Same here. Libs won the popular vote twice without gaining the majority of seats.

Ohio called for Trump - again, a state that he needed to win and Biden can do without.

Republicans still saying over 1m votes in Arizona to count and that they need to claim 61% of those to take it. They believe they are still in with a shout

Sky 600

Trump 204
Biden 227

Fox seemed to have called a few prematurely

He may well win those states, but there's very little to be gleaned from the early results there right now because there's every reason to believe the votes counted so far are, for a number of reasons, not representative of the state as a whole.

In Michigan and Wisconsin we're basically still where we were this morning.
E.g. Milwaukee (Wisc.) won't report till at least 5 a.m. their time (it's currently 10.30 p.m.) - those votes are likely to give Biden a substantial boost.
And Detroit, Michigan ('Wayne County') lagging behind much of the state in counting. Not to mention the proportion of early v election day vote.

I remember when Labor/Beazley won the majority vote over the Libs/Howard at the '98 election, if it was decided on majority vote Howard's time as PM would've ended after just two years in the job.

Trump's going to be returned unfortunately.

Follow the live odds from betting agencies.

Arizona to Biden


Fox called it Biden, they've retracted that. Still alive for Trump.

If you assume Florida, Georgia, Texas and Alaska fall to Trump, and Arizona and Navada go to Joe, then you're left with 4 in the middle.

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina.

Biden Needs 2 of them to win, Trump needs 3.

Interestingly I think its a tie if Biden wins Wisconsin and North Carolina and Trump Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Georgia has flipped around massively and Biden in pole position now.
Biden to win a very, very close election but what that means from here is anyone’s guess

Biden thinks he wins Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Maybe they know more of the early vote exit polls.

I think that might be based on Virginia eventually swinging to Biden after the count progressed.

I really don't think either camp knows much more than the analysts working for the TV networks - and I definitely don't think that they know who wins.

In short, it will be close, but I don't think there's a single person on earth who knows who wins RN.
