On a day of electoral uncertainty and legal action, Joe Biden won Wisconsin and Michigan on Wednesday, reclaiming a key part of the “blue wall” that slipped away from Democrats four years ago and narrowing President Donald Trump’s pathway to reelection.
A full day after Election Day, neither candidate had cleared the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. Margins remained tight in several fiercely contested states including the Great Lakes battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. But Biden’s victory in Wisconsin loomed as an important step to the presidency.
The Associated Press called Wisconsin for Biden after election officials in the state said all outstanding ballots had been counted, save for a few hundred in one township and an expected small number of provisional votes.
Trump’s campaign requested a recount. Statewide recounts in Wisconsin have historically changed the vote tally by only a few hundred votes; Biden led by 0.624 percentage point out of nearly 3.3 million ballots counted.
Meanwhile, CNN called Michigan at around 4:30PM on Wednesday afternoon.
It was unclear when or how quickly a national winner could be determined after a long, bitter campaign dominated by the coronavirus and its effects on Americans and the national economy. But Biden’s possible pathways to the White House were expanding rapidly.

Pray and give tzdakah. It’s not simple.
There’s one word to explain the other side.

The yad hashem guiding is literally open to see, Making a game out of democracy here and the whole world over and over in the last few elections To show how we isn’t total control of everything, not trump and not Biden, but only Hashem
Outof 150 million votes he arranges that there is such a tiny difference that it will be a lfight for weeks! so everyone wake up and see who is controlling everything
Trump needs to win Nevada.
There are uncounted votes that are legal just not counted. The Trump campaign at the insistence of Trump himself is casting doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
I suspect that Biden will reach 270 electoral votes w/o Pennsylvania (where he has a roughly 50/50 chance of overcoming Trump’s lead). I was never a real believer in Sam Klein but will never again question his Shitah about hashem controlling everything that happens in the world, sometimes in ways we don’t understand. If Trump wants to preserve a scintilla of historic legitimacy, he might just tell Rudy G. to stand down (and shutup) and allow the vote counts to be completed. He may still win, but as Sam would say, “its all in the hands of Hashem”.
Around 4am last night a major dump of ballots ALL for Biden happened in Wisconsin while we slept. Michigan too. Trump clearly won them and the election. AP news and the rest of MSM are trying to convince us biden won. Trump must not let them get away with this! Keep davening raboisay!!!
If chas v’shalom R’ Donald loses, then we will all need to say like R’ Akiva – gam zu letovah.
In the great scheme of things….Whatever Hashem does is for the best!
Wisconsin and Michigan were NOT won by BIDEN they were robbed by the Democrats who FOUND 100k + in each place we’re 100% went to BIDEN and 0 to TRUMP.
PA the same, TRUMP was up 700k last night, they officially STOPPED COUNTING, yet this morning BIDEN was only behind about 300k
You do the math!
Last night AMERICA WAS ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT and the MEDIA and the Democrats make it seem there is NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Biden will heal America. He is unlike Trump who spreads conspiracy theories and baselessly propagates falsehoods. This is great news for the country and democracy. It is morning in America again.
Regardless, the president can drag this out until Jan 20, 2021 if Biden receives 270 EC votes.
the democrats learned from the 2016 fiasco and are making sure that there will be enough ballots turning up cast for biden, and you re-count them all you want. we are dealing with lavans par exelance. There was a test of this mid term and they flipped a few races that way. Our only hope is that H will destroy their evil plans once again.

I disagree why should Guliani stand down? If it were the other way the Democrats would also go to court. But here there is a bigger issue. Every sane person except the democrats knew that just sending out ballots to all registered voters is asking for problems. You’re having an honor system that only the person on the register is returning it. Secondly, as the president and other allege that some of these ballots are being used to prop up Bidens numbers. I also had this question last night when I saw Michigan change from Trump to Biden. Something didn’t add up. (Excuse the pun.)
For ah yid and others who are unaware. People who live in Eretz Yisroel do not register to vote. Each citizen is sent a ballot card, and on election day goes to a polling station listed on their card. They show ID (a driver’s license, passport, or regular tz id card) pick a ballot put it into an envelope and that’s it! The day is always federal holiday, so most people can easily vote. This simple process does not seem to be “asking for problems” and I don’t think there is rampant fraud. It’s a fairly low-tech simple process that seems to work well.
Republicans baseless claims are sickening. The leadership in the party undermines democracy by baselessly propogating falsehoods. They know they can never win the majority of the vote and there only hope is to seize control through minorities in the electoral college and Senate. On top of that they seek to make voting harder and when people vote they seek to disqualify the vote. If all that doesnt work these immoral people yell fraud to rile up their massesm
Agreed 100% with crazykanoiy. Don’t believe the propaganda. Biden presidency will not mean socialism. But what IS probably scarier than socialism is living in a country where the leader can throw out our votes and sow doubt into our elections. Ah Yid: democrats would not sue in this situation. Proof is Hillary lost some really close races. Surely she could have manufactured some argument if she wanted to. Nothing suspicious here: the sudden changes favoring Biden were only because they had started counting the mail-ins from large democratic cities. Trump is already entitled to invoke each state’s recounting rules, no lawsuit is called for. Remember: republicans champion states’ rights, so why not respect state laws on when to count ballots? Ironic.
@er
It will not be a biden presidency, it would be an obama/kamala/biden wife presidency, biden is mentally incompetent.
It will not be socialism, it will be fascism and terrorism unabated, and this is what you and those like you propagandize for on this site.
Democrats had successfully flipped races in the after hours by “finding” boxes of ballots in local races and now this scam has gone national.
They certainly had learned from the mistakes they made in 2016, complacent no more, the 4 years of “resistance” is culminating in a grand steal.
