    Not much.

    Milwaukee announced they think they're about 2.5 hours away from finishing their absentees, at which point they can report them all and that easily flips Wisconsin to blue.

    By the time the West Coast is final, Biden will win the popular vote by 5-6 million, at least. And not win. This has to change. One person, one vote. We are the United States.

    I actually find Santorum to be a decent cable TV news foil in that his only role is to express the opposition opinion as in a 1 v 4 setting, but while his partisanship is obvious (as is the partisanship of others on his panel), he's not a slave to the GOP talking points and will defend the conservative position where he feels appropriate and will concede obviously lost GOP points where applicable.

    I acknowledge that whatever my positive opinions of Santorum may be, they're due at least in part because he either doesn't or is incapable of presenting convincing arguments against my biases and is willing to make concessions.

    On the other end of the spectrum, watching "Slayer" Pete Buttigieg destroy Fox News anchors and their viewership is an excellent counterpoint of how to be an effective "foil" for the opposition party on a partisan network.

    Biden trails by 120k in Georgia, but there's about 400k votes left, almost all of them in Atlanta counties he win with 75 or 80% of the vote, and absentee/early that should favor him by even more.

    I'm pretty sure he's got Georgia.

    Biden up 53%-46% in Arizona with 71% in, per NBC affiliate in Phoenix. Mark Kelly up 54-46 in Senate race.

    Been following the movements of the NYT needle. It dropped to effectively a coin flip, but is now back up to 64%.

    One place that I've heard almost nothing about definitively is Nevada. Tim Alberta said he had reason to believe Dems shouldn't take that for granted, but I haven't got much data one way or the other on that.

    There's a local dude named Ralston who always covers the early vote numbers carefully and has a pretty good grip on the state, and he's been saying it's a safe win for Biden.
