WTH is going on in WI, MI, OH and PA?

[CousinIT]

All have Trump leading. Is this a case of big blue areas not being counted yet? OH is 82% votes counted.

Biden can not lose ALL these.

1. None of the mail in vote has been counted

This was expected.

[Ms. Toad]

14. Not true in Ohio - virtually all of the early/absentee vote has been counted.

In Ohio, the early/mail-in is the first counted.

[VMA131Marine]

15. True but I was not counting on Biden winning OH

[Claustrum]

2. They don't tally mail in till this morning while other states started days ago.

So most votes we have now are election day votes which lean Trump.

[AlexSFCA]

3. unfortunately, he can.

[MissB]

4. Nothing is wrong

Particularly in PA, there are tons of votes that won’t be finished counted until Friday. These include the huge urban areas.

It’s ok.

5. This is the red mirage we were warned about.

Give it time.

[roamer65]

6. Only 17 pct of the early vote counted in MI.

7. Its the red mirage. Relax. NT

8. they are mainly reporting today's votes.

the early votes wont come until tomorrow.

[Blue_true]

9. Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are bared by law from counting mail-in votes

early. So their totals may only be election day votes, which Trump was expected to win.

[FakeNoose]

18. Right! Pennsylvania reported the in-person votes from the smaller counties so far

The eastern side of the state including Philly and suburbs - haven't reported vote counts yet. When they do it's going to be high percentage Dem counts.

The early mail-in votes are only being counted right now and it's going to take at least a day, maybe two to get them all counted. The early mail-ins are also high percentage Dem voters.

So more than 50% of PA has yet to be reported. Figure the Biden numbers will double by tomorrow.

19. With Biden taking Arizona and having what is believed to be a big mail-in lead,

I would rather be in Joe's shoes that Trump's shoes right now.

[msongs]

10. red rural counties report first nt

[Ms. Toad]

16. Not in Ohio.

In Ohio, the early/absentee votes are couted first.

[Doodley]

11. If we get WI, MI, and PA, we don't have to win OH.

[inwiththenew]

12. Ohio is creeping from Purple to Red

It went 8% for Trump in 2016 and it will probably go close to that in 2020. Republicans control the state almost completely at the state government level. It's crazy.

[philf99]

13. Ohio not much different than 2016

It was good when it started but the night went south fast.

I want to cry

[jcgoldie]

17. All night states have been releasing early vote when polls close

...Biden had a big lead that was chipped away as election day results trickled in... but in those states they couldn't start counting early votes until today so the effect will be reversed.

[Celerity]

20. Red Mirage for all but OH nt
