Pennsylvania: counties are continuing to count. Several hundred thousand ballots

left to count. They will be counting into the weekend. CNN Only tiny percentage of in person ballots left to count.

350,000 was the last figure spokesperson saw for number of ballots yet to count.

Oh god. Spokesperson SS of Penn said some negative tweets about Trump 4 years ago before she was secretary of state for Pennsilvania. So it is going to be like that with the Trumpies in Penn.

This number was a revision of the 550,000 figure that was floating around earlier. The NYT maintains it is 500,000 and still hasn't corrected that number, but I'm going with the 340,000 number until I hear otherwise.

This thread has some details:

That explains a lot! That is probably why the NYT hasn't corrected their number.

Thanks!

10. Biden is not making the gains

Last batch, Trump was up 90,544

Now Trump is up 90,629


It seems like peanuts, but this means that Biden is less than 50% in each batch to overcome the 90,000 vote deficit.

Biden current vote totals 3181514 = 24474 of 36720 posted since that earlier number I showed or 66%
Trump current vote totals 3259932 = 12246 of 36720 posted since that earlier number I showed or 33%

I got these numbers here https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/ and they are moving
I got the mailin numbers here https://www.votespa.com/About-Elections/Pages/Counting-Dashboard.aspx (page 2 of the dashboard reports) and they haven't changed since my earlier post.

As I said, I'm not a statistician, so I don't know what any of it portends.
