election and continue to count votes. We are in no hurry, like waited four years but meh... no rush. And the last one, keep poll workers safe because of threats to them by trump supporters. And that one is horrifying that this country is so out of control that we cannot declare Biden the President because we cannot keep our counters safe and you must kneel to their threats.

4. If Biden is up 65,000, they'll call it. I guarantee it.

I know Andrea Mitchell, I believe, admitted earlier today they wouldn't call it until Biden was +35,000 and he's not there yet.

I do believe PA is close to being called.

That the 100,000 provisional ballots are not heavily tilted toward Trump. Thats what Kornacki was saying earlier today.

I know that there was some speculation that the real news agencies were giving some room for Fox News to make the call for Biden first- but who knows.

and fatnixon is an entitled, pampered, rich, psychopathic narcissist that has never had to account for any of his failures in his whole life ... so it’s not really a fair competition, now is it ?

Counting ballots takes TIME, and due to pandemic-related huge increase in #### of 'absentee' ballots, it's to be expected.

Right now he would need 66.6% of the remaining ballots to tie Biden. Very unlikely.

If we get a couple more batches and that gets to say 80%, that's unachievable in the real world and they'll call it at that point.
