That's without the inevitable recounts and legal battles too.
I guess this'll be a large part of the 370k/550k difference from earlier.
Always thought there was something odd about Kimmich.
It's in cricket match territory now.
Could it be they states are intentionally drawing out the process to soften the blow and avoid any civil unrest?

Those lunatics wouldve been traitors on behalf of the English crown in the war for independence with that kind of thinking. They literally want a royal family.
Yeah, Cohn sticks more to figuring out what's what based on actual votes coming in on the night, and he does seem pretty good at it. The needles, and therefore their underlying models, are pretty good once they start to get actual vote data.
Good stuff. Hereby I call GA to Biden.
Nevada and Arizona have wasted their moment of glory. Could have been decisive but by the time they are done Biden will have taken Pennsylvania and Georgia.

What is actually causing the slowness in Arizona and Nevada? Like, I don’t get it. Does anyone have real insight?
So Pennsylvania secretary of state hates Trump. Hopefully she is trying to get the votes counted quickly so that Pennsylvania is the one that gives him the final L
South park did quite a good episode about this, the hypocrisy of the modern day American Christian, where Jesus didn't like what they were doing, and they in turned locked up Jesus and planned to execute him. It was one of their Easter specials.
There was something about not being able to legally count the votes until tomorrow, I think that was in Nevada. I might be wrong though
Needle was extremely helpful early on, and betting Florida and NC for Trump was nice, whilst having a large position on Biden. Nothing better than +ev-hedge!
Just read on BBC PA is aiming to be done by Friday? I swear someone on here said they’re hoping to be done today?
This is a shitshow at this stage.

Those needles can go feck themselves. They were absolutely terrible.
This election is certainly pissing Watters off 
It's always slow but because these states are in the spotlight and there is no call yet in PA, they are in the spotlight.
@WI_Red i love you guys for pulling out the big W so early for biden, but Pennsylvania is such a temptress that im wavering.
To be fair I think PA have said it would take until the Friday after the election.
No they always said Friday but today they said they're trying to get them done tonight.
Wait what?
I watched Fox News for 10 mins - couldn't take anymore. It was full of dark hints of voter fraud.
Even now, they can't handle the truth that Trump is gone.

Their secretary of state said it could be done by today.
And what’s up with NC? Feels like they haven’t done anything for about two days.
No one wants the title as the state that won Biden the election. They'll be redirecting their entire 2021 budget towards the inevitable lawsuit.
Reacted very well early-on on FL and NC. And after the mistake in GA reporting was corrected turned blue also before most estimates.
FBI should be looking into this.
Yeah good point too. I forgot about that state!
Yep, I meant that they said before the election it would take until Friday. They have been consistent (broadly) with that.
So much for peaceful transition of power.
The longer this goes on, the more anger can build up

Why is everyone moaning about the counting? Everyone was warned for weeks and weeks that we would have extra delays this year, due to over 100 million ballots being cast before election day and lots of states had to extend the voting deadlines for mail-in ballots.
Do you mean from a prediction or model standpoint, or just psychologically?
Trump making a statement in 40 mins
I think the fox news election team calls PA in the next big update. They give no fecks about saving trump.
To all the folks saying that they're annoyed that Trump got so many votes; just be grateful that you didn't have a Brexit Referendum/Tory Majority UK Election scenario.
Besides, as Fox are already doing; with Trump gone the center will shift a little bit further away from the right, and right wing news sources like Fox will go back to be right wing instead of extreme right wing. Biden is a normaliser, and the Republicans will probably go for someone less mad than Trump next time. Fox News will tell their viewers that Biden is a commie devil, sure, but they won't have to echo Trump's fascist-like musings just to keep him on side anymore. You can already see them discarding him and basing their entire narrative on what he would think of it.
I wish we had that in the UK - a way for our politics to shift back into the center for a little bit. The REAL center, not this right wing shite that everyone just thinks is the center now because we've been slowly pushing away from the left for the last couple of decades. (Actually I wish we were left wing, but beggars can't be choosers)

Yeah, I gave it my best shot, but I'm done with Fox News. Shitloads of unsubstantiated claims of fraud and people yelling on top of each other. I have no idea how people can watch tripe every day.
