The truly sad thing is, a significant percentage of his voters will believe this and chant it nonstop.

To quote Trump supporters in Nov. 2016 (and I'm speaking from personal experience here): "You lost.  Get over it."

I'm already believing it.  Trump CLEARLY won this election.  By a lot.

Seems like the remaining Maricopa vote is from AZ-6 and AZ-9

If that's the case then Trump probably shouldn't be able to do much better than about 53 or 54% here, right?

A swing district and a heavily democrat district.

At this point he'd probably need close to 60% here, correct? Before he underperformed in the Maricopa results yesterday he only needed something like 57%, if I'm remembering right.

Pretty pathetic stuff. History is going to view Trump voters/supporters as pitiful, no doubt about that.

For those Atlas'ings just joining us and inevitably typing out "fill-me-in, guys": 

At 11AM, Maricopa County, AZ will reportedly drop its last large batch of county-wide votes.  There's about 92K ballots remaining.  This drop should give us a pretty decent idea of Trump's chances in the state.

From the 538 blog:

While we wait for a larger update from Arizona’s Maricopa County, we just got a new batch of results from Pinal County, where Trump leads Biden by nearly 15 percentage points, 57 percent to 41 percent. In this batch, though, Trump outpaced his share in the county, getting 62 percent to Biden’s 35 percent and netting a little less than 2,000 votes.

Biden now leads statewide in Arizona by just under 28,000 votes.

Flagged within ninety seconds.

By now, they might as well just autoflag every Trump tweet with a message saying "Joe Biden won the election. No credible signs of voter fraud".

This might sound ridiculous, but after several days of following this election, I really don't want calling the election to interrupt college football today...I'm so ready for a college football Saturday after all this!

God, we're never going to get this race called.

I still can't wrap my head around why certain decision desks (NBC, ABC, CNN, etc.) won't call Nevada for Biden if 90% of the uncounted vote comes from Clark County. Although I disagree with it, I understand why Fox News and the AP won't but, unless there's a certain degree of decision desk collusion happening here, the other networks have no reason not to call the state for Biden - why should CNN care if a Nevada call for Biden puts additional pressure on Fox and the AP to call the state and, hence, the race, for Biden?

I've been hoping the Maricopa drop would allow a quick call for the same reason.

There was actually a situation for several hours in 2016 where some networks had called Wisconsin for Trump while others had called Pennsylvania for him.  If you combined both, he was over 270, but no one was willing to call both, probably out of an even higher standard for actually calling the election.

Not great. Let's hope the Maricopa drop will look decent.
