    Trump's way ahead in Pennsylvania, with 35% to be counted.

    Biden will pull out Pennsylvania, that will be enough

    CNN reporting Biden only took one in NE rather than 2

    Trump has gained 4 more since that.

    Live score is 224 vs 213

    Believe me, it looks a good deal better than it did at 4am.

    Biden has a fighting chance now.

    He looked dead in the water a few hours ago.

    The NE -2 is the district not the number of EC votes.

    Edit: I think.

    What the hell is going on in Georgia? I completely wrote that off about 4 hours ago.

    Mail voting being counted in Atlanta, would give Biden a greater than 50% chance of winning that state now, if he can pull that out then Trump should concede immediately

    I'm having trouble understanding this. As it is described on the main US channels, you would think that Biden is favourite to win, but Paddy Power now have Trump at 2/5 and Biden at 15/8. Most other betting shops the same. Are they offsetting?

    Trump will never concede. He'll have to be forced to.

    Trump was 1/5 at one point earlier. It's just reacting to the money going on. In PA Trump's lead looks excellent til you check where the votes that haven't been counted are coming from.

    Georgia? He's about 118k with I think ~300k to be counted.

    But is the 300k mail in or in person ? Hopefully when the pandemic is over this stuff has made it hard to know what’s being counted from which pile.

    Upshot has Biden as the slight favourite to win Georgia:

    No you are not.

    Biden put out a statement asking people to "keep the faith". That's as good as admitting defeat.

    I think giving energy to racists and bigots everywhere is enough to give any sane human dread.

    Amazing how you have no problem with the DJT supporters and their "interest" in this election.

    I was simply asking a question about the pearl clutching melodrama in both those posts.

    If I had seen posts with from these “Irish Trump Supporters” that were showing a similar level of hysteria I would have included them too but I didn’t see any posts favouring Trump at all.

    Your response was somewhat bigoted itself by assuming I have any “side” in the purpose of my post.

    There’s over 450k to be counted, with a lot of those in Atlanta + suburbs.

    Georgia is absolutely not over...yet.
