Does anybody know how these votes are being reported and counted so quickly?

It's not electronic voting is it?

No but they have machines to do the count, and it's not proportional representation so it's much faster (is my understanding).

NY Times needle has Georgia at 83% Trump and North Carolina at 66% Trump.

It's happening again.

An nbc exit poll suggest that moderates have swung heavily to Lindsay Graham’s democratic opponent.

Florida worried me but everywhere else looks to be more closely following the polls now. Hopefully by around 3am it'll be called for Biden.

Some is early voting. Most states use voting machines. Each state decides how they do it themselves.

Hand filled ballots, machine counted. (you mark the little circle so computer can read it)

NC looking good at the minute, strong numbers with almost 2/3 of the vote.

Ohio is good also but it’s closing slightly. Biden is doing well in some states.

That’s a good sign. There are strong numbers for Biden in other places.

Think Trump won by 8% in Ohio last time, even just to run it close would be a good sign for Biden in PA and Michigan.

Optical scanners where it's not electronic.
Early votes are pre-counted in some states.

I thought Georgia was fancied to go to Biden? Pretty sure YouGov indicated that earlier.

Pretty sure it and Ohio were both the closest polling states to being 50/50 through the campaign (or later part of it).

"If someone told us 4 years ago that Biden would be close in Georgia we would say 'no! Georgia is a deep red state."

Trump only won GA by 5% in 2016, it really wouldn't kill some of these people to prepare for their jobs.

Anyone got good sites for live results. As in just the data. CNN are doing my head in focussing on Florida.

I like how Google are doing it

Those results are suburban counties of the big towns you mention.

What's interesting is that there isn't really that many of the rural areas to fill in when it comes to Ohio from what I saw but maybe I saw it wrong.

Looks good for him alright

Florida is now safe so they should bloody move on.

Biden still 11 points up, 45% counted in Ohio. Looks good.

They are currently on North Carolina and have touched on Ohio tbf to them and parts of Texas. They are definitely moving away from Florida.

Am I missing something? Biden up 300k in Ohio with no reporting from Cincinnati or Cleveland? 42% counted?

Yeah they're really missing the story.

Here's 2 links posted before with live results. Ohio and North Carolina the ones to watch, if they're blue it's all good for Biden.

42% is counted from Cleveland, but you're right - none from Cincinnati yet which is a little surprising.

Some states are safe, some aren't. They have been burned on Florida before and Florida is always a rollercoaster so they will get their money's worth out of it.

Bloomberg seems right there

CNN should use blue or red stripes for states that are still being counted. Texas was completely blue then when they zoomed in there was one blue and one red district - silly stuff that could easily be sorted

I'm on a twitter live chat with Bradley Whitford as he watches the results come in. He's in Canada filming.

Quite surreal to be interacting with Josh Lyman on election night

How can you say Trump (as much as I don't like him) is unpopular if he's won Florida.

He's clearly very popular. That's why he won in 2016.

I didn't mention Trump
