Very, AP haven't called it either yet. 94% reporting

Trump 50.3%
Biden 48.3%

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Whatever happens it's going to come down to a few thousand votes again. Probably in Wisconsin and Michigan either way.

Maybe that's through their NBC link as both now part of Comcast?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

No one has called Georgia yet. Some wires got crossed and the difference between leaning R and is R got mixed up IMO.

Sky don't have a decision desk nor the experience of running one. UK networks don't call American elections.

This is starting to go in Biden’s direction

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I kind of thought it would be when Trump called the election fraudulent. He's many things but not stupid and wouldn't say that if he was going to win. I think his polling intelligence is probably stronger than the public polls we're seeing though.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

For those of us lacking the deep understanding of how the ongoing count is 'read' and extrapolations towards calling are made ... how is it now going Biden's direction?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Michigan and Wisconsin are tied or have Biden are ahead but the remaining vote seems to be largely from from Democratic areas it seems

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

From the BBC...

'With 99% of votes counted, Democratic challenger Joe Biden has taken a slim lead (about 20,000 votes right now) over President Donald Trump in the Midwestern industrial state of Wisconsin.

Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Wisconsin by less than 30,000 votes back in 2016 in a major upset.

Despite Biden's slim lead, the race remains too close to be projected.

Wisconsin could be pivotal in determining who wins the White House.'

I reckon Trump will force a recount on this one...

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I always look to the bookies when things are unclear, they usually price it right. Biden favourite right now.

Crazy country, crazy electoral system - one person one vote for President seems simpler and fairer. The UK isn't much better in that regard.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Wisconsin doesn’t have an automatic recount https://ballotpedia.org/Election_rec...0_states,_2020

Usually it’s 0.5% which Biden looks like he’ll clear? So can’t see a recount there unless it gets really close

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

That is quite a swing, last night they favoured Biden, this morning they heavily favoured Trump.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Still favouring Biden - 4/7 vs 11/5

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Shortly after this Biden went out as far as 3/1. I took a punt at 2/1.
