I'm assuming a number of the votes from the Atlanta area came in. 

They should have factored that in.  That swing is insane.

Georgia ticks back down from 63% Biden to 60% Biden per the needle on NYT

 

[BobbyLayne]

What happened in GA?  NYT needles just flipped from 85% Trump to 63% Biden lean.

I'm assuming a number of the votes from the Atlanta area came in. 

NYT just leaned Georgia to Biden 

Georgia

*Donald J. Trump (Republican) 2,157,607 53.1%

Joe Biden (Democratic) 1,852,220 45.6%

Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian) 49,769 1.2%

*Incumbent

Votes counted: 4,059,596. We estimate this is 81.0% of the total vote.

I don't know the underlying story here; GA had a lot of early mail in voting in ATL. When was is counted?

Further update on AZ: Fox decision desk folks said earlier they are combining their exit polls with actual results to make their calls. 

This is patently absurd. The only thing that counts is the ballots not their polls. This a means of manipulating the outcome of this election.

You're saying Fox is fake news?

What happened in GA?

Johnny pulled the plug on the runway lights.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

If Trump pulls this off he may be the first President in American history to be impeached twice. 

Which would be a blacker eye to the House than Trump.

 

[-fish-]

NE 2 went Biden.  With Arizona he doesn’t need GA or PA.  Just MI and WI

 

[skol asylum]

If Trump pulls this off he may be the first President in American history to be impeached twice. 

If he pulls this off he better do a 180 on Covid. I'm genuinely concerned the most there.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Did Trump’s message of open up the economy/law and order work after all? 

If so, I think I will be more upset than expected. 

 

[Doug B]

Georgia now leaning Biden

On TV or online source? AP still has Trump ahead by 8 in GA with 82% or precincts reporting.

 

[Pitchfork]

Georgia ticks back down from 63% Biden to 60% Biden per the needle on NYT

Now up to 68

All coming down to Detroit and Philly

I live in a suburb of Philly, mailed my vote in two weeks back.  Sorry if mine is one of the ones waiting.  As someone who drives all the place I see roughly 80-90% Biden signs and billboards throughout the Philly region.

It's a Simon and Garfunkel quote.

Yeah I got that.  Was just using the opportunity to give Tim some friendly #### talking.  

 

[beef]

NYT just needed something to keep their website clicks up.  People want to go to bed and they just kept 10 million to stay up another hour.  

 

[PennStater77]

Biden gets Minnesota 

 

[Juxtatarot]

NE 2 went Biden.  With Arizona he doesn’t need GA or PA.  Just MI and WI

Who called NE 2?

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Faithless elector voting for Biden would be a textbook example of why we have the electoral college procedure. To protect the educated from the uneducated masses.

You have to admit it would be ironic given in this scenario Biden would actually also have the raw popular vote advantage that the Electoral College system was built to “protect” the country from. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Biden is winning AZ but it is too early to call

 

[Yankee23Fan]

They should have factored that in.  That swing is insane.

Its been a focus in stuff I'm seeing. Atlanta has been the holdout and they've been waiting for big numbers too.

Do you....do you think the Arizona pollsters stop counting when fox announces?

definitley possible

 

[Doug B]

update for the 9 states called  

so far, just safe and likely states called + Florida + Ohio + NE district 2 + Texas

all 3 Battleground states have gone for Trump

no state has flipped from pre-election polling

AFTER MIDNIGHT RECAP

BIDEN - 210

...

TRUMP - 145

...

AP has called Hawaii and Minnesota for Biden.

 

[lazyike]

App makes the call of Mn for Biden

 

[BobbyLayne]

Georgia

when to expect election results:

Should be relatively quick. Counties were allowed to start processing absentee ballots on Oct. 19, and only ballots mailed from overseas may arrive after Nov. 3. “For races that aren’t too close, we’ll have those results” on election night, the secretary of state told WSB-TV. “For the races that are very, very close, we believe that we’ll have them by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.”

Still don't know what's up. It's possible Cobb County (GA) is the bulk of the remaining vote to be counted. Not sure.

 

[bagger]

Biden to speak. He be like I am drinking some warm milk and going to bed.

 

[Zow]

Biden is winning AZ but it is too early to call

Yeah this is the local news sentiment. Apparently 500k still out there. Biden with a sizable lead though and much of those votes are from Maricopa. I assume those will favor Trump, but he's gotta take it like 4-1 which seems statistically improbable. 

 

[NutterButter]

Fulton county which contains Atlanta has stopped counting for the night.   WTF.  I'm staying up.  You stay up and count.   

 

[David Dodds]

If neither candidate gets a majority of the 538 electoral votes, the election for President is decided in the House of Representatives, with each state delegation having one vote. This might be worse than a tie in football.

 

[gruecd]

Its been a focus in stuff I'm seeing. Atlanta has been the holdout and they've been waiting for big numbers too.

CNN sure makes it sound like Trump is going to hang onto GA

 

[BobbyLayne]

AP has called Hawaii and Minnesota for Biden.

thanks

no net change, those are as expected

I'm going to stay consistent and keep updating from the same source I have all night

try to do one every half hour but skipped one to do that road to 270

will update again around 12:50ish

 

[ConnSKINS26]

And before people take that wrong, this is an almost historic divide between the educated and those without college degrees, and their support is as you would imagine. 

Careful, edging towards that condescending ivory tower liberal behavior you despise, rock*

*all in good fun, just couldn’t resist the joke when you posted this so soon after your earlier posts on the topic

John King:  "Virginia just gave us a big dump".  I bet that felt good Virginia.   

 

[Doug B]

Whoa Georgia still in play.

Called it a super-narrow Trump win two weeks ago. Let's see what happens.

Must've drank some prune juice

I call that a game changer

I'm so tired but I just can't quit this.

According to Josh Jordan, Fox is retracting the Arizona call.  ETA, he just deleted that tweet so he may have gotten some bad info.

Polls have been closed there  

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Pretty much entire remaining 18% is Atlanta area I think.

 

[BobbyLayne]

thanks

IDK why I said Cobb, doh, everyone knows it's Fulton County

so the precincts that will tip it heavily to Biden and possibly win the state are going home for the night

WELL....

I live in the city.  No Biden signs anywhere. 

 

[NutterButter]

I know a lot of people feel that the Monday after the super bowl should be holiday but I'd gladly exchange that for a day off after election day.   

 

[Dr_Zaius]

Giving up on the county by county (lol), if you compare Trump '20 to Trump '16 he is +3.5 in IL, +2.5 in IN, Even in OH.   Of course, they are still counting in all of those states and it seems like people don't know what's out as far as mail in or in person, etc. - but safe to say there doesn't appear to be a big swing in the rust belt states already counted. 

Given the giant amount of uncertainty around what's outstanding in WI, MI, and PA, I think anyone who claims to know how they are going to break is delusional.  I think I'm going to bed  <_<

 

[dkp993]

PA former Governor Rendell just came on ABC and said they are seeing huge record turn outs in the 5 county area which makes up 40% of PA votes.  Says when it’s done on Friday Biden carries it by 3pts.

Georgia

when to expect election results:

Hancock county not reporting. Trump still up 300,000 or so. 

 

[CowboyFan4822]

Eh I meant more like peoples yards.  That and the BLM/believe in science signs.  I rarely see any for Trump.  Just has felt really blue here.

 

[DJackson10]

Election Day should be a national holiday nothing open but 7/11 type stores nothing else. Allow everyone a chance to vote
