It's over. Biden wins. Michigan is arguably more likely to flip than Wisconsin.

100k lead with 90% votes in. No way.

Unless those are 100% Biden, it's irrelevant.

ME-2 votes for Trump, Democrat Congressman.

Not on the Guardian.

Georgia can still flip. Also, is this redemption already for Hilary?

Trump leads on Rhode Island.

Biden has a massive lead in Ohio.

I'm just waiting for the Vigo county so that I can go sleep.

Trump winning Virginia, Biden winning Georgia. Yeah, this mail voting is a mess.

Can you please share that website? CNN only has Trump and Biden listed, meh.

Trump leads Florida by 100k votes.

Meanwhile in the horse country...

CNN calls Indiana for Trump, after only 7% counted. Not even one city.

Time for Vermont to be called before the counting even starts!

Yeah, Lexington just came in.

Where are you getting that? CNN is showing something quite different.

The horse country has voted...

I believe the Kazakh jury resides in Prague these days? If so, that swap is unlikely. Also, it would be desirable to keep the team compositions intact if the swaps do occur.

What happens in this case?

mrv86: "Mind That the Lyrics Support the Tune" Mrv86 has hosted the TISC Finals twice (or thrice, if we count the Special Event), and has lead his nation to numerous notable placings, including a podium finish at the 2016 Open. Mexico, however, also holds an extraordinary voting record. They are the only jury who have, in 14 previous editions, awarded the maximum 12 points to 14 different nations! Can we therefore already exclude MAR, BRA, FRA, CHI, ARG, ESP, ITA, CRO, CAN, IRL, RUS, NED, ALG, AUS from the pool of potential gold medal winners...? Q: How do you go about evaluating TISC entries? Do you use a specific system when picking out your Top 12? A: I usually hear the songs individually a couple of times; from there I put them in a "mostly in" and a "mostly out", and listen to another couple of times; for each list, I select those songs which "grew" or "stayed" for another round and pick 16 entries, which then will be ranked and selected as Top 12 or reserves, which usually leaves me with a bittersweet feeling because I'd wish to award points to those sixteen. Q: And what about the maximum 12 points? Can you recognize it immediately? Or do you take a certain amount of time before deciding on it? A: I can say that rarely I know the winning song from the start, but most usually my eventual pick is in the top 4 from the beginning. The only exception, if I recall was "Onaj Dan" by Antonela Doko which managed to keep number one since I first listened to it. Q: Do you have a favorite music genre? Is there any genre you would like to hear more of on the TISC stage? A: Well, I do enjoy most musical genres, even if I'm a fool for pop and rock. I'd say they're a lot of genres that have never been performed at TISC, including most of Mexico's traditional music. Q: How important are lyrics to you? A: I have to admit that each edition that passes, I've put less focus on lyrics. However, I do actually try to pay as much attention to the content of a song, as I always mind that the lyrics support the tune, but most importantly that the vocal performance interprets and conveys the message of those lyrics. Q: And finally... How can we get 12 points from mrv86? A: There's no rule for that. All I can say to the other jurors when picking a song is avoid a terrible vocalist and anything that shows complete disrespect for anyone. Other than that, I just say I'm privileged to enjoy the entries of each edition, as they have let me know more about TISC participants and their countries. If mrv86's musical preferences still feel like a jigsaw puzzle - maybe this will help. Our resident Mexican juror has outlined the following entries as favorites during the most recent editions... Stay tuned for more user interviews to come, as we count down to TOISC 2020...

Many wonderful songs to choose from, so naturally I'll go with the Indecision. Shura - Indecision

hckosice: "More Guitars and Drums, Less Mainstream, Zero Rap" If Slovenia has mastered diversity, you may say Slovakia did so with consistency. Indeed, it may come as a surprise that hckosice's selections have earned between 56 and 64 points during 6 of the last 7 editions! Perhaps not the ideal points range, but plenty enough to sweep the Czechoslovak Trophy. For now. Hckosice summoned a special press-conference to discuss the Slovak voting patterns. What can we expect expect to see in Holland? Q: How do you go about evaluating TISC entries? Do you use a specific system when picking out your Top 12? A: On the mathematical principle. Joking obviously. Easy, the song I like the most will be my number one... But if there are two, then come to the mathematical principle... Joking again... Q: And what about the maximum 12 points? Can you recognize it immediately? Or do you take a certain amount of time before deciding on it? A: Again, it depends on editions. It already happened sometimes I had my 12 booked already during the 1st listening (special mention to The Cranberries). Still, many times I also had to do more listenings to decide about my twelve (I remember one edition when I was not decided about my number 1 until the very last time before the deadline). Q: Do you have a favorite music genre? Is there any genre you would like to hear more of on the TISC stage? A: Grunge, ska-punk, Hard rock. More guitars & drums, less mainstream and zero rap Q: How important are lyrics to you? A: Surely they are, but it is not the most important for me. Q: And finally... How can we get 12 points from hckosice? A: Basically easy, I'm from that weird little generation of the '90s. I grew up on a little harder music. So basically a few harder guitar sounds with some rhythmic drums should guarantee you excellent prospects... And if not, just write the correct IBAN. If hckosice's musical preferences still feel like a jigsaw puzzle - maybe this will help. Our resident tequila afficionado has outlined the following entriy as favorite during his TISC debut... Stay tuned for more user interviews to come, as we count down to TOISC 2020...

CNN is not updating yet it seems. But here it is... https://www.npr.org/2020/11/03/929737746/new-hampshire-live-election-results-2020?t=1604417522430

Trump leads in NH. It's 16-10, following the conclusion of voting in Dixville and Millsfield.
