    Someone in this conversation made a typo I think. Both of you are saying the same thing I think that Biden won WI.

    Yeah Biden won it. That state is finished.

    He's not ahead. It's already been called for Biden. Go check your facts. You're the blatant liar.

    You already said he lost it!

    They have literally no chance of winning AZ. The remaining votes to be counted will favour Biden.

    No I didn't. Go recheck your facts.

    I quoted a member saying CNN had called Biden the winner. I said they're late to the party cause it was called hours ago.

    Biden fans clutching to the idea that he might still win this.

    Cmon people it’s over. Trump has done it again and you know it.

    Some peaches of posts on this thread here in the wee hours last night. Still in the balance but wonderful to see Joe Biden in the driving seat and we know now that Trump was covering his ass with his bombastic speech that included legal threats.

    Yes Trump. Ffs if you cant keep up leave the thread. It was clear who I was on about as another poster quoted me saying that's true. Just cause you cant keep up that's not my problem PAL.

    You're as big a child as Trump. Just admit you made a mistake and move on.
    Another poster even referred to your "typo"...

    Dude relax. You quoted a post that named only one candidate and then referred to "he".

    Think everyone made the same jump that you were referencing Biden. Just crossed wires, no need to be so aggro.

    Must be first time ever that a Mayo team snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

    Indeed. Mayo are preparing to celebrate a Biden win. There will be be bonfires on summits of Croagh Patrick and Neiphin.

    Can't hack anymore polls or predictions. Whoever wins it wins it, and hopefully (though unlikely) it'll be done by tomorrow.

    because I dislike politicians who draft laws putting hundreds of thousands of people in prison for low level crime and bomb countries in the middle east, along with people who support and enable them.

    I thought the narrative was that Biden had done nothing in all his years in politics.

    As you say both quotes below



    "CNN projects Wisconsin for Biden."




    "They're a bit late to the party. He lost that ages ago by about 20k"

    Grim reading for the trump campaign there.

    So why not have the presidential election as popular vote? States still get an equal voice in congress. Each person gets an equal vote in the presidential election.

    Coz that would leave small States with little/no voice in deciding who should be POTUS. Again, that's how it was set up when the US was created. By all means, get it changed, by a Constitutional Amendment, but I'd see that as a no-hoper under the rules of the Constitution.

    America is meant to be #1 in everything according to trumpists, why are comparing the US to what Trump would probably refer to as "****hole l" counties?

    Why also then are you not comparing to South Korea or Germany or hell even Ireland?

    The kind of thing that Trump has been coming out with re:Covid wouldn't be stood for if it came out of Micheal Martin or Boris Johnson. If Michael Martin got up and said we'd had so many deaths per million from Covid, but hey at least we're not France, he'd be lambasted. Constant equivocation from a leader essentially means they can at least attempt to sidestep all culpability for their own situation.

    Is there anything to stop Trump running again in 2024 provided he does not win this?
    He would still have his base and provided he isn't in jail would have 4 years to shout from the sidelines.

    Nothing legally to stop him no.

    Perfectly normal to demand electoral scrutiny in a close race.

    Moved on a little further

    Trump 2,388,026 (+355)
    Biden 2,306,532 (+6469)

    Huge ratio there toward Biden.

    95% complete , so about 250k left to count if I'm working this out right.

    A roughly 2/3rds Ratio for Biden would win it and he's been doing better than that in the last few updates.

    I just had a look at that, to my surprise 6 rural counties changed from red to blue in the last hour, I did not build that into my tracker I was assuming the rural counties mail in would fall the same way as the in person, they are not the are coming in 10 to 1 in favour of Biden. Biden now looking like 30k win in Georgia if the mail in breaks down the same way in other rural areas.
