So 1 vote from Nebraska goes to Biden and the other to Trump, and the same in Main where 1 vote goes to Trump and the rest to Biden as opposed to the winner-take-all-principle in any other state God, this system is a mess. Why can’t they just use the popular vote? It seems much fairer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNJ 4,313 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 12 minutes ago, buzzkill said: but AZ is already called for biden... isn't? NY Times as of 15 minutes ago Here is the state of play in seven battleground state as of 3:15 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. ARIZONA Electoral votes: 11 Biden leads Trump, 51.0 percent to 47.6 percent, with 86 percent of the estimated vote in. To keep in mind: Trump needs to win nearly two-thirds of the remaining votes to capture the state. Officials have said they expect to announce results around 9 p.m. Eastern time. GEORGIA Electoral votes: 16 Trump leads Biden, 50.2 percent to 48.6 percent, with 93 percent of the estimated vote in. Keep in mind: Most of the votes yet to be counted are in DeKalb County and other counties in the suburbs of Atlanta that have been breaking heavily for Biden. Mr. Biden would need almost two-thirds of the remaining vote to carry the state. The Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, said in a television interview that he expected the count to be done by the end of the day. MICHIGAN Electoral votes: 16 Biden leads Trump, 49.5 percent to 48.8 percent, with 94 percent of the estimated vote in. Keep in mind: Nearly a quarter of the vote in Wayne County, a Democratic stronghold that includes Detroit, has yet to be counted, and Biden was closing the gap in Kent County, which includes Grand Rapids, with more than 15 percent of votes outstanding. The secretary of state said last night that she expected to have “a very clear picture, if not a final picture” of the results by tonight. NEVADA Electoral votes: 6 Biden leads Trump, 49.3 percent to 48.7 percent, with 86 percent of the estimated vote in. Keep in mind: All of the Election Day vote has been counted, and now only Democratic-leaning late mail and provisional ballots remain. The secretary of state says the next update will come at around 12 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday. NORTH CAROLINA Electoral votes: 15 Trump leads Biden, 50.1 percent to 48.7 percent, with 95 percent of the estimated vote in. Keep in mind: With most votes now tabulated, Biden would need to win about two-thirds of the remainder to pull ahead. PENNSYLVANIA Electoral votes: 20 Trump leads Biden, 52.7 percent to 46.1 percent, with 82 percent of the estimated vote in. Keep in mind: An analysis by The Times’s Upshot finds that the remaining vote appears to be overwhelmingly for Biden. According to turnout estimates, more than twice as many votes remain to be counted in counties won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 as in counties Trump won. Populous counties where the largest portion of the votes have yet to be counted include Philadelphia, where Biden leads by more than 50 percentage points, and Allegheny, which Biden leads by about 10 points and which includes Pittsburgh. Biden needs to win more than two-thirds of the remaining votes to win the state. Officials have said they expect most votes to be counted by Friday. WISCONSIN Electoral votes: 10 Biden was declared the winner, 49.4 percent to 48.8 percent, a margin of 0.6 percentage points. Keep in mind: Wisconsin law allows a recount when the leading candidate’s margin is less than one percent, and the Trump campaign has said it would request one. 8 minutes ago, Curunir said: Hi, me again with my uninformed European aѕs over here Why is Nebraska purple or striped red/blue on most maps? Edit: sorry they do split electoral votes NY Times: Nebraska is overwhelmingly conservative, but the state was being closely watched this cycle because it splits its five Electoral College votes. Four electoral votes will go to President Trump and one from the Second Congressional District will go to Joseph R.
