(1,602 posts)Broward is now at 900,000 votes and the day is still young, and the voting is overwhelmingly for the Ds. If Florida continues in this vein, then, yeah, Trump is likely going to panicking by now.

(1,178 posts)So I'm thinking 10 pm Central? I'm thinking by 10 pm Eastern we'll be pretty close to the tipping point.....I'm thinking it'll simply be a matter of which order the media organizations feel comfortable in calling it during the 10 pm eastern hour. They usually like to wait until all of the polls in the continental US have closed, though.

(1,178 posts)A slight correction on my part and it's in regard to my last point about waiting until voting ends in the continental U.S....the Pacific Coast states (California, Oregon and Washington) close at 11 pm Eastern (which would be 10 pm James Carville time)....so that's more likely going to be the tipping point time.

If two or more go to Biden, its over.

(25,841 posts)Trump and his minions think that most states are like Pennsylvania in not counting mailed in or early votes until after Election Day in person votes. Somehow they are unaware that most states count all those as they come in, and typically those are the first results released after polls close. They are aware that the mailed in an early votes will skew very Democratic, so their presumption that the Republicans will have an early lead this evening is completely ignorant.
It really will be fun watching them suddenly suing to allow late arriving ballots be counted.
