AZ just did a 75K ballot dump, Trump picked up some ground with a 59% winning clip, Biden's camp thinks these %'s won't hold and the next dump, (due in a couple of hours) will be more like 50/50. They better hope so or this thing in AZ could wind up a Trump win. Don't want that with the vote in Pennsylvania going to be headed for a challenge.

AZ has been a complete roller coaster for the last 24 hrs.

Yeah I saw that. I don't think Trump wins even if he takes all remaining votes by 59%. There's ~200K votes outstanding there and Biden is ahead by 80K. Trump needs 72% of the remaining votes.

Now that we’ve established that mail in ballots can work, we really should be looking at a blockchain online system. This manual vote counting and the legal challenged they enable due to human error should be a relic of the past.

Yeah I have about 0% faith in our current ability to implement additional technology in the voting process.

Biden wins Georgia if he wins 59% of the remaining mail in ballots... Considering they are from predominantly African American areas, his odds are looking better and better. I think no one is going to have 50 Senate Votes until Feburary. I am pretty sure both Georgia seats are going to runoff’s.

Hopefully Biden can run the table or Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and PA. It would be mighty hard to challenge that.

Where are you getting the remaining numbers from?

Fox News and The Guardian appear to be the only news outlet that have called AZ for Biden. Most other outlets say undecided.

EXPLAINER: A closer look at Arizona

A CLOSER LOOK AT ARIZONA State officials said Friday there are 150,000 votes still to be counted in Arizona, a Western presidential battleground state where Democrat Joe Biden had a .92 percentage point lead over Republican Donald Trump, an advantage of about 29,861 votes.

And that's so frustrating, because anyone heavily involved with technology could probably whiteboard a half dozen different ways in which you could securely, and reproducibly create a perfect voting system for the entire world's population.

And I know it'd end up complete shit, and a radioactive mess that'd need to be buried in the desert. With gloves.
 
There’s still one way for a tie. If Trump wins PA, Arizona, NC, and Nevada, and Biden win Georgia there would be a tie. This is not likely but it’s possible.

CNN is showing a gap of 40k votes in GA, while election officials are indicating that there are 122k ballots remaining.
Some earlier articles had indicated these ballots were primarily in the ATL area (thus likely to favor biden). But he'd need at least 2/3+ of the ballots to pull it off (assuming no 3rd party votes)

Last I saw there were ~154k remaining.

I'm extremely happy how the election is turning out. Trump likely voted out of office and divided Congress. Couldn't asked for better outcome.

You know I'd maybe agree if Republicans were at all same. But right now they will do anything to make Joe look bad, no matter the harm they do to the country.

Ponyo is wrong as you hint at. The Repubs now realize Trumpism is alive and well as this is a tight election that he might just well lose only because of a perfect storm. The Repubs will double down on Trumpism, lies and bullshit and obstructionism just like they did in 2010 and ever since, looking to take back Congress and then the WH by blaming it on radical Joe Biden. They don't care how many average americans get hurt economically on the road to that, too many of them are brainwashed drooling fools.

Yup, obviously there is no way to punish the Senate Republicans for bad behavior.
 
Both parties suck. The more they fight each other and get nothing done, the better off we'll be as a country.
