Will New York reach 8 Million total votes?

[iceman]

The highest total votes cast in New York ever for a presidential elections was 7,721,442 and that was in 2016. New York and Florida has about the same population but Florida's turnout dwarfs New York on every angle. Will it reach 8 Million votes this year?

Also why is New York's turnout always pathetically low?

Also why is New York's turnout always pathetically low?

It isn't competitive at all and has a high immigrant population. See Florida casting more votes than Texas most of the time for more.

Yes, very easily. Probably hits 8.4-8.6 million in the end.

New York is starting to somewhat concern me. Polling indicated Biden would win the state by over 20%, similar to the margins for the Democrat since 1992. But it was only about `13% and Biden only reached 55% or so with what appears to be the whole state counted. Is New York realigning the way North Carolina has or even perhaps Georgia and Texas are?

You do know there's well over a million uncounted votes in NY, right?

The mail-in votes have been coming in with 50-60% more Democratic margin-wise than the counted votes in NY. If this continues, NY will likely swing to Biden by 1-2% vs. Hillary's 2016 margin.

Interestingly, Trump will get some pretty big swings to him in NYC boroughs outside of Manhattan but it looks like upstate NY will swing pretty hard against him. Long Island looks like it will also swing to Biden as well.

No, I guess I didn't. I looked at MSN's election page:

If you scroll over New York, it says 100% reporting. I would've figured by now they would have an accurate count. Is that not accurate and there's still 1 Million+ votes coming in?

Some websites are lazy and won't distinguish between outstanding votes and outstanding precincts. You can see here in Onondaga County that Biden is obliterating Trump with only half of the mail-in vote counted. Biden's lead here is already larger than Clinton's with about 25k-30k votes left to count. Likely 1.8 million+ to count statewide
