P.S. Thank you to everyone for not being political when discussing the election and especially to the mods for allowing us to do this today so long as we maintain our good behavior.

Washington Post's analysis of the ballots still outstanding suggests PA could end up in BIden's column, but it's increasingly looking like it won't matter.

tldr -- if it's a tie, then Trump wins.
Electoral College Ties
I believe all counties started this AM. There are like a couple of million mail ins to count. WI had a 5:1 Biden for mail ins. If PA has similar odds then Biden may flip PA.
2020 reaches full singularity.
Tesla turned me from a center right economic conservative to a center left socialist liberal.
That sounds like the headline of some CNBC hitpiece.

By the wonderful history and political science majors.
Canada just released plans to increase immigration to 500,000 per year of qualified immigrants and our normal quota of refugees. Our vetting system though makes it tough to immigrate unless you have a skill set or education.
if you have a multicultural mindset and enjoy hearing dozens of languages spoken everyday you are welcome. Best to have a bit of a socialist side though. It’s kind of our thing. Has worked well for our family.
cheers.

Are you accounting for the fact that Nebraska (in addition to Maine) has split electoral votes?
I thought it was some reaction to Biden taking the lead, but then I noticed all other stock started rising.
So I think markets just want it over now, $TSLA just getting the usual treatment...

It looks like the Senate will remain Republican-controlled, so even if Biden wins it looks less likely that he would be able to push through a budget containing more EV credits.

The rules for Presidental elections are set by the several States, so they vary. In PA for example, mail-in ballots will be counted if they are received up to 3 days after the election. That means that PA can not end their count before Friday. Functionally, they also have a backlog of about 1 M votes to count, so it will take all of those 3 days to catch up on the mail-in votes.
Fun fact: California counts their mail-ins as they arrive over the past 3 weeks. Some States aren't even allowed to START counting them until today.
Messy, wot?
Cheers!

It's looking more like Biden won... I just don't want it to be a long protracted affair.
There is a big factory getting made in TX, and it's two R senators are enough to push it over the edge.

Personally, I knew this election was going to be a lot closer than the polls said, I just hope whoever wins wins soon.
2020 has had enough sugar, we don't need hanging chads 2.0 in this super-politicized environment.

Rock, Paper, Scissors...winner take all.
I realise that a few people are wailing and tearing at their beards because the DEMs didn't flip the Senate and Biden, if he wins, will find it very difficult to get legislation passed - will sit on McConnell's desk like the other 350 bills they didn't treat.
However, the standing of the USA on the World stage will appreciate greatly, sanity and stability will return to American politics. This is good for everyone, I think. I'll take it as a starter.

I think it will trigger lengthy recounts before reaching state reps voting. And, the stock market hell will break loose if that's the case. Hope we don't have to go there ...
