To me 33,000 not enough if more than 100,000 uncounted ballots remain. Getting close

In this case, it's almost like they're pointing at each other and saying, "YOU DO IT! YOU DO IT!"

They are saying the provisionals they dont know the percentages and wont be known until early next week. But these votes soon to drop they already know the % to the point that the county supervisor they just had on estimated it will be 80% Biden sight unseen. So if they are waiting I dont see why it would be on some arbitrary lead number based on a stack of votes everyone already statistically knows the makeup of.

They haven't gone into the provisional votes yet, not the military absentee votes. Those are scheduled for next Monday or Tuesday.

Count Every Vote!

It's like the deciders are thinking there's a huge amount of Trump votes still remaining out there that will wipe out Biden's lead, even though Biden's lead continues to grow.

around this number, in the 30,000 to 35,000 range? I'm almost positive a DUer heard that and posted it two days ago.
