They are saying it's not 760k outstanding ballots, its 500k https://twitter.com/phl43/status/1324199597628153857 the place I am looking at (NYT) says 230k votes total in york county at 97% of the votes already being counted. 77k is more than 3% of 230k. It would have to say something like 75% votes in to make it look like 77k still missing? idk about the rest. Just looked at the 1 specific example though | ||

It's when they pretend that they do hold to certain principles that they are being hypocritical. I think it is hypocrisy because they are in a permanent campaign of accusing Democrats of being immoral and unprincipled. If they were simply living by "the ends justify the means" then fine, but not while sitting on the moral high donkey as the last bastion of Truth, Freedom, and Democracy. That's some hypocritical bullshit. | ||

I think the mail ballot situation in Pennsylvania needs a reappraisal based on info that some faithful readers pointed out to me via email. Earlier, I put together a snapshot of the situation based on data from the Pennsylvania Department of State’s mail ballot portal. But the state’s election data — the vote count — suggests that is out of date. Instead of having a little over 750,000 mail ballots to go, it looks there are actually slightly less than 500,000. That’s notable because it means that Biden has to win a higher share of mail ballots to overtake Trump than I initially realized. So based on the state’s data, Biden probably has to win around 68 percent of the outstanding ballots to win statewide by a hair, not 62 percent. To be clear, that’s quite possible — nearly a quarter of the mail ballots left to count are in Philadelphia proper, where Biden has won 93 percent of mail ballots counted so far. And he’s won more than 60 percent of the mail ballots in some counties where he won less than 30 percent of the overall vote, so even Republican-leaning areas aren’t necessarily bad news for Biden. But the point is, it could be a closer-run thing than the earlier analysis suggested. | ||

Someday we might even tweak the recount margins to be more sane instead of allowing them in cases where obviously nothing will change... If the margin is within 0.5% then by state law there can be a recount, so I'm not sure what shingi's issue with it is.Georgia appears headed for a recount. | ||

Mostly I just don't see why the margins are so large. Recounts are costly and don't overturn 0.5% margins, so it's a pretty weird and aggressive cutpoint to have in so many states (let alone 1%); I could see as high as 0.3% but not much more than that. | ||

That will tell us everything we need to know. If the dump comes out 55/45 Trump, Biden can breath a sigh of relief. Anything more than that and it becomes a nailbiter. | ||
