^ Yep. The losing presidential candidate won the state in 1960, 1988 and 2000.

Nixon was the last Republican to win the state without winning the Presidency.

Counties to Watch:

Clark
• Located in the Las Vegas area, the county made up 68% of the overall vote in Nevada.
• Trump will need to gain at least 10,000 – 15,000 votes in this county to have a chance of winning Nevada.
• Some have suggested potential backlash against the Democrats due to the tourism and hospitality industry being affected by lockdown.
• If Biden wins the county by 80,000 votes, he should win the state.

Washoe
• Between Clark and Washoe counties, this makes up 86% of Nevada’s overall votes.
• Another county that Trump will be looking to flip in his favour after losing narrowly in 2016.

Rest of Nevada
• Trump will need to run up the rural counties by big margins as he did in 2016.

Based on early voting and modelled data from TargetSmart, Biden has an 88,000 vote lead in Clark, while Trump has a 7,000 vote lead in Washoe.

I'm glad I've got a day off work tomorrow so I can spend it following the election. I'll be watching the ABC coverage and keeping an eye on some of my favourite social media pundits. Can't believe it has been four years already, seems like only yesterday that the people at my work grew increasingly concerned as Trump started to win states which then progressed into outright disbelief when he got up and won. Who knows what tomorrow has in store? Looking forward to it.

I was on a betting site contemplating dropping a bundle on a Biden win. But then I started watching the Planet America special on The Drum and heard a few things that worried me out of it, particularly in regards to the battle ground states.

Senate Races

Current composition: Democratic 47, Republican 53

51 seats are needed for a majority.

Key races:
Arizona = Republican controlled
Georgia = Republican controlled
Iowa = Republican controlled
Maine = Republican controlled
Michigan = Democrat controlled
Minnesota = Democrat controlled
Montana = Republican controlled
North Carolina = Republican controlled
South Carolina = Republican controlled

Democrats are expected to gain a seat from Colorado.
Republicans are expected to gain a seat from Alabama.

Republicans have a lot more seats to defend, which tips the ledger in favour of Democrats to reclaim a majority.

My predictions:
Arizona = Democratic (flip)
Georgia = Republican
Iowa = Republican
Maine = Democratic (flip)
Michigan = Democratic
Minnesota = Democratic
Montana = Republican
North Carolina = Republican
South Carolina = Republican

Final result = Democratic 49-51 Republican

Democrats flip Colorado, Arizona and Maine
Republicans flip Alabama

But now you have decided to wait until the count is well and truly underway before making a prediction. Wise man.

The polls missed on Florida. Otherwise they got it by and large right once you average out the various polls.

The polls picked Biden to win: he won
The polls picked Biden to win Florida: he lost

Now to the state of Georgia. The issue here is that in early January there are two Senate seats up for grabs as neither candidate got over 50% of the vote. There is a law in Georgia whereby the top two candidates get to have an election ( no other candidates are permitted to contest).

Why does this matter? It matters because Biden needs to win both to make it 50 democrat senators v the current 50 republican senators to get legislation passed. The Vice President (Kemala Harris) gets the deciding vote.

The contest is between a sitting Trump lackey & lying scumbag v a Democrat of Jewish background where the Republican used anti Semitic imagery in the recent campaign and between a multi millionaire Republican woman v a black democrat pastor.

Biden needs to win both for a fairer USA

^ He does indeed need to, but my impression is that the Dems will be lucky to get one at most and will most likely lose both. Going to be a rough two years for Biden's presidency if so (with likely further Senate losses in 2022 – mid-terms are often brutal for first-term administrations, though the Republicans do have more seats to defend this time around).
