    Recount set to go ahead in Georgia.

    Still potentially over 8,000 military votes yet to be included in the count which are likely to favour Trump.

    I wish they would call it. It’s like they’ve taken the annoying pause at the decision time in reality TV shows and applied it to the election.

    I could see more and more communities doing this, which will make a very stark contrast between those refusing to accept the result.

    Biden supporters dancing in the Streets.
    Trump supporters yelling outside counting centres.

    And do you know what, I'm going to do a little dancing myself.

    Once his numbers in PN go past about 10k no recount will make a difference so I bet he will announce then.

    No. Biden doesn't need GA with PA. PA was the only must win state for Trump.

    Should be by end of today (for final numbers) they said, which is 5am our time, although last we heard they're ahead of schedule.

    Biden's margin of victory there is expected to exceed 50,000, and that's a conservative number.

    I don't think Biden will announce anything for a good while yet.

    Him claiming victory would only be grist to the Trump mill. He be screaming "See.. Told you they are stealing it!!!"

    Just keep saying - "America will decide and I'm confident that I will win."

    Perhaps, but he is certainly not going to announce based on 1,000 votes in Georgia, it will based on Pennslyvania.

    Which is apt, as its his home state.

    In any ordinary election, the loser would have called the winner by now and conceded. It's clear that Trump is not going to concede, so Biden is in the predicament where he probably has to wait until it's mathematically impossible for Trump to win.

    Going back to the two Georgia senate seats, I don't see them flipping for two reaosns.
    1) You no longer have the "anti-Trump" incentive to get folks to the polls in the first place, and 2) If you look at how the extra votes split out, the two Republican candidates between them got over 55% of one election, and the Libertarian was the spoiler with over 2% of the other election, they are unlikely to vote Democrat.

    Great batch for Biden, he only lost by 4k in that last batch in Maricopa.

    He will take AZ.

    Plenty of Republican controversy upcoming. We'll see sure. Not really the thread for this anyway.

    Agreed - They might have had a shot at picking off Loeffler in isolation but with both seats up for grabs along with control of the Senate , I just can't see it.

    Well that doesn’t allow for the fact that the closer to the poles you get the more distorted the size of land is on flat screens or paper. It’s not that big nor are places like Greenland as big as we think.

    Of course it allows for the distortion, it's superimposing area on another part of the globe.

    Fox will be feeling more relieved now. Trump must feel like a frog getting slowly boiled.

    Finally went back and read this thread from around 3am onwards on election night. All I'll say is that a lot of those posters haven't been heard of since in this thread.
