Difference = 11,635 between candidates vote totals

So this evening we added a total of 12,845 votes, and the difference reduced because more votes went to Trump. My calcs suggest only about 17,000 votes left (but this is a highly speculative number ... all depends on what '100%' is ...)

And one more bit of good news from AZ -

Top Arizona Republican says Joe Biden will win state's race for president

He also said ""If indeed there was some great conspiracy, it apparently didn't work.""

The above article suggests there might still be 45,000 votes left to count.

Arizona Update ...
Today (12 Nov) at 5pm ish, a total of 6,697 votes were added. New numbers are:
1,666,495 Biden - Added 3,048
1,655,461 Trump - Added 3,649
Difference between candidate totals is now 11,034.

I saw a report that said approx. 16,000 votes remain to be counted. Apparently Trump would need to get 85% of all remaining ballots to overcome the difference of 11,034.

STILL not called by New York Times!

Arizona FINALLY CALLED by New York Times! According to 12NewsAZ,

"Arizona's latest ballot count has mathematically eliminated President Donald Trump from winning the state even as his campaign hotly contests the results of the presidential election.

As of Thursday night, President-elect Joe Biden holds an over 11,000 vote lead over Trump with just 10,315 ballots left to count in the Grand Canyon State."
https://www.12news.com/article/news/...a-dbdf989e261f

It's the first time the state has voted for a Democratic president since 1996 - Bill Clinton! And as for Maricopa Country (my county of residence): "HISTORY Joe Biden is the first Democrat to win Maricopa County in 72 years, since Harry Truman in 1948. And Donald Trump is the first Republican to lose it in 72 years". How's that for humiliation! Maybe Trump will now learn not to insult dead war hero's!

Whoa! That is really good news. I’ve been reading your regular FACT BASED updates (thanks,) and each one, I’ve thought - “Yes, but what if Trump gets 85% of the remaining votes ..” Now, onto the next stage of the slow-motion crisis ..

It's a relief to see Arizona called, especially (because Trump) on the basis of incontrovertible evidence. Thanks Arizona and Maricopa County :)

Arizona secures the Presidency for Joe Biden (again)

Even if PA were to somehow be overturned, he is still at 270.

I made the mistake of logging in to my Nextdoor account today.
I've got to say, I'm shocked at the number of people who refuse to believe reality, are determined to proclaim that the election was stolen and there must be a re-do, and other worse misinformation relating to dark Soros money and chinese software etc.

(And then there's a whole other bunch of puerile misogynistic anti-Kamala / Joe has dementia stuff. Gross.)

Congrats on your vote making a difference!

So assuming that Biden retains his lead in Georgia after the recount, he'll be over 300 in the electoral college.

My Nextdoor group banned political posts a few months ago because it got so out of hand. Not even local politics is allowed now, although the local sheriff manages to get around it by sending out "official" police updates to make himself look good despite it looking like he is going to be kicked out for being a racist idiot.

I joined nextdoor when it was just for my neighbourhood, but at some point a whole group of neighbourhoods got merged into one group and now it covers half of the city.

Are the mods not deleting such posts? I played around on my Nextdoor in AZ for a while, and every 'political' post got deleted (eventually) as well as most 'wild' covid-19 related posts (anti-mask, mainly). I'm scared to log on now as I've been away from it for months ...

GA called for Biden (of course the recount will still happen, but anyway)

NC called for Trump.

So assuming that nothing changes, final EC count will be 306 - 232. A healthy win.

Which would be the exact same margin Trump won by in 2016.

Trump described that as a 'Massive Landslide Victory'
