Good point about the rural areas - if you look at the map at https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results, and select "counties" - you can see the political divide between rural and urban voters.

Yep its pretty much a city Vs rural election. Heavy blue states still have many red supporting counties and red states still have blue cities aka Texas. Trump is at risk in PA for this reason. Most of the votes still to be counted are expected to come from blue area's. If he loses PA he is cooked but I think he can lose GA and still get to 269 if he flips NV and AZ. We'll probably know by next election

Trump is now losing the popular vote by 3.8 million votes.

Georgia lead down to just over 13k votes with 50k remaining (and Biden winning roughly 80% of these late votes). Probably going to lose Georgia.

Pennsylvania still has 500k votes remaining and his lead is now 113k votes. Biden has cleaned up on these votes as well making up almost 600k votes so far. Probably going to lose PA.

Falling further behind in Nevada and not expected to come back.

Closing distance in Arizona. Might be close.

North Carolina being pretty quiet not sure what will happen there.

Biden will probably win this election with a margin of electoral vote and millions of popular vote.

In the words of Donald Trump, STOP THE COUNT!

Pathetic and good riddance.

No matter who is elected president, don't worry too much. Most of the problems in your life will still be your own fault.

Have a great day!

Of those remaining 500k votes Biden only has to win by 60% to catch Trump in PA.

All these remaining ballots are a) Mail in votes, b) From big cities like Philadelphia (where Biden is winning the vote 495k to 117k). He is heavily favoured in these remaining ballots and my understanding is winning closer to 80%.

That is why Trumps 14% lead is now only 1.7% and falling.

Don't worry. Democrats will fill out some more ballots for biden to ensure he wins.
They already said they would do whatever it takes to win this election. We know that doesn't mean following the rules.

How in amine right mind do they think is OK to call the western states won before they even start counting the votes but in Georgia all counties are reporting 100% Trump won but they won't call it red. Sound fishy to you??
It does to the rest of us.

So you think the percent reporting, a value that differs on each news source, is more accurate than the remaining number of votes yet to be counted being reported by election officials??? Georgia officials have never claimed 100% reported, they have clearly claimed votes are still being counted and been giving regular updates as to how many are remaining...

If this was “stealable” by the Dems and deep state, why not steal some senate seats?

Asking for a friend.

Trump's lead has fallen to 3,486 in Georgia with 18,936 votes remaining. Biden only has to win 60% of remaining to grab lead which seems likely. Going to obviously be very close regardless and I would assume will have to be recounted.

In PA lead has dropped to only 50k with 250k remaining. Looking like Biden will catch up there too but going to be very close as well.

Trump has been slowly closing lead in Arizona, currently 57k behind.

Biden now ahead 4 million in popular vote (2.8% difference).

If Biden wins PA he wins. If he wins Georgia still has to win one of the other remaining states.

Worst thing about such close results is that this may take some time before decision is definitive...

I am stunned how many people are just drinking up the BS about some massive conspiracy of fraud ............. ironically happening in RED STATES controlled by red courts, red returns and election officers and red governors as they basically contradict him or simply not comment on his antics and desperate childish BS.

RED STATES and RED Courts are rejecting his silly, baseless, BS claims.

He has lost his mind and is desperately flailing and making a complete fool out of himself and destroying the country's reputation and hurting democracy.

Come on people .... I don't hear any credible people (even GOP) supporting what Trump is rambling on about.

So ridiculously obvious what is going on here.

So, when Biden wins the election can we expect to see widespread rioting like we’ve seen the left do in Portland, etc?

I'm not sure what TDs is but your rebuke of him is as insightful and factual as your dumpster theories. I for one am not done listening and appreciate his on point posts; so why don't you wrap yourself in a warm blanket with a cup of tea and sit this one out instead. You can live in fantasyland in peace and the adults can do the talking.

It’s not up to anyone to prove it isn’t happening, it’s up to the people making the allegations to prove that it is.

I was hoping for a Trump win because I think that it’d be better for Canada. I’m not buying the conspiracy theories. I think that Trump is grasping at straws.
