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

Or, it means a return to the old days, when there was a limit to who could own how many tv/radio stations, and there was the fairness doctrine. What, we can’t return to the ‘good old days’ to ‘make America great again?’

Fox called Arizona and then retracted. However it does look over. Trump is 200,000 votes behind and it’s hard to see where he makes that up.

Ah, yes - ‘tyranny’s great, as long as it’s for my side.’

The character of the country is on trial tonight. We should have hired a better attorney.

No, we should have a better jury.

American elections should be about which candidate can better improve the lives of the people, not about whether those lives should be improved.

The Republican party’s stance is that they should not be, which is among the reasons they have no place in American democracy.

And a more merciful executioner.

…which is the messaging the Republicans have been using for months.

But FTR I’m not on board with locking people up just for disagreeing with me politically. I’d get sued for brand infringement.

That is… absolutely not true.

Current votes reported:

Dallas: 89%
Harris (Houston): 85%
Fort Bewnd (Houston suburbs) 96%
Williamson (Austin suburbs): Apparently complete
Travis (Austin): 90%
Hays (Austin suburbs): Complete
Bexar (San Antonio):: 93%
El Paso: 83%
Hidalgo: (McAllen): 82%

Texas as a whole is at 91.

Yeah, Biden isn’t going to get Texas. But he might get Georgia and NC.

You are not in the Pit. Keep it civil. No warning issued.

In other news, OR has voted to decriminalize most recreational drugs.

Oregon became the first state to decriminalize small amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs, and it also legalized psilocybin, known as magic mushrooms, for people 21 and older.

The Oregon measure would make possession of small amounts of what have long been considered harder drugs a violation, similar to a traffic ticket, and no longer punishable by jail time. The law would also fund drug addiction treatment from marijuana sales taxes.

I’ve taken that into account.

That sounds like Trumpian style wishful thinking.

I don’t see NC at all. Very few votes are left to count. Most mail ins have been counted.

Overcoming a 5-6% deficit with only 9% of the votes remaining need a 3-to1 to win.

Florida called for Trump because too many maroons are afraid of another COVID shutdown. Shutdowns won’t matter if y’all dead!

I don’t see Biden’s path in GA. He’s 6% behind with less than 20%. He need 2-to-1 votes.

It’s been changing back and forth all night. It just happens to be in this column at this moment.

AP already has.

On CBS, Biden said to 'keep the faith". He said that they might not know the result until tomorrow or later and that was expected.

Acknowledged, apologies for the cursing but not the general sentiment.
