Goofy already called it, but AP is showing an abundance of caution for once

I’ve paced my house so much the last few days that my arthritis is acting up in my knee. Usually it takes two days of golf in a row without a cart to do that.
Jesus i need to go back into full media blackout.

I have no idea what the process is, but perhaps they have scanned them, but just haven’t actually updated the vote totals?
EDIT: I figure there’s a possibility that ballots were scanned, but the memory cards or whatever haven’t been uploaded or whatever.

i like the sad implication that one doesn’t start paying attention to politics until they have children and a mortgage on a nice but sensible family home
I think Clinton has a stronger claim to the presidency than Harris.

GA looking like a nah given the 47k value BUT the percentage here is a share of overall vote totals for the county, not that of mail-in.

Not really following the freakout. The estimate has been ~50k since it went to 15k or whatever. It’s still a 63/37 split needed.
I suppose it’s also possible that Cuse is right and there are a ton of ballots getting thrown out for the naked ballot issue, and that as a result we could actually be fucked in PA. That could explain why the totals aren’t increasing with the ballots counted going down.

The freak out is that the denominator keeps dropping in all of these states without the numerator changing at all.
These Canadians are getting pretty mouthy. USA #1 bros, after we replay the Civil War how about another crack at 1812?

Georgia deficit just ticked down to 12,764. Still need a big move.
Can you show me where/when anyone ever thought there was ~60k votes in GA left to count with a 13k difference?
The good news is, I just ran through every county in this chart (ignoring the smaller ones below it), and until you get to Mercer, Biden is basically 70%+ in the existing mail-in count. In most cases 75%+. In Mercer/Blair/Carbon he is 60%+.

From a time spent counting ballots to a results analysis, since about 10 this morning Biden in PA has made up a 38k deficit. If they really expect to finishing counting tonight and Biden still has to make up 109k…
I’m pretty sure there’s a decent sized delta between counted and reported going right now. That’s the only thing that makes any of these numbers make sense. They’re telling us how close they are to done physically counting and the results of that counting are lagging way behind because incompetence.

@JordanIB OK, I think that dashboard is an accurate figure of outstanding mail ballots as of around 1:30 today.
So there were ~369k outstanding and a gap of ~114k at that time. Meaning the balance need to go 66% or better for Joe to catch up.

I hadn’t been paying attention to Erie County, but it’s a Dem leaning county overall so we should crush that sample of ballots pretty hard too. 17K left there.
There are also 14K left in Monroe, we’re running at -3% there overall so we should do pretty well with those too. Conservatively, it should be 65-35 or 70-30.
Remain calm everyone, PA is going to be fine.

Shit I completely forgot about that stupid privacy sleeve nonsense. I really hope those totals are not counting the sleeveless ones that are getting thrown out
