I'm starting to see a fairly consistent result among most sources having Biden between 224-238 and Trump 213 with Trump leading most of the undecided electoral votes and that differs on where they are thinking AZ breaks.

Trumps conference should reinforce why he should have never got there in the first place.

America will hurt for a while after this, as some way to go to restore respect, but more importantly for them they really need to sort out their domestic issues.

Im also OK with giving China some stick, when its done right.

Many TV chanels taken up by the US election.

I want Trump to win, but I feel the other chap will just scrape in.

Have taken a passing interest in the way they do things over there. The money being spent promoting each party is mind boggling.

White house surrounded by fences with armed security, shops ordered to board up in case there is rioting..

May not get a result in several days due to postal votes.

True to American form, Trump is threatening litigation because he us upset about the dragged out process.

It’s a dream for insomniacs here. The incremental tallying.

Coincidence that fuel prices at the pump have jumped heavily?

Well I'm pulling an all nighter in the CBD and as it's mid week there are no drunks to keep me entertained.

Biden at 238 vs Trump at 213.

No idea what the numbers mean but I assume more is better

I have no real clue who Bernie is however he seems to be quite intelligent and was correct about Trumps future antics.

He was also not fooled by Sacha Baron Cohen when interviewed on Who is America.

God gave America a hint through nature, but they completely ignored it. A sparrow flew and sat on Bernie's podium during his candidate speech. Not a fly. Bernie is a good guy, but his socialist agenda was never going to make it in that society.

This stuff is just insane...

Concerns for riots, legal challenges, verbal slinging matches back and fourth, declaring victory before the announcement...

How 'The leader of the free world' is chosen sends a shiver down my spine.

Its entertaining for the rest of the world but this is possibly the worse outcome for Americans. A close contest, means it will likely get ugly. Starts with old men talking and we know what comes next.

Have been flipping between Fox News and CNN, two stations with very polarising views, and its good to see their panel being quite neutral in their language rather than trying to stoke the fire.

Good luck to our Murican members and stay safe. I've asked my family there to keep the tank full and be ready to make a dash over the Canadian border.

Just heard. Protests starting outside the counting centres. But they look pretty small and "innocent" for now. Wasn't Michigan the state that had all the armed protesters storming the capitol, and where there was a plot to kidnap the governor?

Also a bit of a wake up to the world, this is the "true" and "free" democracy? All depends on your perspective and agenda I guess.

Looking like Dems get the house and Repubs get the Senate.

So democracy will be the winner when the bellyaching is over.

I don’t care about Joe, I’m Australian 👍

I know that clown in Office right now is a Sociopath, a Narcissist, and has no Empathy for anyone (including his countrymen).

BTW: You can use Caps to start your sentences if you like 👍

This all reminds me of the Movie “Downfall”. That is about another Sociopath, and it ended pretty badly.

If Trump was all that good as he made out to be he would certainly have certainly romped in on this election.
In reality the voters have wised up to the con man he is in this election.

**** me dead. Now you have Sky suggesting that the polls have the effect of suppressing the vote because the lead is so big so why bother lining up.

Which could happen but they also have been banging on constantly saying Trump is going to win because the polls are wrong! Which is it?

Pretty sure he was saying it was rigged when he was just leading early on

Ohio (and to a lesser extent Florida) have been the deciding states in times past..
Trump has virtually nailed Florida and leads in Ohio...
interesting statistic....

“Ohio voters can boast that they have been particularly adept at picking the winning presidential candidate. Since 1944, in every race but one – the 1960 contest between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy – Ohioans have chosen the winner. After picking Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, they voted for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by eight points in 2016. This time, President Trump has won in Ohio again.”
