    Mixed messaging coming out of NV obviously, CNN just reporting again that they may get an update soon but maybe they just didn't get the latest memo

    "People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

    Georgia will be finished tonight.

    As per county election director in a press conference from the count centre now. Not many votes left to go through the machines - about 30/40k left.

    5 hours to go though he says, after midnight their time, its 7.15pm there now

    He still said more votes can come in, military etc

    Georgia update is they expect their count to go at least another 5 hours. They are confident they'll finish tonight, so early morning for us.

    CNN now say Nevada's Secretary of State hopeful of releasing more votes later. This is confusing.

    The only thing I find confusing is that they announced last night that they were stopping until tomorrow morning.

    Now it's for Fulton County.

    Another positive from today is that my knowledge of US county names and locations has increased even more than Biden's vote rate today.:D

    The Donald went down to Georgia
    He was lookin' for a vote to steal
    He was in a bind
    'Cause he was way behind
    And he was willin' to make a deal.


    CNN expecting new totals in Arizona tonight as well.

    Worth noting that McConnell is saying that all votes will be counted. I’d imagine had Trump delayed ACB’s nomination, we’d be getting a different tune. It would seem Trump’s usefulness is gone.

    Yeah Fulton County 132K votes. What I would having seen two of these vote counting centres on CNN is that, they should ask us to send over staff to show them how to layout a room and do a count.

    Could it be said that polling in 2016 was weak + very unlucky
    Whatas this time polling was way off but lucky (in whats been counted)

    CNN say Georgia will update numbers in ten minutes.

    Just watched Wolf and Kinger on CNN. For the 1st time, I'm gonna call something!

    Biden will take Georgia. He's getting 70-80% of the outstanding ballots in the Atlanta and surrounding areas. And there's more than enough there to give him 10,000+ over the line...

    So, I'm calling GA, NV and AZ for Sleepy Joe... PA then becomes a 'nice to have' piece of cake icing, but not crucial. And then, the GOP tells Donnie to Man Up and Stop Whinging... It's sooo Over! Put Rudey back in his coffin along with the other vampires...

    I’ve decided to listen to msnbc and see how long I stay awake. Btw if John king is late nineties Jordan than Steve Kornacki is rookie Kobe.

    Judging by that last sentence, yes, you need sleep... :D

    I think Biden will win all of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. That would bring him to 306.

    I wouldn't even completely rule out North Carolina looking at the map and what's left to count there.

    I think he said 185,000 ballots still outstanding but they would have results from 35k or so available later tonight. Even after those, there will be 150k plus military receivable up to Friday to be tabulated..

    They're really finding out that mail in and early ballots need to be processed before polling day.

    I believe some states give people the right to change their minds till election day which would make it impossible.

    Credit to Manicmoran here who I believe said that before (and apologies if I misquoted you)

    The outstanding ballots in Philadelphia will take out Trump adv in PA from my calculations.

    The early ballots were processed in FL. That's why their count was so quick.

    Yeah, same, seems as good a line-in-the-sand as any to wait for and call it a night after.
    Can't handle a second night of a few bits and pieces of sleep caught here and there!

    I'll concur on a 306 final EV count for Biden. Bring It!

    This whole thing has been crazy, i went to bed late last night with Trump more or less having it won with just to dot the i's and cross the t's. Woke up and it's all to play for. I was in a bit of a bubble at work so didn't really hear anything and when i get out and turned on the radio, i hear Rudy screaming and basically treathening to sue everyone.
