Biden is leading in Texas by 250,000 votes with 45% in

by **Soudar** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:33 pm

Biden isn't winning Texas but surprised how close it is right now.

by **New Vedan** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:33 pm

Does anyone else have the issue of 60% of the positions up for election only having one person to choose from? Or is that only a Alabama thing?

Still lots of counties to go.

Detroit hasn't started reporting, though.

I'm guessing that Biden will take Michigan and Trump will take Ohio.

Also sorry if I freaked anyone out earlier. I just find assuming the worst makes me feel better than hanging on every up and down.

That lines up with what the AP is reporting.

US elections are confusing..

States that are very close sometimes aren't decided on the night. Waiting for absentee votes to come in, for instance. Recounts, or court challenges.

Even a network calling it doesn't make it a sure thing. In the crucial state of PA it might not be known before the counters all need to go home and sleep.

Started counting in Maine.

its been very steady. no real tightening

Ohio’s really surprising me. I live in said state, and drive around a LOT, like, across the entire state, and see way more Trump than Biden signs, stores, etc. I guess that’s a bad way to guess an election. Ouch.

Biden winning Ohio would be massive.

It would mean that his chances in the midwest were being understated, which surely means that PA is in his column and Iowa is back into play.

Ah, I see. I'm looking at NYT.

If Trumptonium is right (which I think they may well be) it would be quite worrying if the country and city were so starkly divided in their voting habits.

by **Definitely Not Trumptonium** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:37 pm

All of the 100% counted counties in the Midwest (mainly Indiana and Ohio) are strongly up for Trump in rural areas, even up to 15% higher.

Boone County, Illinois, with 75% of counted votes, is 83.1% Trump. (circa 22000 votes)

Trump only got it by 53.4% in 2016.

I think I can confidently call Midwest as going Trump right now, minus Penn. and including Minnesota flip.

by **Eukaryotic Cells** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:37 pm

Stressing that we all need to be patient with these results.

That being said, I think Trump is quite likely to take Florida.

I think it's terrible, and both parties do it. Under about 20% of the vote they can't be bothered even running a "no campaign" candidate. They really should, if only to keep up the morale of their few supporters in that district.

It probably IS worse in Alabama. Republicans running unopposed, I'm guessing?

Trump has no path without it.

CNN not calling Illinois is annoying me

Biden will take Illinois. You're forgetting about Chicago.
