    Ah they're on the radio saying that the mail in ballots are majorly blue.

    Sure they were saying Biden was miles ahead in the polls too. :)

    Well in fairness they do know the registered party of the people who requested mail in ballots and the difference in parties between in person and mail in votes doesn't really seem to be widely disputed.

    For me, it's not clear he will win but I don't think "number of paths to victory" matters.

    Looks like to me he is winning in 5 of the last 6 states...Hope I am reading this correctly....Biden is up in Nevada which only counts for 6 anyway...

    The map on the Guardian website is shocking, with an overwhelming sea of red states. Not looking good for Biden.

    Just seeing the Trump speech now. He sounds worried, that's not the actions of a man who is confident he's won.

    Pence having to come on after him and row back on what Trump just said was pretty jarring too.

    Trump is hilarious, he wants them to stop counting votes in Pennsylvania, where he’s ahead but to keep counting in Arizona, which he’s lost!

    Mail in ballots are not in yet. They'll be the decider.

    Declaring victory and going to court. How has this tantrum throwing moron picked up so many votes.

    Plenty of skeletons in the closet. Trump is absolutely terrified of losing the presidency.

    1) Trump is a very strong favorite to win. He’s just too far ahead in PA/WI/MI, and what happened in OH suggests those leads will hold up.

    2) Because he’s so far ahead the Democrats are going to come under immense pressure to concede, probably by the end of the week.


    ) The argument that somehow a magic cache of mail-in ballots will be arriving... eventually... will sound worse and worse as the days pass.

    4) The question is if Biden has the guts to stand up to the crazies who will try to stretch out the process hoping to delegitimize Trump

    He also mentioned something about his winning margin in Texas not being "tabulated". Maybe he think it's PR and he can transfer?! I'm not sure he understands how it all works.

    Biden might just crawl over the line with the postal votes.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    What's a good alternative to the electoral college?

    It's not perfect but at least all areas of America get represented. Leaving it to popular vote would mean the major cities would decide it every time.

    Proportional representation.

    Almost all the votes remaining to be counted in Georgia are in the Atlanta area, including mail in votes, which would break heavily to Biden.

    I don’t rate Biden at all but I’m bored sick of trump

    If the Dems want to get this over the line I just hope they’ve got good lawyers in the key states

    If this was say south America people would be calling for UN observers to make thier reports pronto. With the talk of sanctions. Donald trump is a populist dictator in the making.

    Well we've established the opinion polls were complete rubbish. 10 point lead for Biden - that was funny.

    Clinton lost Florida by 100,000 votes. Biden on course to lose it by 400,000. Pollsters had him winning it.

    Lol

    If biden knew where he was/is then he'd have been making a speech tonight.

    His team had already said that they would not concede under any circumstances.

    This will probably drag out for a few weeks but Trump has it in the bag.

    You mean if they count every vote? You Trumpists hate democracy don't you. Why are you so afraid that every vote would be counted?

    Because everyone can can vote now.
    They want to go back to when America was great for white folks.

    Biden needs to stand aside

    An absolute embarrassment of a campaign.

    You also don't seem to have seen my post about trump saying he does not want all votes counted. He said it in his speech that you seem to have missed too.


    Does that change your view of him, considering you have said that you think all valid votes should be counted?

    You do know that the big red bits in the middle are mostly fields an mountains. The small blue bits of the map are where the people live.

    You're in shock. Not surprising. I told you all the polls were wrong but you would listen. Like last time rassamus were the only polling company right.
