GA and PA secretaries of state both scheduled to speak publicly very soon. But that likely means nothing more than an update on where they're at, which might provide nothing new since they're already uploading info as they go.

If it is a run off race for the senate in January what is the bet that the republican vote will be restored by 2 or 3% of voters that would usually vote republican but voted against them because of Trump (assuming Biden wins)?

Biden down 90k votes in PA. By my math, I think he gains +80k in Philadelphia county which is at 82% reporting now with Biden leading 495k to 117k votes.

No idea; I'd have the same sources as you. Can't really use the maps for that, as we get into these smaller numbers I find that just taking the % of total votes doesn't turn out to be especially accurate. Pretty much relying on on-air updates for those. Hopefully the secretary of state update will help.

PA SoS thinks they may have enough info out tonight for a clearer picture of the winner. Says there are several hundred thousand votes to be counted; info can be found on their website for each county. Overwhelming majority will be counted by Friday as they've always said; feels they are ahead of that schedule.

Their counting dashboard is here:

Still, I find it hard to believe that a fully focused GOP campaign machine going to bat in Georgie would fail to do well.

PA voting dashboard says 326,348 mail-in votes left to count overall.

Election day reporting - 7 precincts (0.08%) not in.

Dashboard is pretty cool - you can see exactly how many mail-in votes remaining to be counted in each county.

Is this the bargaining stage? Or still denial?

Watching the last two nights, I never got the impression they were hoping for a Trump win. That's not to say they were not charitable to righty perspectives about the election...so, unless something changed tonight, I'd say neither.They seemed surprised at Florida, but not giddy.

NBC just had a seemingly throwaway line after the PA Secretary of State conference that says PA officials think Biden will be ahead very soon.

Judging by numbers in past few hours, Biden likely will finish tonight ahead by ~2% in PA and end up with numbers similar to those of Michigan (which makes perfect sense)

Biden down 90,542 votes in PA, 326,348 mail-in left to count. Biden would need 63.9% of those votes; he's apparently been running at about 78% on the mail-ins so far.

To look at it another way, 78% of the remaining votes is 254,551, leaving 71,797 for Trump - swing of 182,754.

Of course there's no reason to believe they will necessarily come in at the high number of 78%, but there's a lot of room for it to be lower and still be enough to Biden to catch up.

I hope I am wrong though.

I had the tiniest hope of this in spite of his history, until I had a look at his Twitter account today. Ugh. Maybe he will in the end, but it's not happening any time soon. Amusing to see how quickly Twitter is dropping warnings on his Tweets now, though.

Biden: +227.5k
Trump: +97.5k

Biden net gain: +130k

The math shows Biden will win PA by about 40k votes

Odds on Trump mentioning the words: Fraud, Rigged, Steal etc. ?

Oh and the good ol' "Fake News" will probably reappear.

The real story here is 90% turnout in Milwaukee. That's absolutely bonkers.

As usual a dumb and meaningless point by HIV supported by INS0!

“What it every Democrat who moved out of state illegally cast a vote in a state where they no longer lived, while no republicans did it!”

This is not an actual problem. It is a conspiracy by two trump supporters itt that’s is almost as dumb as all the other ones.

I am sure you two are highly concerned that ballot accuracy is 100% for every American even when trump supporters were considering breaking the law in a manner that is limited and not really exploitable.

It would be frankly astonishing if he didn't use all three.

LOL why is that doofus taking any **** from Lou Dobbs? Tell Lou Dobbs to **** off and if he thinks he's so good at running campaigns, he should quit his journalism job and become a campaign manager.
