2020 Presidential Election thread

I think you’d be 269-269, assuming all else held as is now.

If Biden only got GA, this is correct. Then Trump wins the tie-break.

Correct

Wait. What are you actually asking? If Trump wins AZ and NV, but Biden wins GA and PA, Biden wins. 

This presser from Trump is going to be terrifying.

He sounds defeated. Like even he knows what he is saying is ridiculous.

The fact that he’s actually reading from a prepared speech is even scarier. He’s not just spouting off. 

This truly is 25th Amendment stuff.

That was my first thought. It’s time Nancy.

If he’s Lame Duck, might actually have a chance. 

Arizona might flip back to Trump. But Georgia and Pennsylvania are headed to flip Biden by the end of the night. 

Everything about this is very irritating.

I understand % can swing wildly between certain districts, but for the past day and half it sure as hell didn't look like there were enough ballots left in GA for Biden to win.  But seems like he's getting damn near 80%, and they keep finding more ballots.

Crazy thing, though, I think the absentee and military ballots could give GA back to Trump (if he does lose it).  Mind you, both PA and GA were called for Trump by I think almost every news org.

I'm not suggesting fraud - I don't think even QO would risk 25 years in jail to throw a few extra votes to his guy.  But a lot of people are going to be very angry to see 2-3 states called and then be called the other way in such a close, volatile election.  I expect Trump to claim fraud, but shame on all these other Repub clowns pushing that bullshit.

Not one single news org has called Georgia or Pennsylvania. None. 

Also, they aren’t “finding” ballots. They are counting mail-in/absentee ballots. 

And yes, you are suggesting fraud.

No, I didn't.  You guys can't read.  Fraud on the scale being talked about simply isn't possible.

Yes, you did. 

“They keep finding more ballots” is suggesting fraud. 

And again, the ONLY state that anyone has called is Arizona. And that’s FOX and the AP. 

GA, PA, NC, NV, AK have not been called by anyone. 

Donald Trump spent MONTHS telling republicans around the country to NOT vote by mail. That is why the numbers are changing so drastically now. They aren’t finding ballots. They aren’t forging ballots. They are simply counting the absentee/mail-in ballots now, because their state legislatures(Republicans) would not allow them to count those ballots before the election. Florida, Ohio, and others posted their absentee/mail-in votes first. Which is why Biden was up or very close in those states at the beginning. Once they posted votes from Tuesday, those states flipped to Trump very fast. Ohio went from Biden up 12% to him losing in a matter of like an hour. 

Going away from Trump/Biden for a moment. 

It appears the Senate could actually change hands come January. There will be 2 run offs in Georgia and the Dem candidate in Alaska thinks he will have the votes once they count the absentee votes.

And, at least the PA vote, wouldn’t be irritating if they counted them early like in FL.

I think this is the most pertinent statement. Certainly, I think everybody here would agree to that.
