While I adore that Texas is showing blue at the moment, I will literally eat a bug if it goes to the Democrats. ---

I just looked at 538s 8 pm update, still says 69% chance for Biden in FL. Don’t get that at all ---

> [@Mike\_Mabes](#): > > I just looked at 538s 8 pm update, still says 69% chance for Biden in FL. Don’t get that at all That’s (I think) their final pre-election-night projection, nothing to do with recent updates. ---

Ohio is becoming very interesting. I noted the county north of Columbus, Delaware County, has Biden 10 points up with most of the vote in. I looked it up and Trump won Delaware County by 16 points in 2016. I randomly picked a bunch of other counties and Biden is doing much better than Clinton everywhere. I had just assumed Ohio was a sure Trump win but it will be extremely close. ---

Ohio is looking good so far. I’m wondering if we should be worried about Virginia. ---

Yep, I came in to mention that things are looking promising for Biden in OH for just this reason. My map doesn’t have Florida or Ohio for Biden so if this holds it would be fantastic. ---
