Well, still positive news.

(11,605 posts)So if mail is all that's left to count, he should gain almost everywhere.
The converse is true with in-person votes: Trump is winning the election day vote in every county except Philadelphia. Even Democratic strongholds like Montgomery and Delaware (though it's closer there). But I think all or most regular in-person votes have already been counted.
The in-person provisional ballots in red counties are more of a wild card. As I noted above, the in-person vote heavily favors Trump, but provisionals usually favor Democrats, at least in a normal election.

Provisionals usually favor democrats, like you said.

I was called a liar today for saying the mail-in votes favor the Ds - from someone who parroted Trumps railing against vote-by-mail for months.
