If Biden is winning them 2-to-1 there needs to be 40,000 left, and we just don't really know. I don't think the people running the count do either. ...there is apparently 40,000 votes left in Georgia luckily enough.

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Just now, Highland Capital said: They had a pro-independence Governor at one point. Weird that no-one has called it for Trump yet - he's miles ahead there and the Democrats never win it. I think they aren't opening any postal votes until next week, and there will be even more there than elsewhere as all senior citizens get one automatically (and presumably it is a bit cold for queueing in November). Trump will obviously win but they won't want to call it in case something mad happens with the postal vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger29 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Where are you seeing that? I'm just following the NYT page and it does seem a bit behind.This site gives the updates for the important states as they come in. Quite handy. https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 For context, this is pretty much what Trump said about Greta: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnout in Alaska is also normally quite poor, so the effect of mail-in ballots is unknown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - if you look back 3 hours you'll see the number of votes remaining is halved, without any changes to anything else.

RiG Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 15 minutes ago, Highland Capital said: Most of the TV stations in Britain and America haven't yet called Arizona for Biden. Fox did ages ago so if Biden wins one more state (apart from Alaska), he's won it. How ironic would that be - Fox News would be announcing Trump's loss well before everyone else. If it ends up being announced on Fox by someone like Hannity or Carlson... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a draft dodger who slagged off McCain who is seen as a hero. Polls conducted by a military newspaper have shown a few times that Trump is well ahead among ex-soldiers, but Biden leads among serving members. Considering their votes come in after election day, I don't imagine they're enjoying watching the commander in chief screaming for the votes not to be counted either. 1 minute ago, welshbairn said: Have you cashed in on Georgia yet?

It's sitting at 130.58 right now and it's been bopping around at that level for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that part but the US military in the south in particular does skew quite republican. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
