My cable box died.

CNN app keeps crashing from overload.

Anyone else confused about Virginia results? Some sites are listing it as a Biden win, but with Trump having 60% of the vote.

He had a chance to win going into tonight. FL was likely going to Trump. It’s his home state really. Trump had to win it.

If it does come down to PA (and AZ) as seems likely, then the whole Trump “must stop counting mail-in-votes” thing may actually come into play. That’s why we needed a landslide, so much harder to steal!

John King just pointed out that only 15% of the vote from Fairfax County has come in.

Ohio is tightening but from rural areas. The Democratic strongholds haven’t reported anything in awhile. Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati (well, the counties they are in) are at a slightly lower reporting rate than the state as a whole so that early sprint is over. Ohio, not PA, might be the most central race of the night.

Obama and Biden proved that well for eight years.

The country was better off when they left than it is now.

I won’t be concerned until/unless Biden loses both GA and NC. If that happens, change my diaper.

The Politico site is brilliant. You can also select by state and look and live counts by county. Also on the bottom of the main page you cam toggle the key states and see what they do to the chances of victory for either side.
