Biden just doubled his lead in Michigan

Politico reports he's up now by 31,530 with 96% of expected vote.

Approximately 216,726 votes not counted. Which means Trump would have to get about 2/3rds of what's left. I'm guessing many of those remaining are still in Detroit.

Biden is up to a 37,348 lead with 98% counted. That means about 106,882 left to be counted. I suspect the AP will call Michigan for Biden soon.

Politico had him about 14K ahead and an update put him up to 31K. Much depends on how much is left. The smaller the number of outstanding votes, the greater the share required to make up the difference.

Trump is falling more and more behind as the votes are counting. Heading towards 4 million.

They called Arizona yesterday. Trump called Murdock, raging. But Murdock said a week ago Trump would lose.

Fox is funny, especially Greg Gutfield, the loud mouth of the 5!

...Flint isn't playing into this election more. Perhaps it has, and it might have gone the other way without that, but I'l have thought that that issue alone would have soured a lot of Michiganders on the GOP this time around.

As I say, maybe it has...but it's hard for me to understand how it can even be close.
