Polls had Biden up by 8 in the popular vote and with 40 million votes already in it is essentially tied. It’s gonna be close. Joe’s got a good chance but it’s gonna be real real close.

15. You posted this was "initial votes". Now you are saying "40 million votes" have been counted.

Where did you come up with 40 million. Michigan has 10 million people in the state

I have no idea what you are talking about

The polls nationally had joe up by 8 in the popular vote and based on the 40 million votes already counted it is clear that he isn’t going to win by anything close to 8. This indicates that the polls are off - we won’t know how much until it’s all said and done, but we do know they’re off.

The voting is way too early in Michigan to make an assessment

Only 15% have been in so far

They said that there would probably be a "red mirage" in those Midwest states since, unlike FL/GA/NC etc., they haven't been processing mail-in votes ahead of time, so, you are probably seeing mostly Election Day votes, which are expected to skew Republican.

Chill. It's early.

You might consider providing some context when you express yourself.

It always looks redder than it ends up when the Detroit area votes come in. It's too early to say anything about what will happen.
