Fox seems to be more even now with Tucker on. Hemmer and Wallace were giddy about how Trump was getting “crushed” in FL… “Look at how Trump is down 10k in this small county compared at this point in 2016” while ignoring he was blowing Miami-Dade out of the water. They also went on and on about how Trump isn’t doing well with women while ignoring a similar gap with Biden for men.
Someone noted 538 predicted FL for Biden with 70% probability.

From a neutral point of view, absentee and mail in ballots being so massively skewed to one side is a major problem. Because that ultimately encourages a massive amount of resources being put in by both sides in either expanding or limiting such voting, regardless of what the “ideal” proportion of such voting actually is (if we could know such a thing). It’s an ideal situation for abuses from either side.
I would like to see studies of how many of those requests actually make it back into being submitted. I’m willing to believe it’s smaller than many think.
Yeah, but like VA, current numbers favor Trump. Will probably swing, but interesting – since they called it so early.
Ownbestenemy

VA I think is going to be pulled back as a call for Biden and Trump will talk away with it. He has been 250K-300K behind on votes all night with no gains as more polling places report in. Given, Fairfax county is at ~30% reporting in, that could change really quickly.
Fairfax County has 99% complete on the Fox map – I don’t think there’s much left – the % is just thrown off by the averages and a couple of rural 0s.

MSNBC has Biden at about 36 mil and Trump a little over 38 mil.
Bash went on to explain that the Biden campaign appears to have underperformed with Latino voters because of the Trump campaign’s work to paint Biden as a socialist had been effective.
“I’ll tell you what [the Biden campaign] thinks went wrong is that the Trump attacks have worked,” said Bash. “Calling the Democrats socialist worked with people in that area, in particular.”
CNN’s Abby Phillip concurred, saying turnout among Latino voters will likely be the area of study for Democrats, once the election is settled.
“What is happening in Florida, I can tell you, Democrats are not happy about it,” said Phillip. “At the end of the day, the situation in Miami-Dade is something that in the autopsy of this election they will be looking back at and trying to figure out what went wrong.”
It worked because it’s true, you dumb cunte. The Democrats are totally in for socialism, and not the soft kind either.

Add to that the folks from Puerto Rico who largely staffed Disney World’s hotel boom in the 80s-90s, and you have a lot of Hispanics who aren’t exactly in the monolithic anti-Castro right-wing stereotype.
Kudos to the Repubs for actively reaching out to them. It worked for Scott and DiSantis, and appears to have worked for DJT.

Which isn’t too say that they need to manufacture any where near 400K, the last 4 presidential elections had well over 500K votes for the D candidate, and they are only reporting 74K votes for Biden. I would expect at least 400K votes to be added to Biden’s total from Philly alone without fraud, the rural counties need to pick up the slack. The real test will be the counties around Philly, they’ll almost certainly go for Biden, but the percentage they break at will determine the outcome.

I don’t see how Biden can win Pennsylvania. He’s down by 700,000 votes and would need to win roughly 70% of the outstanding votes. Biden is only getting like 72% in Philadelphia County.
I don’t see how he could possibly make up that difference without raising quite a few eyebrows. The math doesn’t seem to work. The only way would be like massive voter turnout (like 135%) in places like Philadelphia.

Yeah if there’s 2 million votes left and Biden takes 70% of them, he wins by less than 100,000 votes. The county with the lowest percentage counted so far (Bucks), currently has Trump up by 15. That should narrow, but making up 15 percentage points with 70% of the votes in would have to be completely unprecedented. That’s nuts.

On the NYT, they have a blurb about Erie County:
“Erie County, Pa., counted 13,121 mail ballots, which Biden won 5 to 1. There are 37,000 mail votes still out; Dems expect him to carry them by at least 3 to 1. That means he would win this bellwether county.”
Currently with 70% of the vote in, Trump is up by 15 points in that county (he won it by 1.6 in 2016). But the mail in ballots are gonna come in 80/20 for Biden? If they do, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to have a close look at them.
To put it more simply, Trump has more votes now than Clinton got in 2016 (about 2,000) with only 73% reporting. And Pennsylvania’s population hasn’t grown much if at all.

So, if Trump happens to win, an interesting facet from the CNN exit polls is that he has indeed increased his minority support (albeit not by large margins) across the board. Comparing 2016 to 2020 exit polls, Trump held steady with whites and gained 4 points with each other ethnic group measured (blacks, hispanics, asians, and other). Notably, Trump won 40% of hispanics in TX and 47% in Florida, so I don’t think the demographics is destiny idea is holding up too well.

Counterpoint: WI, MI, and PA are historically blue states that flipped last time (for the first time in 28 years) and right now are competitive. Also, the purple states of OH and FL went fairly strongly against Biden, so I don’t think it is correct to posit that the trends are pointing only and inexorably in one direction. I don’t think the future looks bright, but I don’t think it is lost either.

No, the media designed polls to make it seem that way. Trump smashed through Florida, NC, GA, Ohio, and PA. The Dems were primed and ready in PA to stop the count if it looked like Trump was winning while they grab more Biden votes.
The media are co-conspirators in this, essentially an unregistered arm of the Democrat Party. They delayed calling for Trump and the tech companies have taken down anything that questions the fraud being committed in PA.

It is relevant if you are asking if Trump losing was ever in doubt. Many of us said he would win in a fair election but it remained to be seen how much fraud the Dems and media would commit and be able to pull off.
This seems to be exactly the scenario that is now playing out.

Fox seems to show Trump being stomped pretty much everywhere. He’ looks to be losing Ohio.
OH is within a couple points and only 45% of the vote in.
Kinda noticed that they are using the consensus polling data to change a state’s color when the polls close. FL is going to Trump unless something majorly drastic changes. FOX may have egg on their face unless the remaining vote in VA are overwhelmingly for Biden.
Whelp, let’s see how the senate and house races go. Hopefully they can knee cap sleepy Joe and limit him to raiding the public coffers and forget about all the civil rights he promised to shit on.
Fox seems to be more even now with Tucker on. Hemmer and Wallace were giddy about how Trump was getting “crushed” in FL… “Look at how Trump is down 10k in this small county compared at this point in 2016” while ignoring he was blowing Miami-Dade out of the water. They also went on and on about how Trump isn’t doing well with women while ignoring a similar gap with Biden for men.
Someone noted 538 predicted FL for Biden with 70% probability.
RI for Trump?!
Also, I keep forgetting, the democrats started out with a big lead in the absentee ballots, so the Rs are going to be catching up all day. I think that’s what seems a little off.

I doubt we’ll know who won by midnight. Last year I think was around 2 AM glibs time.
I thought it was later than that. I was up until 5am.
I remember I was sort of half asleep.
Nah. We really knew that Trump took it by like 9 or 10. When states like Wisconsin went Trump it was over.
I was told there are no TPTB.
Wow. Is Texas really going to go Blue?
You may want to find a different source if they’re claiming that at this time of the night.
What time do Texas polls close?
Look at the map. A huge majority of counties are at 0% reporting.
Those were the big cities. Looks like much or rural Texas hasn’t reported in. Looks shaky but not down and out.
80% of Harris and Dallas County in. Large area unreported elsewhere. Texas is safe.
I’m really confused. The stuff i’m showing is saying Texas has an estimated 52-60% of Texas vote in. This is PJ Media
Honestly I wish all States would remain grey until they can statistically confirm who won, but that isn’t the world we live in. So PJ Media throws little diagonal lines to indicate “blue” is winning so far, not that they are leaning blue.
It’s a spectator sport now. For better or worse.
Next you’ll tell me Alaska will go blue as well…
I’m not watching the election results except for here. At least until we crash.

MI leaning Trump….RI? VA is looking interesting unless fat wads of votes pile in for Biden. OH is still…who knows.
The Map looks nothing like i predicted.
VA is interesting with the Senate races…
Fairfax hasn’t counted at all. I was hoping VA could flip, but it isn’t looking great.
Still only a third reporting.
Gade is leading Warner by a lot. Likewise for Benjamin over McEachin (I’m in Va 4).
What tends to happen, at least for president/senate, is that R’s have to have massive leads to hold over before NoVa/Hampton finish reporting.
Probably wishful thinking that my house rep and senator will be upset by the challengers.
This is interesting.
R Nick Freitas 118,265 60.48%
D Abigail Spanberger 77,266 39.52%
Reporting 87.93% in
What race is that?
Virginia 7th.
Federal?
Yes. VA state elections are in odd number years.
Scamberger unseated Dave Brat. It’ll be fun watching her unseated after one term.
OMG that’s delicious
I have a state senator and a congresscritter on the ballot this year. So I had to ask (I can’t keep track of everyone’s electoral schedule).
Does VA count absentee/mail-in ballots after Election Day?
I’m not sure. Could swing things I guess.
Freitas is running as an (R) but he’s pretty hardcore libertarian. He also seems like a genuinely nice person.
Spanberger is loathsome, a true swamp creature. I’d love to see her ousted after one term.
Looks like at least 3 house pickups in VA
I thought Fox already called Virginia for Biden?
They did, based on past models. I don’t think this is a year to use those models as they are probably not going to hold up for both teams.
Have you ever seen an exit poll prediction overturned? I’m not sure that I have.
2000 I believe…when Al Gore pointed to them..could be wrong though.
I’m not buying it. Va has been blue in the past few presidential elections but it has been relatively close (if I remember correctly…). Time will tell.
Yeah, for VA, hard to figure out the numbers – nice to see Gade leading for Sen.
They’re saying 33% total reporting, but hard to see where dems would pull it out based on the other % remaining up in NoVa, etc.
Other weird stuff with VA. They’re reporting only 37% overall reporting(???) – but enough to call the ballot proposals with 70+%….weird computers.
Fox is going to have egg on their face for the races they called in VA I think. Maybe not the presidential, but probably some congressional.
I will turn on the TV around 10:30 or 11:00 CST tonight. By then, they might be able to call the Iowa races. Probably closer to midnight.
1 am or 2 am, we might get a sense of how the presidential election is going. Maybe.
NYT is saying >95% chance Trumpf wins FL. But that’s NBD if he does
In Texas? hmm. I’m a Texan. This exact same thing happened last time with Beto.
Don’t get me wrong. Trump is not popular here. He’s a new york asshole. nobody really likes him. just look at the margin between him and senator cornyn.
But i don’t think texas is really “in play”.
Biden is tracking Hillary numbers or less at this point 4-years ago. I don’t think he is going to pick up more. TX will stay in Trumps corner. However, Trump lose PA and OH he is going to have to pick up WI or MN and AZ or NV
Trump up to 2.2 lead in FL. Can he get to 2.5? 3?
2.7 now.

I swear Fox intentionally manipulates the reporting to make it seem more dramatic. They should add football announcers and it would be the perfect amount of drama.
Fox really is as bad as the left says, just for different reasons.
Ok, where are the first riots to happen?

She’s 32 and blonde. Think she’ll get the same fawning coverage as 31-year old AOC?
Only if she starts dressing like Ilsa, the bitch of Belsen.
Based on the coverage Elise Stefanik gets, no.
What’s wrong with Texans? Just talked with a friend who works a precinct in Midland (awl country). Trump smashed Biden…but the margin is 2% less than it was when he ran against Hillary. The margin is about what it was for Cruz v. Beto. If Biden takes Texas, this country is in for a long, rough ride.
I think Trump will win but it’ll be tighter than usual because the president is a moron who sucks donkey balls.
In every sense of that word.
Well ya…but he is better than the other donkey turd stomper.
Or because all these people moved there from blue states?
Eh, the margin between Trump and Cornyn (Republican senator) should be about 4%. Trump is unusually unpopular here for a Republican.
I wonder why?
So, now with 80% in, TX looks like it swung 3 pts towards Biden, but Trump only lost 0.5 pts from where he was last time. The “never Trumpers” came home to the Ds, but TX is not a swing state (yet). *wipes brow in relief*

If every pollster isn’t fired for that state alone…That is a GIANT miss by them. Completely inexcusable regardless of anything else. Trump now at +3
It’s 3.3 now, more than 400k votes, I think FL is a lock for Trump.
It was a lock before the election to anyone paying attention. Even then, this margin is ridiculous.
Ohio and NC not looking good for Trump. I don’t think he can lose OH and win.
Calm…calm. Trust me. Everything is going exactly as it needed to for Trump to win. Give those states time.
Yep, both NC and OH tightening now and FL he has pulled away.
NYT is giving Trump 90% chance of winning NC. Charlotte and the Triangle have all been counted. The remaining votes are mostly red rural. Can’t see their probability for Ohio.
If the cities have been counted and Trump is ahead, he’s won the state.
NYT has stuck only with NC, GA and FL, as their argument is the mail-in and absentee balloting in other states makes trying to read the incoming results as difficult.
Yeah OH and NC are ones he really needs.
Trump ahead in Ohio now.
FNC may have jumped the gun on VA. Unless my info is incorrect, it looks like all population centers except Fairfax have fully reported and Trump is ahead by 18%.
Granted, idk how mail-in/absentee ballots factor in.
Yeah, Fairfax City is the only one left aside from Hopewell and a couple other small spots. But they’re saying only 39% total reporting??? The numbers are all over.
The numbers are all over.
That’s what I am seeing with others here viewing other maps and for other states. Strange.
For VA though, I’d like to think that Dem behavior at the federal level and also what Dems did upon gaining marginal control of the state government might have repercussions. I suppose we will see.
Fox is giving Biden 90%+ probability of taking NC and Georgia. NYT is giving Trump 80%+ probability of the same. This is bizarre.
What!? That is very weird.
It feels weird to say it, but NYT kicked everyone’s ass at that game last election.
I think it was Robert Barnes who said Fox had the worst polling desk of all the major networks.
Yes they did. I used their tracker 4 years ago.

I’ll call CA for Biden without seeing a single vote.
I’m calling Hawaii’s 4 EC votes for Biden and the polls have still three hours.
It bounced off the Klingons circling Uranus?
Fox News I think really really hates Trump. They are claiming House leads even though 2 time zones haven’t closed polling yet. So much for responsible reporting.
So much for them being the evil, right-wing propaganda network.
They’ve been skinsuited years ago. Mask is really coming off now. Even my non-political wife noticed today.
I won’t watch anything with that asshole Chris Wallace. I watch Fox Business – they have much better people.
I have FNC on with the sound off and ignoring most of their check marks.
Trump pulling forward in TX, NC…OH tightening. PA is a clusterfuck. MI looking strong for trump and down ticket race. VA…oh VA.
Ok….I think it’s a couple of tiny 0% reporting city districts (rural towns) that are throwing off the total % reported. 0% of x #s drops the total a lot.
PA is too early. Trump up now in TX, and up by nearly 4 in FL.
My guess is it will still be too early to tell in Pennsylvania by December 15.
“Were still getting ballots in and the postmarks are all smudged!”
My, aren’t you optimistic. PA will be to 2020 what Florida was to 2000.
They purposefully made it a total cluster fuck.
Every time i look at TX Biden is still up by a ten-thousand votes
Not any more.
If I weren’t working, I’d have this on repeat.
Nice
I have been corrupted.
Listening to the song, and it crosses my mind I could turn it into another one of my stories.
You caught the bug. There is no cure.
Thankfully, I am old and won’t have to live with it that long. 😉
LOL
Right?!
Excellent choice. I feel that way every time I think upon how lucky I was to have met the spousal unit when I did (it was a pivotal time in my young life). Things could’ve gone very south, very quickly otherwise . . .

Bill was amazing.
A friend of mine dropped a few years ago (at age 50!) and this beautiful song was played at the end of the funeral. I got pretty choked up.
What song will you have your people play at yours?
I’m thinking this for mine.
A lovely cover.
A shit load weirder and without any soul… other than that same vibe.
I don’t know what vibrator you’re using but clearly you need new batteries.
Wow, I don’t like nail biters, but I’ll take it. Ohio now a .1 race and NC less than 1 pt.
I don’t like the nail because I’m thinking they’ll be well within the margin of fraud.
An hour ago you could have bet $100 and won $180 on Trump. First time now hes a favorite. $130 wins you $100.
Election Titty Tuesday knows that left or right, left and right squeezed together in harmony always wins!

VA 04
R Leon Benjamin 72,369 53.32%
D Donald McEachin (Incumbent) 63,361 46.68%
Reporting 90% in
Yeah Fox is starting to rethink that early call. Who knows…but that shows everyone should shut them off for the rest of the night.
From MSNBC:
L. Benjamin 53.5% 77,536
D. McEachin INCUMBENT 46.5% 67,350
34% In
Idk what to believe.
Charleston House race tightening. 24% in and D incumbent up by less than a point. He tried to run as far away from the Dem Party as possible.
His slogan was “Low Country over Party”.
Well one thing for sure… FL May not become a swing state anymore.
Ah. Fletch Lives. Very nice.
Gilmored!
They purposefully made it a total cluster fuck.
Trump now -235. $235 to win $100. Big favorite now.
where are you looking at odds?
My bookies betting site. Called ez play 2000
-325 now 3-1 favorite
The site i put bets in with my bookie. Its called ex play 2000.
Biden looks to be closing the Gap in VA.
I thought Covid-19 closed The Gap in VA.
The NYT seems certain that Trump will win North Carolina despite Biden’s current lead. Have him at over 95% there.
They are pulling numbers from the SoS websites and compiling as fast as they are reported, so we get a lag so to speak on map updates.
Trump pulling ahead in TX, holding firm in NM so far, but we know that one is most likely a Dem win. GA, NC will go Trump. MI is strong, WI has been back and forth.
OH Trump starting to pull in the numbers and same with PA.
Unless something drastic happens, it is nearly 2016 again.
Are we in for “how did we get it so wrong” v2?
Honestly, who knows. I think they are still using 2008 polling methods, didn’t update since 2016, thinking it was an outlier. Hispanics are leaning Trump. Gained on the black vote. Old people went Biden along with people named “Karen”.
And, as they did 4 years ago, they will fail to grasp some self-awareness that THEY did this–and they’ll double down.
John James is looking good in the senate race in MI too.
Fox still giving Biden an 89% of winning election and Ohio, as Trump just starts pulling away in OH.
What does nyt think?
I’m thinking they’re not a good source.
Weird that Fox Business is so different.
Because they make money making proper readings of the market, not emotions.
The Bee is just becoming a news site now.
https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1323805716637835264
lol
That’s all sorts of win. Fantastic. lol
Now $235 only wins you $100 on Trump.
Earlier today it was $100 wins you $750 betting Trump to win popular vote.
I had no idea. I would have made that bet.
Trump now -235. $235 to win $100. Big favorite now.
Interesting.
I’m amazed it is this close. Not that Trump won by much before. Social media banned/cancelled many of the pro-Trump influencers (eg. Milo) that I think made a big difference against Hillary. Since then, Trump has delivered on most of his promises, and has been good on “it’s the economy, stupid” kitchen table issues that most people care about. Biden has barely campaigned. How many times has he called a lid?
I’m thinking if it wasn’t for covid Trump would have won in a landslide.
No covid, landslide. But would he have been running against Biden or a real sacrificial lamb?
Mace(R) now leads in Charleston house race with 28% in. Still too close to call.
All over the place.
Reuters is currently showing Biden 89 Trump 72, Fox showing Biden 129 Trump 109.
Also Fox has the D’s chances at 90%
Is it over yet? Are we all going to die from Racism and Covid or are we all going to die from Commies and Cancel Culture?
Yes
Jo Jo is the dark horse. We will all die in monocle production plants.
Trump and Biden are going to hug on stage. As the shocked audience watches, they will reveal themselves as Kodos and Kang
That would be one of the least shocking developments of the year.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.
Zoom, zoom
From a neutral point of view, absentee and mail in ballots being so massively skewed to one side is a major problem. Because that ultimately encourages a massive amount of resources being put in by both sides in either expanding or limiting such voting, regardless of what the “ideal” proportion of such voting actually is (if we could know such a thing). It’s an ideal situation for abuses from either side.
That’s the purpose of them.
That’s the assumption, but is it actually borne out?
I would like to see studies of how many of those requests actually make it back into being submitted. I’m willing to believe it’s smaller than many think.
on Fox map, MN, RI and VA (and MD) are all blue but numbers favor Trump.
Isn’t RI usually deep blue?
Yeah, but like VA, current numbers favor Trump. Will probably swing, but interesting – since they called it so early.
Yes. Still a long way to go on their reporting though.
VA I think is going to be pulled back as a call for Biden and Trump will talk away with it. He has been 250K-300K behind on votes all night with no gains as more polling places report in. Given, Fairfax county is at ~30% reporting in, that could change really quickly.
Fairfax County has 99% complete on the Fox map – I don’t think there’s much left – the % is just thrown off by the averages and a couple of rural 0s.
They have secret info on Red Tuesday/ Blue Wednesday
Nate Silver is by far the worst pollster alive and the fact they slob his knob is astounding.
Another interesting note…the Yuan is crashing….
“The Yuan is crashing”
That’s actually an interesting indicator at least of who they _think_ is going to win.
I can now complete my move to SC since they didn’t vote for the fucking commie. You’re still in play AZ, don’t let me down.
But it’s full of racists.
We did reelect Graham, so we arent perfect.
What was your other option though?
Trump has Florida in the bag and they won’t call it. Pure corruption.
Media is holding out on the mail-in ballots….my guess.
Looking at the numbers Trump is up by 400,000 in Florida with around 800,000 votes outstanding. I’m no mathematician (actually I am, but whatever), but that seems call worthy to me.
AZ glibs, what county has Pheonix and the big Blue cities?
Phoenix is in Maricopa county.
Tuscon is Pima
Pheonix is in Maricopa County, which has more than half the population of Arizona.
Seals my deal that I move to Pima county, where Trump is winning big, if I go to AZ. Maricopa county is all gay and their shit is all fucked up.
Biden is winning and will win Pima county. that’s U of A territory. Trump will win Pinal county which is the only country near Phoenix without a mask mandate.
Phoenix is Maricopa County. Tucson is Pima county (University of Arizona dominated and blue). Maricopa tends to be extremely purple county wise these days. Used to be solid red. Sheriff Joe was the sheriff of Maricopa county.
“Phoenix is Maricopa County. Tucson is Pima county”
Really? Your geographical expertise is astounding!
Just fucking with you. We’ve been looking at property north of Tuscon in the hills for months now.
I’m watching CTV. Trump seems to be winning the states he needs to win. I’m calling a narrow Trump win.
Trump -500. This is crazy.
It really is playing out like 2016 unless…..the absentee/mail-in are the game changer. Which is what the Dems/MediaPsyOps have been hammering away as what will put Biden over the top.
Red Mirage on ED, Blue Tsunami of Mail-in Ballots or whatever they are saying.
Some of the leads will seem too great and I think a lot of people would be suspicious of Biden overcoming a 200k+ deficit in key states.
Since no one else has said it, I will. SP shutting the site down at midnight?
Election interference.
that’s bullshit. we will still be counting votes in pa.
Just checked the dashboard:
Brute force attack protection
73,028
Blocked malicious login attempts
How many of those are recent?
Midnight Glib time, which I think is a couple hours left of America* time.
*Which is Eastern, of course.
Glib time is central, so that’s 1am eastern.
Nailed it.
Sorry if this posts twice cant see my last comment–Trump now 5-1 favorite.
Massie up by 34 with 94% of the vote in.
That’s really interesting, was it him or Amash who dropped the republicans?
MI… Trump up over 10%? That can’t be real…
Why not? How much of the vote is counted?
Look, Yusef said his dog ate most of the commies up there. #BelieveAllYusefs
Good doggie!
No shit, that’s a whole fucking box of milk bones right there, and more table scraps for life.
None of this can be real. He has the whole national media complex, all the unions, major state governments, hell almost everybody fighting him to the death. The lack of a blue wave is an astounding victory, in itself. Being odds on favorite at this point? Miraculous, nothing less.
I think MI counts the in person votes first, then mail in after that.
Trump up in NC now, pulling away fast in OH. Ahead in PA, WI, and MI.
NY Times shows Ohio Trump+4 with 72% counted.
He’s up by 6 now.
Poor Heather Nauert. Still trying to make a career on her looks. The plastic surgery/fright makeup is offputting but the boobs, while totally unprofessional, do look nice.
Newsmax and OAN still know what FNC has forgotten.
“the boobs[…]do look nice”
This is the way.
Welp, only hiccup of the night so far. AZ not looking great. That one surprises me, but isn’t strictly needed for Trump with how everywhere else is.
Still some votes out there, but yeah I think that will drop to the Dems…but that is okay with OH, MI, WI maybe going to Repubs….and dare I say, PA and a surprise VA?
The only thing I can make of this election so far, is that Biden leads early in a lot of states because of all the early voting and mail in ballots. And then he starts losing because of people actually voting on election day.
And the media is not going to let it go. They will not even admit that Biden cannot win FL. Fucking pathetic.
Wouldn’t want to depress the popular vote numbers, now would they?
I know Cali hasn’t come in to save the day for the worthless popular vote…but PJ Media is reporting the following:
36,310,497 votes Biden
37,964,377 votes Trumpbutt
MSNBC has Biden at about 36 mil and Trump a little over 38 mil.
We have a new Tulpa in the waiting area.
Dawww, thanks for noticing!
I mean, assuming that’s me.
@Kwihn T. Senshel, yes, I did mean you. 🙂 Howdy! However, until a PTB notices you and releases your comments, you’ll stay in moderation.
My voice, it is yet unheard.
(and ya, I knew it would happen. S’what I get for lurking for 3.5 years)
Welcome! Fuck off tulpa!

It worked because it’s true, you dumb cunte. The Democrats are totally in for socialism, and not the soft kind either.
Because they had to be told. Uh huh. Right. Sure.
The stupid Cubans can’t figure that shit out for themselves.
You’d be surprised. The Cubans who came over from ’59-62 are ancient, if not already dead. Hell, even the Operation Peter Pan kids are grandparents now. Two generations of their kids going through the Dade County government youth propaganda camps have turned a bunch of young to middle aged Cubans into standard lefties.
Add to that the folks from Puerto Rico who largely staffed Disney World’s hotel boom in the 80s-90s, and you have a lot of Hispanics who aren’t exactly in the monolithic anti-Castro right-wing stereotype.
Kudos to the Repubs for actively reaching out to them. It worked for Scott and DiSantis, and appears to have worked for DJT.
Now Acosta is whining about being on the outside of the White House. Go fuck yourself, you POS. You’ve been stoking up the rhetoric and violence for years now, so much that the RNC has moved their watch party out of DC and has the White House even more protected than usual.
Semi Bright Border Collie wants me to thank all of you for your support, it was a hard fought campaign and you all should be proud of yourselves, however she’s is conceding and want’s to congratulate President Trump on his victory and hopes his second term will be a peaceful and prosperous one.
She’s still a very good girl
Would she accept a cabinet post? Agriculture maybe?
Does she eat commies like Yusef’s dog? Commie eating dogs always get my vote.
She’s a classy bitch.
Fox now saying only a 60% chance of Biden winning now? 81% chance of Trump winning Ohio and likely to win MI? LOL, WTF?
Looks like Tillis is going to eek out a win. Senate looking better. Crossing my fingers.
Kennedy and Lou Dobbs joking about how bad the polls are.
From the polling data I can extrapolate early on, the election will be largely decided by the Rust Belt/Northern Midwest.
MO governor’s race is looking up.
I assume you mean Pro Parsons?
To be honest, I haven’t paid attention to anything locally yet.
Yes. Galloway is a mask-and-taxer.
Sorry, I meant this evening.
I’m aware of our candidates for Governor and their platforms. It’s just that I’m not voting for either one.
And it’s apparently a done deal for Parson over Gallowaydone deal for Parson over Galloway.
Not surprised, really. Missouri’s state legislator is solidly Red. Besides, her term as govenor would have consisted of little more than a redo of Nixon’s(aka) the most veto overridden governor evah!
What’s the point of a (D) govenor right now, honestly?
Real Clear just un-called Virginia for Biden.
WTF am I seeing?
People calling elections too soon.
I’m seeing 52-46 and 53-45 in favor of Trump on FNC and MSNBC respectively.
They called it like instantly when Trump had a massive lead. It made no sense.
Is this because blue counties with a lot of federal employees hadn’t voted and it’s gonna be a 95% margin for Biden?
Another interesting note…the Yuan is crashing….
No TPP 2 electric boogaloo?
Wow
Are the Young Turks melting down yet?
Any news on the Senate? Looks like two seats lost – Maine and Colorado. Alabama should be a pickup. Pence or Harris could actually be valuable this next session.
I am seeing only 1 loss and 1 gain, was there another?
Arizona will almost certainly flip blue in the senate. Trump will outperform McSally-R and if he wins the state it won’t be by much.
Someones needz a murder cacti up their butt.
I hope Kelly washed his hand first after having it shoved up Gifford’s backside for the past several years.

Hi, TH! So glad you’re back & better!
I live and hope…the people here make that possible for me, no matter the outcome of the elections.
So after the election, can we have a “national conversation” about the climate of fear the left has created, as evidenced by voters being afraid to tell pollsters who they are actually voting for?
Yes. National conversations always go well in my experience.
It’s also time for a national conversation about masks and shutdowns. We do the talking and they do the listening this time.
Yes please.
ABSOLUTELY!
So PJ Media’s map has Virginia BLUE, but Trump is 2M votes ahead of Biden. WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF?!
150-170 thousand ahead in the state as of now according to FNC and MSNBC.
This actually happened in 2016 too and Virginia did go to Democrats eventually but there were some gulps.
Actually so far everything has gone exactly like 2016.
This is the fun of it all. The complete demoralization of these people as they have to backtrack.
VA Glibs, interesting how this hasn’t been called.
Establish Redistricting Comm
Yes 1,488,255 66.45%
No 751,533 33.55%
Percent In (90.29%)
VA Dems were against it…
Virginia is reporting nearly 1 mil votes less than in 2016. My guess is it’s not being called because there’s a shit ton of mail in ballots to still count.
The margin for North Carolina is still razor thin.
I’m just waiting for a trans lesbian non binary type to scream NOOOOO!

Ya think?
Trump is a rightwinger who is going to spend the dollar into collapse.
Biden is a semi- left winger who plans to do the same.
What is the difference?
Not packing the Supreme Court.
I too wish Semi-Bright Border Collie had won.
Well Next time.
In four years, she’ll be 28 years older. Might be too late to run again.
I’ll be better armed for the collapse with Trump.
We get an extra 4 years before the concentration camps?
Cultural Marxism.
Functionally? Nothing.
But before it all comes crashing down I get to again watch the Cathedral bellow in impotent rage.
“If you want one thing too much it’s likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk—and feisty gentlemen.” -Augustus M.
I’ll have my guns for the collapse? Easy call.
Ammo availability may increase under one of them.
The most important thing for me is not one party rule of all branches of government. But if Trump wins I do get a lot of extra entertainment on social media which will be fun.
Nobody cares about spending or deficits. With the exception of Canada in 1990s, most countries deal with their budget deficits only when the IMF threatens to cut financing.
I’m 49. The slower the collapse, the better. Plus being the “best horse in the glue factory” could keep us solvent for a while.
I actually don’t think a Trump economy will be any better than a Biden economy. Republican econ sucks as bad as Democratic econ, it just does so differently. I just would rather not be placed under house arrest with a mask stapled to my face.
You can have an AR-15 but no bumpstock under one and neither under the other.
Or pistol braces. Or imported pistols in rifle calibers.
Any idea where this new witch hunt came from? I’ve not heard anything about these issues until just recently. Are they of DTJ’s making, or, something else?
YouTubers seem to be laying the blame at the feet of BATFE bureaucrats. DOJ and Trump are either distracted, it’s too small potatoes, or can’t rein them in.
That’s what I thought, and, wondered why OMB no stomp them. I reckon those three possibilities are each solid guesses. None good, but, still.
Donny Two-Scoops won’t get everything he wants from congress passed and rubber stamped by the courts, wants to end our at least diminish our adventures in nation building, and is mildly more amusing. Is he better? Yes. Is he good? Absolutely not. Does the difference matter? Personal opinion.
Frankly, I’ve given up on having enough people that are even remotely intelligent in charge of the federal government that the policies we need to save the country will ever happen. Best bet is to hope the rest of the world collapses faster than we do and we can be the king of shit mountain.
Maybe not much. But Biden would only be a figurehead for people who are far worse.
I’m with you, Lachowsky.
I don’t see any difference. They are both lifelong fuck-ups. One does it by “negotiating the deals” and stiffing the contractors he hires. The other does it by normal political graft. Either way I fucking lose.
I think it is poor political hygiene to place that much power in one person.
Live your own live as best you can. Ignore the state as best you can. Be good to your neighbors as best you can.
While I heartily agree with this, it seems to me that there is one candidate/one party that is bound and determined to ensure you cannot ignore the State, and will be giving your all for it.
Let’s face it–after seeing the actual communists is BLM/Antifa/Portland politics/etc., if people still vote in the Dems, there will be no place to hide, and likely no quarter given.
there is one candidate/one party that is bound and determined to ensure you cannot ignore the State
Very much this.
Least-worst is a rational choice.
I f’ing hate that I’m in the position to have to rationalize it. I felt that I could get away with not voting at all, as that is becoming my default position, and did not do so in ’16.
After seeing what the Left in the US is willing to do, especially when it comes to open communism (yeah, yeah–I’m McCarthy), and the pure spite they are pouring out on anyone not wearing a red star, I had to pull the lever for OMB. Right or wrong.
Why be a McCarthy when you can be a Pinochet? Good, credit, bad credit, no credit, we will find the financing that is right for you!
Meh–nobody invokes Pinochet wrt hating communists. At least, not that I’ve ever seen.
Fox has now taken down their election meter general election thingy. You dishonest fucking hacks.
Fox has been a disaster all night. It’s almost like they are working for the Lincoln Project.
Warner is closing the gap. Dammit.
PJ is reporting VA will go the SC regardless. We may see some absentee ballots overturned for fraud in the courts.
Trump +4 in TX w/ 80-ish% in. TX is total up for grabs, y’all.
The news was actually reporting that Senator Cornyn of Texas was in danger.
He leads by over 8 points.
PA is going back to Biden.
Nah…
Where you seeing this. Everywhwre I’ve looked it’s at about 40% and Trump is up big.
I see 45% and Trump leading bigly.
Me too.
Where do you see this?
Philly districts stopped reporting until tomorrow morning. They’ll wait and see how many votes they need to produce.
Did Philly really stop reporting?
Official results are the ones reported to the Pennsylvania department of state. You can check by county, Philadelphia hasn’t submitted any mail ballots. If there is going to be any shenanigans with PA’s election it is going to be mall in ballots from Philly, and they’re staying mum on them at the moment. I expect many lawsuits.
They need to know how many votes to manufacture.
I’ve said it before flippantly, but this is the most brazen…
Can they really manufacture almost 400k?
I wouldn’t put it past them to just say they had them.
No.
Ballot printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrr……
Total official ballots reported from Philly is currently 106,546. There are over 1,200,000 registered voters in Philly, for an outstanding balance of about 1.1 million. 400K isn’t even a challenge.
Which isn’t too say that they need to manufacture any where near 400K, the last 4 presidential elections had well over 500K votes for the D candidate, and they are only reporting 74K votes for Biden. I would expect at least 400K votes to be added to Biden’s total from Philly alone without fraud, the rural counties need to pick up the slack. The real test will be the counties around Philly, they’ll almost certainly go for Biden, but the percentage they break at will determine the outcome.
Nope, Trump’s going to win PA and MI. And they should have already called OH.
97% of the vote is in in FL and the Foxtards will not call it, fuck you assholes!
Happy now?
It’s about fucking time. Now over there in the Ohio, bout time they call that one too. Trump is up with an insurmountable lead.
They called it now.
Stuff like that doesn’t bother me all though.
Why is Fox New calling dem states immediately with 1% of votes in and will not call Trump wins with 97% of votes in and no way for Biden to make up the difference?
TMITE
Because Fox decided to subtly inject Blue into their staff, coverage, talking points, framing of conversation and overall coverage over the last couple of years in a cynical effort to corner the market of the alienated working class white left into their viewership.
Fuck Fox News up the ass with a rusty chainsaw.
And don’t forget their drunken redundancy!
*hick*
In local news my lockdown gov is getting reelected. Not sure if I should expect the beatings to continue.
Trump will probably win Nc. Tillis might squeak a win, but Cooper kills it? Fucking retards I live with in this state.
I suppose it could be worse and everything could be straight D
Maybe too early to gloat, but… if not quite a landslide, when it’s all over, Trump wins handily. And the popular vote, too, I think. Maybe not – because of Commiefornia – but it’s stunning to see Trump leading by millions with the totals for both candidates over 40 MM.
And it looks like Trump is going to win my old home state of deep blue RI. Ha!!! Crazy year, for sure.
RI had been called for Biden where I’m looking.
They’ve been calling states at 0%, so I don’t put much creedence in that before the numbers actually get in.
RI – would be hilarious if it went to Trump.
0.5 advantage Biden on FNC
0.8 advantage Trump on MSNBC (at the moment)
Hey, we’re good for almost as many popular votes as Texas. But yeah, considering all the forces aligned against him, Trump is kicking some ass right now.
NYT says:
Biden made a big bid to reclaim union voters. But in Ohio, union voters went for Trump over Biden by 56 percent to 42 percent, according to exit polls.
I said early on that blue collar workers would decide the election same as 2016.
I’m just afraid it’ll be an inverse 2016 and I wake up to a president elect Biden instead of trump.
Hang tight here, we’re going to win, the media lied again.
This morning I saw a rainbow halo around the moon. Which is good luck for the lgbs thus, trump being bi and all, bodes well for him today.
I will sit on that bench with you, Lack.
Anyone know if an X-ray can diagnose covid? My MIL is sick and they said it’s covid based on an X-ray. Test won’t come in for a few days. Till then all of us are supposed to quarantine.
Lung ultrasound might
Could very well. Everyone get tested.
We’re just waiting on her test. If that’s positive it’s going to suck for many people.
They do have a way of being suspicious of it. Something about “granulations” in the lung x-ray, iirc? So yeah, it’s not a sure thing, but it’s a thing.
Yes, that was how it was being used to diagnose patients before testing became available.
https://www.uclahealth.org/radiology/workfiles/pdf/UCLA-covid19-chest-radiographic-findings.pdf
So in February, my husband was sick and ended up in the ER on a Sunday. They found some concerning “ground-glass opacities” on his chest x-ray and said (I kid you not), “Well, we don’t quite know what it is but we’ll call it pneumonia. See a pulmonologist next week.”
Okay. Pneumonia. It’s good enough for work, but WTF ground-glass opacities. That’s kind of not cool.
We see the pulmonologist that Friday. She says it’s nothing, go home and enjoy your time off for pneumonia.
Cunte.
I will never not think that was the WuFlu.
Could probably take one of those immunoassays or whatever they use to figure out if someone has had covid before to see, not that it would change anything.
CNN just changed their tally to Biden 192 EV to Trump 108 EV. That’s because the West coast came in solid blue. They still haven’t called FL, TX or PA yet. Nor VA, NC and GA.
That’s fine. They will be blue.
Right now…
FNC: 207-148 Biden-Trump
MSNBC: 192-114 Biden-Trump
For anyone interested Glibs Zoom Election coverage is still on going.
So PA won’t be done counting until Friday?
Or whenever Biden pulls ahead.
Good Friday.
The only question – will Trump win AZ. If yes, he wins tonight no matter what happens in PA when they eventually get their shit together.
It looks like he won’t which would make it the first state different from last election.
There’s a possibility Trump flips Nevada in the other direction though.
Arizona called for Biden on Fox.
Fox has been bad tonight. Can’t count on them.
I think they’re correct.
DAMMIT!! This is a LIBERTARIAN* site! Why all this political talk, huh?!
/libertarian-adjacent?
Wait? You’re a bunch of Libertarians?
I gotta get out of here.
So JRE is done for tonight. Who has the best TV coverage?
Fox Business.
Ohio has to be just about ready to get called. Biden would have to get like 90% of the outstanding votes to win.
Arizona – what the fuck happened?
That’s a big senate loss.
They do not value individual freedom?
California moved there?
Happened to Colorado.
So. .. everyone ready for the riots if things go the way they seem they might?
I live in a red suburb so it won’t happen no matter what.
Sadly I moved into a suburb that was just starting to swing Dem 5 years ago and is now full crazy.
Jemele Hill flipped out on Twitter. Said she was hyperventilating and in a rage. Threw her laptop against the wall. Said country isn’t safe for black people and especially not a brave outspoken black woman like herself.
So, what are all the black voters that went Maga?
Cowards and uncles toms, why won’t they just do what they’re told, like brave independent thinker Hill?
They aren’t black now, duh.
She seems well-adjusted and rational.
With her 6-figure Covid-protected salary.
It looks like Trump is going to crush Biden in OH, NC, TX, and GA. I could be wrong.
nc? He’s winning but the margin is razor thin.
Well, OK not crush in NC, but 94% and he’s up by almost 100k votes.
You aren’t. OH is called for Trump. NC and GA will come next and TX will be in a bit.
Apparently Cenk Uger thinks Trump’s IQ is sub-70. Speaking of progjection. . .
One indisputable learning:
Y’all motherfuckers need to stop watching Fox News.
I only watch the GG show.
Fuck you AZ! Off my list of move to.
Trump now up in Iowa.
From 2012 to 2018, an average of about 250,000 people per year migrated to Arizona from other states, with the largest contribution coming from California, according to an analysis of census data by Susan Weber for the demographic research site SocialExplorer.com.
There ya go. I assume the trend continued, or maybe even accelerated. I wonder how the gun loving deplorables feel about it. Because when I visited Arizona, one thing was clear, they really, REALLY like their guns.
Not long ago my wife and I envisioned splitting our retirement between NH and AZ. Both are off the list now.
Boomer Covid fear – my FIL is an AZ Trump supporter but complains incessantly about “those kids” in other states spreading Covid.
I feel that way about NC. ID has priced itself out of my league. Maybe SC or KY.
Mark Kelly… Seriously, AZ?
Iowa is now Trump + 1.6. The 40% uncounted votes are predominately in rural counties.
Welp, I grew up in AZ. I won’t be dying there. Wyoming is staying at the top of my when I “retire retire” list.
An election judge apparently punched a voter in the arm at one of my employer’s campuses. While that may be a mild situation, I don’t recall having that happen anywhere near me since…..forever, really.
The scauden is currently overflowing my freude.

Winner.
Wow, didn’t know they still made ’em like this.
Voted for the only local Libertarian on the ballot. Most in my neck of the woods are unopposed Rs.
Jo was the only libertarian on mine. Also saw a bunch of local R’s running unopposed. And this is exactly the problem with the LP.
Well, that and the fact that the ‘vid gave them the most unbelievably awesome platform and they fucked it up.
LP is asshoe.
Pennsylvania has announced that they’re no longer counting votes tonight.
This is bullshit.
Isn’t that the state where the AG said the fix is in?
Yes.
Yeah and Trump lawyers will tear that apart.
Yep, Josh Shapiro. He better hope he was right, the AG election is tracking the presidential election totals and he’s getting blown out right now.
Shapiro wants either Sen. Toomey’s seat or Gauleiter Wolf’s throne.
How is that in any way legit?
FYTW?
We will count them 3 days from now when we have all the ballots we need.
It’s a joke. They are going to turn it into a complete circus of lawsuits and fraud.
Trump can actually win tonight without pa. Which would be funny. Predictors would be extra wrong.
Pennsylvania is not going to take part in this presidential election until they’re forced to, or until it’s already been decided by everybody else; whichever comes first.
We are stubbornly stupid lot. Or was it stupidly stubborn?
Well Looks like the reporting on that was false. Still counting votes.
It seems likely to me the GOP will eventually get to 50 in the Senate (after the GA runoff). Whether they make it to 51…
RCP says that GOP took NC with 100% of the vote in, but hasn’t called it for them.
It is pretty damn close, so i expect it’s because they think there will be a recount.
Excellent. Most important outcome.
It’s being reported Fox made the call for Biden on Arizona based entirely off early ballots and not a single ballot cast today. No one else has called Arizona yet.
Trump is also still up in VA with 98% of votes in. Fox hasn’t updated VA from 64% of the vote.
Yep…what fucking bullshit. FOX apparently DRUDGED (skinsuited).
Where do you see this 98% of votes?
That’s PJ is reporting. I’m seeing different totals on all the news sites. The official VA.gov elections page has Trump ahead by 50k votes but doesn’t give the percentage beyond 2555 precincts of 2585 reporting.
I’m sure it happened long before the no-touchy lawsuits, but, I can’t help but think this left sway involves that. To what degree, I don’t know.
And, what I mean, is that I think they intentionally hired (more) Leftist due to “Conservo-men = pervert”. Gotta keep the other news sources off your back, you know.
I should clarify, I pissed about their just terrible election calling.
I see 64% of votes counted on my tracker for va.
Yeah, Fox has “Fucked” up from the reports i’m seeing. I don’t think it was unintentional
Seemed to me like the dude just now was making a strong argument as to why Trump was probably gonna win. I mean it’s worth it for ratings to keep this exciting but they can’t fake the results or anything.
I don’t think the votes are there for Biden. But they’re right there for Trump. I could be wrong.
So much for the demtards flipping TX. Sorry, Beta.
Looks like California has pushed the Popular Vote for Biden, as he’s leading the Pop Vote now.
Oh noes! Pop vote still doesn’t mean shit, candidates would campaign differently if it did.
(not really directed at you)
Republicans would not be running Trump if it did.
So how is the election going?
good morning glibbies
I see there is one hour left to site shutdown
I looks like we beat the margin of fraud in a lot of places.
Awful. I’ve yet to see a single Firebomb thrown.
The world has already ended Pie. You’re communicating with us through the aether of the Great Beyond.
look Q I’ve been to the Great Beyond before I would know if I was there. So not there yet.
A Biden outright win tonight seems impossible. A Trump outright win is possible. Heading to the courts is possible. That would suggest Trump as the favorite, but…
In any event, the polls did indeed underestimate Trump’s support. That much seems very clear.
I think the behavior in Pennsylvania right now suggests that Trump will win it fairly easily. He apparently did “yuge” with union workers in the exit polling. I’m guessing rural Pennsylvanian’s familiarity with Biden does not work in his favor.
The polls grossly misrepresented to the point it seems like election interference.
I still have 1000 virtual dollars virtually bet on a virtual Biden win
you’re not that virtuous
Tomorrow, Pie will eat his Eel pie and change his posting name to CNN.
Update from NH before I head to bed: The Reopen NH endorsed woman whose state rep campaign I helped out with won. Both Reopen NH endorsed candidates for state rep for my town won.

Idiot voters voted for higher taxes, fake decriminalization, and soft commies for state offices.
One ration of “bad luck”, incoming.
Universal preschool – how is that being funded?
4% income tax (on top of a 9.9% state income tax) on earners over $165k single/$190k joint.
That’s insane.
Yes, yes it is. Thankfully it’s just Multnomah County (portland). For now.
Large part of the population there seems to be utterly disconnected from reality, has zero idea of how the economy works, functions on emoting, and is indulging in a bizarro world that Portlandia doesn’t begin to full capture.
Strange how Democrats city and state strongholds have delays in their counts yet no Republican strongholds have any issues.
Strange? It is. How dare those Republicans not double
countcheck the ballots before submitting!Well all the local things i wanted got defeated.
So yeah. This fucking sucks
Were you optimistic about it? Strange for a libertarian
I’m used to it- my vote is the kiss of death for a candidate.
Stossel’s betting site:
http://maximwebsite.tripod.com/President2020.html
Puts Trump on top.
I just hope the margin is clear when all is said and done.
I don’t like how close it is. WTF is wrong with people voting for commies? But, I think Trump pulls this out.
Ugh….First, he’s grabbing them by the pu-
Wait–you’re talking about the election, aren’t you?
Ernst held her seat in Iowa – my money was well spent.
Looks that way. No one has called it yet that I am familiar with.
But it’s pretty much all rural counties left. So Ernst should definitely win.
of Ernst & Young ?
If Trump takes Michigan and Wisconsin, this thing is over. Tonight. How do the Democrats respond? I don’t think Biden concedes.
He’s going to, and PA. Good night, commies.
Biden won’t concede tonight, if MI and WI stay for Trump. No way Trump would conced if that flipped to a slight loss.
Per CNN, Biden is about to make a statement. My guess he says he won’t concede and that we need to take time to count the votes.
Biden could still win both places. Giant population blocs in big cities still missing.
Turnout in Milwaukee waaaay down as reported on the ground.
RCP has 95% of Wisconsin’s votes in and Trump still has a 4 point lead. I don’t know, looking pretty good there.
None of those get called tonight. They’ve stopped counting in Detroit and Milwaukee.
Seriously, Epstein didn’t kill himself is not the conspiracy theory. What is happening?
My (and many here’s) fear that this thing will drag out for days, seems like it may happen. That sucks. I hope it gets called tonite. They are very slow to call a state for Trump tonite.
The media are not going to let it get called tonight. If they do, Trump wins NC, GA, PA, WI, and MI and it’s over.
Has anyone checked on Nate Silver?
No, we were hoping he jumped off the cliff with Frank Luntz.
So assuming Trump wins, I guess the media can drop all the COVID hysteria and start working on impeachment 2.0.
Don’t assume… something about asses but I don;t remember fully
Well if Biden wins their plan worked and they can drop COVID hysteria and start working on the Truth and Reconciliation committees. Either way COVID is done.
Floor wax and dessert topping.
I don’t think that will happen, but Lord I hope you are right Q. I think they try and keep it up either way.
Hey, ya know how you don’t make a ton of people very skeptical of the voting process. Ya don’t have the Republican out performing polls everywhere and looking good, and then have EVERY Dem stronghold in EVERY state that’s even kind of close ALL stop counting and say they’re going to take a few days.
Milwaukee, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit. All had completely separate issues. Milwaukee; the machine wasn’t counting fast enough. Atlanta; a water leak. Philie; they were just tired.
Even if everything is on the level, that is an awful look. You are begging for people to reject the results if Biden comes from behind because of all those places.
Still seeing Trump up 2 points in VA with 2559 precincts of 2585 reporting
https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Presidential.html
RCP has been stuck at 59% for the longest time with Trump winning by 1.8%.
That means there are over a million uncounted dc suburb votes. Trump is gonna lose that one.
Trump may still lose but I’m seeing the NOVA precincts counted unless I’m missing a county.
On a map in the local Romanian press I already saw VA as setteled for biden
Looking at your link shows Trump down by 5% and a few more precincts in.
Yep, bastards. I feel like Nova is Lucy with the football.
I said this before but it looks like Tillis will win in NC to me. I’d say the GOP Senate control is pretty solid bet.
Which is the best news of the evening. A GOP Senate plus Trump equals more good judges, a GOP Senate plus Biden means the Dems don’t get the worst of their agenda.
a GOP Senate plus Biden means the Dems don’t get the worst of their agenda.
Well . . . until they start “reaching across the aisle” and “compromising”
According to Arizona GOP officials, the lead there largely comes from early votes.
Pennsylvania is now saying they are unlikely to complete their ballot counting by _Friday_.
Fox says they are not going to call GA, NC, and WI tonight because they’re a bunch of fucking pussies.
Can they count how many ballots are left? Why would it take that long? Every other year we are able to wrap this up in pretty much 1 night. Why all of the sudden is that not possible?
Because these places have big, blue cities and they need time to manufacture ballots to swamp the rural areas.
Because Nate Silver and the other members of the pussy league got cucked again.
It looks like a lot of places (places that would be upt till 2 or 3 normally, mind you, want to call it quits.
Every day this drags on the less and less legitimate Biden appears (since he looks to be behind).
See you all on the over side.
Well see you guys post shutdown.
Joe talked to a car then called a lot.
So Trump wins unless shenanigans in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Gap could easily close in both places. Lots of urban places uncounted.
Lots of urban ballots to manufacture.
Either way, they’ll both be trending away from the president.
Trump is going to win WI and GA and they know it. Pussies, calling you out, all media, you suck fucking donkey dicks.
You are very worked up this morning
Shut up, you vampire worshipper, you’re going to be eating Eel pie and changing your name to CNN!
dude Trump will not win
One more day before your Eel Pie, CNN.
I will not eat Eel Pie and Ham
I’m not convinced he’ll win Wisconsin.
AP calling TX for Trump. On my handy AP map widget, doing the math, if Trump takes GA, NC, WI, and MI, that puts him at… 269. Madness.
Don’t forget our frozen friends in Alaska that would neatly put him at 272.
I just saw that. AP map had them as not reporting.
Do you see Alaska flipping?
Nah. I’m just drinking and typing numbers into a calculator. I was leaving everything else for Biden. AK gonna go Trump.
Every state except GA that hasn’t reported has a Democrat Governor. Coincidence?
They’re all together on a frantic zoom call right now trying to figure out how to fix this disaster.
That will be the next Project Veritas video.
It’s not the glib chat, only 3 of us left, and I think I’m the only one awake.
CNN and NBC talking heads appear concerned to me. Watching Chuck Todd squirm while conjuring up scenarios where Biden wins is worth staying up for.
Check Todd squirms no matter what . . .what a smarmy little fucker
The NYT’s switching the odds in Georgia to Biden makes no sense. Not just a small shift, but some 40% percentage points despite no significant gains from Biden in his lead.
OBE said Vegas betting odds are 90% for Trump.
Hm… I don’t know the breakdown of the remaining 5% of the vote, but if they’re all in an urban county yeah Biden could be favored now.
They are making up fake votes in Atlanta right now and will resume counting at 8am.
CBS talking about how the Rushuns hacked voting machines in 2016…
So, while a lot of votes are still out (CA and NY at 65% in, TX & IL at 80%), it’s looking clear that the polls missed the mark. The final RCP average was Biden +7.2, and he’s currently at +1.4. I imagine Biden’s tally will increase, but he’s probably not going to get above +3, meaning the polls were off by 4. There’s definitely a shy Trump vote.
Or a mischievous Trump poll taker.
Also a very real possibility.
Biden has given a speech saying he “is on the path to victory” essentially sealing that this will be thrown into tomorrow and probably Thursday at the earliest.
The media are not going to save him after Trump wins GA, NC, PA, WI, and MI.
It is fucking beyond shameful that they do not call this tonight.
My question is that they are hoping for a lot of mail in ballots, but don’t we know how many outstanding mail in ballots there are? Its not like they count todays and then go count the mail in ballots, all the mail in ballots that have been sent have been counted no?
Trump is leading in Wisconsin by fewer than 100,000. Milwaukee does not announce their votes until 3 AM. 300,000 people from Milwaukee voted for Mrs. Clinton last election.
It’s basically the same deal in Michigan but they’re not as far along.
The margins in George and North Carolina are razor thin, and I don’t know the distribution in those places.
This is absolutely not over by any stretch.
Major Garrett, who when he was at Fox I kind of liked, is on the CBSN talking about how poll workers are the new ‘essential workers’ because they have to work all night. welcome to the club pal.
I just watched that shit, and Trump was on a juggernaut speed train to have this called and called early tonight. The media are a bunch of cowardly pussies who need their diapers changed.
TMITE
It doesn’t matter what the media calls, what matters is what the state election boards say. If the state boards haven’t called it, then I’m fine with the media not calling it.
I don’t see how Biden can win Pennsylvania. He’s down by 700,000 votes and would need to win roughly 70% of the outstanding votes. Biden is only getting like 72% in Philadelphia County.
I don’t see how he could possibly make up that difference without raising quite a few eyebrows. The math doesn’t seem to work. The only way would be like massive voter turnout (like 135%) in places like Philadelphia.
Did you do the math? Interesting.
Yeah if there’s 2 million votes left and Biden takes 70% of them, he wins by less than 100,000 votes. The county with the lowest percentage counted so far (Bucks), currently has Trump up by 15. That should narrow, but making up 15 percentage points with 70% of the votes in would have to be completely unprecedented. That’s nuts.
I’ll just jump in here. Biden is fucking toast. The votes are not there. This is much closer than I thought it would be. But Trump has this.
On the NYT, they have a blurb about Erie County:
“Erie County, Pa., counted 13,121 mail ballots, which Biden won 5 to 1. There are 37,000 mail votes still out; Dems expect him to carry them by at least 3 to 1. That means he would win this bellwether county.”
Currently with 70% of the vote in, Trump is up by 15 points in that county (he won it by 1.6 in 2016). But the mail in ballots are gonna come in 80/20 for Biden? If they do, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to have a close look at them.
To put it more simply, Trump has more votes now than Clinton got in 2016 (about 2,000) with only 73% reporting. And Pennsylvania’s population hasn’t grown much if at all.
Why hasn’t NC been called for Trump? All outlets are saying 100% of the vote and T has a solid lead.
Because Biden needs it to win? I don’t know. Are there outstanding mail in ballots?
Because they’re a bunch of fucking pussies.
The AP says 95%, but I don’t know why I keep looking there.
Is the media colluding so brazenly with the DNC that they are planting stories that throw doubt on the election results long enough for ballots to appear and claims of disenfranchisement to be credible? That seems to be the only way to defeat Trump.
2016 taught them very little.
RCP has 99% of Georgia’s votes reporting with a Trump maintaining a 3 point lead.
Look. The Media and DNC have been saying it won’t be decided on election night for the last few months and Gosh Damnit it won’t be decided on Election night!
It’s because they have a vastly different (and probably wrong) estimate of the overall number of votes.
https://results.decisiondeskhq.com/
They have the same thing. I refuse to subscribe to the NYT’s but even they have estimated over 90% reporting.
The vote numbers haven’t changed in the last 30 min either, so they aren’t counting anymore.
Well let’s just do a little math here. Fulton County went to Clinton by a 170,000 vote advantage in the 2016 election.
They’ve reported almost nothing so far in 2020.
If I were a betting man, I’d say Georgia goes blue.
NYT’s, which has fewer votes reported so far and is behind, has 72% of Fulton reporting.
if that’s the case, then Trump
may squeak this out.
Counterpoint: CNN and Fox have Fulton in at 72% and 96%, respectively, and the numbers are close to what they were in 2016, so while I’m sure GA tightens I’m not so sure it goes blue.
Where are you looking to get your data man?
There’s something shady about this broken pipe story. It occurred where the ballots were stored not counted and. It ballots were damaged. So why did that delay the count?
absolutely
Sorry tired typing * The ballots were not damaged.
So, if Trump happens to win, an interesting facet from the CNN exit polls is that he has indeed increased his minority support (albeit not by large margins) across the board. Comparing 2016 to 2020 exit polls, Trump held steady with whites and gained 4 points with each other ethnic group measured (blacks, hispanics, asians, and other). Notably, Trump won 40% of hispanics in TX and 47% in Florida, so I don’t think the demographics is destiny idea is holding up too well.
What Nate Silver is pushing:
Nate Silver
@NateSilver538
If you just go by what ABC News has called (we’re on the conservative side tonight)… Biden’s win probability would go from 69% to 85% based on NE-2 being called! That one electoral vote makes a huge amount of difference.
LP Candidate for Treasurer got 14% of the vote.
Granted there was no Dem running for that spot so…
Just went to the kitchen to make breakfast and I am pout of eggs. I blame Trump. I hope Joe wins so I don’t run put of eggs no more
Shut your whore mouth with that Biden talk.
I was gonna slap him, hayek, but I think it would be much sexier if you did it. And Trump still wins.
CBSN talking about Trump’s upcoming announcement “In a free press” the press coverage would be different, and then go on to talk about how it’s due to VIRUS! protocol, BUT! the people aren’t being forced to wear masks! Oh, and people may be eating or drinking!? Is it being paid for by tax dollars?! Trump campaign says ‘no’, but it might be a violation of The Hatch Act!
So did the upgrade the flux capacitor at midnight? Page seems to be loading faster. Still a bit slow but much better than yesterday.

Here who comes?
T Dog speech, rambling like ever and ornery.
I wish it was me, but the fiance lost all sex drive when she got pregnant
Trump gets announced like a wrestler! I have feeling this will be a Hat speech.
So, down-ballot it’s looking like the Rs keep the Senate and the Ds keep the House. Fans of divided government can break out the champagne.
Man, Melania looks on the verge of tears, she married for money, she didn’t sign up for this shit.
She didn’t want it four years ago and she’s facing another four year sentence. My god, I think she may be the best First Lady since the first two years of the Van Buren presidency. Certainly the hottest.
Agreed, it’s one of those jobs where not wanting to do out makes you better at it.
Definitely a Hat speech.
Hopefully it provides some choice quotes for another H&H. I’m hoping that even if Trump loses, we still get a few more of those before the transition. Really, the most exciting thing about a potential Trump win is 4 more years of H&H in both its incarnations.
So, who was it came up with the greatest glibertarian phrase ever since the orginal STEVE SMITH, you or SF?
I mean I can’t keep using it without giving credit.
MAGA HAT: Whoever doesn’t love the Donald is a libtard fake news.
Everything in either incarnation belongs to said author. That quote is from the cartoon, so me.
Also, don’t misquote me: Hat: Whoever doesn’t love
theDonald is a libtard [or] fake news.I didn’t mean to do so. Now thank me for making it better: Who ever doesn’t love the Donald is a libtard fake news.
Thanks me later, CPRM, I’m here all day and that shit is yours for free.
You’re now the greatest since SF came up with the STEVE SMITH rape squatch.
Thanks for letting me steal your material, sir.
It’s great, he has teleprompters, but he pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his coat pocket. Talk about going off script.
It will be close, but i really don’t see Biden being able to close the gap in WI.
Trump ‘Castrating The Facts, falsely claiming victory, Disenfranchising voters, sadly because of the pandemic, and the administration’s failure to stop the pandemic’ – CBS News
As opposed to Biden saying he “was on his way to victory”.
PBS taking heads are going insane at the Trump speech.
Trump just did not give a fuck with that speech. Basically just called them out with no fear of the negative headlines he knew they’d write.
Yeah, he really did. The Dems are very much going to try and steal this one. Let’s see if they can pull it off. Against any Republican but Trump they’d succeed, but they may very well get foiled.
I’m done, this train is going to crash whether or not i’m there to watch it. See ya’ll in the morning.
Even if Biden loses, the number of increasingly blue states is depressing. I don’t see red states growing like that and don’t see large population historically blue states flipping. The long march is winning.
If academia and the public sector somehow collapsed under the bloatage, all of those true believers aren’t going to give up their fantasies and say ‘hey, you know what, we were wrong all along’ and change their ways. They’ll either move into somewhere else and poison it or become an actual insurgency. What do you do with a large chunk of the population that is anti American, lacks actual useful skills, and is demoralized (of morality, not morale)?
I don’t think number of blue states is really increasing.
Trump just really sucks.
Except in the midwest where the dude is a god.
I think it’s more than that. The down ballot races are showing similar movement. How do you slam the Overton window on the fingers of these leftists and start to restore normalcy?
I think these are not normal times.
My suburb here in Texas has been red for… oh… like since just after Kennedy And they voted for the Republican senator by like a 5% higher margin than Trump. Same damn voters.
They just don’t like him here. He’s an asshole New Yorker.
But then I drive up the country at our little place in Oklahoma and there are Trump parades and banners everywhere. They fucking love the dude. They are so much more enthusiastic about him than they ever were from any Bush.
Things are just…different now. And interesting.
Even if Biden loses, the number of increasingly blue states is depressing. I don’t see red states growing like that and don’t see large population historically blue states flipping. The long march is winning.
Counterpoint: WI, MI, and PA are historically blue states that flipped last time (for the first time in 28 years) and right now are competitive. Also, the purple states of OH and FL went fairly strongly against Biden, so I don’t think it is correct to posit that the trends are pointing only and inexorably in one direction. I don’t think the future looks bright, but I don’t think it is lost either. Plus, to get away from the partisanship, some issues have trended in the right direction in recent decades: gun rights have expanded and drug prohibitions have decreased. It’s not all bad out there!
Wisconsin…Historically Blue…was that before or after we had a Republican governor for 16 years in the 90-ots?
I agree, we are historically purple, and sadly the birthplace of both the Republican party AND the Progressive movement (but they were one and the same at the beginning of the P).
Purple, that’s the worst fucking color! I mean, I can cheer for the Bears and the Lions, but FUCK the Fucking Vikings!
Well, I’m not overly familiar with WI politics, were the R govs moderates or conservatives? Because blue states do seem to like moderate Rs, just see VT, MA, & MD at the moment. But maybe WI is purple, and the edge just happened to tip blue 12 times straight at the presidential level. Stranger things have happened.
I’m bad at math at this hour – 8 straight times, not 12.
Tommy Thompson (1987-2001) started pushing Work-fare instead of Welfare. He’s the one that was gov for 16 yrs. He was a leftsist as far as I’m concerned, but was was called an arch-conservative.
then from 01-03 Republican Scott McCallum (I didn’t live here in that time frame, so I don’t know much about his administration.
Then Jim Doyle (D)
Scott Walker (R)
AsshatTony Evers (D)Gun rights, outside of a couple of lucky cases which haven’t been upheld in principle and the lucky sunset provision of the AWB, have largely moved backwards at the federal level over the past ~30 years. Some states have grudgingly gotten better while others have gone far worse. And the gun grabbers have aped those state level successes by increasingly focusing there and below to move the ratchet.
If everyone shagged out yet? Here it is a sunny morning hope it keeps up so I can go for a nice walk later.
I’m awake.
I’m not here though.
you should be sleeping. Busy day at work tomorrow
You fucking Ableist piece of shit!
I should be able to sleep knowing the Senate is likely still going to block the Democrats from authoritarian control of the government for at least another 2 year, but I still can’t sleep.
Ditto.
I’m now way way too curious.
The fact that all the news agencies aren’t going to declare a winner tonight tells me it’s a Trump win. This is unprecedented in modern politics, to refuse to call an election. The results of 2000 dragged on through recounts and Supreme Court procedure, but at least they called it. Welcome to the ‘Free Riot’ bonus level!
I don’t think it’s over yet.
But the big jumps i’m dreading for Biden still aren’t happening as things tick up.
Achievement unlocked
The fact they are still ‘protesting’ in a place that is 99.9999% ‘pure’ for their cause is laughable. I mean, it was the blacks protesting in the non Jim Crow states that were the True Heroes, right?
Smug little shitbird that should be swinging from the gallows
But, he’s impartial and non-partisan. Clearly of better stock than those…others.
‘Trump claims victory, without clear path’ – CBS news after Trump’s speech……….a couple hours ago when Biden said there was a clear path to victory for him they clapped like trained seals.
He said “as far as I’m concerned we’ve already won”. I’m not sure I’d classify that as a false claim of victory.
Shut the fuck up Trumpatard! We don’t need to hear your racist ideas!
Lock him up! Lock him up!
Some good news at least: the libertarian party is slightly more popular than Kanye West.
How is that good news? I think Kanye is more coherent (not that hard, but pretty sad) than the official LP platform.
Alt-right, it’s pretty dead here (sorry Urthona) and it’s clear the media have no plan to actually call this thing, so I’m gonna watch Mike and Rich Evans talk about Star Trek.
have no plan to actually call this thing,- can it be called? I doubt it.
Mike and Rich Evans talk about Star Trek. – nerd
Bunch of hack frauds.
Good morning everyone. Sorry I passed out on the zoom thingy.
SP, thank you so much for all your hard work keeping this wee slice of sanity up and running for us. This year in particular, y’all have been preventing me from enacting my Texas Tower fantasies.
Good morning, l0! I hope the coast is clear to comment. I may log out and just lurk to see if SP gives an official okee-dokee.
It’s fine. Or as fine as it’s going to get today. 😉
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
^^^ Even if I bent the rules a little this morning. Sorry, SP. It will happen again ;-).
Morning.
I was up until close to four, and was logged in to work by 6:30, so I’m probably running on two hours of sleep.
I hope the disappearance of the comment asking us to log out means commenting is okay again.
Yes.
Thank you for the positive confirmation, and all your contributions.
I gave up a little after 2. At least you don’t have to commute. Across town. ::slurps down more coffee::
Glad I’ve already finished the more fiddly month-end financial reports.
We’re just testing file transfers. Since the stuff I’m responsible for has been working for a long time, I mostly have to look at logs, or switch between the current and the new configurations. (it’s the insurance company that’s got a new product they’re still having issues with)
And I may have to open a firewall request, but the hard work is assigned to my subordinate (getting the rules together).
So I can probably sleepwalk though the workday.
I’ve gotten about 4hrs of sleep in the last 36hrs.
Fun.
I muted you in case you started sleep talking crazy, or farting. Saul Goodman.
FREE SPEECH SOOPRESHUN!
Everyone knows that sleep farts are innocent little puffs.
*looks around suspiciously*
I guess the world didn’t end (yet)?
Not until PA decides when it’s going to stop counting new votes.
Fuck, I woke up expecting this shit to be over. Silly me.
The cheatin’ ain’t over until the fat lady sings. Take that to a run-on Bank. 700,000 votes in Penn. I hope the Supremes slap this shit down.
You’ve earned your wings, now Comrade! We should commission a special ribbon for those of us so drunkentired that we actually fall asleep on the Zoom. “The Loyal Order of Hyperbole”! We get to wear the ribbon on the chats but have to keep it in the panty drawer when offline. Nobody cares.
Somehow ABC has Biden leading by like 2,000 votes now in Wisconsin. Those Milwaukee cars have rather large trunks.
They rented a uhaul for the night.

Well, those will skew Drumpf, that’s closer to my area, not Meeleewawkay. But, there will be more ballots in trunks down that way, I’m sure.
21,000 more votes counted in the last 15 minutes? Ballot machines go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Bevelyn Beatty and some Proud Boys stabbed in DC.
So I take a couple of Benadryl and call it an early night and I wake up to a predictable shitshow. Still looks like Trump has it in a squeaker and with the timely intercession of lawyers he’s won.

She won.
Wasn’t following the race, what was the alternative?
Dunno. She’s very pro 2A. That’s why I’m aware of her.
https://www.postindependent.com/news/in-continued-defiance-of-health-orders-shooters-grill-takes-dining-outside/
Her restaurant servers open carry.
Must apologize to SP. I didn’t follow instructions until much later in the comments.
I followed instructions the moment I saw them. Which means very late
Are we there yet?
No, go back to sleep.
They’re saying Biden got ~93% of the vote in Detroit.
Sounds legit.
I mean it kind of does.
Stock market showing a Trump win (solar stocks and the like down)
Buuut now Vegas has Biden as -200
2 to 1 favorite.
My workplace was unusually quiet last night and the Supervisor let them off a half hour early. These are mighty Progs. I think the writing is on the wall. When I was in the lunchroom one of Nthem checked his phone and remarked “Trump just won Florida. Guess I’ll never go back!” How Not To Be Seen is an underrated talent. I’m pretty sure these people, many of whom I call friends would have my guts for garters if they knew anything about my politics.
I think the writing is on the wall. – what does it say?
‘Killroy was here’
“Here I sit, Broken-hearted…”
“Here I sit, tired and dirty. Trying to hide until 4:30”.
“Here I sit on Company time, Boss makes a Dollar, I make a dime”
In all seriousness it plays out in the Court. Hard to believe that we’re still dealing with a broken system 20 years after Bush/Gore but here we are. Fucking cheating Dems are shameless and the Rethuglicans are the kid that you deke like a pylon every time. “I’m going left!” Repub goes left too. Dem breezes past and scores low blocker side on the befuddled Supreme Court.
Shenanigans ensue.
Biden: 270
Trump: 268
It’s mostly mail ballots in these battleground states and Biden is closing the gap in all of them. I think Trump is done. Starting to worry Dems are making gains in key senate battles too.
I think Trump is done – was it ever a doubt in this election? I am not trying to troll as some would think but it was always very unlikely for Trump to win
Last night he was a 5-1 favorite at one time. Looked like he was going to pull it off. Not anymore.
No, the media designed polls to make it seem that way. Trump smashed through Florida, NC, GA, Ohio, and PA. The Dems were primed and ready in PA to stop the count if it looked like Trump was winning while they grab more Biden votes.
The media are co-conspirators in this, essentially an unregistered arm of the Democrat Party. They delayed calling for Trump and the tech companies have taken down anything that questions the fraud being committed in PA.
which will be in the end not really relevant
It is relevant if you are asking if Trump losing was ever in doubt. Many of us said he would win in a fair election but it remained to be seen how much fraud the Dems and media would commit and be able to pull off.
This seems to be exactly the scenario that is now playing out.
I honestly never though of in in the terms of “fair election”. Only who is declared winner.
As Stalin pointed out: Who votes doesn’t matter a bit. What matters is who counts the votes (and by default who manufactures the votes to be counted). Trump won this election, but the deep state can still steal it and has planned from the start to do just that.
This.
Shenanigans gonna end up in court.
Amy Coney Barrett.
So is NC still counting? the numbers havn’t changed since i went to bed lastnight.
They have not yet given team blue the time to manufacture the needed votes, so yes, they are still counting…
Has the red district in Maine been called yet? I know Biden got the blue Nebraska EC.
Ranked choice voting is slowing the results, they say.
Only if he got less than 50%. Which is possible, I guess, but Jo doesn’t have that many votes to spread around.
Why is a worthless state like ME doing all the cool electoral stuff…I may have just answered my own question.
The spite in Mara Liasson’s voice this morning indicates that things did not go as planned for Biden last night.
Heh. No. It went down the shitshow road. And now SCOTUS will have to pay the piper that is due for punting on questions for the last month.
I don’t see any results coming out of Monroe Michigain… Did it get nuked or something?
Did the smokeshow in the red dress win her seat in Balmer?
GF told me she did not
I think she got like 27%.
27% and a gig at OANN. Good for her!

Well, AZ has turned into CA.
Legal pot passed.
Income tax increase “for the children” passed.
Two leftist Senators.
You were kinda fucked that you had McSally running, because she is an awful campaigner. How can the state of “Constitutional Carry” elect Kelly? Because they don’t know what he stands for.
At least he’ll face reelection in 2 years.
“Ref cheated!”
McSally never made gun control an issue.
Stupidly. But she’s a terrible campaigner.
What is the total Senate count thus far?
GOP -1 with about 6 races not called yet.
Though It seems that Tillis won, though i can’t find any info on why NC is not done counting.
All it will take is one apparatchik with one trunk of ballots. They told the American People that they were going to cheat to win and here we are. I hated Reagan and his Moral Majority bullshit when I was a lad but this is third-world. This needs not slapping but choked the life out of and left in the ditch. They know it, Reps know it and nearly half of your population knows it. Amy Coney Barrett is going to save your Republic for another four years.
Two leftist Senators.
But the guy on the teevee just said Mark Kelly is a moderate!
Wanting to confiscate your guns doesn’t make him a leftist, I guess.
Biden: 270
Trump: 268
MANDATE!!!!11!!
That and a faithless elector throwing it to the House would be hilarious.
Anything that leads to a House vote would be awesome.
Yeah. I’m still waiting to see how some of these house votes shake up. GOP +4 right now but still a ton that havn’t been called. If the GOP can keep it’s control over delegations a House Vote would be… well next level controversial.
