I know I'm oversimplifying (each lawsuit is a separate venue/case) but the thought occurred to me it would be great if Team Biden could just say OK.
"Stop counting the vote? Alright, if you insist. We're up 8K in NV and 68K in AZ. Wayt to play yourself, you just lost"

There are lawsuits filed in all 5 states; 3 initiated by the campaign yesterday, while Team Trump joined cases in AZ and NV. I'm sure that's been posted over and over, just noting the fact (I wasn't sure if they'd already initiated proceedings in all of five.)
Wisconsin stands at 20K (0.6%); that's within the 1% threshold to demand a recount. Would cost taxpayers $3M.

Since it worked out well on here yesterday I will try it again.
I just woke up, can someone give me cliff notes on where we are and who is favored to when as we stand right now. Pretend I am a 4rth grader.
Thanks

Those odds seem pretty surprising given how the margins have shrunk here.
18k down in GA
164k down in PA
8k up NV no more votes added in 24 hours
Up 69k AZ which has gotten tighter

Biden is favored, making big gains in PA and GA, holds leads in AZ and NV, NC is doing their own thing, and Trump is suing whoever he sees whose face he doesn't like.

Thank you. So I guess nothing dramatically changed over night. I had to tap out around 7. Just election overload.

Damn I am seeing protesters stormed the county facility in AZ? WTF is wrong with people. Trump is causing a mess

They are counting votes. That's what we do in elections.
There is no evidence anything fraudulent is taking place.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
whoa, easy fella. storming seems a little strong. and it is an open carry state so NBD.
guess the poll workers counting were afraid to leave so they could go home? IDK saw it on Twitter or maybe a report playing in the background. crazy stuff.

Semantics. But the cops came in with gear on and had to set up a parameter. From what i just read that had to halt counting for a bit
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
well AZ is getting tighter I guess. but whatever it is, let's not be afraid of it - count everything.
like I posted upthread, not sure @-fish- & others were wringing their hands over. I mean, I get it, 8K is nothing, but from Twitter and other places I look at the mail in votes should favor Biden. but like I said maybe they're tuned into something I'm not aware of, dunno.

In Arizona a little, yes, although there is apparently a big blue district there that still owes a lot of votes. Nevada hasn’t done anything.
It appears Biden will take over PA some time today putting an end to all of this hopefully.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
I was making a lame joke.
its pretty terrifying to see, and I feel bad for the poll workers. international election observers have already been critical of Trump's inappropriate remarks/tweets which are undermining public confidence and distorting what is a normal process - we are counting valid votes - into something ominous and foreboding.
anyway, we'll know soon enough.

I really really hope Biden can overtake him in Georgia too. I know it would likely be razor-thin, but the optics of that would be huge. I've been obsessed with watching that vote count.

What makes you say this? Really getting to the bottom of the barrel of voted now, and still thousands to make up.

Mail-in, mostly urban districts have outstanding ballots. With numbers mirroring the D/R breakdown in those areas thus far, looks like an easy W for Biden.
Terminalxylem
Footballguy
Agreed. It would be great if he won all the remaining swings, which looks possible everywhere except NC. No idea what’s going on there.

They have only counted an estimated 89% of the vote. That means there is still 800K left. Biden is getting 3 out of every 4 votes. That would net +400K and he’s down 164K.
Capella
Footballguy
Hundreds of thousands of votes there, all Mail-in, so theoretically blue, and he’s been cleaning house for a while now.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Right, if it ends up being 306-232 then it's a lot different situation than 2000 when they legal fight was isolated to one state.
BobbyLayne

Should be ahead by lunchtime.Georgia lead down to 18K.
Seems probable we won’t anyone calling the election by COB though.

If this was happening in an election in Eastern Europe or South America and Bush or Obama were President, they would have likely issued a very strong statement rebuking the behavior of the leader and their supporters.

Philly in particular is going to be important for Biden to close the gap. Historically they're very heavy Dem.

I actually am cool with the stance NC is taking.
A) They are unlikely to actually matter in the end
B) They legally can still be receiving votes via mail for a few days so why rush to count all these votes and give the impression of one result only to possibly have to reverse course next week. That seems to only invite more controversy.

Hope you are right, but the info we are getting about how many votes remain to be counted is all over the place and as such the likelihood of Biden catching Trump ranges from "statistically impossible" (if the SOS offhand remarks are to be believed) to "could happen, but will be a nail-biter" (if online sources are to be believed).
Also, I worry greatly about civil unrest the longer it takes to call this. Which is NOT to say that we shouldn't follow the process and take the necessary time. Just tthat the nhe nonsense heard and seen in just the past 24 hours has been worrisome enough and now everything is pointing to this election being called on Friday. Could be an ugly weekend.

Serious question:
Can anyone imagine President Trump ever issuing a concession speech?

That would put Biden up by 2k. Man, that's gonna be a mess - the recounts, law suits, etc.

The math this morning looks way way too close in all 4 states.

I feel pretty comfortable in saying it's not going to be close in PA later today.
BobbyLayne

it is
now juxtapose being on the side with 3 outs, all of which involve PA, versus having 8 different paths.
don’t worry about a ting

That’s not his style. That’s not the style his supports want him to have. It’s OK that his style is different.
