ELECTION DAY NOVEMBER 3, 2020.

GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

We will be monitoring the new throughout the next few days on America's big decision 2020!

Polls are closing in some eastern states.  Numbers are far too early to consider, but votes are being counted and we are starting to see some numbers.

It comes down to a few states.  Trump will really need Florida to have any chances.  He would also need North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or any smattering of those to achieve his victory goal.  The Republican path to victory is always much harder to achieve.

If polls are correct, Biden has a very easy path to victory not needing much to win, but it does come down to some of those battleground states above.  Democrats have a pretty consistent set of wins along the west coast and parts of the east coast always due to the cities.

Meanwhile over on MSNBC, we have some totally unbiased news reporting.

Are they even trying to hide their leftist elitism agenda anymore?  Apparently not.

I would love to see my state flip from blue to red, but I doubt it'll happen. I wish I could stay up and wait for the results but I got to go to work tomorrow. Goodnight!

[Wolfwood]

Good night to you. 

We are seeing some votes come in and at 88% counted, Trump is about leading Florida, which he needs.  Biden is leading early votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Minnesota.

The website ThreeThirtyFive predicts  Biden will get 334 and Trump 134.  Most predict Biden will win.  Vegas betting has Trump winning by a small margin currently with 59% saying Trump will win.

EDIT: Vegas is now saying that Trump will win 64%.  Interesting.

Ohio and North Carolina is too close to call, but leaning Biden.

Biden is currently leading the electoral vote at roughly 129 to Trump's 119.  I will say, the Democrat's wanted to have a much higher lead at this point and Biden's lead in most battleground states is evaporating, some Trump has flipped in his favor. 

It is still too early to call North Carolina, Florida, Ohio.  But Trump now leads votes in them, when not too long ago, Biden had significant leads.

Still waiting on votes from the ever important Pennsylvania which could heavily favor a win for someone.  Trump campaign has been to over 60 cities in the past week compared to Biden's 10.  Biden spent most of his time near his home in Delaware making small trips to Pennsylvania and Ohio occasionally.  We are seeing Democrat voters overwhelmingly voting for Trump in eastern Ohio, which is a shock to Dems.  A lot of effort was spent there by both campaigns to draw in voters.

We are also looking at the popular vote which Democrats called foul at in the past when Hilary won that, but lost the electoral vote in 2016.  Currently Trump is winning the popular vote very heavily, but over 20%.  But that could easily change as we wait on some west coast blue states.

It is getting late for me and I work tomorrow.  I guess I will have to leave not knowing the winner, but thanks for the recent update, MasterX.

[MasterXtreme]

This is a nail biting election and we are going to go into the night without truly knowing.  I am going to have to call it a night as well.

The only swing state so far is Arizona which is predicted to go to Biden.  Virginia is looking to go towards Biden.  This would mean Biden is very close to the 270. 

[Silverwing]

It is anyone's game right now.  It's 1am on the east coast and we can't call it.  Anyone could win still. 

[Rainberry]

It seems like we will have to wait until tomorrow for a result.  Good night everyone.
