They're using registered voter numbers from either 2016 or 2018

A non-trivial portion of conservative voters are literal cultists that were expecting trump to get 100m votes and sweep the entire country except for the demon states of New York and California. You are going to see all manner of insane poo poo come out of the conservative media machine over the next few weeks, and very insane poo poo from conservative social media, because this election is going to literally shatter a lot of people's sense of identity.

Biden is pulling good numbers out of PA. Keep your eye on it. It's NYT website is putting chunks of votes in about every 20-30 minutes. What I do is take a snip with the snipping tool, and compare every 15 minutes or so.

About 45 minutes ago PA was
Trump: 3,144,541
Biden 2,872,241
Difference: 272,300
51.6%-47.1%

Now:
Trump: 3,162,910
Biden: 2,917,019
Difference: 245,891
51.4%-47.4%



New numbers from Georgia just came in. Trump is down to like 45k lead.

It's because right wingers will believe literally anything they're told and that's why they turned out for this election, because trump said he was a good president and that Biden was going to cancel christmas.

That's literally it.

From there "uh yeah massive election fraud that is completely disproven in seconds" is nothing really

Was it just the last Pa update where it went 3:1 Biden or has it been going that way the entire time? Because there are close to a million votes left to go if the NYT site is accurate.

I'd think that too but Georgia probably could just have their governor go down and personally turn on a firehouse in the room and dare people to do anything about it.

As far as I can tell, the PA mail in votes that have been counted today have been very close to a 3:1 Biden split the entire time. It’s a voting method that skews Democratic coming from areas that also skew Democratic so we’re getting a subsection of votes that are extremely Democratic.

Did some quick number crunching and If the 3-1 scenario holds through to the end of counting and there 700K votes left (which was roughly the number I got based on what's currently reported and what isn't roughly 45 minutes ago) then Biden would end up with something just over 500K of those which would be more than double what he needs to overcome the current deficit so I'm getting some of the bullish pundit calls for a clean Biden Pennsylvania win a bit more now.
