Texas is going Trumpy but Biden is still in with a chance in NC. I’m not holding my breath about GA. ---

I dunno. Biden seems to be doing well in TX as of right now. ---

For the record, I ultimately picked Trump in GA. So I won’t panic if Biden loses. But, it does make other states quite a bit more important. ---

I’m about to break out in tears and I’m a 42 year old man. I saw a tweet from a data nerd saying that while Biden is outperforming Clinton in some TX counties, it doesn’t appear to be enough to flip it. ---

> [@TroutMan](#): > > I saw a tweet from a data nerd saying that while Biden is outperforming Clinton in some TX counties, it doesn’t appear to be enough to flip it. The main reason that gives us hope is that if Biden can do much better than Clinton in a state like TX, and outperform the polls, then that suggests that him doing worse than the polls in FL isn’t proof that there are nationwide shy Trump voters or anything, but something specific to FL. ---

I read Georgia might not be able to fully report tonight due to a water main break or something…? In either case, I’m still not sure what folks here were hoping for at 9:15 EDT. I mean, I would’ve loved indications of a nice decisive landslide in Biden’s favor, but I sure as hell wasn’t counting on it, nor do I see how the current situation means he lost. ---
