An analysis of the numbers and where things may be going and a call to act upon our better nature, no matter the outcome

Note: I wrote this at 9:30 PM Eastern Time, Wednesday, November 4, 2020. I used the Real Clear Politics website for the numbers.

Real Clear Politics count: Biden 243 electoral votes, Trump 214 (270 to win)

They haven’t counted Alaska yet because still only 53 percent counted, but don’t have it listed as a battleground and with Trump up by 30 points, I am going to take the liberty of awarding those three electoral votes to Trump, so:

My Current Score: Biden: 243, Trump: 217.

Uncounted states are: North, Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada or Pennsylvania. According to this article, Trump’s team has already filed suits in Pennsylvania, and there “will likely be similar challenges to ballots in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.” Which is why I’d caution against any media report counting any of these as for either of the candidates. This is going to take a while.

Now, let’s break down the numbers.

Finished Counting, But Very Close
