2020 US Elections

[I'm With Stupid]

Biden is now the most voted for candidate in US history, overtaking obama in 08

Presumably Trump last time, you mean? Tremendous numbers. The biggest numbers ever. More numbers than any other president ever.

% or down to the 27m pop growth?

This is going to end 270 - 269 Biden with recounts in several states, isn't it?

Just numbers right now, still a lot of votes to be cast though

No.

Edit: IMO.

I'm not sure it is actually, these mail in ballots are killing trump

 

[yankblue]

No.

What do you think it ends up as? Genuinely curious

Down to increased voter turnout.

I don't know a lot about US law, but I'm going to assume that the person responsible won't actually be answerable, and the crimes of the individual will result in the punishment of the organisation he represents, while he is quietly dismissed with a nice bonus and a fully intact six or seven figure pension.

Biden is pulling away in Michigan and most of the votes to be counted are in Biden-friendly counties.

They'll call the election for Biden before Saturday and Dumb Donald will sue as many states as possible to challenge their results.

Everything other than NC.

More vote data from Georgia due soon apparently.

Definitely not.

That adds up to 539 when there's only 538 delegates in the EC ;-)

Probably, we’ll see. The judge in charge is a serious ****.

Definitely not.

Ah well i'm a fucking idiot

 

[yankblue]

Everything other than NC.

That's the realistic best case, I think. I don't have a good feeling about Georgia or Pennsylvania but I'm not basing that on anything other then my gut.

 

[@BluePhil8]

you should complain if Biden turns into a racist narcissistic moron that does his best to divide the nation and pulls out of climate treaties.
That is your democratic right.

You get what you vote for for 4 years. If you don’t like it, vote for someone else at the end of the 4 years.

He ran on a platform of bringing back coal jobs etc, so pulling out of climate agreements was inevitable and what his electorate wanted.

If Biden wins, I genuinely hope both ‘sides’ can pull together quickly. I’d hoped this could have happened under Trump in 2016, but that’s not been the case. I don’t want to see any more violence in the streets or extreme rhetoric, America is at war with itself and it’s actually been sad to watch.

Is it a big gut or a small one?

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

Trump is a crook

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

No.

Edit: IMO.

I thought you were being humourous at the notion of an impossible result (270/269 isn't possible).

I think Biden will get 270 + Pennsylvania 20 so 290 v 248.
