Trump tweets 'STOP THE COUNT!' But if the vote were stopped, Joe Biden would win the presidency

Donald Trump on Thursday called for election officials to stop counting votes, but as the count currently stands he would not be reelected if that happened.

"STOP THE COUNT!" Trump tweeted.

At the moment, Biden has 253 electoral votes and Trump has 214, per Decision Desk HQ. A candidate needs 270 to win the presidency.

Biden is ahead of Trump in both Arizona and Nevada, which have not yet been called by Decision Desk HQ. If vote counting stopped right now and the election was called, the two states would give Biden 17 electoral votes and he would hit 270 votes overall. Though Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, three states that also remain uncalled, collectively those states would not give him enough electoral votes to defeat Biden.

Posted this an hour ago:

Biden needs 17 electoral votes to hit 270 -- and thanks to Nevada and Arizona, he's already got them.

Via either collusion or Biden's request, they're simply waiting for orders to drop the other shoe...


You're being rope-a-doped, President Duh Donald -- and by a former Obama employee!

Including WI, Biden has a total of 253 accounted-for electoral votes, and with NV (6 votes) and AZ (11) in the bag, he's already at 270.

Including AK, Trump has a total of 217 accounted-for electoral votes: winning all three of the unaccounted-for states (16 plus 15 plus 20 votes respectively) would give him a grand total of only 268.
