Approximately 1m mail-in ballots left in PA with a 70/30 split for Biden would still see him fall short by about 100-150k votes, right? Doesn't look good if that's true.

A part of him maybe, but I think he’d rather win.
But imagine the campaigning you can do on the back of it.
Why is the postal vote expected to be more democrat?
Nope. I been saying all day that Trump will take PA. I don't know where the optimism on here is coming from. That's a hefty lead and the first lot of mail voting hasn't narrowed the gap anywhere near enough.
Trends I guess. Several states counted postal vote first and Biden was leading in almost all of them.
Because Trump told all Republicans postal voting was controlled by Fidel Castro's ghost and was part of a plot to introduce communism into America by ensuring people weren't bankrupted by healthcare costs.
I'm seeing the current 5.5m votes being an estimated 78% of the total, which implies there's still ~1.6m votes to be counted. Just looking at the maps though..
True. He needs around 75% to get it (he has been winning 78% until the latest update).
It is gonna be very very close.
Because historically democrats are higher users of this method of voting.
Because the districts where these votes originated from tend to vote democrat, substantially so.
Quelle surprise.
I hope they follow up on this whether they need to or not.
Any idea on the numbers of missing votes that would account for? Must be pretty high.
Lots of reasons. Covid being a big one. However there's something about republicans and wanting to queue up for hrs and do it it person. They wear it as a badge of honour.
I reported it. Trump already had one of his other sycophant retweet hidden because of it.
Because it has been across the US all through out this election state by state. That's why they expect, but you never know, they could be for Trump.........
So what's the expectation if Trump takes this to the SCOTUS? Does he get back in via that route?
I turned off at around 4.30am and I've just woken up now.
Somebody catch me up please.

The USPS does some crazy things to be fair. I had a package being sent to me in Toronto from San Diego. According to the tracking, it got sent from California to Detroit, went back to California and then came back to Canada.
And because the Democrat voters were sensible and thought "Safer to vote by mail during a pandemic"?
Kingy!
Michigan is getting to be squeaky bum time.
Probably not. It's a bad look to disenfranchise legitimate votes.
Because GOP thinks that covid is a lie made by Democrats so the election happens by mail * and so they steal the election. Consequently, they voted in the polls (without masks).
* It doesn't matter that the post is controlled by a Trump sycophant. Soros, Bill Gates, and some other pedophiles still are stealing the election.
John King's back.
As Ive speculated last night - I think they re worried as feck they're calling things too soon again and are trying to draw a more moderate audience, bc its clear a lot of the left has given up on them.
John King's back!
That too, yes.
Any more than he has done.
Because what the results have shown so far across all states that Dems voted by mail far more than Reps who went to polling stations.
HE'S BACK! ALL HAIL THE KING.
Whatever he is doing with his fingers when he stands still is mesmerizing.

Isn’t that only in Philli? Doesn’t include the number of mail in ballots across the state which even in counties which are red, have closed the margin. So not yet over.
has John King mentioned what time he left at last night yet?
Agree. I think it will be close but ultimately will go Trump. PA was always supposed to be closer than Michigan and Wisconsin. For PA to go blue, MI and WI needed to be relatively comfortable, not marginal victories IMO (considering that both of them significantly outperformed PA, and that Ohio went much redder than expected).
I think we may as well rename this the "John King appreciation thread" at this point
twice
700k already included about 1 million of mail-ins I think. So the lead has gone down by 200k in a sample size of less than 300k.
Trump was winning, but now Biden is winning and Trump is saying it's unfair.
It's due to covid, Dems have used postal votes to record their vote while Republicans showed up on the day to vote. Which I probably would have done myself if I was an American. Get to avoid the Trump fans with their guns as well to be fair.
