Weird to me that Maricopa cty favored democrats yet Trump continues to win late

1. They've explained that older maricopa residents who were Republican have voted by mail for decades

And many still did in this election.

2. Lots of conservative retirees voting by mail.

That’s the best explanation I have. It does seem odd.

8. So does Florida

But if Florida is like Texas, they have the majority of the results by the time polls close on Election Day.

In Texas, we start start tabulating the weekend before Election Day. We have ballot boards that go through the signatures during early voting.

5. Trump is not gaining much if any ground.

6. As of last night, trump needed 59% of the outstanding ballots.

As of now, he’s averaging about 54 with half of the outstanding ballots reported. What’s let is going to have to be 64 or better to close the gap.

No reason to statistically believe the next half be different from the front batch.

7. It was close but trump won Maricopa in 2016.

So it’s going to be closer than we want to think.
