AP/the NYT's called MISEN for Peters.

NUT. KING OF MOTORCYCLES RETURNS.

Thank you Bagel.

They targeted Peters.

Peters.

He's a person who will ride for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most physically demanding manoeuvres. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little WWC voter saying he did.

He'll punish himself doing things others would consider torture, because he thinks it's fun.
He'll spend most if not all of his free time min-maxing the specs of a Harley-Davidson all to draw out a single extra point of a mile per hour.

Many of his like have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same routes over and over, hundreds of times to the point where they know every little detail such that some have attained such biker nirvana that they can literally contest these elections blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many mirrors have been smashed, systems overheated, wheels and chassis destroyed by frustration? All to later be referred to as populism?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take his Romney-Clinton voters? He's already building a new coalition without them. They take his streets? Peters isn't shy about driving elsewhere, or even off the road. They think calling him out-of-touch, socialist or Jerry is going to change him? He's been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a sh**tty tricycle. They picked a fight against a Senator that's already grown desensitised to their strategies and methods. Who enjoys the battle of attrition they've threatened him with. Who takes it as a challenge when they tell him he no longer matters. His obsession with proving he can after being told he can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with folksy-populists laughing at how pathetic he used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Peters is competitive, hardcore, by nature. He loves a challenge. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challenge him. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another yearly tour of Michigan.

They definately have some data or know something we don't if that's the case. They seem way too confident otherwise.

Kanye West received about 60,000 votes as of now. His best state was Tennessee.

His first vote of his life was writing in himself. I wonder how many presidential candidates can say that. Even Trump probably voted before.

A co-worker at my job, an independent who dislikes both Biden and Trump, told me that he voted for Kanye!

So nice of him to let you know he’s not worth talking to ever again.

[BudgieForce]

Hypothetically, if Trump wins the remainder of the 418,000 Arizona vote by 59%, Biden will end the count with around a 4000 vote lead.

Thats my crummy napkin math.

I'm so confused as to why they seem so confident.

Man they slow

I'd say if they or Fox haven't voiced any hesitation over the next couple hours then they're probably still confident.

Zachary Taylor?

Good catch!

G. Elliott Morris is counting down the PA margin (in K) on his twitter feed. Just posted 186.

Eisenhower

I'm not sure about that one.

[Non Swing Voter]

do we know exactly how many ballots are left in each Arizona county right now?  I guess I could extrapolate from the percentages above but would be easier if there was a site that already did this.

(also, I don't think this matters because it's pretty clear Biden is going to win Pennsylvania)

- 340,000 in Maricopa
- 46,000 in Pima
- 17-18,000 in Yuma
- 13,000 in Coconino
- <1,000 in La Paz

Eisenhower

Eisenhower voted Republican before 1952, according to himself

[Non Swing Voter]

It's kind of amazing all the lengths Trump has gone to:

1) Getting Kanye on the ballot

2) Slowing down the post office

3) Suing to stop vote counting

4) Massive misinformation campaign in South Florida

Wouldn't the more direct route to re-election have been to deal with the pandemic responsibly?  

[VBM]

Why are these counts taking so long? Shouldn’t they have a ton of resources invested into counting these right now?

Biden doesn't need AZ. He can win with just PA or any 2 of AZ, NV, NC, and GA.

This election makes me glad that Manchin was up for reelection in 2018 instead of this year.  If he was running this year, he would have gotten annihilated.

Did he? I thought he wasn't a registered voter until 1951.

[Stockdale for Veep]

Is the needle still on?

Down to 33,000 in GA.

"Fun" fact:

Out of the 30 states Trump won in 2016, 7 of them trended R (as of the vote counts a 9:57 ET on November 4th), while 23 of them trended D.

Of the 20 states Clinton won in 2016, 17 of them trended D and three trended R.

In other words, Dems are gaining everywhere, but much more so in states that are already safe. This is resulting in a close electoral college matchup despite improving their margin in 40 states.

Yayyy even more Democratic voter inefficiency, this is epic!
