CNN live reporting is good.

Trump's got that heavy sniffing thing going on again

@lovelemoncurd

I'm looking forward to Trump unraveling further.

But how much damage will he do in the unravelling?

Hello everyone praying for America
🙏

@KungFuWeetabix

Wisconsin 5% 169,000 7,172 Biden
Georgia 6% 301,000 102,823 Trump
North Carolina 6% 348,000 76,712 Trump
Michigan 13% 699,000 66,387 Trump
Nevada 33% 589,000 7,647 Biden
Pennsylvania 36% 2,992,000 675,012 Trump
Alaska

Forgive the copy and paste. Biden is currently 25 ahead in the EC. These states are still all winnable for Trump and Biden. Even if Trump takes, Penn, NC and Akaska, Biden can win by taking the others.
Trump would need a near clean sweep of these to win the election. From what we know about postal votes, that seems unlikely.

This really could take days unless there are some shock wins or losses. 100M votes in advance take a lot of counting.

I can't believe Susan Collins R, Maine, has got through, thought she was a goner

Nevada has stopped counting and will resume 9am, 5pm GMT.

So, does this all mean that Biden is the likely winner here?

Too close to call as I understand it.

So, does this all mean that Biden is the likely winner here?

It's not over till the orange oompah loompah peacefully leaves the Oval Office but it's looking hopeful.

If Biden wins one more state than he needs to, it won't be in Trump's interest, he is full of shite but if Biden pulls out a convincing win I reckon he will fold and it'll all be ok.

I should get a few more hours sleep now then?

Rousette - despite the talk of the postal ballots favouring Biden, a result like Collins in Maine really has me spooked (even although Dems have won Maine).

But it makes me wonder what the electorate is thinking?

Still neck and neck. So don't despair.

Said this on the other thread but you can download the CNN app for free and watch their live coverage. I've done that on my phone. Better detail than anything on the Guardian or BBC.

Time to sleep til it gets exciting again tonight. Let's hope we see the orange disaster conceding overnight!

This is fascinating!! Although both candidates are lunatics. I really feel for ordinary Americans.

anon - you are joking?! he will have to be thrown out.

Oh my, is this pointing to us needing to stay up tonight as well?!

Yes maggie I was just so surprised at that, I thought she was toast for her flip flopping, and/or saying one thing and doing another.

Green Bay, Wisconsin... just read this
Green Bay's absentee ballot results are being delayed because one of the vote counting machines ran out of ink and an elections official had to return to City Hall to get some more

@IheartJKR

The US would rather have Trump than the possibility of a woman

Oh god this is so true.

He’s never going to concede😂 they’ll have to carry him out.

You may need to stay up the next few nights.

Nah I honestly think he'll concede if Biden wins one more state than necessary to get over the line. Call me a dewy eyed optimist 😂 we'll see tonight I hope!

I heard the same from american relatives for the 2016 election: anyone but a woman

I don't think it's a woman thing, it's a democrat woman thing. Not sufficiently deferential, babied up, cookie baking or religious.
