Good luck waking up, Red! It was tough this morning here. Seconding your good wishes for calm across the Atlantic.

Trump's speech reminded me of time spent with dementia sufferers, round and round in circles, embellished a little each time. Given his position, I wonder whether the accusations he was hurling around would meet the legal test for defamation. As a pp said, not unexpected but still shocking.

Anyone know when Georgia will be called?

Just seen this a minute ago.

Almost all of the outstanding ballots in Georgia —18,636 — are absentee ballots, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office told CNN earlier Thursday.

According to his office, here’s where most of the outstanding ballots across Georgia are coming from:

Clayton County: 5,726 (The early ballots lean heavily to Joe Biden.)
Cobb County: 700 (The early ballots lean to Biden. It's an Atlanta suburb that Hillary Clinton won by a small margin in 2016.)
Floyd County: 444 (The early ballots lean heavily to President Trump.)
Forsyth County: 4,713 (The early ballots lean heavily to Trump.)
Gwinnett County: 4,800 (The early ballots lean heavily to Biden.)
Laurens County: 1,797 (The early ballots lean to Trump.)
Taylor County: 456 (The early ballots lean to Trump.)

Thats a mixed bag might make it harder for Biden tbh.

Last batch from Georgia was 7.21pm local time and the two batches before were about an hour prior for each.

So it seems like it should be due anytime.

Excellent@RedToothBrush thank you. I'm going to stay up until it's called

Asked earlier why Trump was gaining in Arizona and whether postal votes favouring Biden didn’t apply there - not sure if anyone commented but CNN just explained that historically Arizona Reps like to vote by post. So Arizona all to play for it seems.

New batch of results expected 0200 UK time.

Dont blame me if its 5am or later!!!

I won't! I didn't stay up the last two nights so I reckon I can hack it 😁

Eeeek, Trump closing in on Biden in Maricopa, AZ

Fewer that 2.5K votes between them now in Georgia. 99% counted.

Trump closing down on Biden in Arizona

Just updated. Looks like they are still counting.

Trump now leading by just 2,497 votes

Now really bed. Looks like they will be some time yet.

I think its possibly slipping from Biden from that too.

God what if he wins after all this?!

Biden ahead of Trump in the popular vote by almost 4 million. That's astonishing.

@showmethegin don't tempt fate! It's a scary thought but I don't think he will. They're just trying to be objective in cnn I reckon

Still 16K to be counted in Georgia. C'mon!

Simon Pegg on Twitter:

It's getting to the point where America will have to invade America to overthrow a dictator and secure the oil.

And of that 16k, Biden could easily get 10k!

Taniel @taniel
Trump won the latest batch of ballots (roughly 73K votes) from Maricopa by about 14%.

Trump needs to be winning what is left in Maricopa County by significantly more than 14%.

The main caveat is if there are more ballots left there than what the county reported. (That's been the case in some counties today.)

By all accounts this batch for Trump is more favourable to him that subsequent ones are anticipated to be.

Look up @Djquinlin for the details.

Swimming - do you know what Biden’s percentage is for the postal votes in Georgia?

^ thats arizona.

Dh is still playing with spreadsheets ffs.

@SwimmingOnEggshells

And of that 16k, Biden could easily get 10k!

Praying to all things good and holy that this happens! The trajectory looks good for Biden. If the military votes are around the 5K mark as PP said (and assuming they are all Trump voters), then 10K will give him a comfortable cushion.

OK, Clayton County in Georgia just gave Biden 86% of their vote! C'mon!!!!

@maggiethecat 80% according to CNN. Even in the red counties in GA the votes coming know which are mail-in are mostly Biden

Wooohoo Clayton!

Bear in mind that although the deadline for Georgia’s military absentee votes is tomorrow, many of them may already be in and counted.
