While we don't need PA to win, it would be nice.

So far, Mr. Biden has won absentee voters in Pennsylvania, 78 percent to 21 percent, according to the Secretary of States office. The results comport with the findings of pre-election surveys and an analysis of absentee ballot requests, which all indicated that Mr. Biden held an overwhelming lead among absentee voters.
If Mr. Biden won the more than 1.4 million absentee votes by such a large margin, he would net around 800,000 votes enough to overcome his deficit statewide.
Of course, theres no guarantee that Mr. Biden will win the remaining absentee vote by quite so much. But so far, his standing in the tabulated absentee vote has almost exactly matched our pre-election projections for the absentee vote by county, based on New York Times/Siena polling and data from L2, a political data vendor.

(57,073 posts)Just read a current post in GD entitled "ballgame," which states PA Dem officials privately telling Buden camp that win will be 100-200k votes!

(12,151 posts)Long way to go til their count is completed. Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan -- assuming they come through for Biden -- give him exactly 270. Pennsylvania sure would be nice, and Georgia or North Carolina would be golden. But if it's just 270 in the end, that's enough to evict the traitorous autocrat, so I'll take it.

(23,320 posts)It's nice to see the margin diminish. About a seventh of the margin was wiped out in the last hour or so, and that was with the addition of about 116k votes.
