With Biden now crushing Trump nationally. I want you to make a surprising prediction of election night. What surprises do you think we'll see and not in the bad way. The good surprises.
Mine is Biden wins Texas.
I'd love to hear yours.

The election authorities have had time to prepare.

(28,493 posts)Many states are counting absentee and early ballots pretty much as soon as they arrive. I understand from the Secretary of State of NM that as soon as the polls close November 3, those totals will be released immediately. It will be the in-person voting that day that will take a bit longer.
I'm sure much the same is true with most states. Of course, a couple of biggies won't begin counting the absentee ballots until the morning of November 3, so those will take a long time. Hopefully not enough to put the EC in any kind of limbo or doubt.
I'm also willing to predict that all of a sudden Trump will demand we wait until all the absentee/mailed-in ballots are counted before deciding anything.
