UK betting markets have flipped to Trump.

Pennsylvania will go Trump.

I guess conspiracy theories about election fraud are cold comfort when you no longer get to post le epic memes.

Speaking of memes, I think we can all enjoy this:

Looking at the numbers, depending upon what they mean precisely when they say "98% counted", it looks like there are about 100,000 votes left. If they track 60/40 in Biden's favour, he probably wins. Shortly after 9.30 am today, Trump led Georgia by 78,000 with about 200,000 votes to be counted. With about 100,000 of those votes counted, Biden has made up about 60,000 of the Trump lead. Roughly put, that means that those additional 100,000 votes counted today have gone about 80/20 in favour of Biden. If that continues, Biden wins Georgia by about 40,000 votes, give or take.

Just an update.

Biden trails Trump in Georgia by about 14,000 votes, after early counting has reduced the margin by around 4,000. There are about 50,000 votes to count. To take Georgia, Biden needs to win the remaining vote at the rate of about 63/37. He has been doing much better than that with the mail-in voting (around 80/20 in significant counting in Georgia yesterday), so far.

Biden trails Trump in Pennsylvania by about 111,000 votes. There are about 550,000 votes still to be counted. The remaining votes are mostly mail-ins. Biden needs to win the remaining votes at the rate of about 60/40. He is presently leading mail-in voting in Pennsylvania about 80/20.

^ I think it's just part of an unfortunate narrative Trump wants to run. If the vote-counting actually were stopped, now, all over the country, Biden would have 270 EC votes and would be president-elect. It's important to appreciate that it's only Trump's team that's trying to close down counting in places where the late counting is going against their candidate.
