I think we have reached the point where the outcome is all but certain, despite what a few worry warts are saying. So what are the odds at least one network calls the election today?

(4,845 posts)If it goes to Biden, it's pretty much done. And if today's batch in NV goes heavily toward Biden, we could see NV called too. Then I think Biden will definitely have enough.

I think Joe will be giving the announcement we have all been waiting for later this afternoon or this evening.

(3,245 posts)by today, all the states will have counted all except a splattering of a combination of military, provisional, late but valid votes. Those combined would not change the margins currently held by a candidate and at that point, the certainty of the winner would be known.

(675 posts)I think there is just so much rabble-rousing going on with Trump and his supporters that networks don't want to make anymore moves until the results are 100% certain that Biden won and Trump lost. If this was a normal election with an adult Republican who can handle electoral defeat in a mature manner, Arizona would have been called by all of the networks on election night.
