If Biden wins NC, AZ, MI and WI, he doesn't need FL or PA.

That would give him 285 EVs, still without GA, IA, or OH. 285 is a good number while not having bigger states because Trump taking away one battleground state's EVs in court still won't get him the win (a "two-score game," as football fans would put it).



This EV combination could allow networks to call the race for Biden earlier on election night or week.

Or AZ without NC if the more Republican ME district or the Omaha district go to him. That would cut it close!

"two-score lead" we need to severely damage Trump's prospects of overturning the result in court.

From there he has a huge smorgasbord of BGs to pick off, any one of which will put him over 270.

...or any other Islay Whiskey for that matter. Once you try this, it's really makes every other Whiskey seem pointless and these bottles are not cheap.
