Fair enough. There really has not been a shift though. If you break down this election along with the last five going back to the year 2000 the patterns are kind of similar. 2008 and 2012 might be exceptions but Obama was a particularly strong candidate. Otherwise were the candidates have been evenly matched what states and what counties voted what way appears quite predictable 

You're still confusing blue shift with blue wave.

Looking right now Biden has won just over half the percentage of votes and leads by over 2.5 million. Both have at a few million more than they did in 2016 as well.

Why hasn't NC been updated in ages? Mail-in ballots?

Apparently Wisconsin is reporting more votes in their results then we’re actually cast.

They have some grey logic behind how they mark mail in and early votes, which they are currently counting. Considering that all but two of their counties report 100% of votes counted and those two which have still votes uncounted have less than 10k votes uncounted, but they report that ~5% of total votes have not yet counted.

I do not think there would be such a stir now, if this lead would errode over time and as in case of these pictures, whenever one got some votes the other got some as well, you can see the jumps for both. 

What is a cause for a reaction is both the timing and the ratio of these sudden increases, which affected the balance in Biden's favor. 

You will really need to come up with some really good explanation for that (100k+ votes 100% in favor of one person counted in at around 5AM in the highly contested areas) , and I do not think you will be able to calm a lot of these people.

This is gonna get ugly. If the president refuses to leave, who takes him out? The police? The military?

Some group that can scale the unscalable fence he had erected around the white house, I suppose.

Well he'll have to go golfing some time.  Then they just change the locks.   But if he loses, his authority has an end date so.

Everyone just laughs at the silly jackass in plans a transition without him. Hell his own party won’t even support him then.

Trump loses, but refuses to concede. He steps down. President Pence concedes, then pardons Trump. President Biden is sworn in 1/20/21.

I'm assuming you're referring to Nixon?

Interesting...

lol. Who's "they"?

If some network called WI for Trump, then it's on the internet somewhere. AP sure didn't do it.

Yes. Unless you can think of another president who resigned and left town with a pardon from his replacement

Regardless of who wins, the outcome will undoubtedly be contested. Good, let the chaos ensue and let it occupy the minds of prospective AMD Ryzen buyers for the next couple days. Y'all don't need to buy a processor tomorrow, the fate of the free world is at stake! Go out and protest or blog or whatever. :-
