Election thread

^^thank you for that link, it explained the situation really well. tbh I should have read up on this myself before Election Day but I made do with some scattered and as it turns out veey incomplete reports on this in the European press.

In Pennsylvania, for example, the deadline to request an absentee ballot is one week before election day​, and Michigan allows requests up until four days before. But in order for it to be counted in either state, under current laws, the ballot must be back in the mail and returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. One week for two deliveries is not enough time, Marshall explained. He said it could realistically take more than a week for a piece of mail to be sent to the voter and then “returned by mail in time to be counted.”

Understood, key phrase for me in the article.

In fact, there's seven states that allow you to request it on Monday for Tuesday's election,” she continued. “And that's just not practical. Just because you can wait until a deadline, doesn't mean you should.”

That's just plain asking for trouble. Bad (state) legislation.

True.

Racist ilhan omar won reelection in minnesota. Crazy horse teeth AOC also won reelection by giving some more blowjobs.

Predictable. They said they were going to do it. They’ve been prepping people with it for months.

Don’t forget the COVID surge either. Right on time.

Well this has been an interesting election night.

First Biden won, then everyone saw Florida go red along with Ohio so Trump won. Now they are saying Biden will now win. Whatever happens I don't think the losing side will accept the result. This will take weeks if not months to solve.

Is there any chance of a rerun in certain states? can the courts rule that or will they be forced to rule that?

No. If a winner isn't determined this week, Trump and the Republicans will take this to the Supreme Court. If this happens, I'm confident that Trump will win.

As of now, the election is too close to call. Trump or Biden can win. People said this will be a blue wave and they were wrong! The Democrats haven't learned their lesson from 2016. Clinton and Biden are tied to Obama and people (Republicans and some Democrats) don't want that. They're craving for a fresh face to lead them in the right direction.

theres a video of sanders saying all of this qould happen and even accurately listing the states that would flip and when.

It will take more time to count because ita record turn out and an unprecedented (at this scale) method that the currenr pollster structure isnt designed to process.

it looks like Biden is taking a stronger lead in Michigan as the hours pass. supposedly postal votes and Wayne county (Detroit area)? at least that's what European media have been reporting over the last hour or so

• Arizona: Biden (at that time, same for the rest of the list)
• Georgia: Trump
• Nevada: Biden
• Wisconsin: Biden
• Michigan: Biden
• Pennsylvania: Trump
• North Carolina : Trump
• Alaska: Trump

governor Tom Wolf of Michigan says he expects to have the full result for his state by the end of the day (unlike Pennsylvania). there were about 100,000 votes left to count in Michigan about 45 minutes ago

The dems had an early voter strategy that favored them. There was an aggressive drive to get ppl to vote before election day because democrats are negatively effected by election day hiccups. Theyre in crowded districts with long lines, have less control of their schedule, and rely more of public transport. Theyre also comsistently met with disenfranchisement more and are more concerned with COVID because of higher education levels and IQ.

From what I personally saw im willing to say 25% of dems voted before election day, especially black middle class women. It takes longer to count those votes at this scale because pollsters arent used to it and the in person votes can be processed by machine.

Sense A and Robby will blabber psychodrivel about their own ignorance so read it with caution.

Still dont know whos going to win but Trump is getting ready to say he was cheated because he's a cumdragon he baby. I feel like theres going to be a lot of sui-fuel in the next few hours

You want to be my neighbor and you don’t even know that Tom Wolf is our governor and not Michigan’s?

The Trump team is sending emails to its known voters. I saw this being posted. I can't vouch for it being legit. it's being reported by mainstream European media right now

I'm glad you're calling me out on this. That goes to show you European media are getting it wrong so often. I took the information from national media here. thanks for setting me straight. it looks like everything I post from European sources should come with a caveat. and I should double check by myself before posting

in general I can say that the level of reporting on Trump's term and on this election is pretty questionable in Europe. this right here was just another good example of getting facts wrong, but more in broader terms there has been a rather glaring bias against Trump specifically and Republicans in general. earlier today I was reflecting on this (due to the election) and looking back now, at least as far back as Bush Sr (I was too young during Reagan's term) reporting on Republicans was from a moral high ground and derogatory. the whole Clinton private life affair thing was being looked upon favourably and Obama could do no wrong although he did not actually get that much done over eight years. Bush Jr got it the worst though lol

(mild) right wing media are not mainstream here at all. the supposedly neutral media here are rather left wing and I've only recently come to realize this

talking with all of you guys (whether you vote Democrat, Republican or do not vote at all) has helped me tremendously in BEGINNING to understand American society and politics - and not the way European media portray it[/QUOTE]

ha they just corrected the mistake on the governor's name in the live feed I see

Trump is asking for a recount in Wisconsin

Insightful, thank you.
