Also huge: In 2000, it was all FL, which had been called for Bush. Their case was easy. Now the case is "Stop the count in PA, GA, NC (where we're winning), but find more votes in MI, AZ, NV (where we're not)."

In 2000, one of Bush's greatest advantages was the *perception* that he had won, thanks to a questionable Florida call (reversing an earlier questionable call for Gore). This time the situation is reversed, with Biden the presumptive winner. Very big difference.
