I agree. However, you missed the single elector Biden gets from Nebraska, because Nebraska apportions electors based on state districts won by each candidate. Biden got one of those.

I accounted for Nebraska and also Maine. Trump gets one from Maine to offset Biden's single vote from Nebraska. The count I have right now is 270/268.

Based on my count right now, Biden has 270 electoral votes to Trump's 268. Biden currently has an 8000 vote lead over Trump in Nevada. Nevada has enough electors to change the results as of now and is the most likely "ground zero" for a recount. If there was any place in the US prime for a challenge it is Nevada.

While I believe Biden likely ends up winning Nevada; I still am not ready to call Georgia, Pennsylvania, or even North Carolina. Unfortunately, we likely won't know the winner of Pennsylvania until Friday, or the winner of North Carolina until next week.

No, counting the Nebraska vote, if the remaining states go as trending, Biden ends with 271.

270. One of the four Maine electors goes to Trump.

There is no "trade off" or "cancellation" of electors. Biden got three of Maine's electors, Trump got one. Biden got one of Nebraska's electors, Trump got four.

But the electors don't cancel each other out. They all go to the candidates' tallies.

I'll just refer you to CNN and Fox News, who both show that if Biden wins both Arizona and Nevada, he'll have exactly 270 electors. (And Fox already projects Biden winning Arizona.)

Lawsuit filed. I knew these mail in votes would be a problem. I do find it strange that Trump was leading in multiple states when I went to bed last night and it looked like he had a pretty good chance of winning, then all the sudden today, after the mail in votes get counted, Biden slips ahead of Trump in those multiple states and wins them. Trumps chances of winning now look very slim. Sounds fishy to me, but whatever. God is always in control. His will be done, regardless of who wins the election.

It has been known for years that Democrats vote by mail far more than Republicans for years. Even Trump knew this and tried to delay mail in states that require delivery on or close to election day. A despicable act.

Now he is trying to act as if the mail in ballots indicate fraud when they run against hom. DOH!

So nothing was learned? No fail safes were deployed for 2020?

Anyone who supports Trump believed the mail-in ballots were prone to fraud. We all said the election would go to court because millions of extra votes would just miraculously appear. Trump has always fully intended to trap the cheaters in the courts. It's going to be fun... the fish is so determined it has got away, it doesn't notice the hook in its mouth, nor the spooling line being let out attached to a reel and poll back on land.

They didn't find any significant problems in mailed ballots from 2016. Nothing needed any new "fail safes."

Anyone who supports Trump believed the mail-in ballots were prone to fraud.

A lot of the people who support Trump also believe covid-19 is a hoax, nobody was killed at Sandy Hook, and the earth is flat.

What, in your opinion, is to happen to those 'ballots' that are on the wrong paper stock, having the incorrect security features? How do you think that should be handled in a court of law?

People are ready to undermine the republic itself on a hail mary blizzard of lies, if thats what they think it takes to preserve their party's prospects.

There will be a cost to ending our long and fruitful tradition of a peaceful and acknowledged transfer of power.

As we are witnessing due to the lack of a peaceful transfer of power in 2016.

What?

Pretty much everyone acknowledged Trump as the genuine winner of the election. Many looked forward to a day when we dismantle the electoral college. But Trump was seen as the legally legit president all around by the rules we have.

There were no stupid lawsuits and only one recount demanded.... and that was by the Green party candidate.

Was there a rebellion in 2016 that I missed? Did the Army have to lay siege to the White House to pry Obama out of it?

Wait, here is a picture of Obama standing right there at Trump's inauguration. He does not appear to be in handcuffs.
