PA: 22K votes (Trump)

GA: 1800 votes (Trump)

If Biden wins PA, he wins the election. If he wins GA, he needs to win AZ, NV, NC, or AK.

Based on the trends we’ve seen and where the uncounted votes are, Biden should hold the lead in both when the mail in ballots are counted. What I don’t know is how many provisional ballots there are or what the deadline for military ballots is.

ETA: In GA, provisional ballots will be counted when the mail in votes are finished. Also, Friday is the deadline for receipt of military and overseas ballots and curing of rejected ballots.

In PA, counting of provisional ballots will start after mail ins are finished. Overseas and military ballots must be received within a week of Election Day. No idea how many of those there are.

Georgia on my mind. Trump’s lead down to about 3600 votes. Per 538.
and it only took a water main break...
Did you even listen to what Trump himself said or are you hell bent on misquoting him?

Ajax is just a moron (mostly is lying to himself), but Subbie is a DISHONEST moron, who knows when he is lying / and or distorting the truth to others.
by the way, could someone please remind me, is Subbie a believing Mo? I don't remember.

It is not impossible for a tie at 269-269. In that event, GOP lawyers will proclaim that Nancy Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House, and hereby proclaim Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.

I checked, you are right it is not impossible at the moment. Scary!

Trump would have to win PA for that to happen. That ain't happening.

Trump still leads by about 18,000 votes. Georgia seems awfully close, but with only 1% of the vote not counted, it will probably go to Trump.

I will be elated if you are wrong, but unfortunately you probably correct.

I lost my hope for Georgia when I read that a lot of the votes yet to be counted in Georgia are coming from overseas. And the majority of those overseas ballots are from the military,

Unfortunately, a majority percentage of the military personnel are are so frickin' gawdammned stupid that they support the guy who calls them losers for wasting their time and risking their lives by serving their country.
Go figure....

I fervently hope you're wrong about that, but even if you're not, it seems highly probable that Trump will win in PA, AZ and NV, which will put him over the top. Still, the more decisive Biden's win, the better, as far as I'm concerned, so I would relish the additional gravy of winning GA as well.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
