[FRIAM] election eve

[Frank Wimberly]

Nick,

See Glen's 270 to 267 estimate.  Biden may still win either Georgia or
Pennsylvania or both because of the Democrat majority that is likely among
the uncounted votes.  If any of that happens Biden wins with a margin.

But it's too close for relaxation.
