Trump saying he'll plan to execute the pathetic, desperate plan they telegraphed from two months away of taking this to the Supreme Court.

Says he's going to the Supreme Court to stop counting. Claims fraud. eff this guy.

this is really interesting. the wapo model is pretty confident on how many votes trump will end up with in georgia, but has a wide range of possibilities for biden's total.

Just got another dump, the margin is just slightly over 100,000 now. NBC are estimating just over 400,000 votes left. If the margins continue their pace, Biden will have a slight win.

Still some trump counties left out there in Wisconsin, but it's going to be hard for trump to retake the lead.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #1831 on:** November 04, 2020, 04:04:33 AM »

Milwaukee County now reporting at 100%, Biden's lead has slightly shrunk. Vote left out is in Kenosha and Green Bay.

Correct, but to think the person who received the most votes in the history of the country actually didn't win, that's insane. Nothing will change.

People are already wondering "what the democrats have to do to reach Americans like Donald Trump does."

Who ever could have possibly seen that the democrats playing from the same playbook that has left them asking this same stupid ass question would have yielded the same results. Biden still may win this election, maybe even likely, but that party desperately needs a rebuild. They can start by ousting Nancy, let's see if now they will actually get courage from the wizard.

The majority of Americans are Donald trump.

Arrogant, fat, stupid, uneducated.

That’s the dem problem.

With basically just Detroit, the suburbs of it, and mail ins, I think MI is pretty much Bidens now. WI is closer but the mail ins are also pretty much what is left, so I think Biden hangs on.

We probably won't know today unless GA goes to Biden, which is going to be pretty damn close not matter who wins. PA only mail ins now pretty much too, but that's a large gap, we'll see as those come in. Winning 75% of that isn't unreasonable given how much Biden has won early voting/mail in in general.

Nevada also probably Biden's since only mail ins left, but damn them for not giving us results til Thursday.

Uhh, Biden is gonna win the pop vote by a decent amount. A large, but still, minority of voting Americans are conservative or moderate right leaning and geographically/structurally where they live works out for them.

if peeps sat this out cuss Biden wasn't transformative/liberal enough they are at the margins rn and can't be expected to create some demographic advantage.

People did sit this out because Biden isn't transformative enough. Trump won Miami-Dade because he turns out the vote, he energizes his people. He doesn't appeal to a majority of Americans, not even close. What he does do is that he excites and energizes people who identify with him. MAGA doesn't account for all of his voters, but you can bet your ass no MAGAs sat home. The only time democrats attempted what even looked like a different direction they ran away with the presidency and won down ballot as well.

They are going to win this presidency, but I'm afraid they won't learn a damn thing from it, today may as well be the day after election day in 2012.

Don't give a crap right now as long as this plays out. We can bitch about all of that once it's over IMO.

I am very surprised by the turnout for Trump. Very thankful it wasn't enough.

this would be a more convincing argument if pretty much every single democrat on a ballot with biden except steve bullock and roy cooper didn't do worse than him.

Can someone explain the current situation to me? I just got up and went on Twitter and it's just a bunch of stupid nonsense. I can't figure out what's going on.

A lot of mail in ballots are still being counted in the key states. People tend to believe that the majority of these are going to be blue. They are mostly coming from major metropolitan areas.

Betting sites all turning heavily for biden. That's what I'm watching.

Are you allowed to count mail in ballots before Election Day? You should be, then you can have them all counted and just add the election day votes to it.

Depends on the state

Differs by state. For example, PA is not allowed to start counting them until 7am on Election Day.
