Meanwhile, the Biden campaign is analyzing the same early voting data of individual voters available to me. They are merrily scratching names off their target universe and re-concentrating their efforts onto voters they want to vote who haven’t participated yet. This means that Biden is able to more effectively use the money he has.

Trump is putting his eggs into the Election Day basket, and that is risky. It is not unheard of for bad weather to happen on Election Day – a snowstorm, rain, or even a tropical disturbance. Bad weather is known to depress turnout. There will be fewer polling locations because of COVID, so Election Day lines could be unusually long and miserable to stand in with bad weather. A COVID issue could unexpectedly shutter an election office or polling location, creating last minute chaos.

Again, maybe Republican start voting in-person over the next two weeks. If I were running a campaign, I’d much prefer to be the one where I’ve already banked millions of votes more than my opponent.

Most states can’t count votes until Election Day morning. Some are allowed to process the votes which speeds things up. AZ, FL, OH, and NC allow processing or early counting. So we could get their total results before 11PM on Election Day.
And I mentioned yesterday, with most of the votes already being in early or absentee, that should give the workers more time to concentrate on processing them with less actual Election Day turn out (assumed).

I think we may be surprised and have more stone cold numbers in by midnight than we think and potentially could already have a winner.

The three states that we will likely not know the results on election night is Wisconsin, PA and Michigan. Out side of those three the other swing states we will know the results by 11pm election night.

Crazy thing is, even if we don't know what happens with PA, MI, and WI on election day, Biden might still win on 11/3 if he takes Florida & NC

Regardless of the polling surveys, I'll be cautious about how the votes get out and such. I'm sure it's far closer than it looks with the middle of nowhere and smaller town conservative places.

This lifted my spirits a little.

Looks like NC is in the bag for Biden
