Why do you think GA will go to Trump? Late military ballots?
It goes to the House, but each state gets one vote. Republicans control more state delegations than Democrats, so Trump wins.
According to FiveThirtyEight, CNN is saying that Clayton County, GA plans to release results from its 5700 outstanding ballots by midnight. If it is similar to the last batch from Clayton (87-13% for Biden), that would likely put Biden up in Georgia by about 2000 votes.
I think sudden debilitating illness that prevents court appearances is a fairly common outcome when autocrats fall. The only one I’m personally familiar with is Suharto, who after being a vigorous leader for decades became suddenly fragile and incapacitated after being pushed out. Perhaps other posters can name a few more? I believe both Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe were too sick at the ends of their lives to answer in court for their crimes, but my grasp of modern world history is shakier than it ought to be.
Yeah…There is little doubt that Georgia is very close to a tie…As I noted up-thread when it was down to 1/4 of 1%, we are unlikely to see the tally ever larger than that in either direction again.
Milosevic as well, no?
PA’s a nail-biter all right, but I’m continuing to take the rosy view and believe Biden will take it going away, by tomorrow afternoon or so.
Cheer up, Mr. Trump; now you’ll have even more time for golf than you did the past four years. At least until the indictments get handed down.
Do we all know who the spreadsheet guy is?
A day ago, AZ was called and NV seemed certain to go next for Biden, and PA and GA seemed questionable to doubtful. Now it seems that PA is the most likely to go Biden’s way, and GA might as well; and Biden now has real problems in AZ and NV.
There will almost certainly be a recount in GA. And I don’t blame Trump for that, or really for requesting a recount in any of these close races. But I could easily see a recount flipping the result.
It’s probably the most undemocratic part of our election system. The electoral college is bad enough, but at least California’s say is weighted, even if not enough, for its higher population. An EC tie makes CA’s vote count the same as Wyoming’s.

CNN:
“The president claims he is losing because of fraud. It’s because of math.”
Biden will likely win NV. What’s mystifying is why it’s taking them so long. What are they doing?
Shah of Iran, also. Died about 18 months after the revolution.
AZ, yes. Nevada, maybe not. It’s just totally opaque what is going on there. Many pundits, including Jon Ralston who knows that state’s elections better than anyone, think it’s in the bag for Biden.
I listened to a press conference from the Clark County election director earlier today. From what I understand the problem is a lack of a central database keeping track of who voted in the various counties. Due to this they have to check the mail in ballots against multiple databases to make sure nobody voted multiple times.
How am I supposed to sleep tonight? 
I’ve been hearing NV is still looking good for Biden, but who knows.
Chuck Todd just did an analysis of GA and AZ. He was sounding very punchy and tired, but the upshot as far as I could follow was he thinks PA is still looking really good for Biden but AZ is dicey. He didn’t mention NV or NC.
This is not going to happen. SCOTUS already ruled on this issue in July.
In part:
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously upheld laws across the country that remove or punish rogue Electoral College delegates who refuse to cast their votes for the presidential candidate they were pledged to support.The decision Monday was a loss for “faithless electors,” who argued that under the Constitution they have discretion to decide which candidate to support.
