Why is the MI SOS office so far off? Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #12
Looks like they way behind in updating current results. Like about 1/2 the total. honest.abe Nov 2020 #13
I wonder if the media outlets are pulling directly from county data BumRushDaShow Nov 2020 #15
The site says it updates every 10 minutes, but the last update Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #17

Could it be due to Trump camp legal challenge to stop the vote count Scully Nov 2020 #19
No it seems like something more common that happens with these data systems. BumRushDaShow Nov 2020 #24

You know what!

Joe's watching this & knows Trump is writhing on the floor every time those #'s go up..
It's like death by a thousand cuts.

Haa!

in case of recount controversy. (I am speculating on that point.)

Without Nevada I think Joe will still need 6 more even with winning WI & MI.

Then it would come down needing to win 1 of PA/NC/GA

I think we need Nevada because those other states are questionable.

Confident Nevada is going blue, but I've been through too many of these close elections in my lifetime to take anything for granted.

We Got This.

Here in PA, are state data for Philly had been way off as I expect they have their own "update" interval and then don't update again until the next designated time, where the counties here are updating more frequently.

someone needs to kick the process or something.

If they are updating every 10 minutes then that is probably when they go out and poll their county data (assuming that the counties are not manually entering it and the update just does a total of updated data and refreshes the page).

I think here in PA, they had planned to segregate any potential ballots that might be questioned in a suit and haven't planned to count them until last IIRC.

They have "threatened" to file suit but I don't think they have yet. Am listening to a news story on all the suits that they are threatening for MI, WI, and PA.

How depressing that so many voters in Michigan are being fooled by that empty suit the Republicans are running. Vomit.
