It seems Biden's lead went up to 69K in Arizona. I'm still seriously scared though. There's 3 heavily Republcan leaning districts still, along with Democrat leaning Maricopa county.
 
Daaang almost nothing has changed since I went to bed except the a slight concern over losing Arizona and still hope of gaining PA.

Please tell me there is at least some hope that this will end today. I'm not sure how much more of this the general population can take. It's been such a stressful few days. On the flip side, given how some Trump supporters are already acting, I'm kinda scared of how they're gonna act when/if victory is actually called.

Their disgusting behavior honestly warrants a loss for Trump, but I'm also scared to see what happens if Biden does win. Trump supporters tend to be very aggressive and many do have guns. Its so ironic though that the party that demands law and order would be the ones to riot.
 
god the Senate is killing me

The NC race is really tight, with Tillis in the lead by about 100,000 votes, at least according to what I'm looking at.

I really don't expect AK will suddenly swing blue, but at any rate, their count's going to take a long while.

Georgia's going to have to go to a runoff in January (for at least one of the races, maybe both). If Democrats lose NC and AK, that's the last chance to at least tie up the Senate until 2022.

A tie is better than nothing. If we can win this election, Kamala Harris would have to be a tie breaker.
 
Don't look now, but Biden might be about to flip Georgia over.

Apparently he has a better lead in Nevada also. If he can get 14K more votes in Georgia with 60K to count, Biden will win even without Arizona.
 
Unfortunately there are differing laws between states of when mailed-in ballots can still be counted. There should be national laws on this to keep everything uniform and consistent, but that won't happen because the inconsistency is another form of voter suppression.

God I hope the last results are counted today.
 
Nevada's votes will likely be finished today. Biden is very likely going to win that state. If he can just pull through in Georgia or hold his lead in Arizona, he will be declared the 46th president of the United States. Please, oh please! I'm not a religious person, but this has got me praying for a Biden win.

Me too.
 
Biden cut in for a special report and he's confident he'll have the votes to win. He's cut Trump's lead in Pennsylvania to about 97K also.

Edit: He's 9000 votes away! They have 47K to still count! We might actually win this!

In the edit you're talking about Georgia.

Just clarifying this for anyone who might get too excited.

But, in regards to Pennsylvania, I just saw them run down the math and I now see why Biden is so confident he's going to win. The margins of the mail-in votes coming in would have to substantially shift to Trump for Biden to not win. Not saying it can't happen, but it would be quite a shift.

Also of great interest is, about maybe an hour ago or less, Biden and Harris were shown getting into vehicles. I think this means they're pretty confident in results sooner than later. I hope anyway.
 
My gosh Trump's lead in PA is almost gone now. I looked to see the numbers not expecting much change. It went from Trump 50.1, Biden 48 to Trump 49.9, Biden 48.9 with 89% reporting.

Also my mother made the mistake of tuning into Trump speaking out of curiosity..... lol.

"I was winning then all these mail-in ballots came out of nowhere!!! ): " The comments laughing at him were great though.
