2020 US Elections

I think we should do what he says and call the election now.

If counting were stopped now, Biden would win the presidency because he is ahead in Nevada, which would get him to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.

He would also need AZ. But Biden is ahead there as well and you are right he will win if the counting is stopped now. How has drumpf survived this far with little to no intelligence?

This electoral college system is dogshit. They should have discarded the system years ago.

Is it worse than ours, governed on 40% vote share.

Any idea when we will get more places declared ?

Only the first of these seems likely to be a full declaration:
CNN say the next official updates are expected as follows (UK times):

3.30 pm Georgia secretary of state
5 pm Clark County, NV
2 am Maricopa County, AZ

I can just see trump holding on to GA PA and NC, and we all have to watch Nevada for the next 3 days.

I believe I am the only yank poster who regularly types "colo(u)r" and "favo(u)rite" just to appease you limey bastards . . . . and we're talking about an American election in this case so I'm not taking your guff!! :)

Fight fight fight!

Caps lock syndrome is strong. I expect this to get a Twitter note added:

Ask Deutsche Bank and the Kremlin.

Thank you

Well obviously. Don't want that arrogant imbecile fucking up our planet any longer than he already has.

Every single one of those issues you spouted happened before the Orange Gimp, including the precious Obama-Biden era.

Really seems his only goal with that garbage is to create unrest and a new slogan for his base. Just brutal.

 

[yankblue]

If this does end up going Biden - and shit even if it doesn't - it's going to be the metro areas of a few cities that saved the day:

PA - Philadelphia
Georgia - Atlanta
Michigan - Detroit

So, three cities with among the highest Black populations in America. Three cities that if memory serves correctly are majority Black. A group of people that has been disenfranchised for generations and given the short end of the stick over and over again. I don't know what to say other then that is both inspiring and heartbreaking and more then this election they deserve so, so much better.

If the numbers coming out of PA are true, Biden appears likely to win it by a margin of over 200k votes. If Biden is getting the same numbers in GA then he could well win it but it will probably be by single figure thousands.

And lo, it came to pass.

 

[Coatigan]

Fucking embarrassing. Whichever way people voted and whatever they believe in, that is just fucking embarrassing.

IN the NYT, there is a statistic which shows that during exit polls, 92% blacks voted for Biden compared to 44% Whites.

Presumably it is better to stop and be behind in AZ and NV than to continue and lose PA and maybe GA!

And it is working, unfortunately. Something many of us have predicted he would do for awhile.

It wasn't an entirely serious comment.

Hopefully know soon enough from one of the eastern states. Any one of them swings and declares and its all over.
