Now, did they call Arizona too early? That's their problem to determine, but they have said so far that they won't be retracting their Arizona call...

and if both Georgia and Pa. have Biden with decent leads by midnight or by 4 am or so, it's over and Joe can give his victory speech in the morning!

Biden winning Georgia would not get him to 270, but would stop Trump from be able to get to 270. My understanding that if neither candidate got to 270 State delegates would decide and more of them are republicans so they would give to Trump. So Biden needs to get to 270 or above to literally stop republicans from stealing this from him.

269-269 would go to the House, but Biden would have to lose every other remaining state to hit that

I'm waking to see great news - AZ with the added pleasure of McSally helping us with 2 senators! Was it she who years ago wagged a finger in Obama's face?
