    Unless Biden get's 270 and Pennsylvania is not needed, we will not know the results at the earliest this weekend, because Pennsylvania has been ordered to count mail in votes that were postmarked election night and those votes would be arriving as late as Friday.

    Then of course we will have all the legal challenges by trump that will delay things even more. Hopefully the courts will expedite them promptly, and fairly.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    All true Buckaroo but legal challenges will not change first vote count once they are in. Could change count to some degree after first count done however.

    Its close enough that the Republicunts will probably trade concessions for not backing Trump in any of the lawsuits. But they will want clemency for trump also

    Agree and it may well come. Ford pardoned Nixon in 1974.

    If Biden pardons Trump he is history. Nixon wasn't actively disliked/hated by 65% of the population. Trump is


    And:



    Nevada will do it

    Can you imagine just how unhinged SCROTUS is right about now? He thought there was going to be this huge coronation. Instead he's going to suffer possibly the most excruciating possible loss ... 270-268.

    ... Gotta love it!

    Nevada’s number will be/should be out before noon tomorrow (EST). The 6 needed to take Biden to 270


    Something to think about. 538 (if I remember right) had Biden winning Nevada by 5.3 and RCP has Biden winning Nevada by 2.4

    But 538 had Biden winning Florida at 2.5 and RCP had Biden winning Florida by 0.9. Those numbers didn’t go well last night.

    There are still are a number of outstanding ballots in Nevada.: Nevada election results 2020: Live updates on the presidential race - Vox - US election 2020 live results: Donald Trump takes on Joe Biden in tight presidential race | US news | The Guardian

    Good news is that Mrs. Clinton did win Nevada 4 years ago.
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    The same thing could happen in Georgia and North Carolina. Those states are counting absentee ballots from their urban and suburban areas. Most likely will skew Democratic.
    Peak Trump...

    Trump: stop counting!

    Also Trump: recount!

    Just curious: why is Pennsylvania a red state, when the other NE states are blue? What's the history there? Thanks.

    Btw, in the "if you were able to vote" thread, I voted for Biden. Would've liked Bernie instead, but I'm with the anyone-but-Trump camp.

    Red means the Repubicans won, Blue means the Dems won. The states change colors as winners are declared.

    Yes, but I think she is asking why is Penn a Republican state.

    There’s a reason some people jokingly refer to PA as Pennsyltucky.

    Trump has a too big lead in Penn, the chance for it being flipped is unfortunately slim

    Trump has questioned legal efforts in calls with allies

    From CNN's Kevin Liptak


    President Trump offered less-than-enthusiastic endorsement of his team's legal strategy in phone calls with some of his allies on Wednesday, sounding resigned to the plan falling short and questioning why his team hadn’t successfully challenged voting rules before the election even as he remained willing to see it through.


    According to a person who spoke to Trump, the President seemed tired after spending the night watching election returns at the White House. Trump spoke to several of his supporters behind closed doors at the White House as his team mobilized to begin the post-Election Day effort.


    The President told one person he was willing to let the legal maneuvering proceed but suggested he did not believe it would be successful in the end. While he said he believes he will win in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia, Trump was skeptical at the lawsuits filed by his team.


    Trump hinted at his views in a tweet on Wednesday afternoon: "Our lawyers have asked for ‘meaningful access’, but what good does that do?” he wrote from the White House. “The damage has already been done to the integrity of our system, and to the Presidential Election itself. This is what should be discussed!”


    Trump’s campaign has been feverishly soliciting funds for the legal effort on its email list. After Trump’s tweet, one campaign adviser questioned why the President would undercut the effort at the same moment he is seeking new money to support it.


    Is he finally starting to accept the reality of him losing?
