Ah, that explains why they haven't called them yet.
Correct.
Penn is 64% reported. Almost all early votes are counted in a ratio we can expect. It heavily leaned towards Biden (because those are the early votes) in the beginning. But as the in-person votes started coming in, Trump quickly overtook the early Dem voters.
There is a huge margin between Biden and Trump in Penn, at the moment. Yet, they still aren't calling it. Based on the current figures, Biden would have to win the rest of the remaining votes at almost a ratio of 2 to 1 in a state where that wasn't even the case with the early mail in votes.
This is what I meant but the election being done as all "toss-up" states are no longer toss-ups. That includes Georgia.
Arizona is quite odd. Hardly any Biden votes have been added since they started reporting at 72% reporting in. Now they are at 77%. What's up with Arizona? Did almost all the Dems in Arizona do early voting? I guess that makes sense since Arizona had so many COVID-19 cases.
Take, for instance, Georgia:
Total votes cast: 4,297,578
Current votes for Trump: 2,272,787
Current votes for Biden: 2024791
Difference: 247,996 Trump
Estimated total votes: 4,939,745
Votes left to count: 642,167
So if the remaining votes go to Biden in a ratio of 2 to 1, final count would be:
Trump: 2,486,854
Biden: 2,452,925
Trump still wins Geogia. Mind you, the ratio has never been that extreme.
But, yet, the media still won't call Georgia.
