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.


Go look at the map. I wouldn’t call Texas neck and neck. I’ll be very surprised if Biden seizes a conservative hub like Texas.

By my count Biden just jumped to 131 and Trump is still 92 as of 8:39 CST.
That widens the gap from 30 to 39.

Protestors or people hoping to be chanting 'YOU'RE FIRED!' in a few hours?

I mean, kind of the same thing isn't it?
"...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.

I initially predicted 351-187 Biden win.

I very much underestimated Trump. This looks to be a close election.

Presumably. Unless the wall is more scalable than advertised. Wouldn't be the first time.

If Biden miraculously queaks through in Texas the race is over, Trump could take every other battleground and tossup and it wouldn't be enough without some previously not even vaguely hinted at 10+ point upset in a blue state.

I do as well. Biden can certainly take Ohio which would be large.
