Yeah, that's the way I see it - if Trump wins Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and Maine 2nd (ie the ones he's expected to take), then that puts him on 248.

So he'd still need to pick up 22 votes - which realistically would mean some combination of Pennsylvania (20), Michigan (16), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), or Nevada (6) - all of which I'm hopeful are with Biden though can't deny I'm getting nervous.

Michigan and Penn looking good for Trump

What’s going on with Michigan? The lead looks strong for Trump. Are we really expecting that many mail in votes for Biden still to be counted?

I still think Biden will win overall, but a lot hinges on what Trump comes out and says that will make how calm or not the next few days will be when outstanding ballots are still to be counted and verified:

Biden could win w/ 270 but I believe Trump could do the same if he wins Michigan and Wisconsin plus GA and NC. He doesn’t need PA and AZ

Trump speaks. They love him. Why do they love him? Can someone explain to me why people love him so much?

[Kurosagi]

He's not going to go easy is he.

Would love to know this.

Is he high?

[squirrelarmy]

He’s on the defensive already. You can tell he’s making out that it’s going to be stolen from him. 

[sirjonnyp]

By calling Georgia he's scrambling. He at least didn't go full out falsehood when talking about AZ.

Impossible to say either way - most of what's left, in both states, is mail in and concentrated around the major cities both of which mean that those votes will favour Biden.

The current gaps will almost certainly narrow, a lot, but whether it's enough is anyones guess.

Probably posted earlier in the thread - but there are just no words ...

[jparx]

Haha he’s so fucked off that Fox called Arizona.

[Kurosagi]

Oh dear god, he's bragging about winning Texas and other states that should have been traditional R strongholds!!

I feel like I've lost touch with reality whenever I listen to him...

[Ryan1984]

He said they’re winning (or have won) Pennsylvania by 600,000 votes?

[steviewevie]

He's saying he's winning all the states that haven't declared yet, dodgy twat.

[jparx]

Just lost for words at this cretin.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Mad that he has just come out and started rambling incoherently. He's like some dude at a bus stop. Would hate to try to pick a soundbite out of this! 

[steviewevie]

...oh here we go.

His stupid whiny little fascist voice.

You watch politicians and it’s clear what point they’re trying to get across and they hammer it home. This guy...no idea what he’s even saying. He has no point. He has no policies. 

[squirrelarmy]

He’s calling the election a fraud 😂

[Homer]

Sat here watching democracy collapse in real time.

[FloorFiller]

He’s such an idiot if he thinks this plan is gonna work. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

He is calling for counting to stop WTF

Yeah 100%

[steviewevie]

So...when does the violence start?

[jparx]

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say this is a real low point in the history of democracy.
