    PA and GA have no laws against faithless electors https://www.fairvote.org/faithless_elector_state_laws

    there was a theory a while ago that trump will get the governor's to renominate the electors that would vote for him.

    cant see the republican top dogs allowing that though. it would ruin the party and end in near civil war.

    i think to count and to report are different. They don't report as they count. they will dump 200K ish when they are finished counting the 61K.

    yeah? :pac:

    No.

    There is only circa 61k left I'm afraid.

    CNN have said it 25 times now.

    OK about 700K seems to be the agreed number of votes outstanding in PA.

    I wish I knew how betting odds worked :pac:

    It means in this case that if you put €63 on Biden, you would win €7, if he won the election.

    If you put €63 on Trump, you would win €441, IF Trump won.

    Basically, it means the bookies think Biden is a racing cert.

    Basically odds are written as X / Y

    And it means for every Y euro you bet, you get X from the bookies. (plus the €Y you bet)

    So 6 / 1 for trump means you get €6 for every €1 you bet. (plus the €1 you bet)

    So €100 bet would win you €600 and you'd get your €100 back so €700 altogether

    1/9 for Biden means you get €1 for every €9 you bet (plus the €9 you bet)

    So €90 bet would win you €10 and you'd get your €90 back so €100 altogether

    The man himself said they had 200K left yesterday, which was when they last reported.

    Again, there is a difference between what's left to count and what's left to report.

    Say what you like about him but he is box office. I'll miss waking up in the morning to see what zany adventures he's gotten up to the previous day.

    There's a reason that there is a record turnout and it's not Joe Biden. It's because people either love or hate Trump. Guarantee you, there won't be as big a turnout in 2024.

    A record turnout, inspired by a desire to get rid of Trump. I suppose it is something to brag about if you are Trump supporting masochist.

    It was a Georgia election official ON CNN who said it during a press conference! He even listed off the remaining totals in each county.

    That's not accurate, according to the AP, it's 99%+

    61,000 odd votes left to count and allocate.

    Link to where they say 99%+? Only today they posted an article saying they haven't called it because there's 4% left to count.

    it doesnt really matter cos the counted ones have not yet been reported on. if you assume a reasonable ratio for the uncounted ones, apply that to the unreported ones and you end up in the same place.

    Trump campaign suing to stop the count across multiple states even though stopping now will hand Biden the White House, interesting strategy.

    I'm trying to see if there's 61k votes left to split between the candidates or 200k to be split?

    I watched the news conference from Georgia live, so unfortunately I don't have a link.

    And what do you mean it would be reported? Everywhere is suggesting that there are ~200K left to be reported.

    It's looking like it could be down to a couple if hundred votes in Georgia. After looking at the counties left and considering absentee ballots I think Biden gets somewhere in the region of two thirds of the votes left. If it's slightly below that he loses.

    If there's really 200k left in Georgia, then it's likely Biden has it in the bag. He'd only need 55% of those.
