I sincerely hope that this election will open the eyes to voters on how the GOP tries to ratfuck votes. Imagine going through all the trouble to do absentee or vote by mail only for the president to try and throw your vote out because it was coming by mail.

AP and Fox News called Arizona for Biden and I believe a good chunk of the vote expected to come in is from Maricopa County which leans Democratic. Perhaps this is why they called it so early. Nevada has been won by Obama twice and Clinton in the last 3 elections so it would have to be Trump's first state flip though they stopped counting for the day with Biden up by 8,000 votes. Not sure how the uncounted vote distribution is supposed to be split up by historic party turnout.

I want to agree, but we're also likely to have decisions regarding abortion, healthcare, and even loving marriage equality come down the pipe from the SC and that's likely to make for angry brunch.

I don�t think PA will stop counting, they are segregating ballots that came over 11/03. They�re only counting ballots received by Election Day now and there�s a million of em still. They can�t stop the counting, even Michigan (after the lawsuit) is still counting and was caled for Biden.

Trump is flailing like a big wet baby.

That's a given. The Lincoln Project sucks but they're 10x better at jabbing Trump on Twitter than the Democrats ever managed.

Dems just don't know how to fight.

There's also the other given that "you can win a lot of votes if you're willing to court the undesirables" and decency has kept most politicians from going there, but not Trump.

I do wonder how important that Fox call for AZ was, it certainly nipped a lot of the doomposting here in the bud, it also made it a lot harder for Trump to pretend that he was repeating 2016. I have a feeling Fox's back office is going to neuter their decision desk after that.

Here�s the latest picture in every undecided state:

Arizona: Biden currently leads here by 93,518 votes, but there are around 600,000 left to count, according to the Arizona Republic. About 450,000 of those are in Maricopa County, which says it will release two batches of results tonight: one at 9 p.m. Eastern and one sometime after 12:30 a.m. Eastern. Some outlets, such as Fox News, have already projected Arizona for Biden, but our colleagues at ABC News have not yet done so.

Nevada: Biden leads here by only 7,647 votes, and an estimated 14 percent of the vote is still uncounted. However, those votes will all be either late-arriving mail ballots or provisional ballots, which should lean Democratic. We won�t be getting another update here until noon Eastern on Thursday.

Wisconsin: The Wisconsin Elections Commission has announced that all votes in the state are counted, and Biden has a 20,510-vote lead in the state. The Trump campaign has requested a recount, but that has not stopped some media outlets like the AP to project Wisconsin for Biden. ABC News has not issued a projection here, as the decision desk won�t project races that are within 1 percentage point.

Georgia: Trump currently leads here by 79,509 votes, and the secretary of state said during an 11:30 a.m. press conference that there were still 200,000 mail-in votes and 50,000 early votes to count, mostly in Democratic-leaning counties like Fulton and DeKalb. Fulton is hoping to finish all its counting by 9 p.m. tonight.

Michigan: Biden currently leads here by just 37,350 votes, but it will be difficult for Trump to close that gap because most of the uncounted ballots are in very blue Wayne County (Detroit). At 2 p.m. Eastern, Wayne said it had only 16,000 ballots left to count, which it plans to complete by 6 p.m.

Pennsylvania: Trump currently leads Biden 53 percent to 45 percent in Pennsylvania, but this one is a long way from over � 19 percent of expected votes are still uncounted, most of them Democratic-leaning mail ballots. Counties are working around the clock to finish counting, but we�re looking at Thursday or Friday before results are semi-final.

North Carolina: North Carolina has counted every ballot it had in its possession as of yesterday, and Trump leads by 76,737 votes among them. However, the state has announced that about 117,000 mail-in ballots are potentially outstanding, plus an unknown number of provisional ballots. Mail-in ballots have until Nov. 12 to arrive, and only at that point will more results be released.

I don't blame you for your anger but I'm holding off on that particular anger until we have a clearer image of the electorate.

My "I want this to be true" outcome is that Joe Biden was not the right candidate for the situation. My "I'm genuinely worried this is true" is that Joe Biden was the right candidate for the election and this is the best possible outcome because he actually peeled off white people. Both loving suck but the latter represents something that has me far more terrified than the former.'

It feels weird to be cheering for "wow the Democrats ran a bad candidate who barely won/lost" but of the two outcomes it's the better one in terms of hope for the future.
