Race is so close right now because Biden underperformed in Clark, where 2/3 of the vote is and Clinton won by 11. He is only up by 8 points, which has allowed the rurals to offset Clark. And it's why Dems are not celebrating NV deciding this thing. Could be close. Buckle up.

(25,462 posts)Initially, he seemed about 100% sure Biden was going to win NV. Last night, he was much more reserved.
Here's hoping the lead holds.

(25,462 posts)I think the positive news of the past couple days talked a lot of people off of the ledge, so to speak. It kind of works both ways.
Of course, if the predictions don't come to pass, it only makes things worse.

(54,770 posts)a break from posting and just be back to read when the votes come in. I feel some freaky stuff going on behind the scenes to make Trump come out on top,then look for more suicides in this season because we can't take four more days of this guy.

(159 posts)Clark has a lot of mail in ballots to be counted, and Biden has been winning those ballots 2:1. Provisionals will lean Democrat too.
Unless something crazy happens, we are OK in Nevada.

(7,006 posts)Period. Jon wants his Twitter feed followed all day and to get on cable news. This is what he does all the time, every election cycle. Nothing new.

(4,267 posts)I was gonna post yesterday that this guy(who is new to me) is hot and cold and in mind I decided not to put my sanity in his hands. I decided against posting my thoughts because he seems to be well respected around here and apparently on MSNBC which I just started watching again just for the election.

And Nevada looking more and more irrelevant to the 270 JB needs. Even still, it looks like a narrow Biden win here which would be cake and icing.

(1,660 posts)every rule to count the votes as fast as they could to declare it. They know Trump lost. That is why Trump is suing.
I don't think there could possibly be enough Trump votes left in those rural counties.
Clark has over 70% of the population of Nevada. Clark and Washoe together have almost 90%, I think. If Biden has an 8-point advantage in Clark, that should be more than enough to win it. He also won Washoe by a few thousand votes, I think.

(7,808 posts)He single-handedly spread the lie that supporters of Bernie Sanders got violent and threw chairs at the NV Democratic convention in 2016. At first he claimed that he saw it. Then he said that he got video from a guy who was there. In spite of promises that the video would be released soon, it never was. Even so, the story hit MSM and even Rachel reported the lie as truth.
At the time, I was suspicious and I looked for every video of the convention and live tweets of people who were there - not a word about it.
It. Did. NOT. Happen. Snopes.
That lie is still making the rounds and I'm here still handing the truth its shoes.
Ralston may be the Font of Truth to too many, but I will never take his word on anything again.

We aren't going to win this by a comfortable margin.
