With 72 percent of the expected vote in from Wisconsin, Trump leads by a little more than 4 points and around 114,000 votes. But in terms of whats left, it might be enough to put Biden over the top. The big story is Milwaukee County, where only 36 percent of the expected vote is in. That along with 10 percent of the expected vote left out in deep-blue Dane County (Madison) leaves things very much up in the air.

We dont have a projection for these states yet, but at this point, Id rather be Biden in Pennsylvania and, as Geoffrey said earlier, Wisconsin.
Based on a drop of 13,121 mail ballots in Erie County, PA showing Biden winning them 5:1, it looks like he will win back this swing county that Trump carried. There are abut 37k mail ballots still to be counted in coming days. Dems believe Biden wins them 3 or 4 to 1.

They don't even start counting Milwaukee County mail-in ballots until tomorrow. Their elections commissioner has said they hope to have a final count by the end of the day Wednesday, but that's still more a hope than a promise.
Thanks! Patience then.

(7,715 posts)It just teaches me that we should not expect elections to be called so quickly. ESPECIALLY in a year like 2020 with so much early voting.
