The Biden Blowout seems to be off the menu.
The NY Times is NOT doing their National Needle, which freaked out Democrats in 2016 as it swung inexorably from a 90% chance for Hillary to a 100% chance for Trump. This year there are too many problems due to huge absentee voting.
However, they have needles for three key states where the absentee voting can be counted and analyzed: FL, GA, and NC.
If Trump sweeps, we're probably in for a long couple of days. If Biden picks up one or two, Trump's path to victory gets very narrow.
Over the last couple of hours the odds of a Trump sweep have risen from 40% to 80%. VERY 2016 vibe.
And:
Red Tsunami en route. Enjoy your low taxes, TM. :)

Trump now has a 5-point lead in Texas. That's pretty solid, it might change a point either way by the end of the night.
Trump, a former NY liberal, has been very popular in rural and West Texas. His support in the red areas of Texas has always been rock solid. Drive out in any direction (but south) from Austin and you'd see Trump signs all along the road, large hay bale Trump signs, the works. Texas was never really in doubt.
A better belweather of the state is Cornyn's senate race. He's winning easily over the Democrats' flavor of the month by about 9 points at the moment. Republicans do have some growing issues in the cities and the counties of suburbia that ring around the cities. They'll have to reclaim those to shore up their long-term fortunes in Texas. But 2020 was never going to be much of a fight.

Well this is interesting. In Florida-26 Republicans picked off a Dem incumbent. Carlos Gimenez (R) knocked off Debbie Murcasel-Powell (D), who has to have the most posh name of any pol on the scene this year.
Anyway, Trump's GOP remains the worst racist party ever, sending a black conservative and now a Latino conservative to the House, both from Florida.
“Today was a rejection of extremism, today was a rejection of partisanship and today was a rejection of socialism,” said Gimenez. “This country needs to start to work together because it has threats both inside and outside.”
He added, “I’m going to work with Congress to bring solutions, to bring results.”

Can we consider it truly in play? If so, it means that the pollsters et al still do not understand who and where Trump's voters are, and that they're still extrapolating their projections from outdated voter profiles and assumptions.
