Michigan going to Biden... confirmed by CNN at least. Just Nevada now and then we're done.
-
She was. And Trump looked depressed as fuck In fairness to Trump, he's not done anywhere near as badly as I thought he would... it's a fucking close thing.
-
Crowder put that out there. Seems to have grabbed a few of their side but I've seen a decent number call it fake too.
-
They were? I don't remember now. So much of our last election was repugnant that individual aspects don't stand out.
-
Agreed. Although I think we can at least consider it good from our side tbf, but in the US itself I think this is a fairly empty gesture. They're in serious trouble - two sides, one with an insane vision - the mantle for which I understand is going to be taken up by either Ted Cruz or Tucker Carlson - and one side with nothing to offer except desperately pointing to the other side and saying 'look how bad they are'. The US is genuinely fucked.
-
I think the closer they get to losing, the more they're prepared to literally try anything.
-
Biden has nothing to offer anyway, he's nothing more than a 'not Trump' candidate. The important thing is the symbolism behind trump being defeated. It's the first successful counterattack we've made against the populist right, anywhere in the world.
-
Trump has declared victory in PA No basis whatsoever, naturally, but declared it anyway.
-
It does feel like we can finally breathe easy. Hopefully this has an immediate knock on effect at our end.
-
Did Biden declare victory and then call the whole thing into question? I must have missed that
-
Damn straight. I've spent the last 4 years studying his technique. I'll be off to the Supreme Court shortly
-
I'm not going to bother getting into this as everyone has had their fun already, suffice to say that one claim I shot down myself and that the overall thrust I was going for was "these are the arguments being put forward". Have at it though
-
To be clear, as I thought I originally was, these are the claims being made and which I expect to become central to what their argument
-
The other claim...
-
I mean, I know I've just checked myself and Wisconsin's total registered voters comes in at 3.6m. Total votes counted is 3.2m. So there goes that claim. But this is the sort of angle that they're apparently going to be pushing I suppose.
-
They are circulating through the right wing internet. No idea if they're true but these are the sorts of claims being made.
-
There's some worryingly arguable credibility to some of these claims mind you. Which isn't to say I believe them, but there are some questions that may need answering: 1 - 140,000 votes just turned up in Michigan in one bundle without a single vote for Trump. This is being claimed at least - if true, it's weird indeed. 2 - More people have voted in Wisconsin than are registered to vote. So... this is the sort of angle they're going to be taking.
-
Yeah I'm hopeful too. Still can't believe how close this is...
-
Ok so actually then, a draw means Trump wins.
-
That... is weird. So the House would choose Biden and the Senate would choose Pence?? I assumed the popular vote would come in at that point tbh.
-
The American way. I can't believe how close this is mind, for all that Biden could make it look clear cut in the end by picking up all these swing states, that would mask how close to absolute tragedy we have come.
-
It's actually possible apparently that they draw level. What happens then? Penalties?
-
The race stands at 238 electoral votes for Biden to 213 for Trump, with six battleground states outstanding. If Biden can hang on to a narrow lead in Nevada, and seal the deal in Wisconsin, any additional state – North Carolina (15 electoral votes), Georgia (16), Michigan (16) or Pennsylvania (20) – brings him victory. /Guardian
-
Maybe so, but they don't look that safe to me based on this evidence.
