The screen grab above is from Georgia – one of they states where there’s just a possibility of a Biden victory which, if it happens, could lead to the media at least calling the overall result of the election.

    It's possible IFF Biden only wins Georgia of the remaining.

    But Pennsylvania looks like it'll be Biden by 75-100,000 votes. And Nevada looks more solid than it did at the start of play today.

    Arizona secretary of state says alleged voter Sharpie problems a 'nonissue
    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/524629-arizona-secretary-of-state-says-alleged-voter-sharpie-problems-a
    ...Some Arizona voters have filed a lawsuit against Democratic County Recorder Adrian Fontes, the county Board of Supervisors and other officials of Maricopa County, Ariz., alleging that Sharpies were given to voters and damaged ballots due to the marker bleeding through, according to Fox News.

    The state's Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich also called for an investigation into the use of Sharpies in a tweet.

    We have received hundreds of voter complaints regarding Sharpies at polling locations. Accordingly, we sent this letter to Maricopa County election officials. Let's get some answers. Read our letter here: https://t.co/c6FSFZiNj7 pic.twitter.com/HnZ16UTTrs

    "We have received hundreds of voter complaints regarding Sharpies at polling locations. Accordingly, we sent this letter to Maricopa County election officials. Let's get some answers," he tweeted including a link to the letter.

    Maricopa County recently responded to claims in a tweet.

    Sharpies are not a problem for our tabulation equipment, and the offset columns on ballots ensure that bleed through won’t impact your vote. #yourvotecounts https://t.co/6iAjBkzunO

    The most common reason for the large number of provisional ballots appears to be lack of ID (either in person, or as supplied with a postal vote). So people get a provisional paper and have to provide their ID subsequently. The large numbers of people turning up without the ID needed, despite it having been a long standing requirement, is notable.

    isam said:
    The head of the ONS has literally said that the nation's top scientists have justified plunging the country into an economically catastrophic lockdown based knowingly on out-of-date and misleading data that doesn't justify the case made. This should quite clearly be a resigning matter, in any sensible interpretation of this. Simply "apologising" shouldn't be enough.

    But it won't be because the vast majority of the "sensible" criticism of Government policy comes from the angle of "lockdown hasn't been implemented quickly enough" and a general evidence light feeling that "we should be locking down as much as possible". It's an absolute scandal.

    Even if actually the policy is sound, and the Government is doing the right thing, it absolutely should be being done on the basis of the most accurate and up-to-date evidence, and that evidence should be offered as transparently as possible.

    Labour potentially could come second in Scotland with some work

    That also suggests they could pick up some SNP constituency seats in the central belt next year with Tory and LD tactical votes
    Yet if Mr Starmer has said he's open to indyref 2, precisely in order to peel off those pro-indy but previously labour voters ...
    SLab will pick up near zero Yes voters in Scotland, to win seats from the SNP they have to win Tory and LD Unionist tactical votes in the central belt.

    Starmer also said indyref2 was not needed soon he only did not rule out the possibility if the SNP won a majority next year but if SLab won seats from the SNP next year then the SNP would lose their majority at Holyrood and that would not apply anyway
    On those figures, SCUP is already getting confined to the Brexiter and Unionist bitter-enders, and the LDs to the shy Tories and the special constituencies. The potentyial Labour votes are pretty much all in the SNP, Greens or LDs - and fewer of those in a FPTP (forget Holyrood for now). Ian Murray is sui generis; nobody else in SLAB pulled off that trick last time, admittedly under Mr Corbyn - but then nobody seriously believed Mr Corbyn would win anyway, so it was safe to vote for Mr Murray and co. Now Mr Starmer is a far greater existential threat to the Tories.
    No, the votes Labour would get from the SNP are pretty much at a maximum the 7% who voted No in 2014 and are now voting SNP to take them from 45% to 52%, otherwise the combined Tory and LD vote is on 26% and outside of rural Scotland and the posher parts of Edinburgh and Aberdeen and the very poshest parts of suburban Glasgow every Scottish constituency seat is a straight SNP v SLab fight.

    Therefore SLab has to win over tactical votes from the Tories and LDs in those seats, mainly in the central belt, to make gains
    Hmm. You're still forgetting the Greens, and the folk who tend to vote socialist but Yes. And the Edinburgh constituencies at least can be very mixed indeed socially. I'd want to see more hard evidencve that tac tical voting wouild work when it has not worked before for anyone other than Ian Murray - who has a very, erm, distinctive attitude in his advising people how to vote, or not vote, for the SNP. But plenty of time yet.
    The Greens are irrelevant in constituency seats, they get almost all their votes on the list. The hard left socialists who vote Yes will also vote SNP on the constituency vote but socialist on the list so neither can be won over by SLab at the constituency seat level.

    Apart from Edinburgh West which is a LD v SNP battle and Edinburgh Central which is Ruth Davidson's seat I would agree every Edinburgh seat too at Holyrood (and indeed Westminster) is an SNP v SLab battle where SLab also has to win Unionist tactical votes.

    Murray has shown the way which is why he has a stonking 22% majority in Edinburgh South and is the only SLab MP, other SLab candidates must follow his lead and start appealing to Tories and LDs
    FPT:
    You're still neglecting the point that there is a lot of tactical voting already thanks to the Greens and Trots (which admittedly could go either way for Labour) - compare Holyrood and Westminster votes (as indeed you imply).

    So about 60,000 mail ballots received yesterday and today (but postmarked election day or before) and 60,000 provisionals. 120,000 total. Mail ballots will break very heavily for Ds as always, based on all prev provs, Ralston says provs will be about 50/50 , so Bidens lead will increase a lot, dont think it will even be that close in the end. Only downside all counting and declaring wont be finished til Saturday or Sunday!! Not sure why, but expect lots more Trump troops deployed there because of that decision.

    Perhaps Joe Biden could be the first zero-term President and hand over to Kamala before the inauguration.

    There was a time (1849) when Zachary Taylor refused to take office on the first day of his term as it was a Sunday.

    So there is an arguable case that David Rice Atchison, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, was President solely for Sunday, March 4th 1849.

    Greens and Trots may vote Labour at Westminster level, for Holyrood constituency seats they will always vote SNP.

    In England and Wales I would of course only advocate voting Tory as Labour or the LDs are the Tories main opponents, in Scotland however the SNP are the Tories main opponents and saving the Union the Tories main cause so outside of rural Scotland and a few posh urban seats where I would advocate voting Tory at the constituency level for most Holyrood constutuencies it makes sense as a Unionist to back voting SLab in central belt seats to beat the SNP and Tory on the list

    The head of the ONS has literally said that the nation's top scientists have justified plunging the country into an economically catastrophic lockdown based knowingly on out-of-date and misleading data that doesn't justify the case made. This should quite clearly be a resigning matter, in any sensible interpretation of this. Simply "apologising" shouldn't be enough.

    But it won't be because the vast majority of the "sensible" criticism of Government policy comes from the angle of "lockdown hasn't been implemented quickly enough" and a general evidence light feeling that "we should be locking down as much as possible". It's an absolute scandal.

    Even if actually the policy is sound, and the Government is doing the right thing, it absolutely should be being done on the basis of the most accurate and up-to-date evidence, and that evidence should be offered as transparently as possible.

    So the next big betting foreign election is France 2022.

    I plan to write PB threads on that election in French.

    Surely it is the German Federal election next year?
    Scottish and Welsh elections.
    North of Tyne mayor is more important, surely?
    Look, I know the Mackem accent sounds foreign to us speakers of the Queen's English, but North Tyne isn't foreign.
    :D Nice try but I'm not biting.
    The thing that surprised me when I first learned about it was that there is about 10 miles between Sunderland and Newcastle.

    I had thought it was a proper gap like the one between Manchester and Leeds or Manchester & Liverpool.

    BF "Trump Electoral College Votes" market 1.72 for the range 210-239 has to be taken. If you think Biden will win Georgia (and PA and AZ).

    What would be really funny is if a judge said to the Republicans,

    ‘Yes, there’s clear evidence of fucking massive fraud. But you still lost, so your cheating had no effect on the result.’

    365 just gone dems 3/10 GA. paddys still 4/7 if you think 365 are right.

    I`ve been hammering BF -63.5 h`cap market. Biden was 1.8 - 2.0 until only half an hour ago. This was, in effect, a play on Biden winning Georgia.
    Am I missing something on this market? Trump currently has 214 ECV's (217 once you include Alaska) - and that's not counting any of NV, AZ, GA, PA, NC. 217+63.5 = 280.5 which is greater than 270 - so Trump should be at 1.1 or tighter on this market surely?

    seems a big move though when no new votes have come in for about an hour.
    If you look at the precincts with votes o/s and do the maths Biden will very likely take Georgia. Almost a certainty I`d say.

    I suspect turnout will be determined by the behaviour of a 6-3 GOP SCOTUS.

    I reckon that's going to impact the turnouts for the Senate races.

    Fun fact, in looking over random counties to see which was the most Democratic or mosr Republican in a given state, turns out that the most Trump supporting county in Wyoming is Crook county.

    When I was in St Lucia, a while back, there was a very large sign on the road to the hotel, advertising the candidacy of Mr Robber for elective office.

    Trumpsters on a protest vote and establishment Republicans to keep the left in cheque, Democratic turnout will likely collapse compared to 2018 and 2020

    I have a very confident end point of Biden 306, Trump 232. Difference 74. So Biden -63.5 pays out.

    Yes, yes diabetes but I'm 38 and not overweight, and fine usually, so it's a bit weird.

    I used to work with a gentlemen from Texas - he owned a ranch that, according to him, consisted entirely of boulders and tree stumps.

    Being a trained explosives expert, he would spend the day carefully placing ANFO with a bit of dynamite to kick it off, and wiring it all up. Come evening, he would sit on his porch, pressing buttons and drinking out of a jam jar....

    He was well regarded in the oil business. Apparently an explosives man with all his fingers is rare and to be respected.....

    I'm no expert, but I always assumed the sulphur smell of fireworks was because of the gunpowder. You get the colours by adding different trace elements (like the flame test in chemistry that Bunsen invented his burner for).

    Thanks - thought that I was missing something obvious - mental block about handicap markets being the difference not vs the post. In which case the - 100.5 market might be worth looking at as a proxy for Biden sneaking NC as well (where I agree with Robert that I think he might) for and end point of 321-217
