Arizona updated and its 98% reporting, not called yet but its over in AZ. The ghost of John McCain might be the difference maker in this election.

California may consistently rate as one of the country's bluest, most progressive, most union-dominated states, but Tuesday's ballot initiative results show the state's voters are much more complex.
Voters appear to be embracing Proposition 22, which will allow ridesharing services like Lyft and Uber and food delivery services like Grubhub to continue to classify drivers as independent workers. With 55 percent of the vote counted, voters are approving Prop. 22 by 57.7 percent.
That's a huge blow to union-driven A.B. 5, a law that attempted to eliminate most freelance and contract work in the state and to force all employers to hire these contractors as workers and pay them benefits. The law has already been gutted with a host of exemptions. A.B. 5 was specifically designed to go after companies like Uber. Prop. 22's passage is a big thumb in the eye to the state's unions (and a boon to the state's many independent workers).
Voters are also rejecting Prop. 16, which would reinstate affirmative action in state government and college admissions. Supporters argued that this change would improve diversity in college admissions, but the data show that, in reality, California colleges have dramatically increased campus diversity without having to resort to affirmative action or quotas. Right now, 54.6 percent of voters are rejecting it.
Another big loser is yet another attempt to expand the use of rent control in the state. It seems like a lot of people in California understand that the problem with high rent in the state is due to a lack of housing supply which is driving costs up. Right now, 58.4 percent are voting no.

Three cheers for California!

My best guess as far as where popular vote will land. Biden 73-74 million Trump 69-70 million.

It looked very likely when the early vote was released all at once but I wanted to see how the day of voting was going to go. Ohio **** in my cheerios so trying to be cautious. And I am going by NY times calls, Fox News is one of the least credible of the major media when it comes to state calls imo.

270 - 267 isn't much of a mandate for change.

We know they will reflect properly this time and simply call their opponents even MOAR racist

Its a matter of how you frame it. Biden is going to get significantly more votes than anyone in US history and will mark the second the time he has been on a ticket that shattered voting records. They should tout the popular vote and how Republicans are a shrinking minority party only viable because of the Electoral college. Democrats got their voters out. Trump did a great job of getting his voters out. With such a high turnout we are getting the truest reflection of the country we have ever had in an election.
