Not disagreeing, but I'd be curious how you arrive at that.

The NY Times estimates 50% of the votes are in. So that would mean they expect 7 million votes.

That implies 1.3 million votes remaining outside the mail ballots + 2.2 million mail ballots = 7 million votes.

Right now Biden is down 500,000 votes.

Early estimates on the early mailin vote was that 12% of Blue_true Nov 2020 #18

That would give Biden about a 200,000 vote lead if he gets 70% of that. nt Quixote1818 Nov 2020 #15
