They couldn't possibly telegraph that they think Biden is going to win if all the votes are counted anymore than they are with this move.

[cuervo72]

Well, yes. This was the point the whole time, screw up mail delivery in big cities in battleground states. That's why they ripped out sorting machines, etc. (Though not sure why they bothered with that in Seattle, but who ever knows.)

It's pretty clear Dejoy was brought in to help win the election for Trump and he may find himself in jail because of it. The judge is not happy.

Static vid...

#BREAKING: Large, animated crush of “stop the count” protestors trying to push their way into TCF hall in #Detroit where ballots are being counted.

They’re being blocked by guards at the door.

Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/zFhzd88skX

This right here. Intentionally create the problem so you can fight the intentionally created problem in court in the case it's close enough of contest because of the intentionally created problem.

Go away Trump!

You lost!

I'm totally sure the "radical left" would be doing the same thing.

From what I understand, it wouldn't change the statewide results, but that makes a lot of sense with the Miami-Dude results.

[Jas_lov]

Trump is behind in Michigan so what good does stopping the count do for him. Crazy this is what it has come to.

[Ben E Lou]

How the heck has Alaska not been called??? They using dog sleds to deliver vote counts up there?

[ISiddiqui]

PA is now down to a 350k lead with 83% of the votes counted. These absentee counts are just taking huge chunks out of Trump's lead.

It is exactly what Trump has always done.

Cant pay a loan. Start suing... Don't wanna pay your employees, sue. Cant win the election, lets try suing.

[Butter]

Michigan now over a 1% lead for Biden. Peters has also taken a 10k vote lead in Senate race.

[JediKooter]

Looks like Biden just went up by more than 1% in Michigan.

Now just need to nail down Arizona and Nevada (we'll know more about AZ at 9pm tonight and NV at 9am tomorrow)

Good speech by Biden.

Not quite a victory speech but essentially a victory speech.

My 10 year old son said "I hope Trump is watching this so he learns how to talk to people"

PA numbers keep dropping in chunks. Down to 5.7% and 338k now.

[JPhillips]

lol That by the time the GOPers showed up in MI Biden was already in the lead.

STOP THE COUNT!

Okay, Biden wins.

KEEP COUNTING!

[ISiddiqui]

And still showing only 83% reported.

Last night when 75% were counted, his lead was just under 700k. It's been halved pretty quickly. And Philadelphia is only at 67% reporting.

[Kodos]

NBC calls Michigan for Biden.

AP did as well, iirc.

SI

[ISiddiqui]

Trump's lead in PA is now less than 320k and only 84% has been counted

[Ghost Econ]

What that Trump +X in PA drop every 25 minutes is a thing of beauty.

Get Balto up in that joint

[sterlingice]

I'm thinking NC is gone - close but not close enough:
https://twitter.com/baseballot/statu...92442832998401

But NV, AZ, PA all come in for Biden putting him at 290 and Georgia's 16 are very much in play.

How in the world did they not think to have them in place ?

[timmynausea]

Is it possible Trump is suing to stop the counting in hopes of stopping the race from being called this early? Trump operates best in chaos when he can manipulate the narrative of reality as much as possible. If the media declares Biden victorious, some of his power goes away.

Trump and planning are not strong suits. Not only that but I'm sure there's a bit of hubris thinking that for sure he'd win so he didn't need a contingency plan.

SI

[Lathum]

Eric Trump on FOX news claiming there are ballots in ditches in PA and that they aren't allowing poll watchers and screaming about fraud.

[Atocep]

Silver says he'd put PA and Georgia both in the lean Biden column based in remaining vote.

[Lathum]

LOL.

Now saying filing suit is the last thing they want to do, even though they broadcast days ago it is what they were going to do.

[stevew]

Santorum was on CNN talking about how they are just harvesting ballots and dropping them in the mail today. These guys are fucking nuts.

Sure looks like NV and AZ (and maybe GA) are gonna get Biden to 270 before PA is settled anyway.

Remember, it's always either what they'd do in the other person's position or what they've already done.

SI

[JPhillips]

Looks like good news here for Biden.

More PA counties:

Dauphin 8.2 (2.9)
Lancaster -17.2 (-19.1)
York -25.0 (-28.9)
Schuylkill -39.8 (42.9)
Pike -19.0 (-25.9%)

Biggest remaining question mark is final Philly result.

NV will get called tonight and AZ tomorrow morning, right? And who knows with GA. The counting there is going on at a fairly irregular pace.

Not to mention that Philadelphia county has only counted 70% of their vote.

Total absentee ballots in PA (which are the ones being counted now) are going 78-20 for Biden.

Do they have that "billionaire maverick" archetype going for them that seems to intrigue the public?

I think there is one Donald Trump. And I'm glad.

This election has already proven that Trump Lite works. Cue Majorie Taylor Greene and or Madison Cawthorn.

[cuervo72]

GA margin under 70k now.

[ISiddiqui]

Trump is up by 68k votes in Georgia now with 94% of the vote in. Still have 10-12% we are waiting on from Dekalb, Cobb, Clayton, Muscogee, Richmond and Chatham counties. Fulton and Douglass seem to be fully counted.

I stopped reading after "Santorum", because just that name is enough to conclude there won't be any fact checking involved.

But otherwise I would have stopped at CNN for the same reason.

[Ben E Lou]

Fox News called MI as well.
