    Well, it doesn't look like 1 or 2 faithless voters would matter. Even if it did, we already have a Supreme Court ruling against them. So not a likely avenue for Trump. It looks like a 306/232 win. That is well outside the range of faithless voters being an issue. It is also too much to close with litigation.

    CNN now reporting a block of about 20k votes from Philly will be pushed in about 10-15 minutes.

    What’s the standing vote deficit between trump and Biden there, still?

    I know it looks good for Biden there, but I’ll be a lot more sure when he actually overtakes trump, rather than “being projected to overtake him.”

    18k or so.

    20k won't flip it, but it'll bring it down to almost nothing.

    It would be more like 6k. At 80/20, Biden only picks up 60% of the total against the difference.

    More than that, there should still be well over 100k ballots left to count (if not 200K).

    It's not a 90/10 trend in Philly?

    There are another 30k left in Philly after that 20k, but another 150k or so left across PA.
