Small town democracy.

ABC just retracted their call for Arizona and put it back into toss/up.

[Klaus]

If this ends up 270:268, how likely would it be that one or a few faithless electors would appear?

American elections are like NASCAR (the alternative to motor racing) - the rules are tailored to guarantee the maximum amount of uncertainty so that it isn't until right at the end that some guy who doesn't appear to be quite all there is declared the ultimate victor.

Supposedly there are 500K ballots from a solid Trump area coming in.

Are they in the back of Giuliani's SUV by any chance?

My understanding is they want PA to stop counting until the question of non-postmarked ballots and new ballot arrivals is resolved. Arizona is not adding new ballots, just still counting those they already received.

@LuFins-Dad Is that an issue that they've been dealing with? Non-postmarked ballots? How do they get to their destination without a postmark?

Right - so someone drives by and picks up the ballots after 8PM. What's the allegation here?

Wisconsin Math by Kimberly Strassel:

2. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is claiming a 71% state turnout. I'm not sure where it gets this, but that would make more sense, given even populous Milwaukee didn't exceed 83% turnout, and Dane lower. (Do math on what rest of state wud need to bump up state avg to 89)

3. True, Wisconsin has same day voter registration. But to be at 71%, WI would have yesterday needed 900k same-day registrations. ( If I'm doing my math wrong--please tell me. 3,288,771 divided by 4,588,771 equals 71% . 4,588,771 minus 3,684,726 =900k)

4. Is that possible/conceivable? That would be akin to increasing WI's registered voting population by up to 30%--in one day. It would also suggest that if those same-day registrations hadn't happened, WI would have had a ridiculously LOW turnout.

5. I suppose it is possible WI's turnout was higher than 71% (again, not sure where MJS gets that). But that would be wild, given the state's own history and what we saw elsewhere yesterday. An even an 80% turnout would still require HUGE same-day registration.

6. Surely a record/tally of those same-day registrations must exist. It would therefore seem a straightforward proposition to set the numbers/record straight?
   Again, explain if I'm missing something.

Fox calls Michigan for Biden...

[Copper]

They are building up to the prime time reveal.

The max audience should be around 8:30 EST.

I assume they'll take away Arizona before they give him Nevada.

So has ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Decision Desk, Reuters, and the NYT.

Oh, and the Trump Campaign, with their lawsuit.

(too lazy to look)

If Trump wins PA and AZ, while losing MI, WI what happens?

(assuming he holds GA and NC)
