2020 Presidential Election thread

Liberty Republican Nick Freitas wins a seat in the house from VA.

I took a look at the map for the first time in a bit and PA was red, but immediately flipped back to blue. Trump made up a huge early deficit, which wasn't too surprising.

Most of these races are useless h til the main counties report. Wayne Co in MI hasn’t reported yet, so why even look at MI lol?

That's crazy.   But they've said they probably won't finish counting the mail-in ballots until Friday.  So while reports of a big turnout today for Trump seem to be true, I'm not sure anything has changed from what we expected even a few days ago.

PA just seemed like one of the states that might be an outlier AGAINST Trump.  OH didn't make a lot of sense to me, either, but couldn't really understand the disconnect with MN, WI and MI vs. OH and PA.

It's just like a sporting event where it goes back and forth with the score.  LOL.

I'm just tracking progress as the night goes on. I know this is all meaningless this early.

Looks like AZ will end up legalizing.

NC just flipped red for the first time in a while. Pretty much dead even, though. Less than 3,000 votes make the difference.

Never mind, he's up by close to 30k votes in NC now.

Philly just said they've counted only 70k of 350k mail-in ballots received.

Best case scenario that's +200k votes for Biden.  I was under the impression PA could have 2M ballots uncounted tonight.  200k votes from Philly probably won't get it done.

Lol Dems spent almost $100M to still get smoked by cocaine Mitch in Kentucky. How does that make sense to spend money like that?

Being in the Tri state area with the local tv stations.....the commercial were insane. Nearly every commercial break she was plastered all over the tv  Not sure how the dems thought she was going to win Kentucky

They did the same thing in SC with Graham and Harrison. And also lost. What a waste of $200m. I hate our government  elections 

It’s down to 4 states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Biden has to win 3 of those and not lose any states that Hilary won in ‘16.

Really looking like a complete re-run of 2016.  It's uncanny.  Biden could take MN, WI, MI and PA and still lose.  That's how this is shaping up.

And I'd guess Biden is less than 50% to win any of those.....that's putting him at about 25% to win the election.

Also I think MN is still in play...So 20%.

Vegas odds have shifted heavily in Trump's favor.

And while I believe in the EC, really messed up that perhaps 200k voters across 4 states are going to call this.

lol CNN in full desperation mode

Biden is still probly going to win. Seems like PA is taking it super seriously. 

Philadelphia stops counting mail-in ballots for the night https://t.co/9AyXZ5JjpK pic.twitter.com/EMXpnT3tpJ
