Nate Silver is getting a little belligerent on Twitter

[Larry]

Ok, I don't understand this... in Virginia, it's Trump 53%, Biden 45% but it calls it for Biden....

Ok, I get VA now. They didn’t start with their absentee votes, they reported today’s results. They are about to dump the absentee votes now.

If Trump pulls this out, a lot of pollsters, including Nate, are going to look like idiots.
