The 6 million uncounted votes are probably mostly mail ballots, which Joe might win three to one. Add 3 million to his lead and his percentage gets close to 5%. A certain percentage of mail ballots are rejected for technical errors, some arrived late because of slow mail delivery or because people did not know the mail in deadlines. So on a national level the polls were no worse than normal. Off two or three percent. Given that this is a goofy covid year that’s ok.

Many of the state polls, and polls for congress, were the ones which were way off.

And the national average is close but favors you. Why is it always the polls off against us ? Russia got into many states voters rolls in 2016 I don't think they jyst gave up this year. Nothing to see here.

made it clear he wanted everyone to use voting machines and not postal ballots. He never investigated or took action against Russian hacking. Now, the results are very suspect. I don't accept that the opinion polls got it wrong. I don't accept that Trump is so popular he got what looks like will be an extra 10 million votes.
