I wouldn't.

I do expect both to eventually go blue, but that's due to the numbers I see, not my assumptions about what PA and GA voters think/feel. Seems to me they're pretty different states.

It's a moot point in this election. However, it still could set a precedent if the Supreme court does decide to take the case and vote to retroactively invalid ballots that were cast legally according to the rules at the time. Trump thinks ACB is going to bail him out. She can't. I highly doubt the court will want to rule out at all in the first place. At the very least Barrett should recuse herself due to the personal nature of her nomination and the election of the president.
There is no need for ACB to recuse herself. Plus, with her representing herself as a strict constitutionalist, won’t rule based upon feelings or beliefs. Should it actually reach the US SC she would rule based upon precedent.

Your comment is ignorant.

GA came within 1 point of going blue for gov in 2018 and tons more people have moved to Atlanta since then.

There was a general shift to Ds of about 5-7 points in almost all states compared to 2016.

Trump barely won PA last time.

It's ridiculous to think that kind of a national shift in the electoral environment toward Ds wouldn't flip PA back considering the result last time, and considering that it is a state that has gone blue in recent presidential elections most years except for last time.

Not only delusional...

Ditto here in Pennsylvania. We could have been done with counting already had the Republican-led legislature given the go-ahead to start counting ballots earlier. Also, had Trump not so strongly encouraged his supporters to eschew mail-in ballots in favor of in-person voting there would have been more mail-in ballots with boxes checked in his favor. When Rick Santorum (ew) even says the very same thing that I just wrote and have had to explain repeatedly to those who either live out-of-state and/or are ignorant when it comes to how our state government works, a certain saying about broken clocks comes to mind...

Trump knew that this election was going to be a close one hence the concerted efforts that began months ago to plant the seeds of doubt in the electoral process. Keeping his mouth shut and his hands away from the Twitter feed would have gone a long way towards securing his reelection, but he seems to be incapable of wisely refraining from either when appropriate.

Lots of states moved several points red. Biden lost 11 points in New York!!! He won by 12 points instead of 23. Florida shifted from a 1.2 point win to 3.3. The % difference in popular vote is about the same as last time with both parties picking up a couple points from 3rd parties.
Clinton was a senator in NY and lived in Manhattan. That shouldn't surprise anyone. Votes are also still being counted.

NY and CA are not even close to finished with counting. Too early to say what the margin will be there.

And no the percent in the popular vote will not be the same as last time.

Biden will win by 4 to 5 points.
