@Roussette That is true, anything could happen and I wouldn't be surprised..

Arizona's Maricopa County will release two batches of poll results tonight
Arizona's Maricopa County, the most populous county that includes Phoenix, will release two batches of voting results Wednesday night, according to Megan Gilbertson from the Maricopa County Elections Department.

Here's when they numbers will be released:
The first batch will come at 9 p.m ET / 7 p.m. MT (2am UK time)
The second will come at 12:30 a.m. ET / 10:30 p.m. MT (5.30am UK time)

So we should start to get a good idea if this has definitely gone for Biden by the time the UK wakes up
(CNN haven't called it yet - but Associated Press have for some time).

If it goes Blue that means just one more state needed...

boatyardblues · 04/11/2020 22:02

Which state have Fox called to get Biden to 264?

PeterPanNeverLands · 04/11/2020 22:03

Has Arizona been called then?

PeterPanNeverLands · 04/11/2020 22:03

Sorry cross over there

MrsMigginsMate · 04/11/2020 22:04

Its not even over at 270 though is it? I feel like we can't even breathe a sigh of relief then because of all these legal threats Trump is making. I don't understand how it all works but it feels like a win isn't really a win until the other side backs down and accepts it. What a bizarre system?!

Roussette · 04/11/2020 22:05

Trump has posted some really unhinged tweets. he is fighting tooth and nail

Trump: "This is an embarrassment"

No Donald, YOU are!

I suspect Fox, like AP has called Arizona for Biden.

CNN have just said the following:

Arizona still has more than 600,000 ballots remaining to be counted, officials tell CNN.

Between 615,000 and 635,000 ballots, possibly more, remain to be counted in Arizona, according to the officials.

Biden currently leads Trump by about 93,000 votes statewide, 51.% to 47.6%, according to CNN’s latest count. According to informal estimates, Trump would need to win approximately 58% of the outstanding vote to overcome Biden’s lead.

Roughly two-thirds of the remaining votes to be counted come from Maricopa County, home of Phoenix, which Trump won four years ago 49% to 46% over Hillary Clinton, but where Biden currently holds a lead of about 99,000 votes.

Maricopa elections officials say they have between 428,000 and 446,000 ballots still to count. This includes 248,000 mail ballots that were returned in the last three days before the election; between 160,000 and 180,000 mail ballots returned on Election Day; and 18,000 provisional ballots, according to the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office. County officials said they expect to release updated count numbers around 9 p.m. ET. But they have not said when final results will be released.

The next biggest share of votes come from blue-leaning Pima County, home of Tucson, which has just under 91,000 ballots left to count.

Of Arizona’s 13 other counties, five have not posted information about their number of remaining votes to count. Seven of the remaining eight were counties that Trump won over Clinton in 2016; but, all told, they account for about 12% of the known remaining ballots to be counted.

I think the short hand for what CNN are saying is Trump is going to struggle to win Arizona.

If he loses Arizona, then he has to win EVERY state left...

Isn't it mathematically impossible for Trump to win now?

Flavabobble · 04/11/2020 22:09

Nothing new there then.

Why have Nevada put their count on hold ‘til tomorrow? They must’ve stopped at lunchtime.

The 'But Trump' cavet stands until January tbh...
NotDavidTennant · 04/11/2020 22:11

It's possible we may not know the final result for absolute certain until tomorrow evening or even Friday, as Nevada are not due to start counting again until 9am tomorrow (5pm UK time).

Although that result would become irrelevant if Biden managed to win Pennsylvania or Georgia in the meantime.

TeddyDidIt · 04/11/2020 22:11

I'm really worried about Trump's tweets getting his supporters riled up enough to cause some damage. Gun sales have gone up in recent weeks

SabrinaThwaite · 04/11/2020 22:11

He MUST get every state but one (must INCLUDE Pennsylviania) to now win.

That’s not right.

Michigan has been called for Biden, so that puts him on 253.

Arizona and Nevada would give Biden the 17 required.

Leaving Pennsylvania (20), Georgia (16) and North Carolina (15).

RedToothBrush · 04/11/2020 22:11

He CAN win.

But its growing increasingly difficult. Especially if Arizona goes blue like some have already called.

Cloudesley · 04/11/2020 22:11

I won't be happy til I see Trump in prison TBH

Alaska. Not yet called but a pretty certain red. 3 votes.
SabrinaThwaite · 04/11/2020 22:14

That’s taken into account.

Biden wins on Arizona and Nevada.

Flavabobble · 04/11/2020 22:15

Depends what happens in Arizona & Nevada. If Biden holds his lead he has 270.

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 04/11/2020 22:15

Hello all, if you scroll down this to 21.04 you’ll see a list of % and number of votes still to be counted. Makes it easy to see!

Isn't it mathematically impossible for Trump to win now? - no, it isn’t, but it’s unlikely.

Nate Cohn

Meanwhile, Trump's lead in Georgia is down to just 1.4 points with a lot of Democratic vote still out. Will be razor thin here--and it seems on track to end up in recount territory, either way

RedToothBrush · 04/11/2020 22:17

Sabrina - sorry I think you are getting confused - that what TRUMP must get. Not Biden.

gchali · 04/11/2020 22:17

This is so tense!! When will we know the result of Nevada? What's taking so long?
