The BBC have been talking about the hypothetical 269/269 tie. 

 

The BBC seem to be focusing on all worst case scenarios and basically asking everyone they interview if they are expecting a riot between now and the postal votes being counted

 

They have also mentioned the 2000 election and the prospect of litigation regardless of the result.

Fox have not retracted Arizona after all. 
 

No they haven’t, and to clarify, that’s not what I was referring to in my tweet. More about it not being a consensus call yet (want to see AP call it).

 

Anyway, this time I really am going to bed!

Biden, whilst saying not a lot, preempts Trump’s inevitable declaration of victory.

 

 

 

You called it.

 

Trump already blaming the Polish (or just can't spell polls) and stating he will be announcing later "a big win"

Arizona is going to be close but even assuming it goes blue, if I were a betting man I’d be backing Trump to prevail. It’s incredibly, incredibly tight and could go either way, however.

 

A quite astonishing night.

So if Biden wins Arizona and Michigan is that enough or would he also need another.I can't see him taking Pennsylvania to be honest.

He’d need Wisconsin and Michigan if he loses Pennsylvania.

 

I’m with you re: PA

Aye it's a huge amount to make up in Pennsylvania.The others it's realistic to say either way I forgot about Wisconsin I knew there was another but having just woken up after two hours sleep I couldn't quite remember it.

In the strange world of America it probably really did swing a few votes for him

Biden might pinch this but what a poor, poor candidate. Four years of Trump being the biggest fud in the history of man and this is how close it is? The Democrats need shooting

Has he mentioned that he’s the first president to use floodlights yet?

 

 

He taught Bolsonaro how to President.

To summarise Trump, any state where he's in front he's won them, and any state he's behind he's going to win, no probs.

Basically he's covering all the bases, either he's won, or he's firing the starting pistol on a civil war.

He’s setting the stage to deny the results after the ballots are counted, should he lose.

 

His plan all along. A complete madman.

Deriding the revelation of states that have been attributed to Biden still with votes to count. 
 

Then celebrating states being won, still with votes to count.

This is going to get messy.

 

Disappointing to wake up to find out that more than 60 million people voted for him .

Been clear for some time it’s coming down to Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin should Biden swing Arizona.

 

I still see it as a big ask for Biden to get 2 from 3.

He needs 75% of postal votes to take Pennsylvania so that ain't happening.Im just totally bemused how folk from Michigan can vote Republican after the shit hand they have been dealt from them the last 4 years.

I'd say Trump has lost, why else would you come out with such bile. 

Win win. If he still wins its despite the corruption as hes such a hero. If he loses it was rigged

He publicly stated, "we are 2.5% ahead in Georgia, with 7% votes to be counted. They can't catch us."

 

I've just had to spell out to a 'friend' why that is nonsense. Thats not how numbers work...

Yep, he’ll close in Pennsylvania but not by that amount.

 

Crazy, crazy times.

It now looks like Trump is clear.

700,000 up in Pennsylvania.

However, the Dems are out to steal.

 

If Trump had the guile he'd steal it too. Snooze you lose.

I just hope the Dems have stuffed enough mail sacks.👍

I’m basing my projection on Nevada being blue and Georgia red (Georgia is closing but time is running out)

 

If I’m correct, it still requires 2 from 3 of aforementioned states.

 

The narrative on the US news outlets is re PA but I think it’s still too big an ask. Wisconsin is the one I’m looking at, should close as postals are counted.

 

Its going to the wire.

I think counting has ceased in Georgia (Atlanta). Burst water main or something, so they sent the counters hame.
