1. Praying it's good news for Biden/Harris

[Orange Buffoon]

2. We've been hearing it's "imminent" for the last two hours.

[applegrove]

5. Cuomo said it was coming in 15 minutes at 1:48 AM.

8. Cut them some slack! They've had a unruly crowd chanting outside and had to call the police

[sweetloukillbot]

23. They're having "problems transmitting" them

Read: We're trapped in here by an unruly, armed mob.

[TlalocW]

There are four 2 AMs in the contiguous United States.

TlalocW

[applegrove]

12. Maybe 6 minutes. But tune in now.

[TlalocW]

Screw that! 😀

[applegrove]

18. LOL! My cable just went out. Can you tell me what the news is. I can't

get things up and running on the tv right now.

[TlalocW]

21. I'm just reloading DU

Sick and tired of the pundits.

22. TV back on. I guess there was no new numbers. Hopefully they come soon.

[Thekaspervote]

4. Biden's lead will shrink, so don't be surprised, but he's expected to carry the state

He’s currently at 79,000+ Final total will be approx +29,000.

6. PA has fewer votes left than we thought

only 488K not over 700K BUT Biden only needs 68 percent of that and something like 120K is Philly where he's going to be North of 80.
Which will reduce the remaining percentage to I think something like 61 percent of the remainder give or take...it's late and I haven't slept much so my math may be off.

[Blaukraut]

11. How is he going to end up 100k ahead, though?

He's still 165k behind, and 488k isn't a lot to work with anymore. And my math is terrible, so forgive me, too.

[qazplm135]

15. It still only requires 68 percent to tie

and he's hitting higher than that AND 120+ are in Philly where he is getting well over 80 percent, sometimes 90.

If he just continues doing the average he is doing, he would approach 100K (maybe not quite getting there).

[Thekaspervote]

20. Thx for the breakdown! 100k would be nice, but we just need a solid win, like MI or WI

[regnaD kciN]

13. Dave Wasserman at Cook Report is really skeptical of those numbers...

...as it would imply that Philadelphia has considerably lower turnout than 2016, which we aren’t seeing anywhere else. He adds that, even if the lower number is true, it doesn’t change his prediction of the outcome.

[qazplm135]

17. not disagreeing with him obviously

and the numbers are still below what Biden's be doing all day and all night in absentee votes.

So it's not panic time, but it's just possibly less than we expected.

[budkin]

16. Wasserman calling bullshit

There hasn’t been reduced turnout anywhere else

[standingtall]

19. I would guess that 212,000 difference is a batch of votes they finished counting

but have not reported yet. I remember them saying on the news they were counting like 230,000 votes tonight. Which is why I make that guess.

[regnaD kciN]

7. It's probably going to be much like the last one...

...as I understand this will be the last of the late mail-ins, which have been running around 2:1 Republican. After this, the remaining ballots are Election Day drop-offs, which are far more balanced.

So don’t freak out if these show our lead dropping a lot more. It sounds like this will be the last “bad” batch.

[grantcart]

25. Yep

[Baclava]

24. 11,000 gain for Trump on new batch of 65,000 ballots with 300,000 more to count, days to go

Next count update, 7pm tomorrow evening in AZ. No real way to tell if gains continue.

Biden still has around 70,000 lead overall
