Aw that almost makes me sympathise with Trump :D
 
I know they warned it would take until Friday at least but WHY in GOD'S NAME is it STILL going on? America has a population 5 times the size of the UK, not 300 times the UK.

Just GET ON WITH IT.
 
This is quite good, from CNN, about what to expect next re counting. ET is five hours behind GMT.

===========


Here's what to expect from those four states today:

Pennsylvania

  • There are 89,282 ballots left to count across the state, according to the state website.
  • This is about 3.39% of all mail-in ballots cast.
  • 101,421 provisional ballots were issued on Election Day, according to data from 55 counties provided to the Pennsylvania secretary of state. They are working on getting data on this and segregated ballots from all 67 counties.
  • Philadelphia: Philadelphia election workers are still wading through the last 20,000 to 25,000 mail-in ballots, according to a city official. These ballots are the most difficult – a signature in the wrong place, or an envelope that has the wrong barcode scanned, mean they simply can’t go through them as quickly as the others. Workers prepped those ballots throughout the night and started counting them at 7 a.m. ET
  • Allegheny County: Election workers will resume at 9 a.m. ET. Today’s work will largely focus on the 29,000 ballots that were incorrectly issued. The return board needs to examine each of the ballots that may have been affected. They need to determine whether the original incorrect ballot was returned or whether the updated ballot was returned or if both were returned. The expectation is that only a small number of incorrect ballots were returned but they all still need to be verified. There is no update on how long the process could take and there is no decision on when the county will release new results when they return to work Saturday morning.
Georgia

  • There should be about 12,770 provisional ballots still outstanding statewide.
  • As of the last report from the secretary of state, there were also 8,400 military and overseas ballots that could have been received by the state by 5 p.m. ET Friday. But it’s not clear how many were returned.
  • Fulton County: Around 3 a.m. ET, Fulton County reported results, adding to Joe Biden’s margin.
  • Gwinnett County: A total of 535 absentee by mail ballots that required a signature cure and 3 military/overseas ballots will be counted today.
Arizona

  • 173,000 ballots left to count statewide, according to the secretary of state.
  • That includes 47,000 provisional ballots which cannot be counted until Tuesday.
  • The next known releases of votes are today at 11 a.m. ET and 9 p.m. ET.
Nevada

  • Secretary of State Communications Director Jennifer Russell told CNN that there are 124,500 outstanding ballots in the state.
  • There are 60,000 provisional ballots.
  • 90% of the ballots to be counted are in Clark County.
  • The next known releases are today at 12 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. ET.
Based on CNN projections, Joe Biden currently leads President Trump by 253 to 213 electoral votes
 
Another day, another episode of the 'map show'. Hopefully today will see the end of the season and I can go and do something more far constructive with my time than sitting on the edge of my seat apprehensively biting my nails.
 
We're not getting a declaration until there's absolutely ZERO POSSIBLE CHANCE of Trump being able to win all of the outstanding states are we :D
(I know that's already here, but there is the ludicrous hypothetical FAINTEST CHANCE that every single vote left to count could be red and magically overturn the election :D)

I wonder if Biden is POPPING OFF behind closed doors. it must be rather frustrating to have people STILL PANDERING to Trump.

Although Stupid Love leaking FOUR MONTHS EARLY didn't seem to bother it's chances in the end, so maybe the world will act like the inevitable Biden as President announcement is BRAND NEW INFORMATION!
 
What do we know about Biden's temperament behind the facade? He presents a quite calm personna. I was never sure if 'shut up man' was a preplanned stunt line.
 
Trump has announced a legal team press conference inexplicably being held in a small minority-owned east Philadelphia gardening company called ‘Four Seasons Total Landscaping’.

Well, if you're going to claim votes have been "planted" then that's the place to be.

Because nothing new is going to happen until the call, which the networks are being super conservative about because Trump won't concede. Without a concession they need a particular margin.

In several states, recounts are mandated if the margin between the top two candidates falls inside a set range established by law. AP will not call a race if the margin is within such a mandatory recount range — or if it could fall into that range as final votes are counted.

In some states, recounts may be requested if the margin falls inside of a set range. In others, candidates can request a recount regardless of the margin between the top two candidates. In these states, AP will not call a race if the margin between the top two candidates is 0.5 percentage points or less, or if the margin could fall inside that range once all ballots cast are counted.

AP may call the race if the trailing candidate confirms they will not seek a recount or if the candidate publicly concedes the election.

CNN are being pretty optimistic about significant declarations being made in the next few hours but I guess that's pretty much been their tag line for the past WEEK.
 
I am no longer falling for CNN’s seductions. It’s been “new numbers about to come in to decide the presidency” since WEDNESDAY
