Only Britain and Turkey voted "Yes".

Oh hey, protesters outside the White House. Live feed has them just milling about at the moment.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Texas is literally neck in neck, and the very blue West Coast is yet to come up. And a lot of critical states are still in play. it is too early to say anything for certain.

It's still too early: we still have millions of votes to count.

There's something like 100 million early votes. We are barely over a 50 million votes counted, and who knows what it'll be after election day.

I don't think so, I think numbers are holding ok aside from the South East.. Trump has an uphill battle and, remember, postal votes are probably not going to be counted fully for a couple days and they're strongly Democrat.

538 confirmed my view, that by this time in '16 the dread was clearly setting in, the map was very red.. of course the volume of mail-in makes it harder to predict but I suspect, other than Florida and Georgia (and Wisconsin is just weird with polling), the polls will somewhat hold..

However all this may just be my happy mood - despite knowing it will go red - that Kansas is still blue at the moment.

They're saying cities have reported more in Texas than rural areas. It's red.

I'm still not convinced. There's still a lot of Georgia to go, Ohio's remaining totals are primarily in blue areas, and we still have Arizona to come in. As for Pennsylvania and the Upper Midwest...if we have to wait three days, we have to wait three days.

Ya the metro georgia areas are still yet to come in

They're called for Biden because they've historically been Democratic states and, presumably, the traditional Democratic strongholds haven't reported in yet.
