- You are confident that happens? - Andie Nov 5, 07:28 4
  - He needs ~130k votes. He’ll likely net close to that from what’s left in Philly alone, not to mention what’s left in other counties which should also -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 5, 07:41
  - Same boat, here. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 5, 07:36
  - Overall, I think the probability is fairly high that the areas in PA not yet counted will put Biden over the top. I'm not sure confidence is something - mara Nov 5, 07:31
  - It looks good that it will happen. I'm not promising anything, but I like Biden's odds quite a bit -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 07:31

      - Or the other guy! -- (link) - Max Nov 5, 07:24
    - Oh I am, mate. Wait, you said 'counts'. -- nm - Australian Nov 5, 07:04
- Some of what they need to count has not even arrived yet, so that makes sense -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 07:00
- They have like 9 days or something to get ballots back so I'm not surprised. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 06:52
- lazy -- nm - decline Nov 5, 06:52 2
  - in no rush for this state. It could be Nov. 12th until they're done. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 06:56 1
    - Biden would need 62-65% of remaining votes. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 07:03

  - this effing country is still too pearl-clutching for that I think. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 07:09 5
    - it's a 2/3 in favour proposition, and that's only going to increase. - Reagen Nov 5, 07:12 4
      - While I hope that's true I will never trust any polling again. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 07:22 3
        
        I think polls are more believable when people have pride in or genuinely admire the candidates they're being asked about. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 07:41 2
        
        I don't think polls are reliable at all anymore. Not sure if it's because people are lying or because the way they're being run is outdated and - Diva Nov 5, 07:45

    - And Biden needs to win ~2/3 of the remaining to take the lead but it's going to a recount. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 06:42 3
      - Biden's going to win. I just ran some numbers on the vote outstanding and the 70-30 split to him should be a conservative estimate. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 06:42 2
        
        estimate range for me is -0.1 to + 0.3% -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 06:57
        
        Even with 80% of what's left it flips from Trump up 20k to Biden up 20k, so a likely recount. - spamlet Nov 5, 06:45

    - I expect some of the networks to declare a victor but it's pretty complicated for the average person to understand due to lawsuits, recounts, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 5, 06:35 1
      - So your answer is yes. Networks will call a victor today. :P - Inigo Nov 5, 06:40
  - They both already have, but will the networks call the states today? -- nm - Inigo Nov 5, 06:33 1
