was a priority for voters and before the pandemic they were doing pretty well. If the pandemic didn't happen, Trump would probably have won 2020 comfortably.
Yeah that's a fair point. Although I don't think Boris is that right winged in all honesty. He just goes with whatever he thinks will bolster his career which is worse for me. He wrote many articles in his column years ago about how the single market was good for UK business. Then he takes us out. Can't trust people like that.Conventionally yes, but not sure about our current Tory administration. Our conservatives in recent years have veered a fair bit further to the right (but still to the left of GOP cons).
If you believe that a model is right because it got the output right, I have one of two dart throwing monkeys to sell you. The final Electoral College tally according to the final 538 averages would have been 348-190. There is no chance Biden gets to that number. Polls in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio were off by up to 10 percentage points. Poll data is unreliable so the models are wrong, GIGO.And if they end up predicting the right result within the state margin of error in the majority of states, how do you explain that? Garbage models tend to be wrong much more often that they're right, and very accurate models tend to be wrong a few times and right most of the time. Which category do you think they will fall into?
I'd say the bigger problem is models are designed to make complicated problems look simple. So people read them in a simplistic way, because of course I can read that one number they've boiled down from thousands of numbers, and misinterpret the findings. So we might agree that sharing the polling numbers with the public is a garbage idea, just for very different reasons.
And they are claiming electoral fraud. Absolute state of Trump.Tweet

The economy is what Trump supporters say they care about the most. The data says it's nowhere near as important for Biden's voters.My reading is that the economy is what people care about most, while social issues (abortion, guns, LGBT) are not as important for the election as people think. Dems possibly need to redefine themselves and talk less about identity politics while trying to attach themselves to the middle-class.

Thanks, that's reassuring.For people still worried about AZ, AP have explained why they called it here - https://apnews.com/article/ap-explains-race-calls-0b1988605f9101f4b799fc63b01e0090
Essentially, still mail ballots to come in in Maricopa and they don't see enough Trump vote to overtake the current margin.

He projects a lot.And they are claiming electoral fraud. Absolute state of Trump.
What's the deal with different agencies reporting a different count for Biden? BBC and CNN have had him stuck on 224 for hours, yet this tweet and Politico are including Arizona and Maine? I don't get itTweet
