Biden Lead In Arizona Drops To Under 15K Votes: Election Results

ARIZONA — Former Vice President Joe Biden is now the president-elect, but Arizona's vote count is still underway and will likely finish mid-week. With every new batch of results, Biden's lead against President Donald Trump narrows.

A new batch of votes from Maricopa County released Monday night puts Biden below 15,000 votes in his bid to win Arizona's 11 Electoral College votes. The race has already been called in the state by two news outlets — Fox News and The Associated Press. The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit in Arizona, alleging that Maricopa County votes were "incorrectly rejected." The lawsuit is part of a broader strategy by the campaign file litigation to try and have votes discarded while alleging voter fraud. There are no credible claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Lawsuits filed by the campaign in Michigan and Georgia have already been thrown out.

As of the last release of results at 4 p.m. Sunday, the county still had about 38,000 ballots to count, including about 22,000 early ballots and about 16,000 provisional ballots, the Arizona Republic estimated. The deadline for voters to fix any issues with signature verification is Tuesday at 5 p.m.

73% favorable? That’s what he needs to pull this out.

People it’s not difficult math.

There is a Lead of X votes. There are Y votes remaining. Some of those go favorable and some unfavorable.

You divide X by Y. You get a number, Z. In this case 14,700 lead divided by 61,000 = 0.24.

Divide .24 in half and you have 0.12. 50% + 12% = 62% favorable, 50% - 12% = 38% unfavorable.

That is the required mix to win, 62/38.

People misunderstand the concept of conceding. Legally, conceding is meaningless. Conceding demonstrates graciousness and good manners and no more. That’s it - there is no legal manifestations of conceding. Many candidates have conceded only to discover days later, they have won when all the votes are counted. Guess what? They are the winner and not the one who was ahead at the time of concession. It’s happened this year. The winner is the one with the most votes and conceding or not conceding is 100% irrelevant,

Redoing my recalculations, he would need about 62%. Not as steep a percentage, but still a challenge.

CNN just pulled Arizona and Georgia from Biden.

RCP pulled Pennsylvania

This will be better than election night 2016.

Are the provisional ballots the ones that were handed to the senior voters to replace the valid ballots that they brought with them to drop off in person?

If so, they’re going to be flushed, as these voters weren’t told they needed to come back with information to have them accepted. These bring-ins are probably Trumpies who decided not to trust the mail.

The AZ election has a whiff of sulphur to it, with all of the oddities going on: sharpies, provisionals used, rigged software, and back-ally communication to FOX.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is now the president-elect


Not remotely. Perhaps the presumptive, but not only has the Electoral College not met, neither the Electoral slates have been confirmed, not the election in any state certified.
