[My Pet Orangutan]

This morning Biden was leading by 12,813 votes in AZ.
Trump needed 66% of the 40,565 remaining ballots.
After counting another 17,866, votes,
Trump needs 76.3% of the 22,456 remaining ballots.
That's the ball game.

Biden leads with 1,663,447 votes (49.4%), Trump trails with 1,651,812 votes (49.1%).

16. And Trump need Arizona and Georgia....he is done.

He won't get Georgia either even it they recount...no recount has ever changed a vote by thousands of ballots.

4. Are the 22,000 in red or blue areas?

[Johnny2X2X]

6. 3/4 in Pima which is blue

This is over.

8. Thank you!!! Nt

[triron]

9. 10K in Pima.

[mr_lebowski]

10. 10,000 of those 22K (think its 28K tho) are provisional ballots from Pima county where Tucson is ...

Other than a couple of the heavily Native counties, it's the most Democratic part of the state.

It's OVER.

11. 18,000 are provisional ballots

I'm not sure how AZ does provisional ballots

In TX a provisional ballot usually means it isn't counted, because the voter is probably not registered within the county or not registered etc, but I've learned in PA if you did not receive your mail ballot, you must vote provisional. In TX, we cancel the mail ballot and you vote in person, so a provisional is not issued

13. In AZ, provisional ballot could be someone who didn't present an ID.

They must then show up with an ID within five days of the election.

5. As I'm sure we all remember, with AZ and NV ... WE DON'T NEED PA!!!

I mean, of course we have it already ... but if those repuke state senate fucks wanna play games in that state, fuck 'em. Don't need 'em.

7. You betcha !

[David__77]

12. What's crazy is...

with GA and AZ (and NV, of course), MI and PA aren't needed. Not that MI is at all close!

[mr_lebowski]

14. Yup cause GA and MI are both 16. Can swap 'em out and still have 270.

These GOP fuckheads have GOT to consider this over at this point, how stupid are they? They think they're going overturn elections in 3 states, basically?

AZ is has GOT to be the nail that puts and end to this foolishness.

I, and the ghost of McCain, will be very happy for it to go down like that. First time in my life my POTUS vote mattered for something.

[David__77]

17. I suspect that, together, GA and PA, will make it really hard for them.

They can't make a it a matter of "Detroit" and "Philadelphia" so-called "corruption." Rather, they would need to turn inward on their own party. I think plenty of your regular Trump voters are hoping for a military coup or who knows what.

15. Well, I read this about PA legislators..

35. But in PA, the legislature does NOT pick the electors (that is in the state Constitution)

18. So, can we hope everything gets counted by Friday...?

At this point, we not only need states called, we need those results certified, so that the electors can be appointed. Every day that doesn’t happen is one more day to tempt Republican legislatures to overrule the will of their voters.
