Biden takes Wisconsin. Just 22 short of the 270 he needs to win.
This is getting spicy. The second state that voted Republican last time out to flip.
EDIT: Biden can win it with just Nevada and Michigan, two states that he is presently ahead in.

Iām still not getting my hopes up. Recounts / stopping counts etc.
They say if Biden wins itās likely to go on for another couple of weeks with recounts and challenges through the courts.
This has all been planned by Trumpās henchmen in the event they loseā¦the ground has been laid for the last year or more.
Thing is though the margins are so big that recounts wonāt do it.
They did a recount in Wisconsin in 2016. Trumpās vote went up by 113. He needs a swing of 20,000.
Letās not ignore his Supreme Court appointments though.
Iām sure they could find plenty of other āfraudsā
Looking at the numbers now. Biden has got to win those two states because it appears as if Trump is going to win the others.
It looks to all rest on Nevada. Plenty of votes still to count there. Very small margin. Less than 10k.
Confirmation
Weekend at Bernie Sandersā?
And so the Trump legal machine goes into action to influence the count. Fromm the BBC:
Posted at 20:3220:32
Donald Trumpās campaign says it is suing to halt vote count in the crucial state of Pennsylvania.
It is also mounting legal challenges in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The campaign accuses Democrat officials of forcing observers to stay 25 feet or more from the counting process, āleaving no meaningful way whatsoever for our observers to do their jobsā.
The Trump campaign team are currently sending out an e mail to supporters, as reported in some European media. This is crazy stuff when you think that vast numbers of his supporters believe that Trump is fighting a secret war against worldwide paedophilia by the 'elite, that Bidon and the Democrats are kidnapping children and draining their blood for their rituals, and other lunacy. Plus most of them are armed to the teeth. This is nothing less than a call to arms by Trump. Dangerous times ahead.
"WOW. We are WINNING like no one thought possible right now.
Despite the numbers that are obviously in favor of YOUR President, THE DEMOCRATS WILL TRY TO STEAL THIS ELECTION!
Just like I predicted from the start, mail-in ballots are leading to CHAOS like you“ve never seen, plain and simple! The Radical Left is going to do whatever it takes to try and rip a TRUMP-PENCE VICTORY away from you, and that“s why I“m coming to you now.
I need YOUR HELP to ensure we have the resources to protect the results. We can“t allow the Left-wing MOB to undermine our Election. I“m asking my fiercest and most loyal defenders, like YOU, to FIGHT BACK!"
Going to get very dirty and nasty now. A mob in Detroit trying to stop a count. Hammering home the false message that Trump has won and itās being āstolenā, when in fact legitimate votes are being counted. Declaring victory in PA when theyāre nowhere near winning. Suing everywhere to stop counting before Biden gets over the line. Legal action to disenfranchise voters who have legally cast votes. Inciting violence.
Itās amazing how motivated you can be when you are $1in in debt & face a zillion criminal court investigations
I can see he is a nasty piece of work, you can see it and a fuck-ton of people around the world and also in the USA, but he uses social media to push his (false) legitimacy to fuckwits and nobody else does anything but fold their arms, shake their heads and tutās
And a mass Twitter storm from the Trump camp and his supporters reinforcing the idea that heās already won and the counting of mail-in votes (which started late because Republicans took legal action to make sure it did yo allow the red mirage to build) is in fact new votes being manufactured fraudulently.
It is very dangerous territory, and if counting continues putting Biden past 270, theyāre capable of anything.
This is tremendous news, it looks like Trump is going to get blown away tonight, late votes coming in really do mean the US is changing, slowly but its changing in the right places to actually form a far more progressive Government going forward.
Its not great but where it counts and it could be enough to really build.
Hang on, itās only 10pm hereā¦
Michigan official, apparently.
Biden is on 264 if the other results are correct.
