Are there enough outstanding votes in PA to overcome the advantage Trump... (Original Post)

(128,363 posts)1. At least a million or more mail-in ballots
Claustrum
(4,845 posts)2. Yes. I think there is over a million mail in votes.
If it goes 2:1 to Biden, it could potentially overcome Trump's lead.

(54,770 posts)3. The "experts" keep saying so, but I have my doubts. Those ballots have to go well over 70% for
Biden. It's possible. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to make a difference in reaching 270, but it would be nice to have extra EC votes.

(128,363 posts)8. Most are going to come out of Philly
and they are processing 10,000 an hour, having received over 400,000 of them and only able to extract them and start processing them yesterday morning. They are working 24/7 and are being live-streamed -

(19,264 posts)9. Well Democrats voted by mail more than 2:1 over Republicans in PA.
Still it looks like it will be very close.

(32,017 posts)6. It's close.
There are roughly a million votes outstanding. Joe needs to win 75% of them to overcome Velveeta Voldemorts lead. Well see.

It was close in WI and MI, and it will surely be close in PA too.
I'm so relieved that AZ and the NE district went blue!
