Arizona Republic is estimating "at least" 600,000 ballots in Arizona to be counted, as of 11am today.

These are mostly early ballots that were sent in the last couple of days and early ballots dropped off on election day. Trump is still about 91k behind, but that is a big number.

guys, i just realized what is going to happen...Trump pulls out Arizona and Pennsylvania. Georgia goes to Biden.

269-269.

The whole year has been set up for this.

Dude, do you you really think it's in your interest for me to drop dead of a stroke?

So to touch on another topic I brought up earlier, weed has been legalized in:

* Arizona
* New Jersey
* Montana
* South Dakota
* Mississippi (medical)

Biden is making the website for his transition public already.

The American people will determine who will serve as the next President of the United States. Votes are still being counted in several states around the country. The crises facing the country are severe — from a pandemic to an economic recession, climate change to racial injustice — and the transition team will continue preparing at full speed so that the Biden‑Harris Administration can hit the ground running on Day One.

Nevada gives me the heeby jeebies.
Las Vegas is just so Trump.

Did you explain why you asserted this earlier?   I don't know why you think Vegas is 'so Trump'.

Fake. Vulgar.
Gambling, sex work, and tacky hotels.
A poor man's vision of wealth and success.
They just seem so made for each other.

It's a Trumper's version of holidaying in Paris, yes. But they don't necessarily live there.

[Caliga]

It seems Biden's team is absolutely convinced they won.  I also don't believe they are filing any nuisance lawsuits like Trump's team is, which is pretty telling.

From Vanity Fair:

According to a source, Trump phoned Rupert Murdoch to scream about Fox calling Arizona for Joe Biden and demanded a retraction. Murdoch refused, and the call stood

Can he do it without injuring the body?

What would happen if that's the case? Or rather--what is supposed to happen?

It's kind of fucked up.  The House of Representatives votes to decide the election, but each state delegation gets one vote.  Yes, that means Wyoming has as much power in that vote as California does.  I guess the delegates get together and vote, and then whomever wins that vote puts one vote in the hat for Trump or Biden.

[Berkut]

Biden will end up with 306 at the end.

[Josquius]

Trump and Biden. Pistols at dawn.

"According to a source"...

The thing I don't get is why this matters. They are going to count the votes in Arizona. If Fox was right, Trump will lose. If Fox is wrong, he will win. If there is some point that requires litigation, whether Fox "called" the state is irrelevant.
