Politico does a piece that points out that Joe Biden COULD be called the winner by 11:59 Tuesday night November 3rd…
The critical states that Trump needs to win and that Joe Biden is currently polling ahead in WILL probably be able to supply results that would be announced by by AP and the networks within hours of the polls closing…
The carrying on about the results that was the media attention months ago may just be noise that has gone away…
Again?
Donald Trump is polling behind in the states he won against Hillary Clinton by margins larger that four years ago…
Biden has several ways to get to 270 Electoral votes…
Trump has few….
But Joe Biden MUST run up his margins to lock out a Trump challenge against the results….
President Donald Trump has demanded to know the results of the 2020 election on election night, even though some states warn that it will take days to count their votes. But if there is a winner declared on Nov. 3, it will almost certainly be bad news for the president.
While vote counting could be delayed in many states due to a glut of mail ballots, Biden is challenging Trump in several fast-counting, Republican-leaning swing states the president carried four years ago. Election administrators in those states, especially Florida and North Carolina, are confident they should have most of the vote counted on election night.
Meanwhile, the most important states that tipped the Electoral College to Trump in 2016 — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — allow, at best, extremely limited pre-processing of mail ballots. That means it could take days to actually declare a winner in those states.
The result: Several narrow paths to a fast 270 electoral votes for Biden, and basically none for Trump — barring a major surprise in states he lost four years ago. The president likely cannot win another term in the White House without waiting days to find out, though Trump has hinted that he could try to claim he won on election night based on vote counts that won’t yet include many mail ballots, which more Democrats are planning to use this year….

Note…
The above linked piece says Trump seems to have 260 electoral vote CEILING…..He needs 270 for a win…..
