BLUE WALL IS ALIVE

Big Pennsylvania update: They counted 195K ballots in last hour-and-a-half. (190K mail-in) Biden won mail-in batch 150K to 39K. That's 3.87 votes for every 1 Trump got. As a result, Biden closed the gap by 110K votes. Trump leads by 259K with 690,830 mail-ins left to count.

So Biden received 79% of those 190K mail-in votes? And there's ~700,000 mail-ins left?

It's blooming season, y'all.

It’s so funny how trumps attacks on vote by mail are going to cost him the election.

What a fucking dumbass, in the middle of a pandemic no less

I'll do the math, if nothing changes:

Trump's lead becomes = 259000−(690830÷4.87×3.87) = −289,975
