3. So, 4,000 votes for Trump and 3,000 for Biden...?

That works out to Trump winning about 57%, slightly off the 58% they're saying he'll need to catch up. A slight improvement, but hardly "huge."

7. Other way, Biden netted +795

This is a very good omen, but the number of votes tallied that AZ has released in the last 24 hours is a flipping joke. At this rate they won't finish for like a week.

I wonder if someone's slow-rolling it hoping it's all decided before Arizona weighs in with it's winner.

9. They were like this with Simena in 2018

They must have one person doing all the counting. I believe there are 200,000 ballots still out there.
There is a chance Trump will take this.

AZ GOP is known to vote by mail.

10. Votes coming up are the ones dropped off on Election Day at drop boxes/polling places ...

No reason to think the Trump Supporters were more likely to do that. In fact I'd bet Democrats were more likely to do that.

11. I have heard it's common for younger voters to wait until the last day to drop off ballots

Biden might actually expand his lead.

12. There's also going to be a ton of Democrats that didn't trust DeJoy's mail ...

Repubs would've been more likely to think 'oh, that stuff is all hyped-up Dem lies, USPS is kicking ass cause Donnie Dollhand's Guy is in charge!11!' and thus just mailed theirs.

14. Great point! I am 51 and I didn't trust the mail. I dropped mine off but a couple of weeks

before election day. At age 25 I can totally see myself rushing to get it dropped off at the last minute.

5. There were warnings that trumP would get a small bump in votes today

I forget where I read it. My brain is having trouble retaining memory because of the stress. But we were told to expect a slight bump for BLOTUS and then, nuthin' much for him after that.

8. Yes those were to be the mail-in ballots that were received last by mail & expected lean Trump

But coming up are the mail-in ballots that were actually dropped off in the ballot boxes ON Election Day. It can be expected that these are not going to favor Trump nearly as much as he needs them to.

Democrats would've either sent their votes in PLENTY early (and are already counted) OR they dropped them off ... and if you're going to drop them off, you might as well just do it on Election Day. Less chance they 'get lost' somehow.
