I can't be bothered to find the math error, but Biden is currently shown at 248 with Wisconsin. NV + MI = 22, exactly enough to give him 270.
I think Ipecac believes Biden will lose his 1 electoral vote from Nebraska. I'm not sure how they calculate it, but atm. on Fox News it shows that 98.33% votes are counted and Biden still has it.
I think its a joke...

Albeit one that 2020 makes extremely believable.

Yes, I can't even tell the states apart.
Neither side is going to accept it if the other side wins, so I only have dark humour.

Biden is basically giving a victory speech right now. Didn't claim victory though, said that all votes will be counted first, but that they are confident they have enough votes to win.

Needs context, but definitely candidate for (what would be back-to-back) QotM.

2020 starts with a pandemic tracker and ends with an election litigation tracker. It really has been a special year.

A voter has cast his vote on time and yet, if the post, for whatever reason, does not deliver it in time, his vote is simply disregarded? I understand that at some point you have to cut-off, else no election will ever be over. But for example here in Germany you have a law (well regulation) which the postal service has to adhere to and which requires it to deliver 95% of letter mail in at most 2 days. They actually do 95% within one day (and close to 100% in two) - and even with alternative providers we had in my company a delivery quote of 99.96% within at most 4 days. I just don't understand why that is such a big problem in the USA, even though I understand the country is vastly bigger.
Also, if I understood correctly, the USPS is not even able to provide proof that they did deliver several hundred thousand ballots given to them - which seems completely crazy to me when at the same time some of this states are decided by a few thousand votes.
Also as our lovely postman already explained:

There's still two months left for more disasters. Covid's gonna make the comeback with a mutation. Then US ups it by a Civil War.

The difference between 269 and 270 is why it was a big deal when NE-2 was called for Biden (note that Maine also splits its vote by Congressional District, and Trump won one of those while losing the state).
Jowy, I think that's getting ahead of things. Us Americans are too fat and lazy for a civil war.. Note just how little Election Day violence there actually was. And it doesn't look like this election is going to be terribly close. It's nowhere near a 2008 or 1980 landslide (and the underperformance in the Senate/House is concerning), but this isn't 2000 where we genuinely didn't know until December who won (that type of outcome today probably would lead to a civil war). We'll know for nearly certain today or tomorrow that Biden has won.
