Arizona Number Crunch: Looks Good

The last dump was 67,000 votes and Trump picked up 7000. This is Maricopa County. Trump is netting 9.5% of the outstanding vote. Meaning for every hundred votes counted, Trump reduces Biden's lead by 9.5 votes.

There are 126,000 regular ballots remaining. Of the remaining 92,000 are Maricopa.

47,000 provisional ballots remain. These ballots tend to skew D and/or many of these won't count. Further, these won't be counted until next week.

So by tomorrow, all the regular ballots will be counted and assuming the same trend, 126k X .095

=11970

Biden's current lead is 29861
Minus 11970

17891 Biden wins

Let's assume that all the provisional ballots follow the same trend.

Bidens lead 29861 - 16435

13426 Biden wins.

Well, no. gristy Nov 2020 #5
Wouldn't Biden only win by 1,456 if the trend applied to all remaining ballots? Renew Deal Nov 2020 #6
but 180,000 ballots overall remaining, estimated Roland99 Nov 2020 #7
Many provisionals in that count Fahrenthold451 Nov 2020 #13

Trump needed >59% of remaining vote in each dump to catch up, and has missed that several times. Curious what the percentage is this time

It says Trump missed his target on the last dump,
making it more difficult to hit the remaining targets
and he's running out of votes.

Sorry, I was just looking for numbers or a chart. Figured you had them, since you had so many already. It was about 55%, below the 59% needed earlier
