Where are you seeing that? cnn.com doesn't show that.

With the swing to Trump among Latino voters and a Georgia win for Biden now appearing likely, looks like there's a chance the Electoral College could end up Biden 269, Trump 271 if Trump wins both Arizona and Nevada.

Oh ffs

That doesn’t add up. 270-268 is the closest win, otherwise it’s 269-269

Shit. And I was about to celebrate by buying an unnecessary present on ebay.

Look at the county breakdown for Arizona, and the reporting percentage for each.

It seems to me that all the red counties are either 100% done or have low population figures. The vast majority live in Maricopa (Phoenix) which is 84% done and strongly favours Biden. So I don't immediately see what the threat to Biden is?

Assuming you're giving PA to Trump (it looks like it's going to be Biden fairly easily), that makes a 269-269 tie

Is this uber-trolling from Yossarian?

 

[Sprocket.]

As Palin remarked on the video, and I knew but the penny hadn’t dropped, there has been an exodus of Californians to Arizona. This surely helps Biden.

Because the late mail counts are strongly favouring Trump, as was expected

Plenty of old rich Californians go to Arizona to retire. They aint necessarily Democrats

So, you're saying Bill Gates has reset the map?

Anyway, chill out. Pennsylvania will be Joe Biden's

Oops, yeah - a possible 269-269 tie then I guess, which after the way House races have turned out, will mean a Trump win.

Lead's dropped a little more since then btw. Needs to win remaining ballots by less than 2-1

Popular vote check:
Biden 50.4% (71.9m)
Trump 47.9% (68.3m)

why should we be interested in the tweets of Gangari the Warrior, with his massive reach on twitter of 110 followers?

Seems it's either some made Twitter prick or Kendizor. That's the choice. Two sides of the same fucking coin.

The longer this takes, the more time for Trump and co to engineer a spoiling move....

They don't have one. They wrap up counting Philadelphia's mail vote later today, PA will go to Joe Biden and that will be the whole ballgame bar a recount in Wisconsin.

The President is in his bunker, running out of friends and may make a lot of noise but that will be all

We need to stop those counts.

I wish I knew when AP will put Biden at 270. I want to be watching Fox when they digest it.

Apparently Fox has already called Arizona for Biden (ahead of AP, etc) and Trump made an angry phone call to Murdoch about it and Murdoch refused to tell Fox to back track. I would post the link but it was a mail story.

Edit - found mirror link now

Mirror Online: Furious Trump team 'called Rupert Murdoch moaning about Fox calling Arizona for Biden'.

Trump team 'called Rupert Murdoch moaning about Fox calling Arizona for Biden'

The Fox News decision desk was the first outlet to project that Joe Biden would win the state of Arizona in the first 'flip' of the night from 2016 - Donald Trump and his surrogates were furious

Did anyone see Michael Moore interviewed on Newsnight? Trump supporters are all white supremacists and members of militia. They are all educationally subnormal. Some barmy dissembling about evangelicals. Trump put people in cages (unlike erm Obama and Biden who put people in cages).

Maybe I’m being unfair to suggest Moore is representative of elite liberal thinking. But the interview suggests that nothing has been learnt from 2016 and 2020. Just a doubling down of the ideas that caused a defeat to a TV personality and a narrow victory this week when the circumstances made it almost impossible to lose. A refusal to even consider a vision that transcends group attachments, without denying them.

Abysmal.

Just some dildo that doesn't know that democracy is a bit of an illusion anyway.
