At this point I am amazed that
(1) no state has gone differently from 2016 to 2020
(2) the only states decided by less than 10% one way or the other in 2016 that have been decided are Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Virginia.

The close states wouldn't be called early. Likely a factor.

RE: Election Night 2020 thread - pbrower2a - 11-04-2020
The AP and FoX News have both called Arizona. Biden has a lead in Wisconsin, but not enough to prevent a recount (of course I would rather have a recount with a lead than with the other guy having a lead!) Nevada is close with most outstanding votes coming from Washoe (including Reno and Sparks) and Clark counties (Greater Vegas). Michigan has Trump up 0.5% at this point... with lots of votes out in the Detroit area. Pennsylvania has a significant lead for Trump.. but the bulk of the votes yet counted in Greater Philly. Georgia is a possible Biden pickup based on votes in Greater Atlanta and some heavily-black rural counties.
At this point I would have my money on Biden.

If Biden can win Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan, he will have 270 electoral votes. If then he survives court challenges, he will be the next president.
RE: Election Night 2020 thread - pbrower2a - 11-04-2020
About 1PM on Wednesday. NBC News calls three of four electoral votes from Maine. Wisconsin: 300 votes left from a small town, with Biden having a lead bigger than that. There will be a recount, which explains the muted color.
Biden 248
Trump 216

RE: Election Night 2020 thread - pbrower2a - 11-04-2020
Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada (in which Biden has leads with votes running out) puts Biden at 281 electoral votes (Replace Georgia for Michigan and you get the same effect). Pennsylvania and any other remaining state (most likely Nevada) puts Biden at 274 electoral votes.

Forget reason, learning, empathy, reflection, and self-interest: those are weak in contrast to the primitive drives and fears. Donald Trump is the greatest master of such in American history. I may be wise enough to distrust my gut instincts (or as Ronald Reagan cited an alleged Russian proverb, "Trust, but verify".
People become increasingly helpless -- and morally depraved. At this point I am no longer convinced that the American people as a whole are any better than the people of Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, Idi Amin's Uganda, or Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Should Trump pull this off, then I have lost all faith in electoral politics, at least in America. If in a land of criminals one becomes an accomplice, a victim, or an emigrant. Donald Trump's campaign told people that if they didn't vote for them they would lose their jobs and be subjected to extremist violence. Trump will exploit economic insecurity of his creation to scare people into further hardship -- and multitudes are stupid enough to fail to recognize that Donald Trump stirred up the social unrest that has recently bedeviled us.
If we fall for someone like Trump, then we will be the stupidest people on Earth -- the ones who voted for their own chains.
Firearms will not help me. Valium and vodka might.
That's right. And facebook will not allow this opinion on facebook. The Americans are responsible for this. If they have allowed a disgraceful person to be their president, then they are just as disgraceful.
Trump has not yet been elected, since he lost Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania is still on track to flip to Biden. It depend on how close, it is and whether Biden will need the ballots that arrived after election day. If not, we are on the verge as a nation of one religious fanatic to potentially decide the election rather than 150 million Americans.
The blue wave did not crash. Republicans have picked up 6 seats in the House, but this is not final since some states are still counting including California. So we have two competing nations within one, and there is no guarantee that the demographics will favor the democratic blue one over the fascist red one going forward. As latinx people become established citizens, they are just as liable to be persuaded by trickle-down economics as well as naturally more socially conservative. Today's Millennial-Gen young people and the next Gen-Z may or may not stay as liberal as they are now, and may or may not participate as much as they need to. Trump is a cult leader, and unless he is in jail he will be out in red-land arousing the next Tea Party wave for 2022.
RE: Election Night 2020 thread - pbrower2a - 11-05-2020
AP and FoX News call Arizona. The vote is nearly complete in Michigan and the AP has called it. Biden's lead is significant and seems to be expanding in Nevada (because the remaining ballots are from Greater Las Vegas, and those aren't largely going to Trump). Michigan and Arizona can still be subject to a recount, so they is in pale blue (as is Wisconsin). I don't see how Trump can win Nevada, so I would be tempted to call it now.
I take back the Senate race in North Carolina, which has been withdrawn with late votes coming in. Michigan, Arizona, and New Mexico are apparently D holds.
Biden 270
Trump 216

Update as of 7:50 PM, Guy Fawkes' Day:
Georgia
Winner gets 16 electoral votes
CANDIDATES % VOTE WINNER
Donald Trump 49.4% 2,445,539
Joe Biden 49.3% 2,441,904
99% of estimated votes counted
Votes outstanding are largely from heavily-D Fulton and DeKalb County. This will be razor-thin, vote totals separated by just over 3600 votes.
North Carolina Winner gets 15 electoral votes
CANDIDATES % VOTES WINNER
Donald Trump 50.1% 2,732,084
Joe Biden 48.7% 2,655,383
94% of estimated votes counted
Votes outstanding are largely in urban, D-voting areas. This will be razor-thin, in view of the nearness of completion.
Nevada Winner gets 6 electoral votes
CANDIDATES % VOTES WINNER
Joe Biden 49.4% 604,251
Donald Trump 48.5% 592,813
84% of estimated votes counted
Votes are almost all from D-voting Clark County (greater Las Vegas).

CANDIDATES % VOTES WINNER
Donald Trump 49.9% 3,264,017
Joe Biden 48.9% 3,199,756
Don't let the 64K gap fool you: the outstanding votes are almost all in Greater Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and there are plenty of remaining votes from these heavily D-voting areas.
Any one of these is enough to write finis to the chance of a Trump re-election.

One hour, and the gap is down to 2500. Mind the gap! How many votes are left?
NEVADA (6)

no change, or none recognized.
NORTH CAROLINA (15)
Donald Trump 50.1% 2,732,084
Joe Biden 48.7% 2,655,383
94% of estimated votes counted
The gap is just under 77,000. I doubt that Biden will win this. In about 340 K votes? Biden would need 247 K votes, which is about 73% of the vote remaining. It is marginal unless the community in question is about as D as Brooklyn, New York. No votes have been counted in about an hour, and it is likely that people are sleeping on the next day's count.
PENNSYLVANIA (20):
Donald Trump 49.7% 3,277,704
Joe Biden 49.1% 3,235,742
90% of estimated votes counted
In one hour, the gap has narrowed by a full 0.2% in the count. Georgia will be decided before Pennsylvania (barring some late-in military votes or something of the sort). The 42K gap is far less than the 64K gap of about an hour ago. The numbers in Pennsylvania look ominous for President Trump. This state will not be called until the votes are practically in, but this looks like a Biden win in its direction.
RE: Election Night 2020 thread - pbrower2a - 11-06-2020
Well, three days after the opening of the in-place polls began on Election Day for Election Day votes... Trump is up about 18,000 votes in Pennsylvania with 97% of the vote in. The percentage gap has gone to 0.3%. If President Trump has the bad habit of biting his fingernails, then he might not have any fingernails left. The gap in Georgia is less than 1000 with votes outstanding but votes obviously running out. This could be as tight as Florida in 2000. It will be soon. There seems to be no change in the count in Nevada or North Carolina. The casinos operate 24/7 in Vegas, but for the sake of people counting the votes it is best that those who count the vote can at least get some uneasy sleep. North Carolina is not so well known for casinos, but it has some.
