Yeah. I guess the unsaid assumption is that 'Muricans wont look outside the US for news, which is broadly true, I think. | |

The BBC is state TV. They're very left when it comes to "diversity", ensuring wimmin's football is just called football, and making sure we know about multi coloured transpotatoes. But they're very right when it comes to sucking Tory dick. | |

I think we have a different concept of the connotations of the term "state TV." Yes, the BBC by a literal definition is state TV, and everyone knows that, but it's hardly a propaganda mouthpiece for the gov't. If it were, you would expect it to change its angle every time a new party comes into power, and it just stays pretty vanilla regardless. It's not like it went from being like a TV version of the Guardian to the Daily Mail the day after the Tories won in 2010. | |

Odds are wildly fluctuating. Trump has been as high as 10/1, but he's currently 5/1. From what I can tell, he needs Arizona or Nevada, and is behind in both, though NV is very close. Either that or he needs a favourable recount in WI, which seems optimistic. | |

I think Nevada might be close. There's also a chance Georgia flips to Biden. They seem to be excited about Pennsylvania but I don't see any way for the numbers to fall out in Biden's favour myself. Arizona pretty close to a lock. | |

Some agencies have called Arizona for Biden. If that holds, he's one more state from victory. NC+ GA likely Trump, it's all on PA and NV. I would have thought Trump's lead is just too much in PA, so NV seems the key state which will decide the winner. | |

The reason NV is very likely Biden and GA and PA could slide into his column is that the uncounted votes are almost entirely in large metros, Atlanta, Reno, Las Vegas, Philly-- and these lean heavily blue. | |

Edit: Normalised the decimal places. This wont' format right I'm sure, but here is AZ. Each row is a single county, in alphabetical order. | |

You can do a crude projection by extrapolating from the individual counties and assuming that the remaining votes in each county will be the same % Biden/Trump as the already-counted votes. Crude because they are mostly down to counting mail-in ballots now and these tend to lean more towards Biden than the walk-ins afaik. | |

The easiest way I would know to format that post is to do it in a spreadsheet, export to PDF, or screenshot it, then upload to imgur and post as an image. | |

Actually, I can post them here using spaces rather than tabs, then you can copy-paste them into excel, select row A and use text-to-columns with "space" as the delimiter. Should work. | |

If I were Rudy Guiliani I'd forget PA and get my ass down to Georgia, and rally the Trump truckers around those counting places. Biden's currently 115k behind in PA but only 14k behind in GA. | |

Unless there's something I don't know, I don't think anyone can see who shared a file when you go to file-share and then get the share link in the office.com excel. | |

They also do some weird things on the CNN site I'm using, like a county will decide they've actually counted 99% of the votes rather than 95% without counting any more votes. So there's some noise coming out of there too. | |

That could literally be one person thinking 1000/1, I'll bet five bucks, then someone sees someone bet on Harris and thinks "wtf does he know" and bets £20, and suddenly the people offering those odds get nervous, offer shorter odds instead, and then we have the illusion of action. | |

Yeah, betting lines as predictors are interesting, and can be useful, but as you've pointed out, it's important to understand how betting lines are set-- essentially it's another form of polling. Similar to polling, sample size is important, and also controlling for who chooses to participate. For example, I have a hunch that bettors skew to Trump supporters. | |

PA looks like it might finish pretty close as well. My flat projection now has it ending up as a 46k margin for Trump (earlier it was 60k), but everywhere that more votes have come in since earlier today, the %Biden is going up. must be all those mail-ins. | |

This does illustrate though why Trump would never be as big a threat as Hitler. Hitler at least managed to hire some competent people to do his bidding. Don't think anyone will get inspired to an act of "heroism" by listening to Don Jr. | |

It's kinda immaterial what the different news channels say, they have no authority in the matter. I don't know why anyone thinks it matterswhat they say. It's not like they get the information any faster than the rest of us. | |
