What are the timescales for a winner to be declared?

Will it be another couple of days or today?

whoever wins two of Michigan, Pensylvania and Wisconsin will win I think
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If Biden flips Georgia (looking unlikely) then he only needs to win 1 of the above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t think he’ll do Pennsylvania either 1.8m votes to count
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, Biden would need about 1.3m of those for it to flip
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah. So it’s looking like Mich & Wisc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, to contradict myself - Georgia is still a slim possibility. There are about 250k votes to be counted but it appears that Atlanta is the only area with not firmly declared and Atlantic is usually heavy blue. Outside chance.

I read somewhere that might not be before Friday for one of the states (maybe PA?)

Trump is a petulant child this fraud accusation is just revenge for the Russian accusations when he won in 2016.
He’s doing the same thing just in typical Trump style it’s OTT and ridiculous.

More people have now voted for Biden than Obama in 2012.

If he loses it looks like once again Den's will win the popular vote.

Looking like a Trump victory then?

He's covering himself in case he loses. Don't know why he went in so hard already when he's still likely to win

In PA, Allegheny County has announced that it has suspended counting until after 10am. The county, which includes Pittsburgh and its environs, is the most populous in the state, and has twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans. Almost 150K ballots have yet to be counted.

PA is on pause

Do people think that the way the America is run and the direction they are going, will change dramatically if Trump/Biden win?

Same with Tory/Labour in the UK.

Or do you think the politicians are puppets putting on a show for us so we feel like we have some say in the matter?

Its mad. The republicans have only won 1 popular vote since the 80s yet could be on course for their 4th presidency. Just goes to show how undemocratic the electoral college system is.

I'm not too clued up on American politics, but I don't really see the point of it when the losers can take the senate anyway? Might as well just do it based on the popular vote

How does it drag on for days? What's the hold up in certain states with counting, when you have the likes of Texas etc that have finished already?

Because of mail in ballots, and some states saying they can still count mail in ballots for days after the election. So the close states won't be able to call it yet

Another way of looking at it it has only happened twice going back to the 19th century that a President has won an election without also winning the popular vote

2000 & 2016 then 1888.

The odds on Georgia to flip blue are seriously shortening. The scenes

And this year if Trump wins. So potentially half of the elections in this century and always to the benefit of one party. As I said, undemocratic.

For Pennsylvania specifically, the republican led legislature refused to allow them to start counting the mail-in votes before the physical polls closed.

Al Murray always used to say "where would you be without rules"...

France

Guess he was wrong
