PS he is left of centre as you might have guessed

Absolutely. Bush won that in part because he claimed victory first. But it seems someone told Trump that, so he tried to copy it. But Bush was speaking after about the second recount or something, not right in the middle of the first count.

Trump knew that if he didn't claim victory quickly it would be too late.

I'm looking at three different AZ tallies atm so clearly results are coming through but I can't make out what the latest is

Nah. He just made a fool of himself. This wasn't anything like Bush Gore 2000.

I mean we all knew he was going to do it, but that doesn't mean it was ever going to work.

Because absolutely nobody asked, here's Al Gross on his Senate race in Alaska:



If none of the mail vote has been counted yet then that probably explains the fact that it hasn't been called yet

Just wondering the same. About me obviously, I didn't know you were .
I'm waiting for something to happen, but I'm not entirely sure what really.

I hope Brad Whatsisface brought a sleeping bag, 'cos Georgia is blatantly heading for a recount from scratch.

I intended to be in bed by 10, but instead I keep going down the garage for more cold cans.

I need to think of an excuse for missing the 7.30 am zoom meeting.

But Georgia
And Pennsylvania
And seeing if anyone calls the election

 

[JTG]

Biden lead in AZ is down to 46k

Trump won that batch of 73k by 14%. Good but not great for him

 

[belboid]

He got the lead down by 10k from 70k votes. 200k left = another 30k, getting closer but not quite enough. By itself.

[cupid_stunt]

FFS, this is like watching paint dry, I give up.

Night all.

 

[JTG]

Georgia below 2k

 

[eoin_k]

They need to start showing the percentage share to two decimal places.

 

[JTG]

Monroe County PA has flipped to Biden, statewide deficit now 42k

 

[brogdale]
