538's guide on how vote counting is likey to go in every state

538 has a guide out on what to expect from every state, in terms of how long it will take to count ballots, how the results might shift around as votes are counted, as well as other interesting races in each state to keep an eye on. I don't think they are so much saying that all of the states that might take awhile to get final results won't be called before results are in (like California is expected to take awhile to count but should be projected for Biden as soon as the polls close).

It's an interesting read

BUT: if Trump is winning in Sumter County by less than 60%, it's over in FL (probably).

I would like to be in bed by midnight.
