Are you guys making your decisions based on current polls, or just going by your gut?

Why would we lose the Senate if Trump wins AZ?

In AZ, Fox News currently has Kelly up by 15 points over McSally, and Biden by 9 over Trump.

Hillary won it by 30%. Biden is leading by 10% with 85% counted. It’s the #1 Democratic vote block in the state.

I feel pretty good about WI and MI and NV supposedly just has early and absentees left. PA and GA are still in play.

I would rather be Biden than Trump at this moment.
Title: Re: 2020 Election Game
Post by: vansmack on November 04, 2020, 01:55:01 pm
I feel pretty good about WI

"There are only about 300 votes left to count in Wisconsin, officials say. They’re in the town of Willow in Richland County. Biden leads by more than 20,000 votes." [20,533]

Trump will request a recount for sure.  He won in 2016 by 22,748.

RECOUNT RULES FOR WI:  The margin needs to be less than 1 percent for a recount in Wisconsin. Trump will have to pay about $3 million for it unless the margin is less than one quarter of 1 percent (per Reid Epstein)

Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian) received 38,271 votes (1.2%).  Thanks Jo!
Title: Re: 2020 Election Game
Post by: Julian, Hyperpop SLUTFUCK on November 04, 2020, 02:12:37 pm
Speaking of recounts, Michigan is up to a 0.9% Biden lead and more Wayne County votes remaining, so likely going to eclipse the 1% mark (although that is not a cutoff for a paid recount in MI).

Looks like Jules is out if WI goes to Biden

Jeffml....you didn't do a ME2 and you may need it to win (if Biden wins NC)

No, they beat me to it and deserve it.  I was just agreeing that it was looking like they would be right.  GA wouldn't change this, right?  That's the only one I may have gotten wrong.

Speaking of GA:  "An estimated 200,000 votes remain uncounted in Georgia, officials say — that’s more than double Trump’s current margin over Biden in the state.  Of the 200,000 uncounted votes in Georgia, most come from left-leaning areas of metropolitan Atlanta, suggesting they’re likely to skew Democratic." Stephanie Saul

Currently, 83,000 votes apart. 

If Biden continues to get 75% of the mail-in vote:

Biden: 2,457,070
Trump: 2,440,172

If he" only" gets 70%:

Trump: 2,450,172
Biden: 2,447,070

So longshot, but possible.

Jim Acosta reports that the Trump campaign has given up on the Wisconsin recount.

(have to save up for winnable legal attacks and 20K+ in WI is not winnable.  Probably move resources to PA, GA, NV, and AZ)

If Biden gets 65% of the remaining vote in GA, he wins by 1,581.  He's been getting closer to 68-70% of the mail in ballots.  62% or below he loses, narrowly.

Joe Biden being President is going to enrage the 49.8-50.2% of Georgia voters who voted for Trump that they are going to turn out in such numbers for that special election that I do not seriously give either Ossoff or Warnock any chance in a special. Also the mere lack of a Presidential election at the top of the ticket is going to depress Democratic turnout.
