So if the OP tallies are correct, then hot damn! The last 3 Philly updates on the city's election site has held with Biden getting 80% to 45's 19% of the mail-ins, so assuming 50K, that would mean about 40K more for Biden and it would definitely flip the switch. ETA to Philly's count here - https://results.philadelphiavotes.com/ResultsSW.aspx?type=FED&map=CTY
What is frickin' amazing - and I hope it holds is this (screenshot from a couple hours ago form NYT) -
And THIS is how it transpired in 2016
For Biden to pick up enough in 2 counties (Erie and Monroe) to swing each back to blue, then THAT is a big f'in deal and gets a big WOOHOO from me!!!

(26,044 posts)I posted that comment, and it was with the understanding that Philly was processing 13K ballots per hour, which is what they said theyd been doing earlier. If they had still been doing that many, gaining only 3-4K each hour would be indicate that Bidens percentage had gone down a lot, whereas it seems about the same or better with the actual smaller count.

(6,477 posts)which may even be larger in Philly than in Lehigh or Delco.

(6,477 posts)Biden took about 85% of the batch.

So they are only processing about 1500 an hour, give or take.
