So things are looking pretty good?

I went to bed at 11:00 last night since nothing was happening but it sounds like we are on track to take Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona no? It might not be a blowout but Biden seems to be favored, right? That's the impression I'm getting. Am I wrong?

Aren't these early ballots now? getagrip_already Nov 2020 #19
We might get PA. Here's an interesting post by Drunken Irishman Mike 03 Nov 2020 #8
PA is doable. Nate Cohn tweeted Biden has enough votes to overcome the Con's lead. onetexan Nov 2020 #11

The top level numbers don't show it, so it must be a county reporting calc.

But ec wise we are still in it even without ga.

Also in the district which houses Albany State University, a "historically black" college.

Arizona should be called.
Biden is up in Wisconsin with no more votes out there.
Michigan he's down by 2000 and there's a lot of absentee ballots out.
Georgia is down 100K with Atlanta and suburbs outstanding.
Nevada is touch and go - he's only up 7K, but all of yesterday's votes are counted and it's just absentee outstanding from Clark County.

Those absentee ballots are supposed to tilt blue in a big way. And Clark County's outstanding ballots are supposed to tilt blue too. Where could Trump possibly get votes to win?

I went to bed almost 1, slept fitfully, woke up a few minutes ago, dreading.

It ain't over, and I'll stay positive.

I'm actually more disappointed with the Senate results than I am with Biden not achieving a landslide.
