I hate that they're dragging this out for 3 days just to tell us the obvious, which is Biden wins; we've already known he's going to win since yesterday
I just saw a statement from NV that they expect they'll be impenetrable to a Trump challenge. It could really be that NV and AZ are doing their best to prevent fuckery from legal challenges.

I totally agree. Given the ****ery Trump and his lackeys are capable of, better to have this than a fast count.

That's not even a 5000-vote increase for Trump from what Google/AP are showing but a nearly 16k-vote increase for Biden. Damn. That 75% really is holding up almost everywhere.

Doesn't this election coming down to rural voting red and urban areas voting blue mean the Dems failed badly. Even if Biden wins state that split means probably not many GOP politicians lost a house seat. It possible some Dem seats flipped to GOP. Could mean Republicans even take Senate.

Media made me think it was gonna be a bloodbath in favor of the Dems in Senate/House.

But now that Trump is gone, the Republican vote will shrink from now on. A lot of people that never vote voted for Trump. Notice that when Trump was not on the ballot in the midterms the Democrats did a lot better?

The GOP will be in shambles after this election is called.

People always say that though. But I think they will still be around. If holding up the stimulus checks didn't end them. I don't think anything will. They were openly not trying to give poor people free money.

Perdue is officially under 50%, and with remaining ballots undoubtedly tilting blue, it now seems certain that Georgia will have 2 Senate run-off elections in January.
Did I mention that the Dems need to win both to get to 50-50?

they both vote similarly to the democrats, so for simplicity's sake most people just group them together anyway. I try not to, but it makes the numbers look like : 51/(47+2) every time, and that gets kinda tedious..

Current is

Trump's ahead +22,567

Current now is

Trump: 2,432,925
Biden: 2,414,781

Trump ahead +18,144

Increase of 9961 ballots. Trump's lead decreased by 4423. Biden obtained 7192, or 72.2% of votes, which may not be enough depending on how many ballots are left.

Fair warning guys, Nevada is going to be a really close race

The way they're counting remaining ballots (and will release them) is rural counties first, and in person first

Clark County (Biden's hope of winning) will be counted later along with absentee ballots

In the count, Nevada may flip more than once. From numbers based on the current count, the latter will probably make up for the former and Biden will end up with the state. But it's going to be another close one
