US Politics - Poll Position

What's happening In Georgia? I was looking at this Fox website to try to work out the absolute numbers of votes left to count to work out if Biden could overtake Trump, when it changed to show the result for every county as final, even though it still says 98% of votes counted not 100%. When I was first looking it was showing only De Kalb as still counting but now it says 100% counted in De Kalb.

I don't know if this news hasn't been issued on a major outlet yet or if this site is incorrect or I am misinterpreting it.

Also can't work out where the 2% comes from if every county is 100% counted.

It is a little odd.

Fox was way premature to call Arizona to Trump.

Maybe they’re a little premature here;https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-georgia.html?action=click&module=ELEX_results&pgtype=Interactive&region=FooterNavigation

Someone is scraping battleground data from the NYT and it's really useful to seeing the state of things and the direction things are moving. Pennsylvania is looking very good. Georgia is tight. Arizona is tight. Nevada makes me feel a bit queasy, but I've gotten the sense that Ralston is also now more uncertain than he was because of the unusual dynamics of this race.

Nevada’s counting mail in ballots mostly from cities today right?

Yes. Actually, checked Ralston' last tweets and he said that while they may get counts in from rurals first, there's a lot more urban votes by comparison. So he seems to be a bit more certain than he was when I went to bed.

Reading this makes it appear Biden should take Georgia, and is on the track to lose Arizona albeit narrowly.

And on track to take Pennsylvania.

there is just something wrong with that fox news live map i was asking about. it shows every county as 100% in. But for Fulton county for example the NYT has the exact same numbers of votes listed but lists it as only 96% of the vote.

But PA, along with WI and MI, would be perfectly enough, wouldn't it?

Yep. And the way things are tracking, PA looks like it may end up +2 for Biden.

ETA: Fox and county reporting -- as far as I can tell, they may be pulling from the Georgia election site which says everything is 100% reported now. I'm not strictly sure that's true, but it sounds that while they may be at 100% of precincts reported in, they have not yet released the last batch of results. I think NYT is attempting to estimate what percent has been reported in ahead of the last tranche of vote results being released.

Ah that makes sense. 

Judgement time in a couple hours.

It's been amusing to see on the Guardian website the margin between Trump and Biden go down, but the number of votes left to count stay about the same. Even a sane and rational Republican would give that a sideways look and think there might be something dodgy going on there.

From before the election Trump has been priming the electorate to not believe any change in result that comes in after election night. The well of a Biden victory has been well and truly poisoned to the extent that it is not only impossible for those waters to be used to heal any division, but the toxicity of it may only make it worse.

The first paragraph has stuck to my memory, so out of curiosity, what was this about?

What do you think going on with Arizona?

The margins have have shrunk for Biden but how much of the vote actually remains for him?

Ok, this is probably just packing up whatever stuff they had for a victory party, but it sure is suggestive of 45 making a quick escape out of the country and taking the silverware.

I'd kill for a series finale where he's in a white SUV being chased by helicopters like OJ.

Surely Trump's attempted getaway should be in a golf cart?

Calling Biden a centrist neoliberal is a bit harsh. He predates neoliberalism, after all. He's not a socialist, but he's a decent approximation of a mainstream Democrat before the Clinton era (largely because he was one).

As for Latinos - it's additionally interesting because the conventional wisdom is that Latino voters tend to be more likely to be Economically Left and Socially Right.

 

Political leopards change their spots, believe me. The guys my dad went into politics with are not what they once were. Young social democrat idealists turned into neoliberal hacks criticising the very things they once championed. If my dad had remained a political animal he may well have been finance minister instead of Roger Douglas, or at least associate finance minister, and he quite probably would have been the MP for Mangere instead of Lange. But he got out and so avoided the corruption of his soul.

At one point the Guardian website had votes still to count at about 850K for PA, and the margin at someting over 200K. The a little while later the votes to count was still at 850K but the margin was down to 195ish K
