Pennsylvania: Clear as day this is going to end Trump's campaign

If you listen carefully to the PA Governor, SoS (especially today), and AG, added with the reporting that I'm seeing, it seems that everyone is confident that Joe will win this handily.

Senator Bob Casey is saying it could be in excess of 100,000 votes that Joe wins by, but that itself won't happen today.

At least reading between the lines, it seems that this is going to be over late tonight. I'm not saying Trump won't stop his frivolous lawsuits or that he will concede, but I think we could see Joe and Kamala crowned tonight.

No one really knows how many mail in/absentee ballots are left in Philly. Joe is winning these 9-1.

4-1 in the other Urban counties.

Then Joe is winning the Red County Mail-in's by 2-1 to 3-1.

So it is looking good but hard to tell the final number.

I don't mind the extra time counting at all, especially since its going our way. But the incidents along the way are taking my focus away. Just like these last 4 years.

They have a procedural issue to sort out in Allegheny County that means they can't continue to count most of their outstanding votes until tomorrow.

And Allegheny County is not the entire state.

Biden grabs a lead in PA bigger than the number of outstanding ballots to be counted. Actually, that’s not even necessary since the Allegheny votes are going to favour Biden anyway.

I'm not saying for sure, but there seems to be something out there making me feel there will be enough by tonight.

This from CBS News from the PA SoS/AG: Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar "indicated that the vast majority of those ballots would be done, counted today, so I think you'll have a better sense where Pennsylvania is likely to land later today," Shapiro said.

We fought the British Royal Crown to free these lands of a Monarchy. It would be nice to keep it that way.

These Fascist lemmings might think a Queen or King a nifty idea. And appoint trDump the first King of the trDump Dynasty. The 300 year trDump Family Dynasty,... wouldn't that be just wonderful.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

He would have 306 EVs, exactly what Trump had in his "electoral landslide" in 2016. I think we go all out for NC to put him over that.

Joe is going to trounce Trump in the popular vote. He's way ahead already and there are tons of votes to be counted just on the West Coast that haven't been included.

And remember, we are watching the red mirage disappear before our eyes. I don't know about NC, but most of the ballots that have not been counted skew HEAVILY towards Joe. That is also helping down ballot folks like Ossoff in GA, and may help Cunningham in NC.

If anyone has more info in what's left in NC and how much of that is mail ballots, that would be great.

This site gives you a really good breakdown for not just North Carolina but all of the remaining states county by county.

Of note, Mecklenburg and Wake counties are yet to be counted and they are lean blue and the largest counties in the state.

He just got another 7 or 8,000 in Lehigh and moved into the lead there, as I predicted he would. And it looks like there's another 15% outstanding there.

I know a number of PA natives, and while a majority of them were Republicans when I met them, only the very hard-core "libtard-smackin'" have remained. The GOP lost the rest of them during the Bush 43 admin, and I'd like to think I had a hand in that.

They are good people, but just not that political, except for the aforementioned hardcore. Turned out that there was kind of a ringleader, in that people checked with her to see how she was voting and then followed suit. I was patient, kind and respectful, and while it took some time, I "flipped" about a dozen.

I know. It doesn't sound like much, but how many people flipping a dozen each would it take to start making a real difference? I look at it as a ripple in the pond.
