8. But Trump would have to win those by such a large margin that just isn't tenable

I think it'll be called after the next batch. MSNBC has been laying the groundwork for that.

I think we are close to a declared winner and then it's up to Trump to decide if he wants to resist and look like a fool or if he wants to do the decent thing and concede.

Trump can frame his concession speech as a victory speech about his unlikely victory in 2016, blag, blah, blah.

Did they wait on Provisionals to call any other State? No. They will not change the result. PubliusEnigma Nov 2020 #2

See this for more enlightenment on skew Tommymac Nov 2020 #11

There are also 89k outstanding mail ballots... tarheelsunc Nov 2020 #4

ah, yes, excellent point. Even if trump won 60/40 splits, Biden is getting 70/30 or 80/20 on mail-in Roland99 Nov 2020 #10

And I assume the provisionals counted so far are from smaller redder counties. tarheelsunc Nov 2020 #12

I don't know how these provisionals are breaking standingtall Nov 2020 #5

At some point the mail ins are going to make the provisional irrelevant. onecaliberal Nov 2020 #9

Kornacki - We're not used to seeing this many provisional. How big is a lead for a candidate... Roland99 Nov 2020 #13
