    The only thing we currently know for certain, is that Biden is 'safe' with 183 electoral votes and trump is 'safe' with 77. Most states hadn't had time to count all the mail in ballots at the time AP and other news outlets posted 'results'.

    This one is updated every 15 seconds. If you drill down to the individual undeclared states, you get a more accurate picture:

    *somewhere in an abandoned Lockheed hangar in Marietta, a sleek blue bus burbles between sliding doors and which close behind it. It seems to smile in anticipation of its next outing*

    That'll do, bus. That'll do. fuckin' Ed.

    Yea, that one is the same as the AP map. I was specifically looking for information regarding what we *know*. States like Ohio, Iowa, Texas, unlike PA and NC did not hesitate to put their numbers out there. NC and PA specifically waited until they could count ALL votes.

    Yes, projections are good and tell us quite a bit if we're careful. But, we also know Texas and Iowa had record numbers of mail in ballots. But, so far, they have been ignored. Texas says "all 38 of our votes go to trump', but they haven't had time to count their mail in votes.

    I believe Biden will eventually be declared the winner. But, if anyone else was, like me, wondering about the mail in ballots, I found a site that took those into account.

    It isn't, though. The AP map, for example, shows Arizona as still in play, not declared. Lots of other discrepancies as well.

    Tell you what: you go find a nice quiet room, take a deep breath and hold it. I'll come back in a few hours and ask how "Blue Boy" is doing...:ramen:

    Arizona is still in play, and not declared. Each time the new counts are updated, Biden's lead shrinks even more. Arizona probably won't be declared until tonight at least.

    Yea, but even without AZ 11 electoral votes, GA will most likely go to Biden. and if all else continues as is, AZ won't matter.

    It's hard to call with GA. The gap is very, very small, and GA is going to do a recount.

    But I agree, AZ probably won't matter if things continue as they appear to be going.

    Biden's picked up almost 5,000 more votes in Pennsylvania in the past four hours.

    I think it matters in that we need as much a repudiation of Trumpism as we can get AND the clearer the EC win the less likely SCOTUS will be to fuck with stuff. No point in tainting your reputation on something that that ultimately doesn’t matter.

    Recounts typically produce a change of, at best, a few hundred votes. And it can go either way. Biden could end up winning GA by even more.

    But even assuming the recount goes all in Trump's favor, Biden's lead is such that there is very, very, very little chance it will be overturned in a recount.

    There is an extremely good chance at this point that Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Pennyslvania will all end up, when all is said and done, in the Biden total.

    I like the 'tards walking around with guns. Faces fully covered. Cowards.

    Second amendment or no second amendment, that shit should not be happening around voting/counting stations. That's the stuff of banana republics, not mature democracies.

    I know you live in AZ, but all the sources I've been watching give Biden an almost 40,000 vote advantage. Pretty sure that's enough of a lead that a Trump victory is statistically improbable.
