it has been another extraordinary
election if you weren't able to follow
it in real time i'm going to take you
through it
step by step and show you the pivotal
moments through the race so we're going
to start at nine o'clock
east coast time and things are looking
pretty routine at this moment in time
the deep south states are filling in red
new york again in the blue column 29
electoral college votes going
to joe biden let's move the clock on and
one of our first battleground states
turns blue new hampshire
where the president had campaigned goes
heavily for joe biden
four electoral college votes in the blue
camp
we'll move it on again and ohio is
starting to point us
on the direction the night is going 14
times in consecutive elections the last
14 times ohio has called it right going
all the way back
to president nixon will they call it
right tonight
we'll move our clock on again we've been
watching florida it was on a knife edge
all night
at half past midnight east coast time
they finally called it
for donald trump there's evidence there
that he got out the latino va
there's also evidence that the democrats
didn't manage to get out their base
in places like miami-dade we'll move the
clock on again
it's now 10 to 1 east coast time iowa
which went
for donald trump by 10 points in 2016
safely in the red column
and then a huge sigh of relief at
republican hq
as texas goes red not in
the same sort of way that it went red in
2016 but enough for donald trump and the
extraordinary story of the night in
texas was the turnout 2.7 million
extra votes on those that count that
voted in 2016.
we'll move the clock on again it is now
half past one
and minnesota the story of 2016 was that
minnesota only went for hillary clinton
by
44 000 votes it's gone blue much more
heavily tonight was that
the george floyd story up there in
minnesota was that what swayed the
democrats and persuaded them to come
out and also little forgotten
nebraska two a congressional district
that has one
electoral college vote so important in
this race you will have to consider that
because
if joe biden wins arizona if he holds on
to nevada
it means that he only needs wisconsin
and michigan he doesn't need
pennsylvania
north carolina or georgia because he has
that one
electoral college vote there in nebraska
too which will get him
to the 270 mark
