True. But it's tagged red by some margin right now.

It is absolutely irrelevant, if you win by 1 or by 1 mill you get the EC vote

Popular vote in PA is still important and a large number of mail in ballots have to be counted. You really are misinformed.

It’s funny thinking back to 4am to 5am last night and the panic within the ranks. You read and prepare for the ‘red mirage’ but when you see Trump up 16 in Pennsylvania and 8 in Michigan it is hard not to get worried.

That was a long night.

Arizona is. Texas will not become solid blue.

More specifically talking about NM, AZ and NV. Its the urbanisation of TX around Austin, Dallas Forth Worth and Houston that is moving Texas towards Purple, or less red at least

So apparently Biden has broken the record for most votes ever?

Wow. Just shows how popular he is

Biden derangement syndrome will curse trump now for the rest of his life

Is there anywhere I could get a breakdown of what the electoral college votes would look like if states had to split them based on percentage of the vote

Still 12,000 between them in Michigan, it hasn't gone blue yet. But still approx. 10% of votes left to be counted.

Trump's speech earlier was a disgrace, to me it beggars belief that he got a single vote, nevermind x number of million. Christ Almighty

Nope, in fact still has a clear path to victory.

I can see this dragging on. Looks like Biden could clinch it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump spends the rest of his time trying to discredit the result and bring it to the courts, regardless of evidence.

I find it bizarre that so many people(including many on this thread) are championing this course of action. People speak of Trump as some sort of messiah who can do no wrong and cannot fail, when he’s arguably the worst President the US has ever had.

It seems like millions of Americans don’t actually care about the democratic process anymore, as long as they’re on the winning side they don’t care how they got there.

I reckon this will role on for weeks now. absantee ballots will be double and triple checked

Well that would just look like the popular vote, surely?

Edit: oh i guess you mean the per-state popular vote. Hmmm

It’s give a false picture though. Some republicans won’t vote in obvious democrat states (and vice versa obviously)

You want to clear up what you mean about PA’s popular vote not mattering?

When you consider this, the country is in a bad place and Biden winning may only provide temporary respite.

I don't mind supporters doing it. I feel some are still premature calling it for Biden here.

Trump calling it last night was ridiculous. I guess it is all to build a narrative which is all he cares about. Looks like the media was ready for it after his warnings and didn't bite.

well its playing out now , trump and his team obviously saw what was going to unfold , why would someone say he was going to go to the supreme court if he was going to win

What I mean is if a state has 6 votes and votes 66% Biden then he gets 4 and Trump 2.

It would be interesting to see if it would change things much

4 years later and people couldn't accept the fact trump won, tried everything to get him out. So if trump goes down the same route it will go to show both sides are as bad as each other.

Does anyone know what the current status is of the Senate / House elections? Control of either likely to change hands?

I've been urging caution on looking at US politics through a European lens for a long time. America is a very foreign country and to many over there (almost 70 million so far) he's god's gift. I find it hard to fathom myself, but he represents a large part of what America is.

Way to twist things. Good job. If you took that from what I said then more power to you.

More a sign of how high the turnout was for this election as Trump is on course to also beat the previous record

irishfeen

Wrecked tired but this has been ridiculously addictive since 11pm last night.

While very tentative and early, it looks like the Blue wall could be a brick high. It all depends on the swing of early voting and if it can hold up for Biden.
