Next stop for the Trump Train - Rikers Island. State of New York will do us all proud.
I miss John and Elijah every day.
Very proud the entire country voted and despite the pressure, an insane man-child in the WH, pandemic, sabotage at the post office, voter suppression, cries for violence we have pulled it off.

(54,770 posts)have until tomorrow to come in. They expect up to 8000 of those.
While we can argue over how red one thinks military is, those arent going to swing heavily for Biden. Out of the 47K, 12K or so are from red counties. trump is up 12,800 right now. There are some ballots that need signatures, etc.
Discounting military ballots and provisional, we need to get about 63.6% to equal beat trump by 60 votes. I'm betting the military goes 60% or more to trump. If so and it's 8000, we are down 1540 with provisional outstanding.
On the other hand, if one thinks 4000 votes from a county like Forsyth -- that literally did not have one Black resident (because the racists threatened to kill them) -- until 1980s, will swing Biden by 60% or so, I wish you were calling it. There are another couple of counties like that.

Either way...

(2,205 posts)Even if the total of 47k breaks 75-25 as majority of vote is in heavy D counties.
Biden has 35250
Trump 11750 + current lead 12800 = 24550
Biden is +10700

(25,555 posts)That's why I was skeptical when someone said they were from blue areas. I said all outstanding needs to be from at least 70% Biden if Biden is to pull this off. A net of 10 for Trump means that Biden was less than 50% in the last batch of voters.

(9,459 posts)for Biden is my guess.
