Pennsylvania, bring it home for Joe today!

1. Here's hoping! But why do I have it in my mind that PA is a Friday thing?

Did I make that up?

[MoonRiver]

3. I heard that yesterday. But today I'm hearing the votes may be in today.

Fingers crossed

2. Less than

136,000 votes separation.

[MaryMagdaline]

4. How many votes left to count?

[idziak4ever1234]

6. That seems to be the question

Some people are saying that there are enough for Biden to likely win by more than 100,00. Others are saying that there are barely enough.

7. I posted this in another thread here earlier - still over 3/4 million votes out state-wide

20 electoral votes up for grabs as Pennsylvania mail-in ballot count continues

By Tim Jimenez and Jim Melwert KYW Newsradio 1060


PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- It is still too early to call a winner in the presidential race in Pennsylvania, because mail-in ballots are still being counted. As of now, according to Pennsylvania's Department of State, close to 30% of mail-in ballots need to be counted. That's 763,000 votes. And that includes somewhere around 120,000 from Philly alone and 134,000 from the suburbs.

Montgomery County officials announced Thursday morning that all eligible votes that were returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day have been counted. The final tally among those votes -- Biden: 313,000; Trump: close to 183,000.

And Bucks County now says Joe Biden has taken a 4,000-vote lead there. It is unclear how this affects statewide numbers, because Pennsylvania hasn’t updated its website yet.

Going into today, President Donald Trump had a 164,000-vote lead over challenger Joe Biden in Pennsylvania. The race has tightened significantly since the county began processing mail-in ballots, as officials say they expected. Mail-in ballots have generally favored Biden across the map. Biden says he's confident he'll win the state.

Per @PAStateDept close to 30% of mail-in ballots haven’t been counted yet. Breaking it down, around 250k are from Philly and the Burbs, with close to half of that figure being from the city.

There were at least 120,000 mail-ins left to do here. They were reportedly processing about 10,000/hr.

9. Thanks BumRush! Awesome post.

Looking hopeful.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. You are welcome and the ballot counters are being sojourned outside

by a rally to keep the MAGats away! This is where Ghouliani and the 45 spawn tried to hold a presser yesterday and got run out, fleeing 15 miles north to Northeast Philly airport (if I heard it correctly this morning on the radio) to hold their idiotic presser.

Happening now “Count Every Vote” rally in Philly.

“We’re just here to have a good time and make sure every vote gets counted”

Across the street smaller group asking to stop counting votes “in after Election Day.”

13. That's hilarious about Ghouliani!

I really enjoyed that clip of the Count every Vote rally!

I see you are local in Pennsylvania, so your input has been awesome!

Can’t wait for the results.

10. They were reporting 140k votes in Philly remaining.

Going to need some help from the Philly burbs.

12. There are still votes out in Allegheny County (which includes Pittsburgh)

UPDATE 4:30 a.m.: No ballot counting will be happening Thursday at the Allegheny County Election Headquarters.

The warehouse where ballots are counted will be closed for the day after workers finished counting mail-in ballots shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday.

There were 313,072 mail-in and absentee ballots that were scanned and counted.

Another 35,413 ballots still need to be manually examined. That number includes the 29,000 incorrect ballots that went out in the county and were later corrected with the mailing of new ballots. The rest have other issues, such as naked ballots or ballots that got damaged in the mail.

Back at the elections warehouse in Allegheny County this morning. Building is closed today. So no counting. Election Return Board will meet at 9 am tomorrow to start examining 35,000 mail-ins, those include the 29,000 incorrect ballots that went out in the county. @WPXI pic.twitter.com/onHsd3KHM0

The County Return Board is expected to examine those ballots Friday.

Currently in Allegheny County, Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by about 19 points.
