2020 US Elections

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Sadly seeing as Covid has become a political issue in America I can see Biden trying to elect some sane policies (social distancing/masks/lock downs etc.) but you just know the Republican states will riot over this. If Trump doesn’t accept the result (which I think is likely) it’s going to be a dog’s dinner in the US for a little while longer.

If Biden is going to win, the best thing for America would be for him to cleanly sweep the remaining states.

So it's interesting that you say this -- was just now corresponding with someone about this.

Try this on for size -- McConnell has just now come out and said that stimulus needs to get done before the end of 2020. That's great. If he and Pelosi can craft something, Trump may just say "shove it" which makes him look like even more of a dick and gives McConnell the ability to distance himself.

Then Biden comes in. If Biden, McConnell and Pelosi can work together to de-politicize the pandemic (with Trump and his cronies out the door given they were pandemic response blockers), and pass stimulus, then all in office -- red and blue alike -- can take credit for both an improving health environment and a positive economic response when 2022 rolls around and it's time for re-election.

Re the mail votes.

How do we know that an extra 1,000 fraudulent ones have not been added to them?

I assume Trump believes this will happen as deluded as he is but what is out there to prove that it didn't happen. With the security etc?

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

So that's why the Miami Dade was a strange score.

It may be. I wasn't surprised Biden won it by less than Clinton, but I think it was 10 percentage points less. I was really puzzled by that.

They'll be the ones with the Moscow postmark.

Maybe, but he doesn’t take over until January if he wins. Its possible vaccinations have started by then

 

[SWP's back]

Yeah he unfortunately he does. It's not likely, I guess, but definitely feasible.

The best way I can put it is that you'd rather be Biden right now, but I don't think either side is feeling more then cautiously optimistic.

You’ve always been more cautious than me today but fair play for your balance.

LOL well done.

 

[pudge]

How's Wisconsin looking? Seen a few, perhaps, premature calls recently

Because election checkers from both sides are pouring over every one and checking there are no duplicates and or fakes.

Like they do every election.

Being checked but all counted bar a couple of hundred

Biden 49.4% trump 48.8%

Because the count is chock full of both gop and dem overseers (all lawyers) and they can and do check any ballot.

Then once the count is complete, 5% of all cast ballots are randomly selected and double checked again.

 

[domalino]

I think Biden is just going to issue a statement that he is confident rather than him claiming a win

Im assuming he's in Washington DC. Which means he could speak as late as 2am UK time? 9pm their time.

That should be enough for Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona to all announce. which would be 279.

You have to have faith in the democratic institutions. This voting process and the mechanisms are the same ones that happened in 2016, were they corrupt then?

If a major party in the US could corrupt a vote, there is nothing to say the Tories/Labour/any other western nation government has or could. I don’t believe that has happened.
