"Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania has fallen below 100,000 votes after additional results from Philadelphia and Erie counties. The secretary of state has promised an update this evening." per the ny times

So it's interesting that even Nate Silver said clearly that Arizona was a bad call by Fox News and the AP and that they should be retracted. Likewise, heavy criticism over the late call on Florida, when nearly all votes were already tabulated and it was covered, as Florida's got one of the best counting systems in the nation at this point.

Lot of shouting back and forth right now. I'm not sure if I'm entertained or irritated, tbh.

hot take: trump is going to win via faithless electors, contested electors, and a calculated vote of the House which he actually controls in these matters, as they vote in delegations.

good think peckerless grandpa didnt take my up on my bet.

Yup. not a failure to get 270 scenario, a flip of electors to give Trump 270 where elector disputes are settled by house delegation vote.

basically democrats AND republicans in battleground states where "fishy" things happened both send electors. and since theres a dispute the house settles the dispute. and the house doesnt vote based on individuals, but delegations of states where the majority of that states reps decide. (cali votes as one as dem, texas as one as gop, etc).

and then the GOP electors, legitimized by the house in the dispute, vote for Trump, even tho he lost the popular vote in their winner take all state.

Trump isn't going to win you guys... Biden is taking over the white house. Be ready for it.
