Whether you lean blue or red, voted in person or did it via a postal ballot, if you voted it must be counted.

I hear Sportsbet have paid out on Biden. Should've taken him at $3:10 yesterday when I had the chance.

My friend was telling me yesterday about an acquaintance who put $10,000 on Biden to win. I thought that was pretty insane at the time, but I guess he got the last laugh!

Looking increasingly likely that Biden takes Georgia and Pennsylvania as well as Nevada and Arizona, and cracks 300 electoral votes ... so maybe it was kind of a comfortable win after all?

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

They're not over the line yet. While I hope so it ain't a given till the last vote is counted. Went to bed disappointed thinking I've copped a trifecta: Awful 2020 (with cornoavirus), Collingwood and Trump. Woke up with better news with at potentially at least one

I think there's three possible scenarios now unless I've missed something or something unexpected happens.

Trump will win Maine CD-2, Alaska and North Carolina which takes him to 232.

Biden 306-232 Trump
- Biden wins Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

Biden 290-248 Trump
- Biden wins all remaining states except for Georgia.

Biden 270-268 Trump
- Trump wins Pennsylvania and Georgia but loses everything else outstanding.

I'd say this election is going to top 9/11 as the biggest shit-storm of the century to date.

This is the problem in a country where you don't enforce compulsory voting for those over 18 y/o

Well,I’m glad that Biden is on track to win.I’m not really a Biden fan,I think he’s probably too old to be President .Bit he does seem to be a decent and honest man,unlike Trump who couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it.

I mean, really,did you see his performance last. night?Falsely claiming that he had won the election without all the votes being counted and then making absolutely baseless claims about voter fraud.Honestly,what a child.I know six year old kids who are more mature than he is.That little performance proved,if you ever needed any further evidence,that he is not fit to be the President of the U.S.

Saw this in an update from The Guardian:
The Associated Press and other news organizations including Fox News declared Biden the victor in Arizona yesterday, but Trump has been inching closer to a tie.
Inching closer to a ... what? :lol:
