Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have been seeing the same headline for at least 8 hours about
Joe Biden is going to pull ahead in PA but the numbers haven't changed all night.
If they are supposed to be counting the votes all night are they asleep or maybe waiting to make the big
announcement giving PA to Biden? They have been saying numbers coming any minute for 8 f--g hours.

(1,990 posts)58,000 of the 163,000 is Philadelphia. It will flip in another couple of batches (hopefully). I am so ready to finish this thing off.

(5,269 posts)Trump won one suit where court ruled observers can watch from just 6 feet from election workers. Election boards in Alleghany Co. had to stop totally yesterday and will not release their 35000 remaining votes until later today. We would already know if Repubs hadn't done everything in their power to slow counting down by making precincts halt counting or have to count much more carefully.

(4,845 posts)There was a lady on CNN last night explaining the halt was always expected due to a 3rd party mailing service mailing 29,000 ballots that were wrong, so they had to resend them. And the court gave them until today to return the ballots. So they have to wait till after today to do their counting. It was decided before election day.

(4,845 posts)I was going to stay up but I couldn't resist sleep. I thought PA would be blue but only GA turned blue so far.
I guess it's good though. It's better to flip in the day time so Biden can do his speech with people awake and watching.

(28,858 posts)Vote counting did go on all night, but then the SOS
and others went home after saying results would
be released in batches of a few thousand each.
There are still many outstanding ballots to be checked
and counted, and that must start at 5pm today by
court order.
We will get some results this morning that will put
Joe Biden ahead; and the rest of the results will
increase that lead incrementally -- through tomorrow.
