    Is Nevada likely to turn Red now?
    Biden only has an 8000 lead, and there's still a good chunk of votes to go from what I'm reading

    This gives some credence to the Trump camp's argument in a call with reporters that it expects to pull ahead in Arizona, because most of the outstanding vote is in Trump-friendly territory.


    Are you just parroting twitter accounts and passing them off as your own words?

    It's mail ins in a very democratic county. It's possible but very unlikely.

    Aren't the remaining votes mail in? Tough task for Trump to over turn that lead. Apparently there are no more Nevada counts until tomorrow.

    It shouldn't be.

    Postal voting should be reliable and non controversial.

    It really doesn't help that people like Trump's mate louis Dejoy did his best to hobble the UPS, or states deciding to close huge numbers of polling places, especially in areas with more minorities

    E.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/02/texas-polling-sites-closures-voting

    4.7 million people with one drop off location
    https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/11/texas-ballot-drop-off-locations/
    https://www.npr.org/2020/10/13/923216392/u-s-appeals-court-sides-with-texas-on-one-per-county-ballot-drop-off

    It's been quite a strategy from Trump. Consistently try to undermine confidence in postal voting and tell his voters not to use it, while Democrats will use it in mass due to not being covid deniers by and large, and due to reduction in number of polling places in democratic areas.

    This means on election night he knows he'll get an early lead and can cry foul when the postal votes start getting counted to overturn his early leads.

    Meanwhile simultaneously he's been doing everything he can to genuinely undermine the postal vote by underfunding the post office and making it harder for them to actually deliver votes, which he knows will be mostly Democrat, on time. But knowing that if the Dems actually call this out he can say they're hypocrites or say that they admit postal votes are not legitimate.

    Maybe the democrats were just making up the stories about the big bad racist Trump voting monsters, surely you were smart enough to realise Trump probably wasnt a racist and Joe probably didnt touch kids.

    Surely.

    Don't forget the military and overseas votes aren't in yet, as far as I know!

    This is what I've been wondering about. I saw a flurry of articles earlier calling Arizona for Biden but looking at the county breakdown of what's still out there to come in, it looks very much undecided.

    Most of the votes still to be counted are postal votes, which are likely to favour Biden.

    Not sure on that , but that would be comparatively small numbers spread across the whole country so probably aren't going to move the needle all that much for anyone in the remaining States.

    I don't know what goes on in Trump's head but he certainly inflames racial tensions rather than the reverse and, at the very least, he wholeheartedly enjoys the support of 'interesting' voters and endorsements from outright racists.

    Having said that Trump is absolutely correct when he asks 'what have you been doing for the last 45 years, Joe?' when they discuss the US's problems.

    Do we have expected or estimated numbers on how many of those votes are expected, and therefore if they'd have an effect on the result if one candidate were already ahead by more

    Yea they will be small numbers but I expect the majority to be Biden after what Trump said about the military members who died in action and I think Americans living abroad will get a very different view on Trump and America.

    Yeah Fox called it based on the incorrect numbers assuming that the gap couldn't be closed.

    A lot of people on here saying Arizona is still a done deal for Biden regardless. I wouldn't be so sure. Plenty of strong Trump counties to report yet. I think its fair to say its still in play, for now.

    Or perhaps we should wait until all the votes are counted before saying the polls were way off...

    614,553 ballots returned in 2016
    No idea how reliable this source is.

    Its his strategy for a lot of things.. destabilise/discredit the media (but of course not when they support him), same with "Big Tech" - no apparently they are censoring..

    Spread blame and attack the other guy/system/thing.. anything at all to detract from his own lack of substance.

    Classic narcissism... now tho we get to be entertained by the break down - lets hope the lasting damage is contained as much as possible.

    Trump won Wisconsin by almost the same margin in 2016 - 22,748.
