2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[randomusername]

GOP senators John Thune, Lindsey Graham say that Biden should receive classified intelligence briefings.

So is Graham finally in the acceptance stage of grief?

When will we know the first results from the mail ballots in NY? I know they are slow to count.

Most counties will only report votes in their final official results, or may be picked up by local media outlets. The only county really actively reporting their absentee count right now is Onondaga County where Biden currently leads by 60%, a 52% swing from their final election day total.

edit: Cayuga County as well, Biden+35, a 54% swing.

Arizona is no longer in doubt, but for those interested: Pinal County zeroed out their estimated ballots remaining (they only had 135 before that).  There are now five counties with a significant number (>10) of estimated ballots left:

Pima: 10,700, currently 59-40 Biden
Maricopa: 6,715, 50-48 Biden
Cochise: 3,319, 58-40 Trump
Yuma: 2,155, 52-46 Trump
Apache: 1,700, 66-33 Biden

Not all will be counted.

Right, the lion's share of those are provisionals.

Is it fair to say Biden's margin will likely increase once these votes are counted?

Trump is generally doing better among provisionals, even in Pima County thus far so I think his margin still decreases a bit but Trump of course has no shot at winning at this point.

NY has one of the least transparent and efficient vote counting operations I've seen. There really should be bipartisan pressure on the state to do a better job. Kind of ridiculous that states like FL and TX with more people can get their counts in basically on election night if not a few days afterwards while NY is still stuck at 80% reporting a week and a half after the election.

Wow so maybe Biden's gonna dominate in upstate NY as lots of the district polls suggested after all.

Would help a 7 seat majority become a 13 seat majority.

Pope Francis on Thursday became the latest in a string of world leaders congratulating Joe Biden on his projected victory in the 2020 election, even as President Trump and a handful of world leaders have refused to acknowledge him as President-elect.

Biden had a phone call with Pope Francis Thursday morning, during which he “thanked His Holiness for extending blessings and congratulations,” according to a readout of the call released by the Biden transition team.

More vote out of Allegheny, Biden's lead 54K now statewide.

Joe Biden 3,390,729
Donald Trump 3,336,751

About ~8K provisionals out of Allegheny broke 55-45 for Biden. ~4K provisionals from Delaware Co broke 63-36.

That's quite high for Trump, isn't it?

It may have been from the less D part of the county.  They still have another batch to process plus disputed ones.  Outside of the Philly area though, there won't be a treasure trove of D votes.

That's not true. Most of the provisionals still out are from Allegheny and SEPA/East PA. And there's still nearly 45K mail ballots left to count in the state as well, nearly 10K of which are in Philly, and I believe still 5-7K in Allegheny.

Agreed. Trump should actually be banned from Twitter. Or "terminated" to use his language.

[Beet]

Maybe this will get Republicans to support mandatory paper ballots and scientifically sampled verification for voting machines.

Yes it is.  After he leaves office he should be named an enemy of the state and arrested.

I didn't know getting fired by Trump was part of the Krebs Cycle.

Do we know how many votes are out in NV and when they are expected to keep counting?

I think that this would actually make it worse. However, people around him and high-ranking Rs should intervene before it’s too late.

It’s part of the Cellular Repiratory Disease that’s been sweeping the nation.

It would literally destroy the country if he is still president on the 21st of January.

They have been segregated and not included in the totals.  This cannot affect the outcome.

Only 10k came in, so it won't change the outcome as Biden lead by more than 50k. This does suck though, as they should be counted

[BudgieForce]

I don't think that ruling involves late ballots. I think it involves ballots cured after election day.

Sorry about the Fox News link.

Edit: So ballots cured by the 9th are fine but nothing after that?
