80k votes the difference with the quite a chunk of votes of charlotte and wake county (in terms of population). It still seems doable i think. But tougher than PA and Georgia for sure

It seems that the blue wave was hidden in absentee ballots.

Lets just say Trumpman Orange is getting only 10 votes for every 100 votes Biden is getting via postal ballots.

What sources are you using right now, mate. Would like to follow in real time myself but CNN is a chore to listen to as it reminds me of a Game Show.

Look at Philadelphia County & Delaware County…30% of the vote still to come in and by the trends there in Philadelphia, Biden has absolutely crushed Trump almost 80:20 with what’s been counted , that county alone is gonna swing PA to the democrats

Almost similar numbers for Delaware

Pennsylvania 240k lead for Trump now. ~12% left.

Thank you, both of you.

If that’s the case then that 250k will be made up with plenty to spare.

750k votes in philly to be counted, Yep…Majority of those votes have come from philadelphia, It’s a literal cakewalk. All this drama would have been avoided if the postal ballots were allowed to be counted first and the repubs didn’t block that from happening.

I daresay this was Trump’s plan B, prematurely declare victory and then cry fraud

It’s not the case unfortunately. It’s going to be tight but I don’t think it’s coming back to Biden quick enough, certainly not at the rate of 10 to 1 (more like 65:35 and that’s not enough).

It’s not a cakewalk, will still be much too narrow. Senate still looks republican,blocking Biden from actually doing anything much but consolidate the White House. I think words like cakewalk and blue wave should not be used.

Edit: Very much agree concerning the vote counting though.

Did mention that, The repubs would control the Senate and the Sc. Biden won’t be likely to get any work done. But as long as it’s not Trump.

Yeah, absolutely, you are right. I am just trying to be politically realistic.

Trump’s team files suit for halting in Georgia.

Biden will not need Penn, will he?He just needs Nevada’s 6 seats right to reach 270 and he is in the lead there.
