Hm, let's not get ahead of ourselves yet

The race is narrowing in Arizona, Biden only leads by 7,000 votes in Nevada, and I think Trump will take North Carolina when it's called. All three total 32 electoral college votes

Georgia is looking surprisingly promising and might be key to preventing a Pennsylvania nightmare

I am liking how the postal voters have really turned out for Biden. Trump supporters were being so smug about their numbers at rallies and it's really come back to bite them.

It's genuinely hilarious watching them freak out on social media.

Postal votes have really come through for Biden

Trump's meltdown is ridiculous and funny at the same time , he's actually suing now . Talk about spitting his dummy out like a child he can't accept defeat , the salt is oozing out of him ! .

So basically Trump's people want to watch the mail in votes be counted? But they wasn't allowed, so that's why they're taking legal action?

they are allowed the same as the dem representative. The view is also live streamed on the net so that anyone can watch it. I Think social distancing rules were in force, and they wanted to be up close and in someones face. It's not a legal argument, and the same as all their other "legal" complaints - baseless

...I do think that Biden is maybe being too confident...the voting seems to have fairly much gone as predicted ..?...the postal votes will obviously favour Biden but Trump knew that and was always going to question their validity...

trump is filing all sorts of legal complaints, and Biden is doing steady but fine, however, Trump can still win, that shouldn't be forgotten

....yeah, that’s what I mean, bots....(...I’m not hugely knowledgeable on US election processes...)...but breaking it down into bits, it seems to have fairly gone as expected...no real huge variation in that...not only for us/...the public but obviously, for Trump as well...it was always known that the postal votes would come last and favour Biden, for instance...?...and I do believe that Trump’s team have fully had their ‘plan’ together and this is not yet won or lost at all...

Trump is being divisive and also lying ... he said he had won way to early, and Biden had to counter that without being confrontational, which I think he did really well. He said things looked good but he wasn't declaring himself the winner.

There really isn't anything like going as expected. Swing states are always up for grabs, which can go either way and Biden has won a lot of the main ones and he is also either winning or very close to leading in a couple of states that were solid republican .... upshot is, it's a pretty good performance from Biden and he has more paths forward to victory than Trump has. He doesnt need to win PA now for example, he has other options available. If Trump loses PA its basically all over

yes, but trump already canned a recount. The requester has to pay for the recount and for Wisconsin that was going to be 3 million upfront, so Trump cancelled the request. PA would cost a lot more than 3m

...hopefully Biden will win but even if he did lose, it would have always been a loss for Trump, I feel...for it to be so close and against someone who hasn’t really had any type of standout popularity, as such...not the most hoped for/ideal candidate by a long way...even if Biden lost, it would be close...so that’s fairly devastating for Trump, to struggle a close win against Biden...obviously that’s not how the Donald will see it because his hands are huge....HUGE, big hands so he’s almighty and all powerful and the bestest....

One of the interesting ones is Arizona which has always been very republican, but Biden is doing pretty well in it. Arizona was the state that John McCain represented, and a lot of people are voting Biden purely because of the way Trump spoke about McCain ... it would be so fitting if McCain got the last laugh

...Biden has also had the most votes in history of any presidential candidate..so a huge victory also..?..and those votes for him could also be said to be votes against Trump...the most in history against someone ...?..so another huge loss for him, whichever way the result...?...there will surely never be anything to bring any type of smile or ‘laugh’ for Trump, he could never have the last laugh with this election, in any capacity...the president who has done ‘more for America, for racism, for the economy etc, etc than anyone ever in time...’...is in such a close race with some one who isn’t even stand out...an awful defeat no matter which way it’s flipped for the actual results...

You know, to temper celebrations a bit, Trump could still win Georgia and Pennsylvania and flip Arizona and if so he wins. I think celebrations have been premature - largely because of AZ being called too early for Biden due to an "error" when it now IMO looks quite likely to flip.

Basically it means it's not just down to Nevada and Biden MUST flip either Georgia or PA, of which there are no guarantees.

Trump just should've kept his mouth shut, instead of begging for a recount

dictators like him should have no rights for a recount
