I do get it. I’m a stark raving hypocrite.

My girl is a Kiwi. Whenever we travel I claim to be a Kiwi too when we meet people. It’s nothing like a racial issue, but I literally claim to be something I’m not on half of my holidays.

I swung for the fences full of emotion and feel I ended up getting walked to first base.

Every day is a lesson.

The 9000 overseas vote doesn't mean that 9000 votes will still come in. It might be zero, if every overseas and military voter posted their ballots so that it arrived by November 3.

Nor will it necessary mean it will be heavily in favour of Trump.

I know the military traditionally tends to favour the GOP, but I can't imagine Trump being tremendously popular with them, not after the scandal of the Russian bounties on US soldiers, or insulting McCain's service, or any of the dozens of inflammatory comments he's made about the military.

Think Biden loses AZ, but that should be fine.

Plenty of margin to pad out in PA. Basically guaranteed to be bigger than, for example, the amount Trump beat Clinton last time.

Based on what? I thought the batch of ballots that came in that was supposed to boost Trump ended up being a damp squib?

Probably very similar. College educated white voters in urban hubs still favour the Dems.

Edit: Unless you're asking how it would look if it were only showing minority votes?

The entire, vast funding of the US military is socialist - i.e. not funded privately, but paid for out of taxation and available on demand, free at the point of delivery.

Essentially, many republican voters don't even understand or know what socialism is - they just use it as bogeyman word.

Being pro private health care as a badge of honour is a mindset I don't think you can understand unless you're born and raised in it.

This will be an interesting dataset to dig into once it is publicly available. I don't have the time to scrape each state/counties vote tallies (they are all in different formats) but I am guessing someone will upload them to Kaggle at some point.

That's not true. A lot of folks worked to get a job to attain private health insurance through their employer. Unless you meant being pro private and against ANY government health care. Biden's plan has both though. Get private if you want or government.

Arizona votes changed pretty much nothing, Biden's advantage is 44k.

Doesn't look like Trump's winning AZ either.

Oh wow, didn't skew Trump's way at all. I take back previous comment.
