I keep seeing on twitter that Trump has won Florida but Biden is still 100k up? Do they know something we don't know?
Postal and early voting favors Biden. So if these votes are counted before/on election day like in Florida the trend will shift to Trump as live in the day votes are counted during the day. When postal/early votes aren't counted until after the polls close the live/on election day votes come in first and the postal/early votes take longer to count, so things get better for Biden as the count goes on.

This forum has a tendency to go all illiberal if you look at data neutrally and come to a conclusion that the herd doesn't like.

I wouldn't spend too much time arguing on your credentials.
Cheers. Yeah, I wasn't going to. Frustrating that people just react with condescension when they don't understand though, innit.

Everyone - Fulton County isn’t reporting yet. Calm down over Georgia for the time being.

Now it’s starting to come in. Watch the numbers flip.

Biden outperforming polls in Ohio? Thought that would go to Trump. He's ahead 60-40 right now.

Deja vu.

Florida may look close now but it's done and dusted after panhandle votes come in.

Why show Texas as blue if you only have a handful of votes.

A fecking disgrace that this is a nail-biter.

Had late lunch with a friend and Trump feels stronger than the pollsters would have us believe

Still think Biden wins but it will be really close

I'm clinging onto you here.

Everyone else on here is depressing me with doom and gloom for feck sake
It’s just people’s 2016 PTSD kicking in, seriously Biden is showing excellent signs of doing well in the suburbs and some in working class areas. So far at least I’m really not worried at all.

NYT calling Illinois in favour of Biden but with 0% vote called.
How do they make this call?

One of two things:

- Pollsters fecked up Florida Cubans and only them. Biden win.
- Trump wins NC, GA, FL and has a 50/50 shot going into Penn.

Even a close Biden win isn't really good enough. This election had to be a full on landslide rejection of Trumpian politics. In 4 years it'll just be another Trump like figure - his anointed succesor - even if he loses, and they'll probably win.

Seems like a lot of states having the pattern of early Biden lead due to mail-in voting and then Trump catching up when they count today’s.

Florida is done but the weird Cuban american situation might skew the bigger picture.
Still, Georgia also looking bad, need NC to pull this out.

I'm shocked how well Biden is doing in Ohio.

I thought that was going to be a close run race but he's flying away there

Because Trump is more likely to transform into a giant shark than to win Illinois. They could have called it before the polls even opened.

It could be Trump again I believe. The law allows it.

Illinois is as safely blue as it gets. Well, maybe not as safe as California but still, absolutely 100% certain to go to Biden.
