No, check the New York Times link I posted. The second graph breaks it down. 2,389,093 of the 2,420,394 votes reported were mail-ins. Only one county hasn’t reported theirs yet.

 

Right, specifically, Arizona's mail-in stats were 35% each for each party, so mail-ins wouldn't give either party an advantage.

 

And there's not any reason to suspect that the 22% of votes not reported in Maricopa County (which is a very large part of Arizona's votes), are going to lean either way. The call is probably right.

The numbers on the streets of DC as shown by Sky News is a bit worrying but very calm so far. Police keeping a watch from a safe distance.

 

Why from a ‘safe distance’ if it’s peaceful?

Biden 1.5mil ahead on the popular vote so far, if anyone's keeping an eye on that.

 

Kind of irrelevant really, Hillary Clinton won by just under 3 million.

 

But she had to concede around 07:30 GMT when Trump won Wisconsin. It will be a lot closer this time and we probably won't have a true result for weeks.

Was Hilary 3m ahead at the end in 2016?

Well a reasonable distance then. Could kick of at any time.

That Trump tweet has this plastered over it.

Nice work Twitter, though it'll convince the Republicans that Big Tech is against them even more.

Trump was wrong to Tweet that as he's not ahead at the moment. Biden has more EC votes so far.

 

I don't defend him when he's clearly wrong.

Again your guessing that as you dislike the protestors - which is why I mentioned your language

I don't dislike protestors at all. When have I said that. Am all for peaceful protest.

So you support BLM then?

Well spank my fanny and call me Annie.

I've had a few drinks this evening and I'm struggling to keep track - are we still hopeful of a Biden win?

Just hopefully not certain

I still think Biden will win. Just. So much for the poll leads though. Will be a narrow win for whoever takes it and probably end up in court. Certainly will if Biden wins.

There are (just about) more paths for Biden than for Trump but we probably won't know for certain for quite a while unfortunately!

speaking as a PA resident, and specifically someone from eastern pa where a lot of these swing counties are, I'd take a look at the % reporting before making any assumptions about the trajectory of the race. lackawanna had trump leading a few hours ago but is now solidly biden with 95% reporting (granted that is where biden's hometown is). as more votes come in, look for the same to happen in other eastern PA counties. e.g. no way lehigh county stays with a +11 trump lead with 66% reporting — heavy hispanic/latino population, went to Clinton in 2016. philly burbs should be blue with the exception of bucks county, which is pretty solidly red. chester county will be a tossup, and Northampton county (where I am) is a little more iffy. and of course Pittsburgh too! but western PA is basically a world unfamiliar to me so I can't comment

Interesting, thanks.

I imagine this election has been very similar to how the 2000 election was. It has been such a tense battle so far!

a lot of it boils down to.... how much of an advantage will the mail in votes really give dems in the end

Trump wins 38 votes from Texas!

219 vs 209 now
