Not officially yet, but you know...

1. K&R, Eric Trump is in Penn screaming at the refs and the fans have left the stage

[exboyfil]

11. Eric

Do a Karl Rove. Do a Karl Rove.

[sandensea]

46. What a memory

Was a great day!

[LakeArenal]

2. All we need is NV and AZ. But happy to hear it.

[empedocles]

16. Got 269 pretty wrapped, right?

[LakeArenal]

25. Just what I heard John King said. I only get CNN or Fox.

[TeamPooka]

31. Biden is at 253 right now. AZ is 11, NV is 6. I know math is hard but try it.

Hint: it equals 270.

[SlogginThroughIt]

51. Why the snark?

There is no reason for it.

[lame54]

3. I don't know - I need that checkmark

[rownesheck]

4. Do states

normally do that? Inform candidates like that?

[MissB]

7. It isn't the state it's the state Democratic Party.

[ZZenith]

8. Party officials, I'm sure.

[House of Roberts]

5. Bonus: Trump will freak out when his lead fritters away.

[HubertHeaver]

44. Send the pResident a box of fritters.

[cilla4progress]

6. Ya think?

Just shared with my inner circle.

I was SO SICK AND PANICKY all night till this afternoon (w. coast).

[Squinch]

9. Do we know if John Bresnahan is dependable? I don't know of him.

[octoberlib]

15. He's the Congressional Bureau Chief for Politico

so you might have a point but nobody's come out and denied this yet. We do need official confirmation.

[Squinch]

18. At any rate, the more drops in the bucket of good news the better, so thanks for the thread.

I won't rest till it's over.

[mtnsnake]

53. On Politico's website his actual title is "senior congressional reporter"

He's supposed to be well sourced.

[underpants]

10. Need a lock

[mvd]

12. That would be so great!

I was disgusted when my state went Dump in 2016.

[DFW]

13. Politico?

Is there any other source backing this up?

[TwilightZone]

17. Came here to say that.

[DFW]

21. There was a roundtable on German TV Monday night

Included was a German speaking (just barely--he had a thick Austrian accent) Politico correspondent. He was at least up front about his Republican preferences.

[octoberlib]

20. Sen. Bob Casey was on MSNBC basically saying the same thing.

I'm still nervous, though, honestly.

[triron]

14. Sure enough! Now let's get Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina.

[42bambi]

19. Trump never got over the fact that Hillary got millions more votes than

he did; and Trump never got over Obama's inauguration crowd size; and - and now - Joe Biden has the most votes of ANY president in history! Gee, that makes me smile just thinking about how Trump will react to that!

[Thekaspervote]

22. And with that to hang on to I'm taking a much deserved nap!

[Initech]

23. HELL YES!!! GO JOE!!!!!

[Cheezoholic]

24. Remember, weren't those mail in ballots

Ordered to be seperated after counting for possible litigation? Not rying to be a downer. Hope I'm wrong.

[Tommymac]

40. The ones that arrive after 11/3 and on or before 11/6. Plus the Military Vote that's next week.

They are segregating those out.

The ones being counted are the mail-in ballots that were received by Nov3.

And from what I hear there are more then the estimate...quite a few more.

We kinda overperformed here in The Great Blue Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I feel good!

[Kitchari]

26. Go, Joe!

Soul of the country indeed

[TexasProgresive]

27. Philadelphia the birthplace of the nation will be know as the rebirth.

[yaesu]

28. Carvil just now said he thinks Biden will win PA by 150K nt

[PirateRo]

29. Bottom of the ninth, top of the order on base

Heavy hitters on deck, bases loaded, no outs.

[George II]

35. And we're rooting for a few wild pitches. Analogous to the ninth inning in the 6th game in 1986???

[Dagstead Bumwood]

38. Trump is Buckner? Sounds about right.

[PirateRo]

39. Woohoo!

[Catherine Vincent]

30. I hope they're not duping his officials

[yardwork]

32. Oh please oh please oh please

[Jakes Progress]

33. Professional pessimist here.

But does that 100K-200K include the mail in votes from today? Four Scotus justices (not including amy asterisk) have indicated that they agree with the trump team that those votes were not to be counted.

Do not underestimate how far from a democracy the US is right now.

[shrike3]

37. My understanding is that these are ballots received before or on election day.

Any Duer is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

[Tommymac]

41. See Post #24 above.

[shrike3]

42. Thanks so much for the info.

[Jakes Progress]

49. You are right, but then

I didn't say they came in late. I just said that if trump brings this to the SC, they will not do the right thing. Probably 6/3, or at least 5/4, they will reinstall trump. Those justices have already said they sympathize with the trump campaign's argument. I didn't say it was right or legal. But this court wasn't packed to do the right or legal thing.

[Blue_true]

48. They are counting pre or 11/3 arrived ballots.

The ones from today have been segregated.

It will be rich if Trump hurts himself by getting the post 12/3 ballots thrown out, given that they may help him some if counted.

[Jakes Progress]

50. See reply 49.

[George II]

34. I did some calculations based on the outstanding votes and Biden's % of similar votes.....

....I get an increase of 550,000 from being down about 275,000, meaning he'll win by about 275,000-300,000. Not too far off from what they told Biden's people.

[Jon King]

36. Nate Cohn NY Times says the same...

Nate Cohn, NY Times election guy with a great twitter site, said a few minutes ago PA will not be close and Biden by 2% in PA. Nate has been pretty accurate on all these toss ups.

[griloco]

43. Well, in that case....not too early

[Eyeball_Kid]

45. Not quite, IMO.

It’s a tough road to flip the Senate. Still possible, but the chances are dwindling.

[Blue Owl]

47. Start packing your bags, Donny

[mtnsnake]

52. Its encouraging but I'm not gonna jump up & cheer until I see the final vote count in Biden's favor

no matter what someone is telling me about what "they believe" is going to happen. I'll be thrilled when it actually happens. Sorry, but I guess it's all the past disappointments we've suffered after being told we had it in the bag that have me feeling this way. It just isn't the ballgame until the last batter is out.
