Update….Georgia call be CNN and NBC for Biden also…
While AP and Fox News had Arizona in the Biden column…
Everybody else that makes calls did NOT….
We now have a final call for the state with a Biden winning margin of over 11,000 votes….
This puts Biden at 290 Electoral votes on all the media charts….
The two outstanding state counts are in North Carolina and Georgia ….
Trump is ahead in the North Carolina vote count by over 70,000 votes and will get the states electoral votes in the end it appears …
Joe Biden is ahead in Georgia and after a ‘audit’ of the vote there will be over 11,000 votes ahead of Donald Trump …
With all of this Joe Biden is expected to finish with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232.…An ironic Reversal of Trump’s winning numbers over Hillary Clinton 4 years ago….
Joe Biden had more than 78 Million votes come in for him setting the record….
The actual vote total’s should be locked in by the end of next week because the final deadline for states getting in Nov 3rd postmarked ballots is today….
For just the second time in more than seven decades, a Democrat will carry Arizona in a presidential election, a monumental shift for a state that was once a Republican stronghold.

Flipping both AZ and GA in the same year is a huge change in the electoral landscape.

Yes Indeed…..
Could Democrats get a second ‘miracle’ with two grabs in Georgia?
My Name Is Jack says
Republicans always win these Georgia runoffs.
The problem in the past has been mobilizing the Black vote .
There’s always a chance I guess ;however, right now ,you have to rate the two Republicans as the favorites.
jamesb says
Damn!….
I agree with ya again….
Biden won…
But the down ballot anti-Democrat vote is alive and well…
We’ll see….
Sure would be GREAT to pull the twofer off….

Last Democrat to win both Arizona and Georgia was Bill Clinton in 1992 (thanks in part to Ross Perot).
Last one before that was Harry Truman in 1948,
This year and 1992 are, in fact, the only two years since 1948 when Arizona has not voted Republican for President. (In 1964, native son Barry Goldwater beat LBJ by fewer than 5,000 votes.)
Scott P says
Clinton won Georgia in 1992 but not Arizona. He won Arizona in 1996 but lost Georgia to Bob Dole that year.
The last Democrat to win both in the same year was Truman in 1948.

I stand corrected (a bit shame-facèdly since I’d pulled up Dave Leip’s Atlas to check but didn’t do so closely enough; a.k.a. bias confirmation)
jamesb says
Just a damn good feeling in Biden doing this….

We’re about finished people….

Pennsylvania Won’t Order Recount
“Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said on Friday that based on unofficial returns, she will not order a recount or recanvass of ballots cast in the 2020 election, including in the presidential race,” Axios reports.
Democratic Socialist Dave says
The Associated Press has not yet called Georgia as of the moment, but it has called North Carolina for Trump (now 232 electors).

Ga is auditing the vote right now….
Think they are looking at about 400,000 actual votes….

As of tomorrow the electoral college meets in 30 days ….
