U.S. Presidential Election

I clocked out at 9am and did some work so am a bit behind but have shifted it now. Is anything about to happen? Is it worth going and sitting in front of the news?

If Trump wins Nevada he would only need Pen and Georgia, assuming NC is a done deal.

Wisconsin have stopped counting because their printer has ran out of ink. Where’s David Brent and Wernam Hogg when you need them?

Biden favoured by the bookies now 

[steviewevie]

could it actually end up a draw, and if so what happens then?

Can definitely see a scenario playing out where it will be better for Biden to lose.

I saw them say Wisconsin expected to be called by 7am EST. So midday?

I might actually go for another nap...

They just flagged this on the BBC. Think it said house of reps decide president and Senate vice president?

Each state’s representative gets one vote, regardless of state size.

I oversimplified but explains it here:

Extra time then golden goal.

Not sure why everyone is so convinced Arizona is a done deal for Biden.  Currently it's 51% Biden v 47.6% trump with 84% of the vote (3.4% gap).  At 80% of the vote there was a 5 % gap.  Do people know something that I don't?

CNN just said we won't be getting anymore results from Nevada until tomorrow (5th Nov)!

Pretty sure Dundler-Mifflen in Scranton is closer. 

[squirrelarmy]

Nevada won’t be confirming for another day. Not good

Yep, that is how it was played out in House Of Cards. It's funny how the show is about a horrible politician who created fear to stay in power as president and then tried voter suppression out of desperation during an election...

Planet Earth kind of needs a Biden win here...

[steviewevie]

Surely they should just bin the whole polling thing?

[Gingerfish79]

I'm still astounded that after the last 4 years of Trump, the best the Dems could muster is Biden. 

[Matt42]

If Trump wins Michigan and PA he wins the White House. Biden winning Arizona and Nevada won’t matter.
