    I don't know if anyone has arranged the data yet to show the most extreme Biden/Trump counties yet though.

    From a quick going over I see that Cleburne in Bama is 89.8% Trump. I'd say there's bound to be a few more counties in the deep South touching 90%.


    EDIT: Cameron County LA is 90.9% Trump. Bottom left county in LA. 3994 total votes though.

    Thanks- yes, I'm using the Guardian one and am enjoying the nerdiness of it- just wanted to see the ultras in each camp.

    Trump supporters , it seems to be one of the most used phrases on these threads , usually in contempt.

    Biden supporters , that phrase is hardly ever used for some reason.

    Who do the people support who are changing the opposing messages dependent on where their hero is currently positioned in polling?

    And what have Biden fans done during this counting process that you would like me to condemn?

    Grant County and Arthur county in Nebraska both in the 90% regions for Trump. Mind you both counties only had about 400 votes total each.
    But in general all of Nebraksa outside the cities of Lincoln and Omaha is basically in the 70/80/90% regions for Trump, although with tiny populations in many of the counties.

    So they reckon PA will report numbers tonight.

    Trump cannot win if Biden takes this so that should be the key focus now.

    No one can beat , but might equal Dixville Notch - 100% for Biden.

    Always get a bit of press , they hold the election at midnight and count right away - Only 5 Voters!!

    I'm getting quite a Downfall-esque feeling from Trump's panic stricken tweets and frivolous court challenges.
    Not quite the same as sending out 15 year olds sharing a rifle with 5 bullets, but equally futile.
    I wonder what the mood is in the White House right now.
    Who have already started clearing their desks and are trying to escape through enemy lines?
    How much of the country will they try to destroy before they leave?

    More than anything I want him to lose now just for the resubtitled downfall clip

    Biggest percentage for Biden aside from DC seems to be San Fran? 86.3%.

    And after Dixville too.

    This must be excruciating for Trump and his supporters to see all of these states fall one by one : Wisconsin, Michigan, probably Pennsylvania, possibly Georgia. Hell there was even a bizarrely long time on election night when Virginia was red!

    What's even worse is that there were many periods throughout the past 2 days where things looked really optimistic for him. They say "it's the hope that kills you" after all.




    Disclaimer: If Trump somehow pulls it out of the bag that pain would be 10 times worse for his opponents.

    And his legal claims are being bitch slapped out of court in both Georgia and Michigan, with the Michigan judge in particular seeming pretty exasperated that they even filed given the "evidence"

    550,000 votes left in PA. Biden needs 58-61% and Trump needs 38-40%.

    Biden polling at around 75%.

    I belive they almost couldn't hold the ballot last time round because someone had left town and they needed 5 local volunteers as the various election official roles, basically themselves.

    Luckily someone new moved in to the area soon enough before the election.

    Discussed in detail on CNN. Not all the votes remaining are urban. Biden polls 75% in urban areas but Trump gets upwards of 60% rural. Can’t remember the breakdown of urban vs rural remaining.

    It happened in 2016, there were 7 votes. 5 Clinton and 2 for trump.

    They may have driven them out, they may have murdered them, can never say for sure :D

    Up to 17,000 votes in heavily democratic Chatham County, GA yet to be tallied.

    They're to be released "at end of business today" which you would assume will be by midnight Irish time.

    Biden currently trailing by about 13,500 votes in GA.

    Absolutely correct but the urban vote, for obvious reasons, is far more important.

    Very difficult to see Trump holding on there.

    Edit: I should also add that they are only counting mail-in ballots. CNN just said that there was only 1 county where Trump won a county with mail in votes. Also said in Philly the mail in ballots are up to 95% for Biden.

    Maricopa County will announce its next numbers at ~2am.

    This would likely seal Arizona one way or the other.

    Biden is coming in better than Clinton was in 2016 in most rural areas and add to that the mail in vote (that they are now counting) is trending blue nearly everywhere when compared to the in person. There maybe some areas that come in something like 60% for Trump but I don't see many of them with a lot of raw vote totals

    Not necessarily, as I believe they are waiting for votes to come in from another area that should have a fair amount of blue votes but yeah if trump doesn't pull ahead by a good bit I'd say that will probably do it for AZ and fox can breathe a sigh of relief

    Isn't that the county of the famous sheriff Joe Arpaio? He seemed aggressively pro Trump, but is there a sense of what the county's overall leanings might be?

    Democrat leaning. And it is significantly the largest county left to vote; larger than the rest of the outstanding counties combined.

    Yes Georgia is going the right direction for Biden. Not sure will he run out votes to be counted before he passes Trump?
    I think Maricopa outstanding ballots will half the 13K lead.

    It seems that joe Biden and Kamala Harris are having a briefing on the coronavirus. That’s a stark difference to trump. Now Biden may be doing it to show the difference between himself and trump. But I think it’s that he doesn’t dismiss this stuff out of hand because it’s not good. IF he becomes president it’s clear he’ll be better on that score.
