    A US election might be important for some but FFS, coverage should not include sacrificing Bargain Hunt

    The late counts will generally be Biden favourable and he has a few routes to victory. He's all but won Wisconsin and looks likely to win Nevada and Michigan. If he wins those then it doesn't matter about Pennsylvania and Georgia.

    Michigan is key, but he's behind after 90% of votes counted albeit by 0.3%

    From what I understand, the urban areas and the postal votes will be the last ones to be counted, and they are likely to lean heavily towards Biden.

    There's various reports, although the numbers are being challenged, that IF the remaining PA votes to count split like the counted ones have, that PA goes blue. Ever, ever so slightly.

    Wisconsin is currently blue with 5% to count. Georgia and NC likely to go red. Leaving Michigan as a complete toss up from what I've seen and the gap in Nevada closing the more they count (but likely to be blue).

    Basically everything could be on PA.

    If my maths are correct, then if Wisconsin and Nevada both go to Biden, he only needs one of Pennsylvania and Michigan. Looking at the current trend, Biden will take Michigan by a whisker, which would be game over no matter what happens in PA. However, Nevada have said that they won't declare until tomorrow morning, which is more like lunchtime in Europe.

    Biden now 80% favourite in the US spread betting to support that.

    Of course if/when Biden wins we will have to deal with all the fraud crap Trump is going to throw.

    If he wins Nevada, Winconsin and Michigan he ends up on 270 I believe. Trump will never let it go if it ends on such a small margin.

    I'll feel happier the sooner Biden gets his nose in front in one more state.

    US election seems to be a race to the bottom. Usually you would expect an incumbent President to win comfortably. However Trumps’s reign as been such that had the Democrats fielded a half decent candidate then they would already have it in the bag.
    Enter Joe Biden......

    The votes they are counting now are mainly postal votes, which tend to favour the Democrats. It's turned Wisconsin on its head and significantly narrowed the gap in Michigan since I last looked.

    IF you look at the areas left to count in Georgia, that could well still be very close.

    Tucker Carlson hits the nail on the head. Trump is loud and brash but his voters tend to be quiet and shy. It's supposedly the land of the free but for some reason Trump fans don't feel they can admit it so stay quiet and then polls give the wrong impression. We had it over here with Brexit and our own election. USA got it wrong last time and this time expected a Biden landslide.

    I think it was naive to expect any sort of landslide. Biden ran on not being Clinton or Trump with little positive to say. I thought Biden would win and still do but it will solve nothing just one neoliberal replacing another.

    Trump is a Neo-Fascist, Biden is a Neo-Liberal.

    The Fascists needs taking out first, before the liberals can be tackled.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...iden-who-won-presidential-republican-democrat looking at the counties in each state left to report, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan are all heading to Biden and that's enough.

    I'm tempted to put an irresponsible amount of money on Biden at this point at 4/11, as I just don't see how he loses even if you take it that Georgia (very likely) and Pennsylvania (less likely) are both red

    whichever way you cut it, even if Biden does creep in, it's been a terrible performance. after the damage trump has done, the economic slide, covid, BLM, foreign policy, international treaties scrapped, increase in college voters, decrease in senior voters. and they're still towing like f.cuk. had covid not happened, trump would have probably walked it.
