@gchali

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

Not till tomorrow now.

Nevada stopped counting hours ago, not due to start again until tomorrow

More Nate Cohn

Trump's lead is down to 5 points in Pennsylvania. I have no idea how many more votes they'll count there before nightfall, but Trump's margin is already more than cut in half so far today.

@RedToothBrush

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

Apologies - misread that completely.

We are driving out of the city now to stay in a remote cabin and we have to drive through Trumpland to get there and frankly it's scary cause there's so much aggressive driving with monster trucks. We should be out of it in a hour or so but ugh. Don't remember this AT ALL the last time we drove this route.

Don's just crazy tweeting now 'claiming' all sorts of states! Twitter are hot on his heels though and have marked one as possibly untrue and deleted the other for misinformation.

He's whipping himself into a frenzy, exactly as we all thought he would.

Yes @RedToothBrush you're right, it looks like Fox have called Arizona for Biden.

Back in Corona-landFauci (

@Roussette we have people watching the counts in UK elections also.

In the UK they are local members of the political parties with candidates on the ballot - they are allowed to watch the boxes been opened and the votes being laid flat.

They quite often have their own sheets of paper to mark off each time their candidate gets a cross on ballot paper.

In the UK watchers need to be on the official list of people who can attend the count location- not members of the public.

They are not allowed to touch the boxes or ballots - doesn't stop them trying to.

I have counted local elections/general elections/referendum etc.

Posted too soon! Just going to say I saw this and was wow!

^I don't know if people realize how incredible a scholar Anthony Fauci is. He has an H-index of 221 (in medicine, >50 or above is highly accomplished, >100 is extraordinary, and >200 is stratospheric, achieved by

AP called Az ages ago. Am I right in saying that once Fox call it, that's the republican opinion?

North Carolina and Georgia will call before Nevada.

Tweet from earlier today:
From Matt Viser (Washington post) on Twitter:
Biden campaign thinking:
- They believe they’ve won Wisc, expect it to be called this morning
- Mich vote by mail lead is insurmountable and will be called midday
- Philly vote by mail will come in tonight or tomorrow
- GA result midday or early afternoon
- NV called tomorrow

Wisc & Mich have run about 3 or 4 hours later than they were expecting.

GA has 6% of votes left to count. NC is down to 5%.
So probably now looking at this evening (US) or early hours (UK) for both of them.

Nevada is releasing more results later tonight due to interest

Comparing Biden's speech, which was presidential in tone "my fellow Americans", with Giuliani's speech....

I guess at least we could see both of Giuliani's hands...

“High interest”... and then some!

JUST IN: Instead of delaying releasing results until tomorrow, Nevada officials will release more results later today due to the high interest in how Nevada voted.

AP called arizona for Biden about 10 hours ago

Trump is Tweet-calling Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina. And Michigan.

I posted on that thread, im :O that anyone has any sympathy at all for him tbh

The idea of sympathy for that man is hysterically funny.

So if it’s now fair game to call dibs on places you have no right to, I call dibs on Mar-a-lago and the Trumps can get tae fuck.

But only 90% are voting YABU. One in ten respondents agree.

Have the republicans wrapped up the senate?

Is Trump seriously 'claiming' states on Twitter? Like a toddler who snatches a toy and runs off screaming "mine"!!!
