This AZ win for Biden (along with the two D.senate seats) is like John McCain flipping the bird at trump one last time, from the grave.

1. Decisive Senate vote to keep Obamacare
2. Senate Seat 1 lost
3. Trump kept away from from McCain funeral
4. Senate Seat 2 lost
5. AZ goes blue in 2020 presidential race

Trump's constant disparaging of McCain effectively poisoned the well for him and other high-profile GOP prospects in Arizona.

on election night or soon thereafter. They've had Biden at 290 for days. My login at yahoo also has him at 290.

Only GA now to get Joe to 306.

that is because the state pays for a recount, so they don't want one.

and why would they know anything special?

I tried following their links and got into a circle.

who are they and who runs this outfit?

While I was posting, several responses appeared. I went to the Slate article and still don't know a whole lot more. I'll do more digging.

data to the networks/media. To the media, they amount to a sub-contractor, but they also provide calls on their own accord similar to AP.

that Biden would end with 309 electoral votes. That's AZ and GA added to the current totals they have for Biden.
