Current Events > Important information about breaking down the remaining votes in WI, PA, and MI

(+) Yeah! (+)

In WI, they have not even begun to count the absentee votes. There were 1.275mil requested. If Biden wins 2/3rd of these as he has in other places, that is 400K votes his way. He currently trails Trump by 80K votes.

In PA, only 670K absentee ballots have been counted. There were 2.5mil returned. The absentee ballots counted so far broke for Biden 71.7% and 21.3% for Trump. If this were to hold, among the 1.83mil ballots still uncounted, Biden would gain 922K votes. Biden currently trail Trump by 420K votes.

This is far from over. Its just beginning.

In Michigan, 2.48mil absentee ballots were returned, and only 426K have been counted, leaving another ~2mil to count. The ones that were counted broke for Biden 65 to 33 percent, or in theory 640K vote difference for Biden over Trump. Trumps current lead over Biden in MI is 270K.

That's assuming Trump doesn't try to declare victory tonight and have the remaining mail-in ballots thrown out. But I do hope you're right and those swing back to Biden.

Would not matter.

Y'all need to remember: ARIZONA WAS NOT CALLED until 3 days later in 2016. The only reason it didn't make big news is because Hillary lost so badly in the rust belt.

These things take time. And they did in 2016 too.

Fear mongering don't get along with facts and reality.

And this is why I avoid election night.

Learned this lesson in the 2000 election. (my first election)

Stress and waiting, new counties, recounts, mail in delayed counting on top, republican trolls, then the added on court issues for weeks (months?)

You're in the middle of the explosion. The chips will fall. You can't do anything about it.

It wasn't months in 2000. It was 4 weeks, and then the SCOTUS ruled that Bush won. wasn't months.

it literally can't be more than a month. the results have to be settled, by law, by Dec 8th.

Florida wasn't called until Thanksgiving in 2012 lol

6-3 Republican Supreme Court and Kavanaugh recently made a statement about the SCOTUS role in the 2000 election which is even more worrying.

Also the Pennsylvania GOP leader was in talks with the Trump team about the GOP-lead legislature replacing electors with ones that will vote for Trump if the state goes blue but there was voting irregularities.

Didn't say it was.

I was implying court issues (real and imagined) might continue in 2020 for for more than a month depending on how things go. We'll see.

He knew those votes were coming in so of course that's why he did it.
