left to count does not exceed Bidens lead. No reason to not officially call it. Georgia is done and re starting the counting as audit. No reason to not call that. And everyone I have heard said Nv was done, days ago.

5. While in the past they didn't wait for a recount they will now.

1) It doesn't really matter. If Biden wins GA he is President Elect. If Biden loses GA he is President Elect.

2) If they get it wrong they will never hear the end of it.

3) They have plausible deniability in the narrow margin and the fact that GA has called for a recount.

So there is essentially zero benefit in calling GA at this point and a lot to lose so they will "opt out" and wait for the official results. If the race was still up in the air maybe someone would call it in order to be first and call the winner but that isn't the case. Regardless of what happens in GA Biden will be the next President.

The bad news is the hand recount is going to take forever so don't expect it to be called anytime in the next week.

I think they (Trump) are trying to make it so GA will not certify their votes on time.
