This got much more interesting from the last time I checked. It seemed like an easy win for Trump. He even announced it as a "big win"
So Biden only needs Nevada and Michigan to win and he is leading in both.

I can't believe Trump would lie about him winning.

You got to give the man credit. He, somehow, put himself in a position where he can publicly lie about anything, time after time, with no consequences whatsoever. I don't even know how he does it.

It's real easy actually. You just need a party that won't hold you accountable for anything and then lie to your base about lying. It works because not a single person in the food chain has any integrity and anyone who does will just be called a liar by the whole group.

It doesn't work so well with democrats because they hold each other accountable, as do their voters. They also don't call people who tell the truth liars.

Well, there certainly does seem to be that one thing where he most certainly is skilled at. It's really hard to argue about that since he does pull it off so well.

He's not skilled, there is just no one to hold him accountable. That means people who do know he lies can't do anything and the people who believe him are justified because if he was lying so much there would be consequences.

Where PA stands:
- Trump's edge is down to about 300k.
- About 900k mail ballots uncounted yet.
- Biden still winning 78% of those.
- If that % holds, Biden would surpass Trump's advantage.

Today has been a good day for Biden so far. No recount happening in Wisconsin or Michigan either, a recount would be pointless as historically it doesn't amount to a significant shift in votes.

I'm really appalled by all the Trump voters who openly defied him by using mail to vote.

Good thing Trump is not known to do pointless things or be petty or waste tax payer money for his own gratification.

WI will have a recount as that is up the loser candidate. If the margin is within 1%, the losing candidate can ask for a recount (in this case, Trump). Biden has it by 0.8% right now.

MI has no such rule, and in fact, a recount is only done automatically at the state level IF THE MARGIN WITHIN CANDIDATES IS 2,000 votes. MI had Biden up by 60,000+ in the end (or around there). So, no recount.

History facts: there was a recount of WI done in 2016 actually, it ended up adding 131 votes to Trump's lead over Hillary. I think Biden was up around 10,000 there at the end, so a recount would have to have a LOT of errors to help Trump.
