    Losing the Senate (looks likely Reps will hold on) is the bigger issue for the Democrats. It'll mean nothing will be done in Washington for the next 4 years.

    its at 47 apiece so far according to fox

    There's 2 seats up for grabs in December though?

    I can't see Nevada leaning for lockdown, I think Trump might scrape it.

    The only votes left to count in Nevada are mail-in votes. All in person is done. Unless those mail-ins buck the national trend then it's Bidens.

    Yeah, but come on if he does that he'll be disqualified if the referee sees it.

    Oh absolutely. It's the nightmare scenario for the democrats. Lame duck president heading into his 80's and no Senate to get anything done.

    One of the Georgia seats is going to a run off.

    That's Loeffler's. That'll likely stay GOP now.

    Biden extends lead in Wisconsin to 11k votes.

    Even if Biden pulls off a miracle here with mail in votes and get's it past the supreme court he'll be a lame duck president from day one. The utter embarrassment of only squeaking past Trump despite having more money to campaign with, big media on his side, social media on his side, Hollywood on his side, Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis on his side etc... etc... and still only getting in by a hair is frankly pathetic.

    A disaster for the Democrats.

    All it proves it how thick the American public are.

    CNN analysis would suggest Biden is likely to increase his lead in Wisconsin & there is nowhere Trump is likely to make it back.

    That flies in the face of what has been said earlier, that people vote GOP regardless if their nomination is/would be a racist, bigot, liar etc.?

    How could it be a 'disaster' (very Trumpy that one!) for the Democratic party, given that it's impossible to turn those voters? Lets assume that there is only a very marginal amount of people who would be willing to admit they shouldn't have voted for Tump, then this would be a wonderful success for the Democrats, a truly wonderful achievement to get enough to turn them and get over the line.

    The top two candidates from the first round of voting go to a second round.

    I went to bed at 4 thinking Biden was done, got up to get kids to school and thought CNN were kind of clutching at straws. Went back to bed and just up and now Biden is favourite with bookies and CNNs logic is actually adding up.

    This has been a remarkable election, box office regardless of your preference.

    Referee will either be knocked out in an accidental collision or Ivanka will distract him by showing a bit of flesh. You think the Premiership refereeing is bad...WWF is absolutely atrocious.

    If you didn't put up a screenshot after asking others to do so that makes you a hypocrite and most likely a liar.

    Two highest placed candidates from the election go head to head as neither achieved over 50%.

    Similar to what France does for their presidential elections.

    You're reinforcing my point for me. I think it may have gone over your head though.

    8k votes in it so far, clark and washoe are only slightly ahead for Dems , they could be drowned by all the smaller ones together going red with those kind of margins. Its not very likely but NV is still on the table.

    I agree NV is still on the table, I was just responding to your point that all the counties left were red as hell. Clark County, the biggest county, is typically and currently blue.

    They are really grasping at straws on this one. It's like the ball is circling the inside of the net ring and they are saying it will flip out by some mirracle.

    Clark has 72% of voters though.

    It'll be tight, but Biden should take it.

    Wayne County (Detroit) in Michigan only 55% reporting - and so far has been overwhelmingly for Biden.
