Joe Biden just became

[BGBD]

the first Democrat to win GA in a Presidential race in 28 years.

There aren't enough votes out there to get Trump back in the lead. Almost everything left is going to pad Bidens leads now.

I don’t know what you plan on doing between 4 and 5am but I plan on delivering what could be game changing numbers out of PA on @msnbc with @AymanM.

Sleep when you’re dead and join us.

That is an old folks' saying that I grew up hearing from my mom who said that her own grandfather used to say something along the line of - "Grand-daughter, you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're dead".

[Cha]

18. Didn't realize it had a long history.. I

first heard it when I lived the 1st time on Kauai back in the '90s.. someone was talking about her studying for tests and working with a baby and said that to those of us in the kitchen at work.

I never said it.. 'cause I like my sleep too much. lol

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Oh yeah... that goes WAY back

and my mother's grandfather (my great-grandfather) was born in 1876!

[Cha]

25. It got/gets around!

[Buns_of_Fire]

38. Even back to Ben Franklin (who probably stole it from King Ramses II of Egypt):

“How much more than necessary do we spend in sleep, forgetting that the sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleeping enough in the grave, as Poor Richard says.”

24. Great news from Georgia!

I just woke up. Are the new PA numbers being announced shortly? Or later in the morning?

[BumRushDaShow]

26. I have been waiting for Philly to update the city's website

because they have been doing it about every 3.5 hours (more often than the state) and the last update the city did was at 1:21 am EST.

[jayschool2013]

47. Warron Zevon "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead"

[Catcar]

2. We have a Predident!

[lambchopp59]

32. We have a president-elect. Hope for the future.

Meantime we still gots stupid Mr "Fire Fauci".

[SergeStorms]

40. Not quite.

Georgia would bring Biden's EV to 269, one short. I don't know what happened to that one EV from Nebraska.

[GB_RN]

44. He got it

But he didn’t get all of Maine’s EVs. Dolt45 got one of Maine’s EVs (so they effectively canceled out).

[SergeStorms]

51. On the MSNBC election board yesterday...

they had Biden/Harris at 254 electoral votes. Georgia's 16 EVs would put them right at 270. Today the same board has Biden/Harris at 253 electoral votes. An electoral vote disappeared since yesterday. Either that or I'm hallucinating from lack of sleep.

[Spider Jerusalem]

3. Current total doesn't include overseas/military ballots

number on those is estimated to be around 14K and they trend Republican; I am mildly hopeful about Georgia but also cautious because there could still be a swing in the results back the other way.

[Thekaspervote]

14. I saw a breakdown of that # earlier approx 8k are military, the others US citizens abroad

Yes the military vote tend to go gop, but the civilian vote goes dem. Also, it seems a lot of military ballots are not returned

Let’s hope Biden’s lead holds

[lunatica]

16. Don't forget he called soldiers losers

I hope they have a normal reaction to that. Anger.

[yardwork]

45. None of the people he insults have normal responses.

I don't count on anything at this point.

[treestar]

55. It doesn't seem to work that way

After all that the Ds do for them, all the Michelle and Jill did.

After the Rs leave them high and dry when they return to the US.

They still prefer Rs. It makes no sense. Maybe it does in that they think they are tough people who don't need coddling, so they disrespect Ds trying to help them and think it is alright for them to be on their own when they return?

[BGBD]

19. You guys gotta trust me on this.

There are 10k mail in ballots out there still, they are going to break for Biden by 75%

Bidens lead is going north of 4 or 5k votes at a minimum. Military ballots aren't going to save Trump. Most of the 9k wont be returned and a LOT of GA military votes are from black service members from Atlanta. There are also a lot of provisionals, which will likely break to Biden as well since they are much more likely to be young and minority voters.

And recounts don't really change more than a handful of votes. These things are counted very carefully when tallied.

[bdamomma]

54. yes

MSNBC is being very cautious calling out who won. There's counting going on.


It's not over yet.

[Mystery sage]

5. Don't mean the burst the bubble but they still have the count the military ballots

Otherwise

[Grown2Hate]

28. Kornacki just explained that. They count the

Military and ex-pat as they go. There is a POTENTIAL for 8K more (because that's still pending behind returned), but the deadline is tomorrow. Whatever comes in tomorrow (shit, later today) will be counted. But there's not a stack currently somewhere waiting to be counted.

[Sunsky]

29. Thanks. This is what happens in most states

they count them as they go along but they have a longer time frame to accept the military vote returns to be counted. Some on DU seem to believe that there is a pile of uncounted military votes saved for last.

[Grown2Hate]

30. Honestly, for some reason (as illogical as it seems

in retrospect), that includes ME until that explanation from him.

[Sunsky]

34. Your response will give many Duers clarity

Hopefully, the MSM will spend more time explaining this to the public since many were asleep this morning.

[stopbush]

6. Biden has not yet won GA. He took the lead in GA by 916 votes.

He needs to maintain that lead and add to it.

Kornacki says it’s headed to a recount..

[artemisia1]

23. He will win PA and with it, the election. 916 votes is not enough margin to overcome the military

ballots, I'm afraid, if that truly all that is left outstanding. Those who think a large enough portion of the Armed Forces have turned against Trump to swing it have little to no time in uniform and don't understand how deeply entrenched the false patriotism of most Republicans is. I wish I were wrong, but that's how it was for me (via observation: I kept my non-NeoCon views mostly to myself) and our XO had Fox on in the operations room and heaven help any warrant or junior officer who changed the channel.

[Grown2Hate]

31. Kornacki just explained that more clearly. They count the

Military and ex-pat as they go. There is a POTENTIAL for 8K more (because that's still pending behind returned), but the deadline is today. Whatever comes in today will be counted. But there's not a stack currently somewhere waiting to be counted.

[artemisia1]

35. Thanks. /nt

[Blasphemer]

33. I agree. People keep citing polls showing decreased military support but we all know how much....

polls can be counted on. I expect the military ballots to break heavily for Trump. The overseas ballots may counter them, but it will be close.

[octoberlib]

7. Woot!

[malaise]

8. Amazing that it looks like Biden will have even more

African-American male votes than Obama

[ailsagirl]

9. Just heard it on MSNBC

"Biden has turned Georgia blue"

[honest.abe]

12. Yeah I heard that too. Sounded so wonderful.

[ailsagirl]

17. .....

[Karma13612]

13. Woo hoo it's Blue!!! 👍👍👍💙💙 nt

[ailsagirl]

20. Just fantastic!!

I'm too excited to try to sleep!!

[Karma13612]

57. Gosh, I certainly hope we get closer tonight.

I am a bit more apprehensive about the provisional ballots in PA now.
Steve Karnacki was explaining about these a short time ago.
The ballots apparently don’t automatically break for Biden so it causes me much concern!!

But, we need to keep the faith.

[bdamomma]

49. So did

MSNBC called the state of Georgia for Joe, or are they still waiting for those military votes?

[ailsagirl]

52. Not sure about that... anyone??

[BigmanPigman]

11. I hope the Dems use the same approach that got us a blue wave in 2018

Maybe healthcare and Covid should be focused on since between now and Jan 5th the virus will grow and be more serious.

[bdamomma]

50. Joe will hit it the ground

running, but with Mitch there he will be a pot hole.

What the hell is wrong with Kentuckians, also South Carolina for putting Lindsey in there, dark money

[BigmanPigman]

56. Nunes also go reelected. Mitch and Graham should have been buried. I don't bet their constituents.

[brush]

15. The WH staff better disappear any sharp objects as trump...

has to be going crazy right about now. And also the nuclear football as we all know he's watching.

[ailsagirl]

22. It would have been nice had he won TX and FL

BUT he's winning without them!!!

[OnDoutside]

27. Yes it would but i hope he just gets over the line today !

[Fyrefox]

36. More amazing than fiction!

Hasn't this election been a roller coaster ride? You couldn't make this stuff up!

[smirkymonkey]

37. K&R

[Jon King]

39. Military ballots in GA would probaly skew Biden

Any military ballots that arrive before the dead line today would help Biden in all likelihood. The most recent military poll taken showed 41% Biden, 37% Trump, the rest undecided or 3rd party. And in GA I would guess that number is worse for Trump. So no 1000s of Trump military votes are going to arrive in today's mail to save the loser from defeat. Bye DON!!

[uponit7771]

41. First dem candidate from the north to win GA in over 100 years IINM, Clinton & Carter from the south

[liberal N proud]

42. The spread needs to be enough to bridge the recount window

I fear things will get ugly in a recount

[uponit7771]

53. Kornacki said it might be 10,000 more votes open even half of that going towards Biden takes us out

... of recount IINM

[TigressDem]

43. Well, PURPLE if not BLUE at any rate.

Progress is progress.

[peacebuzzard]

46. Biden will have military support.

The proud boys in the military are outnumbered.
