Mississippi has voted to replace its flag from the confederate symbol.
Good on them. At least, that's "some" progress.
I checked it on 270towin
The Washington Post interpretation or the voting leaves Biden with 270 exactly, and Trump with 268.
Most others are similar though they are less willing to bet on the outcomes of some states.
Wining the EC by 2 points isn't good. All it would take is a few unfaithful electors to switch their votes. Plus Trump is going to pushing this up to the SCOTUS, coming up with any kind of crazy argument to prove he won and Biden didn't.
Now, if just one more state went with Biden over Trump, that would clinch it.

So, after this gets certified and Biden eeks out a win I'm likely just going to stay in my house until after the inauguration.
I'm not trying to be a victim of a hate crime, which will definitely go up during the lame duck session.

Well Florida has traditionally been the key swing state, but polls were starting to show that Trump had it locked down.
I agree with you that the rust belt states are the key though, it's looking razor thin in Michigan, though I expect mail in ballots favour the Democrats at this point.
All that being said, I'm pleasantly surprised that Biden may have flipped Arizona, it might end up being the story of the election.

So if Biden wins, gee that's great, but the fact that America did not make a grand refutation of Trump's bullshit is disheartening to say the least.
Be safe the next few days (at least) those of you, who may be more vulnerable, depending on where you live, and who you are. No matter who wins, things have a potential to get nasty out there.
The courts won’t matter. 2000 was a recount issue. Biden won’t need a recount. Trump will be begging for one and the precedents in a lot of those were set with Bush v. Gore. So ironically having a court stacked with people on that case probably helps Biden lol
The thing with Trump is I don't even think he really wants to be President. He just loves the attention and admiration being President brings him. There probably wasn't anyone more surprised he won in 2016 than him.
The other thing is I think he hates losing. He sees this as the ultimate popularity contest or competition, which is why I think he's been planting the "voter fraud" argument for the last couple of months now. Even if he loses ultimately he can always claim the election was rigged and people will believe him.
Having said that, again because he appeals to the extreme right wing and doesn't adhere to the PC movement, there's a large sect of America that loves him. I also think there were people who were worried that a Biden Presidency would bring about national enforcement of Covid-19 protocols, which many states (such as Florida) aren't wanting to do.
