Nah.  Biden's won, it's going to take at least another couple of days before it's official.

CNN said they’re expecting Pittsburg votes within the next hour or so.

Also i think NV said they’re announcing a second batch of votes in a couple hours.

I'll be up till midnight anyway, so hopefully I can catch either of those.

Georgia Biden leads increased from 1000 to 4000. That puts it out of reach for a recount I would imagine.

Getting aggressive with the money demands

35k from PA about to come in according to CNN.

How long do we think it will be before it's official? Another few days? A week? Until the electoral votes are counted at the joint session of Congress?

It's a bit late for this year but next time round this might be of interest to your election thread dwellers.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as it’s clear that there’s no hope the loser concedes. 
 

The orange one will fight it all the way. This next PA vote drop might be enough to call the state though. Think it’s about 30 mins away now before we get that finalised.

Quite chilling I thought. When do they take the nuke button away from him?

Depends what you mean by “official”. Fully official could be weeks. I think it will be called by tomorrow, if not over the next few hours depending on how many of those PA votes come in.

Nice to see its not just efestivals, but also The Last Leg w*nking over the CNN coverage. 

[steviewevie]

Trump won yet?

[Kurosagi]

After having CNN's magic wall red/blue map burned on to my retina for the last three days, I found this proportional map very soothing:

Apologies if I'm behind the curve or if this has already been mentioned before, but didn't know this:

Someone earlier did some magic back of the fag packet calculations and thought that PA might soon move out of the recount range...is that still likely?

The legend is back!

Trump seemingly has gone full Trump.

I did some rough calculations but that was before the provisional vote news came in. Without the provisional votes it should avoid the 1% recount margin in PA of about 70k. 
 

Now it depends on the make up of those provisional votes. It seems that a lot of those votes are people who originally asked for a mail vote but had to vote in person instead.
