    Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm scattered still and today has sucked: Biden still hasn't lost a state he HAD to win, right? He's lost some that would have been great to win, sure. Several of those. But he's flipping Arizona. PA, MI, WI and MN still in play, right? He gets those and he's good?

    Or do I need to really start drinking?

    The cult of polling is by far more loathsome than the cult of Trump.

    The Florida thing is spooky, and the lack of "reach" wins for the Dems (Lindsey Graham) has a lot of folks on edge. But I honestly think this is a boxing match where Biden lost round one and the last two have been draws. I don't know what it is, but I've finally calmed down a bit after being in pretty high freak-out mode up until about 9 CT.

    That is correct. We won't have mail votes from Philly or Milwaukee until tomorrow morning and Detroit always counts late in Michigan.

    I had the same question. It may come down to mail-in ballots for some of those states.

    Ha, I get the Kelly brothers mixed up, but I'm somewhat absolved because their twins.

    Though the identical triplets in my high school never liked me because I couldn't tell them apart so maybe my logic is faulty.

    Right now, Biden needs to hold on to Wisconsin and Michigan which were presumed pretty safe for him, then win either Pennsylvania (too early to tell but supposed to be good for him) or Arizona and NE-02 and ME-02 (Arizona looks pretty good). If he wins Arizona and splits the NE/ME weirdness, but loses PA, you get 269-269.

    A tie probably favors Trump/Pence, but it's not impossible you could have a split and end up with Biden/Pence or Trump/Harris.

    I feel OK about Arizona being the first flip of the night. That + WI +MI + Omaha gets Biden to 270.

    Depends. What were you planning on slicing? If it's a cheesecake, I think you still go ahead.
