Wasserman saw reports last night that there were only 120,000 in Philadelphia County. He’s skeptical of that, but even if so…he thinks it’s more than enough. Plenty still left in Delaware County, Bucks County, etc.
Oh, and one more for the doom crowd: Nevada is probably going to start announcing results again shortly.
And the first set of results are going to be from rurals, per Ralston.
But there’s lots to come from mail-in ballots in Clark County.
He remains confident that Biden prevails.
So does China. And, unlike us, they have a stable (albeit Lawful Evil) government.

Lol ok. Paint a picture of how you see that playing out. You think Western Europe is going to do deals with China because the US isn’t trustworthy?
And what has changed in the last 48 hours to make you think this is now the end times? Are you suggesting that Biden only winning by a few EVs is going to give Macron second thoughts?
The more Trump freaks out on Twitter, the more comforted I feel.
However, as a person who doesn’t have to deal with an anxiety disorder, this whole process has given me new insights on the pure hell these people go thru on a daily basis. The “slow heart-attack” feeling is relentless.
This.
The 11,000 ballots in Fulton could drop the lead to 6-7,000 votes. The combination of Chatham and Gwinnett should make up the rest.

Seriously. I have a rep for being able to keep a cool head and not get too anxious or worked up about things but holy shit this election. My poor wife does have anxiety issues so it’s been a real joy for her in particular.
Not necessarily:
Since the state is 50-50, +9D would mean around a 60-40 split that would mean a 12k net Biden gain over 61k votes.
I think. Napkin math that can be wrong.
Of course since they are mail in ballots they will be more D than their counties. But it could be very close?

Whichever way it goes it WILL be close. Very close.
Yep. But Fulton County has been coming in like 75-80% Biden on these mail-in balltots.
So if (big caveat) there are 11,200 ballots in Fulton, That eats a huge part of the remaining 13,500 vote gap.
And now you’ve got 24,000 ballots to count in blue counties – Chatham and Gwinnett.
That’s all dependent on those ballots actually being outstanding ballots.
I see an 18k vote gap? Where are you seeing the 13.5k?
You’re right. Even then, I think Biden covers it.
Holy hell, this election. It’s taken 5 years off my life.
No, not Western Europe, but anywhere else in the world? Maybe! Point is, why make a trade agreement, or climate agreement, or disarmament agreement with the US when every 4 years we reserve the right to blow up that deal because we swapped political parties?

That’s from the PA SoS dashboard. It reports:
120,128 in Philadelphia County (So far 93% mail-ins for Biden, so this might be something like 110,000 votes)
17,624 in Delaware County (85% mail-ins for Biden so far. Maybe 14,000 votes.)
43,069 in Bucks County (78% mail-ins for Biden. About 30,000 votes.)
Also, Clayton County and Fulton County outstanding ballots should drop Perdue into runoff territory.
Yep. But those dashboards aren’t super-reliable either.
And again, remember that all the ballots outstanding that are mail-in ballots are going to favor Biden. Even from red and reddish counties.

My morning BP is 136/81 so I hope Biden clinches this soon. Although my BP is probably just as much due to me eating excessive amounts of chocolate chip cookies and other sweets in the past 24 hours.
PA just updated on NYT again and it looks like Trump expanded his lead. I don’t think Biden’s gonna get there.
