Election Day [Week][Month[s]] [Year] 2020 follow-along thread

Clever!

My neighbor gave me a bottle of this last Christmas, and I’ve had it in the fridge unopened ever since. Just broke into it for a wee tot and a big toast to Joe & Kamala!

Mr. POTUS glib lyes.
Mr big POTUS yells.

A batch of 3000 ballots were just reported in AZ that were 80-20 in favor of Trump. Biden needs some good results from the Maricopa batch coming in a few hours.

Yeah, if the Democrats had 50 actual Democrats. At 50/48/2, McConnell might argue for “Plurality Leader” status.

He can’t, because the majority and minority aren’t broken by party, but by caucus

But, note that Biden still has a lead of over 36,000 votes in AZ. As long as the Maricopa batch isn’t crazy-good for Trump, I’m not too worried.

kaylasdad99, I am instructing you not to call on coding horror outside the Site Feedback forum. Do not do this again. That’s jerkish. I am editing your post to remove the @.

GOP turning to the classics in their hour of need, Cory Lewandoski just told Fox that he has affadavits proving that Dems are counting ballots submitted by dead people.

Some tropes never get old…

It sounds implausible … until you hear that their Exhibit 1 was filled out by Donald Trump :wink:

I just bought more bourbon. Should I have a cocktail to celebrate, possibly jinxing the outcome, or to numb myself so this interminable wait doesn’t give me the screaming Mimis?

I don’t see this as an either-or situation.

Two drinks.

That makes sense. Thanks. I’ll crack open the bottle now.

It’s getting dangerous out there.

I want to celebrate, but every time I check, Biden’s lead has fluctuated – mostly down slightly, but it’s come back a bit too. So my corn ‘n’ oil cocktail is more of a nerve calmer than a celebratory drink. I have a fair amount of confidence, but I can’t stop myself from watching the numbers changing. I hope these final states soon get to the point where what’s left isn’t enough, and they can be called.

Let’s just have a drink to celebrate the fact that, at this very time, Donald Trump is freaking out and having a bad time. Fuck you, Trump.

Also a bit late for the MSM to start explicitly calling him a liar. Seems like a serendipitous confluence of events.

I’d be willing to bet some dead people votes were counted.

Thing is, it happens in every election. Some people will vote early and die before election day. The people running the scanners can’t possibly know that.

But is it an issue? Nope…I doubt it amounts to many votes at all and it happens to both republicans and democrats. The Grim Reaper knows no political boundaries.

It certainly is not election fraud unless he can show a whole cemetery of people voted.

Doubtless he knows all of that but is being a dick about it. What’s more, if he can find those votes, then the system is working. It is finding and rejecting those votes.
