Correct.. those ballots must be separated, from the others.
Prob for recounting purposes

No idea on a number. But I’ll guess not enough, they haven’t been counted yet, and if they are counted they will likely add to Biden’s lead.

Do we get to look forward to Trump barricading himself in the bunker and then getting dragged out all raggedy like Saddam?

The number is likely to be under 2,000 ballots. It's somewhat insignificant but would matter in a race like Georgia, which is why the law needs to be crystal clear NOW. No reason to wait for it to happen and swing an election.

The one that isn't are the ballots that arrive after election day w/ a valid postmark. That will be 10's of thousands.

Im sure I speak for others, when I say we are grateful for your contributions, throughout this process. Very impressive, and much appreciated.

Do you really think that there will be that many? I don't know if many people would risk their vote not getting counted if they were that late getting it in the mail. Especially when they knew that the deadline had already been challenged once.

It's a combination of people mailing too close to an election and the USPS not being able to get them delivered on time.

Keep in mind that so long as the USPS puts a postmark on it; they're really in no rush to get it to the proper clerk / polling place quickly. Because of PA law, they know the urgency is in the postmark, not the delivery date.

Trump just got 54.9% of a huge vote drop in AZ. Looks like he is going to need over 60% now. Not sure he can catch up.

He can't. He'd need about 38 electoral votes.

He can (probably still won't, but he has a path).

He has 30,000 votes in Pinal county that will be better than 60% most likely; has 15,000 provisional ballots still in Pima, again very favorable to him.

And he's inside of 1% now. It's going to be pretty damn close.

Well there is that too. But the more Biden can win the more that the result won't be in doubt. Whoever won this election it is best for the country if it isn't in question. Did not want to see another Florida 2000 situation happen.

It is crazy how close this election is in multiple states. 5 million votes in GA to come down to a few thousand, multiple other states with millions coming down to 10s of thousands.

And my my estimations, Trump only needs 57.5% of the remaining vote.

A divided nation yields AMAZING election results. LOL.

Other than bets, AZ is insignificant now. This thing is done.

Amazing?

Or tragic.

Personally, I'd say it's a sad day. Not amazing.

Well you can look at life one of two ways.

My 4-year old son is his 4th straight day home, of a 10 straight day stretch because teachers called out sick at his pre-school and I'm home w/ him, trying to get work done. Between this site and his clinginess, very little work has been done and it's been stressful and I'm wiped.

But, today I chased him all around the house playing "Hugmonster" for no more than 15 minutes.

Guess what I'm going to remember about today?

Ohhh, yes, absolutely. PA should have been called already; people are dragging their feet.

If AZ turns, probably that winning ticket

So much of this administration has been like reading headlines from the Onion, so why would this be any different?

I feel like all of us who questioned whether or not Trump would leave willingly and were told by Trump supporters that we were "unhinged" or had "TDS" or whatever other inane comments were made aren't looking too crazy now.

This was the man you voted for.

I truly hope he does barricade himself in the White House and doesn't concede.



I want the world to see how unhinged and unstable he is.

LOL, you're damn right!

But Pima has 15,000 outstanding provisional ballots that they won't even start counting until Monday. In fact, a lot of counties still have provisionals and the reason they do is that if you came to the polls on election day and DID NOT invalidate your mail in ballot, you had to vote provisional. They do this so they can check your provisional to ensure you did not vote by mail.

Those are election day votes for DJT. We can do this people!

I had $ on Trump to win it all at +270. Thought it was a sure thing...

We’re any sites allowing election parlays?
