As an outsider to US, this state caught my eye as they declared it a win long ago even when Trump was leading lol.
What I find even more interesting is I looked into this state more and the map is pretty much 75% red lol
From what I could tell by counting the counties, there is 133 of them and 36 atm are blue and the rest are red.
To me that is crazy how a small amount of the state can be pro one part and majority pro another and the small part wins.

It's because they know how counties tend to vote. They may have had mostly Trump votes counted, but they knew there were counties that generally go democrat that were yet to be counted.

OTOH, if it flips, the reaction would be priceless. Far fetched, but priceless. The sniveling part of me wants this badly, but I'm pretty much already satisfied with the results even if Biden wins, provided it suits my "he won by the same as Trump earlier or less" and I get to laugh at people who use the polls as proof of anything, when they've spent forever getting it all wrong.

The count is over in the states where it happened first, and in the state where it happens later Trump already took enough of a lead to absorb the shock. It won't save him from getting torpedo'd from MI or Nev, but it seems to be enough to withstand damage in GA, WI and depending on how things go, maybe even PA.
Maybe.

Yes seeing torpedo in nevada but that's with what less than 10 percent vote in. Problem with these vote counts is the big cities is that the votes are lagging. That's why Georgia can't be called because of atlanta. Basically we won't know till tomorrow or next few days.

Why are the cities lagging now though? Fl was really fast when it came to cities and TX counted urban areas first. Why is Coca Cola City coming in so late?

President Trump has this, can't wait for the liberal meltdown. |
See, this is the problem with you people. You don't care about what's right for the country, what's best for the economy, having a president that makes your nation look good, or even having someone at the helm who knows what he's doing, you just care about sticking it to the libs.
I actually want the US to...you know, be good. I want it to learn from its mistakes and care about its people and not be a police state. I want it to actually listen to scientists and use factual data to guide its policies instead of having a narcissistic cunt rag who only cares about how good he looks while completely ignoring the facts and reality that surrounds him. But no, it's just to sticking it to the libs. you don't care about your country, you care about winning.
And this is why I can't stand republicans. Liberals will have a meltdown because they want to fix the goddamn country but folks like you are getting in the way.

I do care about the US righting itself off, but I'm thinking in the long term... and the truth is that four more years of Trump aren't as undoable as you think. Decades of political ossification are not so easily corrected though. A Trump victory serves a very clear purpose: discouraging Democratic Party centrism and sidelining that wing in favor of the left wing one who's actually pushing responsible long term policies like the Green New Deal, Universal Healthcare and prison reform. Things people like Joe and Kamala either promised to placate said wing or don't really endorse with conviction.
I sort of wish Joe had bowed out after it looked his race was over. Were he to have done that, I would be cheering for a blue wave with you guys... sadly, the lessons of 2016 haven't sunk in yet (and may yet not sink in), which is why I'm counting on the Party getting so distraught a second time (because they would no longer be able to explain why it had happened beyond the aforementioned Big Tent approach not working) they realize the suits running the party are never going to be the answer and essentially kick them out of the party.
More so because the militant wing will certainly desert the centrist party, but the only option for disenfranchised centrists is the GOP... which means they will be essentially forced to vote in favor of true progress, even at their expense... or keep contributing to the pummeling of the DP.
