THE WING-NUTS WILL FUND THEIR ORACLES, YOU CAN BE SURE: The right wing will fund their oracles that's a given. We are told that we will always be without means, never know stability, never be able to provide. One more lie, after another. We know what to do with a budget. We know how to apply it, how to grow something of value to the community with it. Let's give them something to talk about. Thank you all sincerely. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

FOCUS: Nate Cohn | Biden Appears to Hold Edge in the Key Votes Left to Be Counted

Nate Cohn, The New York Times
Cohn writes: "Joe Biden looks to be on the cusp of winning the election. Here's a look at where the vote count stands in the key states."

Pennsylvania

President Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania has plummeted to two percentage points as of Thursday morning, as the mail absentee ballot count proceeded briskly across the state.

There is every indication that Mr. Biden remains on track to pull ahead when all of the votes are in and counted, whenever that may be.

So far, Mr. Biden has been winning absentee votes, 77 percent to 22 percent, according to the Pennsylvania secretary of state. At that pace, he needs only 288,000 more mail votes before taking the lead. By my count, there are about 500,000 mail ballots left. The secretary of state reported a total of 2.6 million absentee ballots cast as of Tuesday, and so far 2.1 million absentee votes have been counted. If Mr. Biden won those 500,000 ballots by the same 77-22 pace, he would end with a lead of about 100,000 votes in the state. That’s a pretty decent cushion.
