Biden's lead is now currently bigger than Trump's final 2016 margin in both MI and WI!




Biden’s lead is now currently bigger than Trump’s final 2016 margin in both MI and WI and is projected to grow. Estimates are his PA lead will be bigger as well. If smaller margins were good enough for Trump to collapse the Blue Wall, larger ones certainly OK to rebuild it.

map.

The last time I checked MI didn't look that good. This is going in the right direction.

Philly is processing 10,000 mail-in ballots an hour on their new equipment and plan to continue to process 24/7 until they are done. I think I had seen that they got ~425,000 mail-ins.

I cautiously optimistic that we will be okay with MI and WI. However, PA looks bad right now. Seems like a ton of votes are needed to erode Trump’s lead. 🤞 that he is able to get PA and GA...Not very optimistic about NC.

that are uncounted. The vast majority are in the Dem strongholds of SE Pa (Philly and suburbs) and Allegheny county. I've seen estimates of up to 70% of the ballot requests were from Democratic voters.

Will it be enough?

Then I spent Wednesday morning devising fantasies of uncounted votes in unidentified counties saving us all. Now I'm trying to think clearly and vanquish vote fantasies.

Now is better.
