(870 posts)I have trashed so many threads tonight - doom and gloom - just people posting their worst feelings and taking me down with them.
For good news, I need confirmation and not another baseless pronouncements. Thanks.

(3,635 posts)and the totals seem to be holding as same day comes in.
If we win OH (which is not a must win) then game over.

Biden could definitely win, though!

(34,104 posts)Early voting was heavily Democratic. Those are the totals that are posted. Apparently the Cuyahoga County turnout was lower than 2016 - which does not bode well for carrying Ohio.

(65,180 posts)I am optimistic for now.
Ms. Toad
(34,104 posts)In the precincts I worked tonight, the early votes were nearly double the in-person votes. That is unheard of - and early votes run heavily Democratic. In person run heavily Republican.
To win, Biden would need to have outperformed Clinton by almost double to hold through the later-posted heavily Republican votes. The station I was listening to on the way home was not optimistic about Ohio based on the low turnout in Cleveland proper. The precincts I worked at had similar demographics - and only 54% turnout. (2/3 of it early voting,)
mvd
(65,180 posts)Very, very possible! If we rack it up in Democratic areas, there is a lot to make up.
Ms. Toad
(34,104 posts)That makes this early lead an illusion.
Essentially we're counting all the Biden votes first and all the Trump votes last - and my point is that we're not racking it up in Democratic areas. Cleveland's turnout was apparently lower than 2016. I don't know 2016's turnout in the precincts I worked this year - but the turnout was a pitiful 54%. You don't rack it up with a turnout in the low 50s.
mvd
(65,180 posts)And a big R lean on Election Day. I still think Biden holds the lead. Well see. Also see post #8.

(65,180 posts)I have no idea why Cleveland would be lower, however. Not sure what happened.

(394 posts)Its painful to watch the Ohio numbers. Biden was up 8% not long ago. then 5%. 4%. Now only 2.7% up within the past hour.

(394 posts)In just a few minutes it went from 2.7% to 1.9% now.
