2020 Presidential Election thread

Who gave PA or GA to Trump? And, at least the PA vote, wouldn’t be irritating if they counted them early like in FL. Biden isn’t “coming back” he’s always been ahead by this much. They just didn’t count them until now. If all these votes were day of, PA may very well have been called Tuesday for Biden. Same with MI and WI.

Yeah, the optics of this is just terrible and now sadly half the country will not have faith in our elections.  This would have been the same if Trump edged out a win.  The best case scenario for the country would have been a comfortable win for either side.  It's going to get worse when Trump's legal team gets involved and they start throwing out some votes. 

Just keep in mind that Al Gore went down the same path in 2000. And while it seemed to be outrageous on some level at the time, almost everybody forgot about it within a year. 

Hopefully the same will happen again this year, regardless of who wins.

Also, just saw this on twitter

And there is the call. I am sure Trump won't be a complete dipshit for the next 2 months.  The right needs to not do anything too stupid because the Georgia races could flip the Senate. I'd hate to live in Georgia with the amount of ads that are going to be played there the next 2 months.

Lindsay Graham and the like would be smart to distance themselves from him at this point. No clue what he was thinking with that Fox News stuff last night.

They need a smart balance between supporting him and distancing themselves from the crazy shit.  The populist America first messaging resonates with a lot of people.  That's why they made a net gain in the house and should* keep the senate, while losing the WH.  If they want to win more elections, they shouldn't go back to the RINO McCain and Romney days.  

Edit: Not to mention Trump is petty enough to bring down the GOP too.  He will have influence outside of the WH. 

Update -

By Milwaukee City Wire News Service

Nov 4, 2020

(Editor's note: After the original version of this story was published Nov. 4 at 3:09 p.m. the county updated the voter registration data on their data portal and updated voting tallies for precincts 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276 and 277. The most up to date data is available here. Nov. 5. 3:57 p.m.) 

Five City of Milwaukee voting wards reported more than 89% turnout in the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, according to an analysis of results and Secretary of State files.

All are in the city’s eleventh aldermanic ward, on the city’s far Southwest Side.

Vice President Joe Biden carried the five in 2020 with 3,768 votes to President Donald Trump’s 2,883— a margin of 885, or eight times what it was in 2016, when Trump earned 1,904 votes to Hillary Clinton’s 2,012.

The City of Milwaukee reported record turnout of 84 percent Tuesday; 243,144 of 288,833 registered city voters cast a ballot.

Biden defeated Trump in Milwaukee 195,034 to 48,110, a margin of 145,916. He won 80 percent of the city’s total vote.

I guess Trump finally got tired of winning

Now that Biden is ahead I bet the vote counting stops

He would have won if the counting stopped when Trump wanted it to. So fuck off with this.

There will be recounts and then it's over.  It's a dog and pony show at this point to work people up.

So the correction flipped this county back to red, and 32 other counties in Michigan used the same software.  Maybe it will explain the rather unbelievable stats coming out of that state .......we can only wonder.

In 12 years of your message board diarrhea, you’ve got one dodgeball referee to see it your way. Good work.

I'm going to be disappointed if Trump doesn't pardon Assange and Snowden on his way out.
