I’m on CNN.

Ok because NYT seems to update every 30 mins - some trackers are a bit slower!

Thanks!

I’m going to steal this like Biden has stolen the election (according to Trump)

[jparx]

Looks like a genuine possibility Biden could get 306 votes. Crazy nights.

Holy shit, GA is going to the wire. 50k votes left, Biden needs about 70%. Unbelievably close

I can't see him getting 70%. Even the most blue areas aren't getting 70% and this is GA.

Surely not?

[jump]

This is great.

[squirrelarmy]

More Georgia votes in. After the ad of course 🙄

[Matt42]

Pennsylvania narrowing.

Imo this is what needs to happen. I felt a bit uneasy at a democrat win with an extremely tight margin.

Why is Nevada taking so long? Cant see any articles about it but its been at 70 odd % counted for ages now.

They stopped counting overnight I think. Timezones mean we won’t get their update for a few more hours.

Guardian says 50k votes left but a margin of only 18,148 to Trump.  Next update will be crucial.

Nevada want to release all the numbers at once rather than bit by bit. 

Votes starting to come in now from PA and it’s still going the right way.

So Nevada are taking a vote from counting until the afternoon because they're tired? 

They are working around the clock, a lot of them as unpaid volunteers. I can understand them needing a break every now and again.

K den. Biden wins then yea?

CNN coverage is getting painful with ad breaks. I think they’re cramming them in so when we get news later they can go uninterrupted, but it’s brutal at the minute.

It’s better that PA is updating in real time, will seem less of a shock than a massive instant swing to Biden if all the results came in at the same time.

I keep walking away and then coming back and it’s literally always ad breaks. Haven’t seen any news for like 20 minutes now - thought it had crashed.

 

edit: Jesus Christ literally back on for a minute and then back to breaks 😄

CNN just showed how Bidens been on a solid trajectory in PA the more votes come in. PA is going blue. Trumps now likely to have an even worse loss than anticipated.

It’s no coincidence he’s back in meltdown mode. He’s now facing the possibility of no longer losing by a fraction but losing heavily!

[Matt42]

THIS IS TOO TIGHT

[jparx]

Yeah it’s just a matter of time really for PA. Hope it gets called today. The rate the votes came in last night makes me think we could get it called later tonight.

I please tell me this is true. Please God please. Please can we have some good news.

I have to keep checking it hasn't frozen in the background when it goes silent. More ads than new at the moment.
