Florida is amazingly close, once again. Still, I’m not sure what votes are reported and which ones aren’t. There are probably 2.5 to 3 million votes unreported, at least. ---

It is still early. So many vagaries in which precincts are reporting which can really skew things. ---

Vote counting in Fulton County, GA has been delayed for hours by a burst pipe. This means the Georgia result might not be known until morning; Fulton County is home to 10% of the state’s population and is heavily Democratic. ---

A big chunk of ballot counts were just released in Florida. Miami-Dade has 83% reporting, and Biden has 54%. Biden has even bigger leads in Broward and Palm Beach, both are also over 75% reporting. > **[Florida 2020 live election results](https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/election-results/florida-2020/)** > > Live-updating maps, vote counts, and analysis of Florida's 2020 presidential and U.S. House races from The Washington Post. ---

I told myself yesterday that I wouldn’t be watching this. I was right yesterday. I peeked in on a live map and watched the numbers go from red to blue and back to red. This is nerve-racking. ---

Hell, I always assumed Trump was gonna win Florida. I’m mildly surprised Biden’s ahead right now. Of course I don’t understand how they’ve counted seven million votes already so maybe there’s something I don’t get. ---

Fuck you, Bernie Sanders. Florida, especially Dade, looks like at least one place where Trump tying Biden to Bernie and socialism will work. ---

Of course I don’t understand how they’ve counted seven million votes already so maybe there’s something I don’t get. The Florida panhandle votes are all still outstanding, and that’s big Trump country. ---

Is 538 providing updates to the percentage of each state as the votes come in? I’ve been using the CNN map. ---
