As much as I’d like a landslide, a 270:268 win is comforting in one way: it means you compromised the minimum possible amount to win. Like a business bidding just one dollar less than a competitor for a contract job. Finding out that you massively underbid is a bad thing in that respect.
Yes he’s panicking, but be careful. A wounded, dying animal can be dangerous.
With his values and ideals I’d be very watchful for the crap he is going to be pulling these next days and weeks, and also the crap he’ll likely be pulling during his lame duck days.
CNN still haven’t called Arizona for Biden. Fox called Arizona for Biden on election night and doubled down on it when the Trump campaign urged for a retraction.
Trump has questioned legal efforts in calls with allies
From CNN’s Kevin Liptak
President Trump offered less-than-enthusiastic endorsement of his team’s legal strategy in phone calls with some of his allies on Wednesday, sounding resigned to the plan falling short and questioning why his team hadn’t successfully challenged voting rules before the election even as he remained willing to see it through.
Indeed. My hope is that Trump is so preoccupied with election lawsuits in the coming weeks that he wouldn’t take the time to crater the country. But I guess he does have staff/administration that could take care of that for him.
they thought they were but there was a bigger swing towards Biden than they “allowed” (if you were cheating, wouldn’t you want it close and less obvious than a North Korea level 98%)
whatever the cheating process involved - there were logistical limits on how much they could adjust the results (i.e they couldn’t tamper with all the machines or the cheating method they did limited them in some way)
Mail in and early voting overwhelmed the methodology they were using
Something like that. I think I calculated around midnight CT a few hours ago. But it could be earlier or later. I presume that networks would be reasonably quick to call once Biden takes the lead.
