Man it’s really starting to look like Bidens last minute push is gonna be pretty incredible/indisputable. Really hope it ends that way.

Zero. It just can’t work like that, and the outrage country wide it would cause would be insane. I don’t think even Republicans are that stupid, and especially not for Trump. If he loses the vote, he’s out of there.

If it's flat out thrown out yeah, too many people would be pissed off but it depends on what exactly they are used to look at. With all the postal votes coming it play there could be things to swing it like with Bush vs Gore, where if a state wide recount of Florida was done it would have won it for Gore but it was a recount of a certain counties so Bush got it in.

Any of you had no sleep at all?

I passed out about midnight and woke up pretty early this morning. Haven’t stopped watching since.

Bruce Wayne County? Fire up the bat signal!

His biggest foe yet?

This made me laugh earlier funnily enough (spotted responding to a Michael Keaton pro dem tweet)

At least there's no talk of hanging chads this time 🙂

Need some movement in Atlanta. I’ve got a hunch GA is going blue with the remaining absentee votes to come. Let’s have itttt.

Where the fuck is everyone getting all this detailed info from? I feel like BBC may not be the best resource!

CNNs live feed seems to be the favourite source.

CNN -  addictive if you are into statistics.

I love the idea of CNN looking at their stats and seeing hundreds of viewers originating from efestivals.co.uk  

[Spindles]

Loving the reaction here when CNN announced Michigan going blue.

I was pretty tired but I think Farage said in the UK there were instances of minorities, etc been 'persuaded' to vote using postal votes in various elections. Something along those lines.

He's referring to Lutfur Rahman in Tower hamlets a few years ago. The actual allegation of multiple voting and false voter registration within the Bangladeshi community was actually only a small part of the sum of the allegations against him.

That’s a reference I’ve not heard for a long time.

So happy these later counts are coming up Trumps for Biden!! Michigan get it!!

Watching CNN on tv and guardian app on iPad has been the best combo since 3am. 

Feeling much better about state of play now.
