2020 General Election Thread

[star seed 7]

BITB is retweeting photos of ballots in a trashcan and i am rolling.

Yes that one is hilarious. "THIS IS IN OKLAHOMA!"

[sonofdaxjones]

As it stands right now:

WI:  Biden +20k  99% in
AZ:  Biden +15k  98% in
GA:  Biden +12k  99% in
MI:  Biden +150k  99% in
NV:  Biden +36k  97% in
PA:  Biden +47k  98% in
NC:  Trump +75k  98 in

There is no reason Trump should not concede at this point.  It's time for transition teams to come in.  America picked their President.

That's .002% of the total votes cast.

Your party would be demanding a recount across the board if the situation were reversed.

Again, Dems aren't my party.  My party is the ones demanding the recount and it is ridiculous.  If you think Trump is going to get 100% of votes left to count in WI, MI, PA, AZ, NV, and GA you are delusional.  Also, PA law does not require a recount if gap is > .5%.  Right now it is at .7% and climbing.  WI will only pay for a recount if the margin of victory is under .25%....so right now Trump needs to open his checkbook if he wants one there.  The rest of the states are irrelevant, though it looks like Biden won all but NC.

I believe our constitution stipulates that state legislatures control elections in individual states, not the courts.   It is not the least bit surprising or unusual that any campaign would seek remedy in court in a situation where a state court over stepped their lane.   The SCOTUS was wrong to pass on that case.

Exactly, such a demand in recounts were warranted, where WI was won by more trump than Biden at this point, MI was won by trump by 11k, not 150k, byt trump then, and PA was won 45k. And I recall no STOP THE COUNT! or mass cringing over recounts. Just utter shock that it happened.

FWIW, comparos

WI:  trump +22k
AZ:  trump +91k
GA:  trump +211k
MI:  trump +10k
NV:  hilldog +27k
PA:  trump +45k
NC:  trump +173k

[Phil Titola]

Does dax not see the difference between crazy supporters not giving up and the actual candidate conceding?

Come on trump, try not to be a narcissistic prick just once. We have a country to keep living in.

Dax:it’s criminal that the courts are intervening when the legislature determines voting practices!

Also Dax: it’s criminal that SCOTUS passed on the opportunity to decide how these votes should be counted!

You are extremely confused.

SCOTUS should have taken up the matter as to whether the PA courts had the right to intervene.

That's how our system works.

The calls from the dems and the media for trump to concede is annoying and hypocritical. Al Gore didn't concede until December 13th. Why can't they just STFU until the recounts and lawsuits are done? Crying for a concession everyday for the next 6 weeks isn't going to help anything.

[waks]

As many times as Dax is wrong, what he is saying here isn't contradictory and makes sense. Although I believe the number of votes a potential court case would impact numbers in the hundreds so it will ultimately be a waste of time.

Not really comparable. Gore lost by 536 votes in ONE state. Trump is getting beaten by literally 30x that (if not more) in Michigan, in Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania, in Arizona, in Georgia, and in Nevada.

I think that's the point. Technically speaking the president should be able to explore any and all legal avenues. However, in this case it's clear it's just Trump being a baby and it hurts the country in more ways than one.

It's more of the framing of fraud 100% happened at a large scale and concluding that the election is being stolen that were telegraphed months ago. Otherwise I really wouldn't gaf about him asking for recounts or for verification/trying to investigate legitimate fraud while he doesn't concede initially. Some of the stuff would still irk me like the Harris Co thing.

The "framing of fraud 100% happened" damages another pillar of government in this country. The transition delay hurts democrats, which Republicans may cheer, but is also not good for the country.

The calls of fraud are 100% problematic, but of course we knew it was coming, he's done it for four years with an election he won. That still doesn't mean the democrats need to whine about him conceding, before he needs to. Also,.we aren't close to the point where the transition not fully being carried out is a problem, it's been like 3 days.

[steve dave]

yeah, MAGAs are rightly being mocked to death for the screaming of fraud but them just wasting their own time, money, and efforts in court is actually good imo. the best way to mock it is just ignore it and move forward as president elect (which for the most part is happening so that's good)
