Nice, so Biden could reach 270 in 3 hours if Nevada is called.
We're in the middle of a pandemic. This was always going to take longer than usual due to the need to keep everyone safe.
There's no way the remaining states distribute in such a way that neither gets to 270, right?
Yeah, if NV is called blue, it will put him at exactly 270
Someone has to reach 270. Every state will have a winner, we are just counting votes still.
Hey, we take offense to that.
(Our elections are done by Election night :p)
OP
OP
blame republicans for PA and elsewhere they couldve let the counts come way earlier and be done like FL is but they let this crap drag out.
Called that one lol. Crazy people thought this was going to be some kind of victory announcement like 30 minutes before the counts will even resume lmao
Is Kamala generally more left than Biden? I feel like I know less about her than I should, but every time I learn something about her it seems like she's pretty centrist (and based on the left's general reaction to her being picked, not even close to being "more left than Bernie Sanders" lmao)
Trump wins.
The House picks the president. Each state's representatives vote as a solid block and each state gets one vote.
There's more Republican states then Democrats, so Trump wins.
The Senate picks the VP. The Republicans have the majority, so Pence wins.
All hell breaks loose in the country.
Here's the procedures.
That isn't what I'm saying at all. I don't buy that we are necessaruly so centrist, the policies poll very well independent of label, it's branding, moreso than an actual aversion to progressive policy. Now granted there is an aversion to progressive SOCIAL policy in wide swaths of the electorate, but we aren't just going to stop fighting for social equality. Something like abortion or gay marraige loses you alot more voters than Universal Healtcare or Free college, but it's still right to fight for both, and you aren't going to gain alot of voters by espousing conservative economics. Florida passed a 15 dollar minimum wage after all.
The funny thing is the Nevada guy was on TV last night stating if Trump wants to keep suing them go ahead, they've beat him every time.
They're waiting for postal votes which can be delivered up until that date.
The last person I want to hear from is the spouse of a pro wrestling company founder who may or may not have used his money to pay off a police department to stop looking into a murder one of his wrestlers committed.
Also she spent more money than anyone ever & lost elections.
a) Some states like PA were not allowed by Republican to count mail in ballot before election day
b) This year is a ridiculous number of turn out that most State don't have the infrastructure to count quick + COVID procedures
c) Most of the ballots this year are paper ballots due to mail in. Allot of States normally use touch screen. Bonus, paper ballots leave a paper trail, making it harder to fudge the numbers. This is important in state like Georgia where voter suppression tactics usually work
d) Our system is archaic and still stepped in procedure to keep voting hard for anyone but rich people
so theres 140k ish mail ins just from Philly that are yet to be coiunted. If the 65% Biden mail in ratio holds, he could almost eat up the lead just with Philly.
Just a waiting game now, which heavily favours Biden too. Not a bad set of circumstances at all. My eyes are on Georgia but it's just a matter of patience now.
For those who haven't had any rest, might as well rest up now and do the normal day to day shit you might've put off.
Nothing major is going to happen until later on. You can step away for the forum and Twitter and get some sleep. Slept for the first time properly in 2 days and came back to what it was like yesterday here in the U.K.thats how long it's just going to take.

I feel like this is the scene in Jurassic Park where the dude is like SHOOOOOT HERRRR where the velociraptor is Trump, the dude being dragged is America, and the bullet is one of these deciding states
The reason she's portrayed as leftist to the max is that her voting record is technically to the left of Bernie. Which is enough proof to people paranoid about that.
With what cash?
The blue states (hell even some GOP states!) HATE Trump and NY looks like they have charges ready to go. What bullying can he do? He's got no political power. He's going to send his flag waving followers to NYC to kill the AG?
Biden will have to pardon because his whole thing is healing. But the Fed charges died effectively with impeachment; its the local shit he's afraid of. And at the end of the day being so deep in debt, I dunno if the Trump donation machine can keep him afloat
Anything to calm my mind about Nevada?
Everything that's left to count are mail ballots? Those lean Dem (but Nevada sent them to all)

But isnt that with AZ as well? Which isnt being called till 9pm?
Honestly what affect would that even have?
I know it's bullshit but even if it wasn't how can you trace those ballots to those 10,000 people?
This is really really desperate.
look at what trump's doing today in NV. that should say everything.
He'll lose by more than that and the lawsuit will be as laughable as it is pointless.
Tiny update in GA, literally just 1,300 votes.
Sadly in trump's favour 702 to 652.

Election Night Reporting
So what's up with AZ? Know the gap was closing last night, but that it wasn't closing by enough to give fuckface much of a chance of making up the gap. That still where we stand?
Wow, things had been so quiet on Michigan that I hadn't realised how emphatically it had gone Biden.
I would love if Pennsylvania or Georgia could be called for Biden before this just to make the whole point even more moot.
NYT
" After saying earlier this AM there are fewer than 25K absentee ballots left, Georgia's secretary of state has corrected the number to the same count the data shows: About 50K left. That doesn't include provisionals, military and overseas ballots & ballots that are cured "
