Already about 140 million votes cast nationwide. NBC News estimating there are about 18 million votes not counted still!? Where are they all coming from? Looks like CA is only like 75% reported, where else? Approximately 160 million votes nationwide is a staggering number.

CA probably has 4M. NY probably another 2.5M. 

 
Nate Silver just tweeted that JB has been getting 75% of the vote in PA. He needs to average 61% the rest to way to take the lead.

So if this happens, both GA Senate seats will go to a run-off to determine control of the Senate as the Senate would be at 50-48 projected going into both run-offs (remember, if Dems win the Presidency and get to 50-50 in the Senate by winning both run-offs, they have the tiebreaker with the VP). 

So essentially, Georgia will be bombarded with ads like you've never seen before as both parties fight for control of the Senate. Again, if this all happens. This assumes Perdue's lead drops below 50% for a run-off to occur. If Rs get to 51 by any way possible (whether that be Perdue holding on to avoid a run-off or by winning one of the run-offs), they have the Senate.

Biden winning with the GOP retaining control of the senate would be the best outcome IMO.

Saw this on twitter from a CNBC dude: https://twitter.com/ScottWapnerCNBC/status/1324149350088527872

Hearing from some big investors tonight that we could be on the cusp of a great scenario for stocks: A Biden presidency, A Republican Senate, No massive spending “to make the bond market go crazy,” No major tax hikes, A ton of liquidity, A vaccine and “no more of the chaos.”

Yeah, it's shaping up to be a centrist's dream come true.  Narrow Biden win, Narrowly Republican Senate, closely divided House.

Speaking of the House, has anyone seen a reasonable projection for where it ends up?  Doesn't seem like anyone's really tracking the races yet to be called as far as how likely they are to go each way.

 
I have a dream...unlikely to be realized.

This election shows that we should all think more like the founders intended - locally, not nationally.

Our nation is too diverse and politically different (in roughly equal numbers) for big ideas to come from the Federal Government.

If you lean left, there are several States (see what I did there?) for you to choose from. Right, same thing. 

For 30 million people in group A to say the other 30 million in group B have to adhere to what A wants is just really unreasonable.

On a tangent point we should all come to grips that roughly half the people we know don't believe like we do. But since that's a whole lot of people we're living with, maybe we we could just be a little nicer to each other because the "other guy" isn't going away.

My left wing friends call me a fascist and my right wing friends call me a socialist.  I am a centrist and in a good spot.  

 
Trump continues to drip drip drip away his lead in Georgia: lead is down to 32K

(I’m setting myself up for a letdown here aren’t I)

I don't understand how a president can behave this way. He is hereby declaring that he won states that aren't done counting the ballots yet. It's so dangerous. I just don't get it. But obviously his supporters like this stuff. Or do people actually believe that the election is over and Democrats are piling Mack trucks full of fake ballots into states to make it look like Biden won? Does anyone actually think that is a possibility?

What if both GA seats go runoff and both end up going Democrat in the runoffs and Dems have Senate control? What's the effect on stocks then in your opinion?

Not great.  Dems control house, senate and exec.  They can push tax hikes, regulation etc.  Wall St. doesn't like absolute control.

There are absolutely  a lot of people on Twitter who think this swing in voting is all a bunch of fake votes Dems are pulling out of nowhere.

Because he loves to troll people and then suck up to Joe when "serious discussion" doesn't occur.  It's quite weird how much he will troll for a guy that seems to live on internet political discussions

Love it.  So well written.  All of it.

Arizona and Georgia are controlled by Republicans. They're not gonna let massive Democrat-led voter fraud take place. They're not Chicago in 1960. ;)

What trolling? I got the email, I was startled he would make such a claim, and I posted it. I’m not trolling anyone.
