Why didn't Rachel mention to Kornacki that Rep. Gallego...

[brush]

of Maricopa county told her before Kornacki's latest "horserace" report, that his district and the neighboring district, both blue, have 30,000 votes still out (30k+30=60k). And being from a blue district, trump will not get the magical 59% of those votes that Kornacki keeps gushing that trump is so far meeting to catch Biden?

And there are also some 53k some votes from blue Pima and Coconino counties still to be tallied. Kornacki just concentrates on Maricopa county.

I hope Rachel isn't going along with the "horserace" narrative. It was just logical that she would've mentioned Rep. Gallego's report to Kornacki when he finished his report about how fast trump was catching up.

1. No matter which network, they loves 'em a "horserace". Keeps eyeballs on the screen. nt

2. Actually, I think the first batch of votes from Maricopa did get 60% Trump yesterday.

I think it has come down a bit more but we don't know if they will be as blue as we want. Kornacki's explanation is that they were mail-in that was dropped off instead because Trump didn't want them to mail it.

5. Did you read the OP?

3. Trump has been gaining votes from the Maricopa updates.

He's been running about 60/40 on the last few. He's gained votes from the last several updates.

8. Did you read the OP?

[TwilightZone]

13. I did. I don't think you understand what he's saying.

"trump will not get the magical 59% of those votes "

Trump is getting 60% average of *all* the ballots that have been updated since last night, including areas other than Maricopa.

[brush]

17. His reports are from Maricopa. He always points that out.

4. I can't stand Kornaki I just watched him and he has me worried sick now

about Trump getting Arizona. Then Trump's lead in PA worries me.

[TwilightZone]

7. We should be concerned about AZ, but it's not going to be needed.

At the current pace, it's going to be extremely close. Kornacki is spot-on.

Biden is going to win PA easily so it won't matter.

[brush]

12. Read the OP again. There are thousands of votes still to come in...

from blue districts that Kornacki seems to be ignoring.

[TwilightZone]

14. You haven't been paying attention.

Trump is getting 60% average of *all* the ballots that have been updated since last night, including areas other than Maricopa. Not all of the votes counted since last night are from Maricopa.

[brush]

16. I have been paying attention. His reports are from Maricopa.

6. rachel made an error. trump just won 59% of the latest drop and she said the biden camp

said we need to hold trump to UNDER 59% no dear, 59% for trump is bad

[TwilightZone]

10. 59% is exactly what Trump needs to close the gap.

That's been confirmed multiple times since they first showed the math last night. Rachel is correct.

[brush]

15. I'm not saying that rate that trump needs is wrong.

I'm saying that there are thousands of votes from blue districts, some even in Maricopa county, that trump won't get close to that threshold.

She just had Rep. Gallego on from Maricopa county who told her his and the neighboring district, also blue, have a combined 60k votes still to be tallied, and the will favor Biden, not trump.

[somaticexperiencing]

9. How does Trump get 59% in a county like Maricopa which is supposed to be...

Democratic?

I just don't get it.

I hate Kornacki too. Expect him to confess, "I voted for Trump!" any minute. He takes such delight in making things sound terrible for Democrats such glee.

But why is this lead narrowing when remaining votes are supposed to be more from Democratic strongholds? Why oh why? Anybody know?

11. Order from above?
