All that matters is removing Trump and his rhetoric, and 270 will do that.

In it's purest form, 270 is enough, you're right.

Trump's going to cry foul even if it was 300+ against him so we may as well gird our loins for the inevitable misery.

Only a minor victory in the scheme of things, but AZ looks set to flip the state senate AND house, in addition to flipping for the president (Biden) and US senate (and possibly US House). This will truly represent a blue wave for AZ!

See, all you have to do is attract a bunch of Californians! I'm 99% sure the situation in AZ is due to CA residents moving there.

Politico have called WI, and it looks like PA is finally adding numbers. 'only' 440k votes behind now. GA - about 80k votes behind.

Looks as though both Michigan and Wisconsin may well have the 1% margin that allows for a recount though.

A recount is not going to overturn 21k votes

Agree, but I doubt that will stop Trump from demanding one. And then he gets I think a couple of weeks to foment unrest.

Good work Arizona. You may take a bow on its behalf.

He gets 3 months to do that with or without a recount.

PA now 'only' behind by 374k. Biden is slowly moving up.

Well yes, there is that.

If he does in fact lose, can we hold out hope for the most almighty flounce and refusal to do the job (and I use the term loosely) any more?

Honestly, that is one of my biggest questions in all this! A guy who was a successful businessman, made billions (should satisfy the Right wing right there!) and then gave much of it away (maybe that's where he's getting in trouble? - you have to hoard it and use it for nefarious purposes, like Trump!).
