https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EmES8t_WMAI60-B?format=jpg&name=largeWhy are we worried? We don't need NV or AZ with PA's 20 electoral votes, and, even if we lost both NV and AZ yet won PA, that would give us a few EVs above 270 so as to not have to worry about a faithless elector.
Sure, the projection of 190k could be wrong, but surely not so wrong as to even let Trump come close. I mean, he lost by 20k in Wisconsin and eventually decided that was too big to justify a recount.

The info in the Dem projection on the photo I posted makes it clear that it was prepared recently. I got the photo from Predictit's forum, but if anyone has reason to think it's false then say way. It's consistent with what repoters have been saying:

(61,539 posts)It is up to each of us to question information presented without verification. Accepting things we see on the internet or twitter as fact is how the country got in this terrible situation.
Half the country believes blatantly false disinformation they're reading and hearing. If we beg them to be less gullible and to verify, we must model how to do that.

(25,136 posts)It was projected by the AP. And I believe it was projected on Election night.
Biden's lead has been shrinking. He is now ahead by 69,000 votes. Whether he wins depends. Maricopa still has ballots remaining, but large blue urban areas in the sunbelt are usually only 55% blue. There are plenty of red areas. Maricopa is a huge county. Also in AZ voting by mail is popular with the GOP. We don't know what the story is.
These calls by the media have been wrong in the past.

The optimistic Republicans there have got into my head! I usually discount those liars immediately, but it didn't help to be recently exposed to overly-optimistic Democratic projections on election night.
