            Interesting graphs showing how the margin has changed over time, for the 5 remaining states.

              Now Pennsylvania

              If he takes all the outstanding states it’s over 306 electoral votes.

              I guessed 330. Damn.

                    By the way, Biden took the lead in PA without counting any votes that arrived post-November 3rd. Those have been segregated and not yet counted.

                      I forget which entity's calling of the winner makes it official.

                      From VOANews: "Many people assume the winner of the U.S. presidential contest is determined once the media calls the race and the losing candidate delivers a concession speech. But the truth is that formally declaring a presidential winner is a months-long process that won’t be completed until January.

                      "That process essentially involves Americans voting for electors, the electors voting for the president, and then Congress declaring the winner.

                      "There's Election Day, where those electors are elected; there's the date in December where the electors meet and then vote for president; and then there's the date in January where the Congress certifies that election.”

                      Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                        I do think everybody here knows that.

                        But for all practical purposes....

                            You mean gerrymandering post census?

                            Or do you think they'll try to select rival electors?

                              I think in terms of actual shenanigans it's far less likely given that Biden's victory is overdetermined.

                                  Biden won a couple of days ago. Let’s start talking about his promises and what his first year looks like.

                                  The last two days are fake drama. Let’s look forward.

                                    Sorry buddy, you don't get to turn the page on our gloating that easily.

                                    We get at least until Trump concedes. Then we'll return to our normal levels of obnoxiousness.

                                      You are gloating? Pyrrhic victory at best. Many people believe this is the ideal but formerly impossible outcome.

                                      But you are right, gloat while you can.

                                        Native tribal lands vs voting in Arizona

                                        Native vote is clearly Biden
