Ali Velshi just did a state tour and this is what was revealed:

[madaboutharry]

For Trump to win he basically needs to run the tables. He needs PA and some combination of 4 other states to get to 270.

Steve Schmidt is right, this race should be called.

This is allowing Trump to act like an asshole.

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. or...looking at it another way, this is allowing trump to very visibly act like an asshole

there will be collateral damage to the entire repub party (at least there should be)

[Bradshaw3]

2. I wish that were true

Unfortunately, the election didn't seem to reveal much collateral damage from the last four years.

[catbyte]

3. Not to mention the country. This indecision is giving MAGAts the excuse to intimidate and endanger

those American heroes counting votes.

[Mike 03]

5. IMO this is the best and most moral argument for calling the election.

It becomes a moral imperative because of the risk of violence.

[Squinch]

11. I wonder if there is any thought now of announcing on Monday rather than Friday or Saturday

to reduce possible violence. People at work are less likely to riot than people with two days to play.

[Casandia]

12. My husband reminded me that Monday

is trash day. Sounds like the perfect time to call the election for Biden! Take the dump trash out.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. An honest FBI will investigate the living daylights out of Trump Crime Family.

There will be daylight, at the very least. And that scares the cockroaches.

[DownriverDem]

20. Except

his base is organizing and protesting. They were out in Downtown Detroit earlier. I just heard how the Proud Boys called for protesting at 8. The Detroit Police are there already.

[Mike 03]

4. NYT reporter is saying that, barring a "tabulation error" Biden

is virtually guaranteed to win GA:

Nate Cohn, in New York 11m ago

I don't think we're getting a call in Georgia for weeks, but we have such a good accounting of remaining ballots that Trump may need a tabulation error to win.

Even if GA doesn't "call" its own election, can media decision desks make the call at some point. Who wants to wait for weeks?

[madaboutharry]

6. Yes.

News organizations can do whatever they want.

[Mike 03]

7. Thank you.

[uponit7771]

23. +1, yes

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. Best to just let the process run its course and disregard tRump.....

and much of the media. Not sure what the big rush is all about since we're all confident Joe and Kamala have won.


KY......

[George II]

10. I noticed that. Assuming that he won NC and Biden won AZ (called by Fox and AP), he needs...

...all three of the remaining states - NV, PA, and GA.

[proud patriot]

13. it looks like Ali is running the board while Steve sleeps

I really like Ali

[ffr]

14. It's going to be 306 and the sum of that stats at this point conclude the race should be called.

Then again, the 25th amendment should be finishing off the ever increasingly radical and out of control tRump, but republicans have no spine.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. The longer they stretch this out the better the ratings and the shorter Lame Duck mischief

They are easing MAGAt world into reality

[Mr.Bill]

16. If the press wants to call it, that's fine with me.

But states and counties have procedures for certifying their elections, and no one has the authority to over ride that on a national level. Legally "calling" an election without counting every vote would be a dangerous precedent besides being illegal.

[yaesu]

17. Networks are afraid of tRump & his unhinged masses, it the count favored tRump the networks

would have called it by now.

[Javaman]

18. There will come a point where won't be enough ballots left to over come Biden's lead

At that point call it

[KPN]

19. Trump and the GOP are in the process of figuratively

hanging themselves and the media is doing its darnedest to join them.

[peacebuzzard]

21. I am enjoying the relief. Blues win. I can sleep better now.

Just keep counting, a post above stated there would be less lame duck damage. I think that poster is right. Just run out the clock.

[warmfeet]

22. There is no circumstance

where tRump will not act as an asshole.

[kairos12]

24. Exactly. Chump continues to intimidate the networks. Disgrace.

[trof]

25. Trump doesn't need 'allowance'.

We can absolutely depend on him to be an asshole no matter what the circumstances.

[pwb]

26. I enjoy seeing the pukes squirm.

My bad.

[BobTheSubgenius]

27. As the old expression goes...

...stick a fork in him. Except, if ya can, not merely metaphorically. Really, stab him with a fork. One of those big meat forks that you see around backyard grills.

[MichaelSoE]

28. Sorry to disagree but

Trump isn't acting.
