    He's pulling it back? Biden has expanded his lead since I last checked

    Biden 2,518,923
    Trump 2,500,843
    There are still substantial Biden votes to come in from the Detroit area. The final result here probably won't be that close.

    That's one of the most annoying things about this country, some idiot with a banjo was singing about Obama in some backwater a few years ago, all to get tourists into a pub.

    It’s not actually one of those in search for an Irish relative cases, Tommy Teirnan, hector and some girl, can’t remember her name, have a podcast, but she’s related to joe Biden, close enough too to have already been over to the whitehouse.

    Seriously tho.. its been stoked up to ridiculous levels. I would like to think with Trump out the way things can calm down a bit. But once you start stirring the sh!t like Trump has, it has a tendency to spin out of control.

    At least BLM will now stop rioting and destroying the place.

    One group in and one group out. Swapsies

    Personally I think he's holding out to see the results outside of PA; If joe gets a few other states its pointless going to the SC.

    Cautious optimism for a Biden win I guess right now, but Trump can still win, or he might try and cheat. This is not over until Trump is sitting in a prison cell imo.

    He has a lot coming down the tracks at him

    I don't know but I cashed out ready to go back in on Trump at 6/1 if he swings back Michigan....and he is pulling it back.

    How much did you cash out for?

    I know little to nothing about her but I enjoy how much she riles up the Trump heads.

    What you cant see its the step in Trumps tally too, its just not as big.

    170,000 absentee votes got added all in one go, its happened elsewhere.

    Ha! "Can they extradite me from Brazil? Jair is a friend right? Yes, they can? Kim, Kim, get him on the phone?"

    Apologies if it's been asked already but if someone sends a mail in ballot on Monday, I assume it's not been counted yet or even received on the Tuesday, if that person goes in and votes on the Tuesday in-person, how do they reconcile that one person voted twice and only one vote counts.

    I'm assuming it's a tally count they're doing so as the counters are going through they go 1 Biden, 2 Biden etc rather than taking into account who actually voted.

    The electoral collage system is going to come under huge pressure after this election regardless of the result. Polling 4-5 millions votes more than the other guy and not being declared the winner is an affront to democracy

    I wonder how much looting and destruction there actually was..

    Funny how those eager to scream fake news, lap it up when the narrative suits them (generalising, not accusing you EM).

    interesting.

    Anyway.. hopefully that's the first era of Trump in politics over. Maybe things will calm down a bit before Melania tries for the same..

    theres video evidence also, google
    That NPR link actually explains it, the "community ballot collection" but you can win the internet if you want.

    Michigan still has 30% mail in ballots from democratic stronghold to come in (Detroit).

    He's not pulling it back - the majority of votes left to count in MI are in Detroit Wayne County. MI is over bar the shouting.

    Ah sure, no difference to the abuse of democracy that's blighted this entire election (and the one before..).

    Reform is most definitely needed.

    You are deluded. There are no real white right wing terrorists. No equivalent right wing version of Antifa or BLM.

    People guarding businesses with machine guns during the BLM riots are DEFENSIVE. They would not be out on the streets if it weren't for the radical left wing rioters/looters.

    My god! "There are no real white right wing terrorists" - in what planet are you living? I swear people commenting like this are having their minds destroyed through social media.

    Never mind McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombings, but the FBI foiled 2, TWO, ZWEI Right wing terror threats in the last two weeks for god sake.

    Edit; and hold on, ANTIFA, linked to 0 (Zero) murders in the US in the last how many years. Just because ol Trumpy wants them to be labelled a Terror group, doesn't make it so.

    New York Times exit poll:

    Black Men: Trump 18% vs Biden 80%

    Latino Men: Trump 36% vs Biden 61%

    White Men: Trump 58% vs Biden 40%

    White Women: Trump 55% vs Biden 43%

    At the very least the seats should be split according to winning margin rather than winner takes all. If you're a California republican or a democrat in Arkansas your vote means squat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,448 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Biden has taken 120k out of the Trump lead in Pennsylvania just now. He's going to catch him there too!

    This would mean that low population states have meaningless elections

    America is a federal country which is a union of states so states have their say.

    Agree that some sort of balance needs to be drawn. Maybe allow a certain amount of extra electoral college votes for winning the popular vote?

    The GOP is done w/o it. And their cries of it making it unfair on the flyover states is ironic given the converse is actually the reality.

    I don't think you mean regardless of the result right? I mean if Biden wins there will be nothing said of it. If Trump win, yeah I'm with you.

    Hilary won the popular vote too...not a new thing.

    There has been talk of reforming or abolishing it for a long long time back as far as Nixon.
    John oliver did a really excellent show on it, probably easy to grab on youtube.
