For those still worried about what's gonna happen here's how I see it. Currently it's looking like the election will come down to recounts and possibly lawsuits recounting ballots in Michigan and Georgia as well as Nevada. That's gonna take some time so don't expect this to be over by friday even. If it goes this way Trump has a tough scenario where he needs to either ask them to count every ballot, which will take a lot longer, or do it as fast as possible so we can get a result. He can't have it both ways.

The best case scenario for Biden requires him to win all remaining states. He can afford to lose Georgia but not single state more. Trump on the hand has an uphill battle as well. He needs to secure Georgia and one more state, or a mixture of remaining states for 19 votes, that doesn't include Nevada which almost appears meaningless currently. The way it currently stands is that neither candidate has an election that will land on their lap. Whoever flips the most states will win. The most likely scenario however, is that no one will have enough to win and the margins in tossup states are so close that even if a winner is declared no one is going to be conceding until the lawsuits are done and recounts made.

I think this is a very real possibility that we’re going to be fighting this one for a while. Thanks for sharing your analysis.
