I understand the caution but seems to me there is plenty of data to call all the remaining 4 closely watched states for Joe Biden.
634-5789
(4,705 posts)Biden holds a substantial lead, +78000. There's 125000 left to count, so since 100% of those votes are coming from 2 blue counties, let's call this one for the next President , and keep counting anyway.

(933 posts)Word yesterday was NBV to call PA for Biden when the lead moves past about 34,000 votes.

(18,690 posts)30,000 or 35,000, and Biden is making rapid progress.
Other outlets could call PA before that. To win PA, Trump would have to get 66% of the reported 83,589 remaining ballots to be counted.
I'm predicting they call PA today, and hopefully NV.

(14,180 posts)Im sick and tired of Trumps mental illness controlling even this narrative.
He will complain and run to the courts no matter what. It makes absolutely no sense to hold the rest of us hostage when its clear what will happen. (And. I confess, the tinfoil hat in me sometimes thinks some kind of November surprise may be in the works, even though I know better. But the longer this goes on, the more uncertainty there is on everyones part. And that is not healthy, either.)
CALL IT. Meanwhile, Im going to clean out the cache of shows on my DVR. Have a good one, all!
