Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boochvar said election officials hope to have the “overwhelming majority” of the state’s outstanding absentee ballots counted by Friday.

“We’re coming into the homestretch,” Boochvar said at a news briefing Thursday evening, adding that the plan is to count into the night.

Pennsylvania, with 20 electoral votes in play in the race for president, had 326,248 outstanding absentee ballots still to count as of 6 p.m. EST.

President Donald Trump holds a 78,314-vote lead over Democratic challenger Joe Biden. But Biden has made up significant ground – and is expected to continue to so – as mail-in ballots that skew Democratic are tallied across the state, including from two Democratic strongholds, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

1. Too gd close for comfort.

Fuck you, approximately 50%.of my fellow Pennsylvanians. You support a juvenile delinquent for prez.

3. They like "appearance" rather than "substance"

meaning they are as superficial as he is.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

4. Especially as they believe he gives the "appearance" of "strength."

How pathetic they believe belligerent ignorance appears strong. That doing something to protect the community, like wearing a mask appears weak.

I hate to think of the terrible relationships these Trumpers have considering they think the Sociopath-in-Chief is a not just a great guy, but the greatest!

5. THAT is the whole gist of it

THEY want to BE "Bif" and that is who their dear leader acts like (nothing is "their fault" ) -

7. Yet, in mass media the Biffs are normalized. Archie Bunker was

a well-loved character. Made people who acted like him feel better about themselves. SNL brings Palin on to say, "Hey, sure we mock her a little, but look, we like her!"

Btw, did you know this or was using Biff to illustrate RW jerks just a coincidence?:

8. I loved Back to the Future

(me and Michael J. Fox are about 6 months apart in age) and that first installment really showed the "bully" - not just when young, but even well into adulthood. I have read articles about the "bullies" and "cliques" among women too in some active retirement communities. That film really underscored how people don't change that much.

And LOL! Didn't realize that connection! I haven't seen the 2nd one in a long time and I don't think I ever got around to seeing the 3rd one (watched the first one many times though).

Of course if I remember my "'80s" correctly as a young adult, it was the "preppy" period and a "Bif" was often the "rich" preppy guy.

9. I loved BttF, also!

Haven't seen the sequels.

Yep, those hard core preppies were the Young Republicans in our HS. I was too young for it, but would have been a hippie if that had still been a thing!

10. This was the bible of understanding them

I remember buying that book because it was just OTT hilarious.

2. I was looking at the last Philly update and they seem to still have 70K - 80K mail-ins left to do

(as of 6:55 pm EST update)

Link to their counts (updated about every 4 hours) - https://results.philadelphiavotes.com/ResultsSW.aspx?type=FED&map=CTY

6. 90% counted, 10% remaining..

... Joe is about 53K behind, 0.8%.

11. Now Biden down by 42,200 in PA.

Cnn says if he can continue with the same percentages he will win by 40,000-50,000 votes. I am sure that will call for a recount. Biden has a good shot at Georgia and should take Nevada. Those 2 states give him the win.
