Michigan flipped in favour of Biden, and the gap in Pennsylvania is now below 600k. There's still hope!

Hope for the man who had ties with Herman Talmadge, James Eastland AND Strom Thurmond?  Why is no one talking about this???

As if it wasn't in plain sight.

Why is no one talking about this? Probably because it's a drop in the ocean compared to things Trump has said and done so far during his presidency. Joe isn't perfect by any means, but when you put him side by side with Trump there's no question whatsoever, in my much humble opinion, who is best fit to lead the United States.

Biden is ahead by a hair now in both Wisconsin and Michigan. If he gets both, he should have 270, if I calculate correctly. If not, the election is decided in Pennsylvania.

Yup he needs those states and Nevada to be at 270.

How do you get exactly 270?

Have the two winners of the congressional district in Maine already been added to Biden's total?

Just thinking, if Biden (or Trump) do finish on exactly 270 this will really bring the role of faithless electors into focus. I don't believe they've ever had the chance to alter the result before. Imagine the fallout if they did.

I remember some Clinton supporters tried to get them to do this in 2016. As much as I don't like Trump, it is for the best that this didn't work.

Clinton ended up losing more to faithless electors than Trump.

But yeah, imagine: Biden wins Wisconsin and Michigan and Trump Pennsylvania. Biden has 270 electors. The results in the three mentioned states are so close, that endless recounts and court decisions happen. And then faithless electors flip the result. This would be... bad.

This is insanely close. Hope Trump wins, but hopefully people will accept it and be civil if Biden takes it. Trump can always try again in 4 years.

Are inmates allowed to run for president?

We black people do not give a fuck about Joe Biden. Funny enough, Joe Biden has more responsibility in regards to building/sustaining systematic racism than Trump. We are voting Kamala Harris. We are voting for another Black American in power. Biden is a puppet President for that purpose.

No, just the people who belong there it seems

Republicans gaining seats in the house and holding the Senate at this rate. Presidential election leaning on Biden.

Just Going to point out 1 thing. The fact that this election is this close after how badly Trump screwed up covid is proof of how bad a candidate Joe Biden was/is and why during the Primary we screamed over and over that he was the worst choice the dems could make. That's all I wanted to say.

IMO when Biden steps down after his first term we should all rally around a single candidate to deny Harris the nomination. She was ultra-weakscauce in the dem primaries and would fare about as well as Joe in a general. We can't accept elections that are this close. Dems desperately need a landslide to take the Senate, Pres, and House, and then kill the filibuster, and start governing.

It's just downhill for Trump on MI, WI, NV, so I'm pretty confident these will be called. ME-02 and Collins could go down to ranked choice voting. GA and PA looking reasonable.

Also thoughts for election night: holy shit that was a miss on how Cuban-Americans and White Women were going to vote. Pollsters suck.

This is why I'm not all the way for immigration. People come from backwards countries and eventually vote like it. As soon as Racism is no longer an issue for an immigrant they are likely voting Republican because they came from a religious culture.
