So...Biden won, right?

I know the final announcement hasn't been made but I have been watching the betting markets all day and Biden is at about 90% on those right now and the Republicans on those sites keep saying it's over and Biden won. I know we have to still be weary because Trump is clearly not handling this well but can I finally breathe again? Can I go to sleep tonight and not have to worry about headlines like "Trump Reelected" tomorrow morning?

AZ, NV, GA, PA--I think he needs at one or two of those. BusyBeingBest Nov 2020 #1
No he hasn't won yet, so don't jinx him. mtnsnake Nov 2020 #2
We still need either PA or (NV and AZ) to reach 270 officially Claustrum Nov 2020 #3
NV and AZ will work Abnredleg Nov 2020 #7
Yes, I provided 2 possible paths, one is PA alone, or the second path is NV + AZ Claustrum Nov 2020 #13

Sorry for not being clear enough. I am just used to the OR clause as an engineer.

Nevada and Arizona...where we are leading. He will likely take PA as well but it won't matter.

as well as more AZ and NV calls but if those come in, then absent PA, NC, and GA, he has won.

Maybe I should drop a $1000 on Trump. Biden wins then I am happy. Trump wins then I have at least money for drugs, really good drugs (and I don't even use drugs).

DO need a 'final' 270, which will come soon, depending on calculations. (PA has 20 EVs, and likely won't be 'done' counting til Friday.)

AZ is done. There’s no way for Trump to find the votes.

NV should be too, but the margin is smaller, but a lot less voters.

But I think Biden wins PA tomorrow.

Much too close to call. People are getting ahead of themselves. It looks good but it ain’t over.

Yahoo.com/elections has Biden at 248, that's 22 short. Nv and mi gets him to 270 (6 and 16 ev respectivly)

is confident of victory, so while we need to wait for the votes to trickle in, it's likely we got this.
