assuming you think he lost AZ or if think it is still in play he must win PA, and win all but one of NV, AZ, and GA.

Biden's numbers keep going up, while Trump has been stuck at 213 or 214 forever.

If Trump gets the three red states not yet called -

Nevada would put him over the top.

The fact that AP has called WI, MI and Fox has called AZ doesn't mean anything officially.

If that doesn't work, send Driuliani and his brood of lawyers to MAGA SMASH the state elections.

Trump has 214. Lets assume he ends up with AK + NC that would give him 232. I think that will be his final EV count.



To get over 270 he would need to win PA, GA and either AZ or NV

232 + PA + GA = 268. Then either AZ or NV to get over 270.

Will that happen? No of course not but until it is impossible to happen the media will keep talking about it. Horsies got to race.

Right above the tree, there are buttons to select the winner in each of the remaining States to show the remaining paths to 270 based on different scenarios.
