Sure, they might be from a deep blue county, but news services get paid to make accurate calls, not to further a political agenda (even Fox News, as we saw from Arizona on Tuesday night), and, in their judgment, there's still the possibility, however unlikely, that the result could change.

The longer these vote counts take, the more time Trump has to kick and scream and incite violence.

They got us captive. Why not string it out as long as they can. Just kidding but...

Anyway, this is just hurting Trump more and more with each passing minute. He's getting the death of a thousand cuts treatment. And it's self inflicted.

North Carolina won't complete our count until next week, but nobody cares because the outcome seems to be clear.

I'm glad that states allow absentee and provisional ballots to arrive and be counted.

Look at Florida. They left how many thousands of uncounted ballots at the post office. Look how that turned out. Those people's votes really were stolen.

Please don't tell people to "calm down" - it is very condescending, even if that is not your intent.

Armed Trumpsters coming at them in the middle of the night. Hold the verdict until daylight.

of Pennsylvania being the state to take Joe Biden over the top. What a wonderful finish. The "home" state of Biden does it for him.
