[sprinkleeninow]

A ton of relatives were/are there. Immediate and then twice and so on removed. But still and all.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. A large number of mailed ballots haven't been counted yet.

[MissB]

2. Millions

2 or 3? More?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I think I read 2.2 million, of which 2/3 are claimed to be from Democrats.

[MyNameIsKhan]

7. Do they know how many ballots are pending or they are projecting? eom

[Salviati]

17. They know how many people returned ballots and which party they identify with.

See my other post below.

[still_one]

8. I also do not believe the Philadelphia and Pittsburg have been counted yet either

[Salviati]

14. Right, Democrats have an advantage of 1.1 million votes in mail in ballots

[Lugnut]

22. This!

I voted by mail as did a lot of my fellow Democrats.

[Qutzupalotl]

3. Early/mail-in votes won't be counted until at least Friday.

Someone said it’s over 2 million ballots, 87% of the total and about 2/3 registered Democrats.

[msongs]

4. should have at least posted today's walk in vote by now nt

[fishwax]

5. some places aren't even starting to count mail in ballots tonight

Pennsylvania is going to require patience.

[Proud liberal 80]

6. It's

Philadelphia on the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama in between

[MissB]

12. Wait. Isn't

Pennslytuckey there somewhere?

[regnaD kciN]

10. It's called the "Red Mirage"...

Most mail-in ballots (predominantly Democratic) haven't been counted yet, while in-person votes (heavily Republican) have.

Even Nate Silver was predicting that Biden could be down by 16 come Wednesday morning, and have won by 5 when Friday is over.

[sprinkleeninow]

20. Same thing with NC. Absentees not counted and have several days yet.

They're showing NC red already.

[bdamomma]

33. Yes

they were saying this could look one way and next could go for Joe. Please let this be true. Keep counting every vote.

[DonaldsRump]

11. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH PA!!!

Please look at the results. A huge amount of votes in blue areas HAVE NOT been counted.

This is exactly the "red mirage". Don't fall for it.

[onetexan]

13. Exactly - votes take time being counted

[sprinkleeninow]

19. I know I know. The dammm cable news.

[Budi]

15. PA will not call it untill "Every Vote is Counted"

It will be tomorrow or as long as it takes.

[mchill]

16. Republicans not allowing mail-in to be counted until Nov 4

For Donald Trump’s BS

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Not true at all

See what they are doing with the mail-ins in Philly?

They are at the PA Convention Center and started at 7 am and will go 24/7 until they are done. The 4 surrounding "rim" counties of Philly are doing the same. Together, the 5 counties have 1/3rd of the state's population.

[appalachiablue]

26. TY, just read about this in the Guardian. Phila has new machines,

newly trained staff to process votes. This year PA loosened mail-in rules, no. is large. Count, Nov. 3 until Friday.

Patience people!!

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Philly had applied for and received a $10 million grant

and we were able to buy that set up in the livestream, which includes (currently-) off-camera high-speed scanners.

PA had a dry run for the first time using these types of ballots for this past spring's primary (originally scheduled for April 28 but delayed until June 2 due to the coronovirus), so many of the election officials got a taste for how it might look. Of course now with spikes in coronavirus and encouragement to "vote by mail" ("early" ), there was an avalanche of these types of votes.

In fact, just literally heard on my local news radio station that the setup going on there can process about 10,000 ballots per hour!

[appalachiablue]

30. Good deal, speedo machines, hope we hear real soon. I'd luv PA

to go JB. And Wisc. is now coming in for him. Georgia would be so sweet.

Keep the faith.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Well I'm hanging onto a couple differences from 2016

1.) DU is still up
2.) PA wasn't suddenly declared overnight

[appalachiablue]

34. Yes by all means, DU still up is a great omen (fingers crossed)

and PA still coming in!! What a night, my 'list' is being prepared; things to do so we don't face this again..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. No, it's PA state law. They don't count mailed ballots

until after the polls close, which effectively means the day after, and this time there are 2.2 million mailed ballots - which could take until Friday to count.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. They were allowed to start canvassing them at when the polls opened & counting when the polls closed

The 5-county Philly metro area is currently counting mail-ins 24/7. as we type. Live stream is in my post above yours.

[budkin]

18. Millions of ballots have not been counted

Biden will take it.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. All the shit they say about NJ, PA is ten times more fucked up.

[blitzen]

27. Biden will win PA. n/t

[UCmeNdc]

29. I said it will come down to PA

Trump identified the state as having to be his months ago. I said here on DU Biden must win PA to nail the coffin shut on Trump.

PA is the key!

[lindysalsagal]

32. You must wait till Friday. The mail has to arrive.

They get 3 days to count every vote.
