You guess wrong!! :grinning:

We are on day 17 of daily tabulation and adjudication. Iā€™m updating here instead of my poll workers thread since AZ is so red hot all of a sudden. But I havenā€™t read most of this thread. Iā€™ve been sort of isolated from the news all day and worked today under that assumption that AZ was already called for Biden.

I do not have any insight into the order the remaining ballots are being processed. Iā€™m honestly not sure anybody does or if itā€™s even possible. But I think what some people fail to understand is that a shitload of people handed in sealed early mail-in ballots at polling places yesterday for whatever reason (maybe forgot to mail until too late, maybe didnā€™t trust the mail, etc.)

Unlike votes that were cast and scanned at polling sites, these ballots have to go through the full process for a mail-in ballot including:

  1. Signature Verification
  2. Extract from envelope, unfold, stack in batches
  3. Run through the high-speed tabulation machine (6-8k per hour I think?)
  4. A certain percentage will be flagged for adjudication, where humans look at the ballot images to resolve write-ins and analyze ambiguous marks etc.

This process takes time. The night shift of adjudicators is working for a couple more hours tonight. You can even watch them on the ā€œBTC Northā€ webcam at the link below. My shift will start again at 7:30am tomorrow. Wish us luck!!

Amazingly theyā€™re not chanting to stop the count.

From Counting Dashboard

That 0% returned in York is a little concerning since it is 62-37 in favor of Trump. Also have to assume some of these donā€™t get returned or end up voting in person.

Biden within 31,748 in Georgia

Perdue at 50.15%

I canā€™t be arsed to do this, but itā€™s fun to think about usernames with maximum troll value. Best I could come up with was ā€œOnePumpTrumpā€.

Trumpā€™s lead in Georgia is now down to 31,748 votes, per Decision Desk HQ.

So what are they protesting? lol

poor lost sweet summer child :bouquet:

NATEā€™S PONY IS DOWN TO 31,748 VOTES

I donā€™t get AZ not being called. 76% of the outstanding is Maricopa with Biden leading their 53/47. Donny would need to pull something over 60% of what is outstanding in that county to close the gap. Is he really going improve 13% over whats already come out?

I guess the last tranche was 59% Trump?

Go Philly Go

This still feels entirely too slow, w/e. Drinky drinky.

Just wanted to point out the coincidence that Tuff Fishā€™s first big loss here is to the same EmpireMaker2 who just made millions on betting for Biden.

I agree but Iā€™m taking it out of lock territory with the caveat that the AP knows more than me. Weā€™re going to hold because of Pima I think.
