The Remaining Vote in Pennsylvania Appears to Be Overwhelmingly for BidenJoe Biden has won absentee ballots counted in Pennsylvania by an overwhelming margin so far [78%] according to data from the Secretary of State early Wednesday. If he carried the remaining absentee ballots by a similar margin, he would win the state.
President Trump leads by nearly 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania as of 5 a.m. on Wednesday, and Mr. Bidens chances depend on whether he can win a large percentage of the more than 1.4 million absentee ballots that remain to be counted.
So far, Mr. Biden has won absentee voters in Pennsylvania, 78 percent to 21 percent, according to the Secretary of States office. The results comport with the findings of pre-election surveys and an analysis of absentee ballot requests, which all indicated that Mr. Biden held an overwhelming lead among absentee voters.
If Mr. Biden won the more than 1.4 million absentee votes by such a large margin, he would net around 800,000 votes enough to overcome his deficit statewide.

(128,441 posts)5. There has been this assumption that the vast majority of the "no-excuse absentee ballots"
were submitted by Democrats and I believe the state even noted something like a 2/3 to 1/3 D/R proportion of requests of them. So a good chunk will be for Biden. That's why the GOP lawyers are furiously trying to find a way to invalidate those ballots. And the irony is, the majority-GOP state assembly was the one who put the damn law in place last fall!!!

The irony is that if Trump is successful is stopping the count right now (which he wont), Biden wins.
