Georgia is in recount territory and the margin small enough a recount might maybe flip it (long shot). There's enough ballots left to make Biden's margin a more sure thing so lets hope it holds.
I think winning 316 EC votes is better than 270. It's a bigger margin than Trump and the Republicans used to claim radical and sweeping presidential mandates.

Which doesn't matter one iota because the Republicans don't actually give a shit. They're clearly choosing conservatism over democracy.

Almost lose is still winning. Donald Trump almost lost in 2016. It's a silly characterization bordering on circular logic. Democrats are losing voters to republicans(florida lost due to this) by being painted as communists and socialists. Hard to see how going actually left party rather than right leaning centrisw they are now helps

The Cuban community came out in spades, but the Cuban community has always been Republican leaning. The Democrats weren't going to get them. What needs an explanation is why fewer people came out for the Democratic nominee this year than in the past. It might be as simple as Biden's lack of in-person door-to-door campaigning really did cost him in Miami-Dade, or it might be something more grave.
In either case, if future Republicans can continue to get the Cuban vote out and actually voting, Democrats likely won't be winning elections in Florida anyway. Huge margins of victory in Miami are what makes Democrats competitive in the state. Lose that and it's not a purple state anymore, it's a red state.

I wonder how much the pandemic has impacted the results? I mean, there are a lot of people out there who are tired of it and just want to go back to normal, regardless of the potential cost. How many of those people voted Trump solely because of that?

I just have one question after reading that, and it involves the very first line: What talent?

At some point I wonder if Fox is just digging its own grave.
How easy would it be to simply declare Fox part of the Republican party and deny it press access? After Trump set the stage in attacking all media, I can't help but think there's going to be a growing wave of politicians who attack just Fox news.

Does anyone know what is going on with North Carolina? To my knowledge the state hasn't updated it's numbers since Tuesday.
