Biden 209 - 112
Still lots more to go.

Biden is going to lose, I’m afraid. Unbelievable how the state polls have got it so wrong again. Demographic changes from 2016 and turnout looked good for him as well.

Incredible how they are talking about lawyers and ugly battles.

Makes you grateful to live in this country.

Still don't understand how it's not just simply one person one vote. Person with most votes wins.

It doesn't work that way in the US to prevent Wealthy cities monopolising the direction and power of the nation.

Our system isn’t exactly great, is it?

No, far from it.

But the clear corrupt influences aren't there.

And it's very rare for ballots to be contested.

I don't understand. Each person's vote should count as the same no matter where they come from.

I tried to ignore the polls. But, the one thing that made me think Biden might win was Trump's handling of Covid which has been shameful at times.

I am at work and trying to follow so not arguing with you but what makes you say this? Are all the states left going to be for Trump?

No guarantee, but it's a bit like Biden is in the relegation zone and running out of games in hand.

Pennsylvania edging towards Biden, although far too close.

Trump winning today but mail in going Democrat.

I still can't get my head round how someone can lose two elections in a row and be president for eight years. (Biden expected to win the overall vote).

At least the Tories were the party most voted for at the election.

Looking like Arizona could go to Biden, which is a boost and lifeline.

The only certainty in this is that we won't have certainty for a while yet. It's going to come down to the likes of Pennsylvania, who are saying they possibly won't announce their result until Friday.

Under your system only the Democrats would ever rule.

Not sure a system or country that only has a single party ruling is a healthy democracy.
