And of course the massive Democratic cheating attempts are under way in Philadelphia:

I've always had a strange fascination with watching Election nights (various countries). Florida is on a knife edge.

The New York Times is pretty close to calling Florida for Trump. He is doing much better in Miami this time around:

New York Times now saying that Trump will probably win North Carolina:

Republicans doing very well in Florida. It is ridiculous that the major media companies (including Fox News) won’t call Florida for Trump yet:

That’s funny to me. I’m watching Chopped tonight.

Ridiculous language from Trump at the presser. I think the Pennsylvania procedures are ripe for corruption, but there are a lot of votes still up for grabs in other states.

Totally disagree. Trump is ahead in almost all the key swing states (except Nevada), and the Democratic governors and mayors of the the big cities are delaying counting votes in their areas. You would be annoyed too if you were him.

Trump has been up in North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania all night. The only swing state of the 6 swing states that Fox is listing as up for grabs right now that he has been losing all night is Nevada, where he is down 3% (or about 30,000 votes). In Pa he is up huge, by around 700,000 votes. And right now the Democrats in Pa and those states are trying to delay the counts so they can fiddle with things:

Fox calling Arizona for Biden.


Here’s why. It was a premature call because the top brass at Fox has some people as sympathetic to the Democrats as CNN and MSNBC (neither of whom have called Arizona yet) are. But this is who Fox chose to lead their decision desk - a Democrat as partisan as they come. He waited until 95% of the Florida was in to call it for Trump but then called the Arizona vote with only 71% in and over a million ballots not yet counted. It’s a joke:

He doesn't need to say what he did. He might not even need Pennsylvania. If he wins then he's going to look pretty stupid because he's already called the whole thing a fraud.

You're assuming it's because Fox has Democrat staff skewing predictions. If Arizona goes to Trump then you'll have a discussion point... until then, none.

No, all I am saying is that it was a premature call. Not even CNN and MSNBC called Arizona. It was totally irresponsible of Fox to let that Democratic hack running their election desk call it.

That’s clearly not what he meant. He didn’t say that the whole election was a fraud. He clearly meant that the way Democratic governors and mayors in key swing states are delaying vote counts with him substantially ahead is fraudulent:

Fox called Virginia for Biden when Trump was ahead. They got it right. See how the chips fall in Arizona. If they get it wrong then you'll have a case. Trump doesn't have to accept it anyway until the result is final.

Well this is a lot closer than expected. America speaks indeed! Fkg pollsters are absolutely useless it seems. So if Biden gets Arizona it opens up the possibility of him winning without evening needing Pennsylvania. Still think the odds are in his favour but oh man... this is tight!
