Biden continues to close the gaps in PA and GA.

Pennsylvania: 277k
Georgia: 60k



Safe to assume the battle is over in favor of Biden yet? (Most likely gonna stop following closely but want no surprises)



Nevada can't come soon enough 😓



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Dems are increasingly moving towards Socialism. Reps are pro capitalism, which is why Florida went Trump because many are from Cuba and Venezuela which are terrible socialist examples.

The big irony on that is that although the Democrats are left-wing and therefore closer to the ultra left-wing policies of Cuba and Venezuela, Trump is far closer to both in terms of his authoritarian actions.

Venezuela isn't socialist no matter how much faux news likes say it is, over 70 percent of businesses in Venezezuela are privately owned.  Heck even Cuba isn't as socialist as it once was since it now alows a limited amount of privately owned businesses.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

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.

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.



Yes, they can have a recount, I'm just pointing out how pointless it will be to pursue by the Trump campaign. At most a recount would add a couple of hundred votes for Trump (or takeaway who knows).

Wait until tonight. There should be a batch of votes releasing (9PM Eastern) which likely will confirm Arizona, and Nevada decided that they may release some more votes today also. If both of those get called tonight (which is very possible) it will be over. Otherwise, there is still a path for Trump, albeit a slim one. 



What is taking Nevada so long? Chesus fuck! Just end this.
