I have no idea who's winning with this damn mail in voting. I guess I'll know by Friday.

Sort of, but you don't get points for locking off and guarding territories, although it may seem that you do when you look at the political map.

Trump needs every single toss up state to win the election and right now he is in the lead in every single one. Supposedly Biden will make a comeback with late counting mail in ballots, he will need to apparently.

According to my calculations it doesn't look good for Biden. He's up now but the rest of the states he needs will probably all go to Trump(except for maybe AZ).

Yes but Trump will say those votes don't count and talk to his lawyers not to mention jump up and down and have a temper tantrum.

Oh well, with what is looking like an extraordinarily tight Presidential election, which Trumpalot could most certainly win, and GOP looking very much like keeping control of The Senate, I have made the difficult decision today to sell my entire share portfolio in Micky’s Polling and Forecasting Institution PLC.

One thing is for sure, my friends. This election will not come anywhere near healing the divisions in your country.

Another thing. Joe is not the messiah. He is just a rather inadequate and slightly sad old man.

Lastly, the extremely unedifying prospect of court battles will further provide the likes of China and Russia with ammunition to declare the slow death of western democracy. I don’t think that they are far off, either.

I think they're not far off. I don't see democracy as a good thing any more. In fact it's a sh*t show if the voters aren't up to snuff.

As for any election results: I won't believe anything until I've read it on Facebook.

I saw interviews with some Trump supporting white suburban women yesterday. Talk about dead-eyed zombies. Jeez! Seriously, it was shocking.

Or close enough that this will be long from settled. Biden now barely leading in Wisconsin but Trump's earlier speech is disturbing.

Well, as expected, Trump has claimed victory, while Biden, as expected, is still holding out and feels sure that he will prevail over Ronald Reagan.

it looks bad right now, and Trump, as expected, already announced his victory. it is obvious the US voting system needs overhauling; the electoral college is SO outdated. if it turns out Trump is the loser it will go to the courts, and with the Supreme Court being in the hands of Trump it is not a promising outlook, not to mention possible civil unrest. but if Trump really winds up as the winner it is not likely the voting system will be changed in a good way. but it is entirely possible it will be changed in a bad way, and Goddess help us then

One vote should be worth one vote, it’s not with the electoral college. It leads to gerrymandering and low voter turnout and there’s just no logical argument for it. Biden’s only two paths to victory are either taking PA through mail ins or winning both Georgia and Wisconsin

That is incorrect. Biden could get to 270 simply by winning Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan. Those 3 states have a combined 32 electoral votes. According to the Associated Press, Biden has 238, ergo 238 + 32 = 270.
