Trump vs Biden 2020, And the winner is.......... (pt 4) Read OP

With Trump losing that means the contract between them has been broken. She'll be heading for the exit and the pay off I guess.

Every vote *is* counted. AP can judge a race as they see fit, and they don't need to budget for the moronity of the kind of person who will march down to the polling station and be a nuisance based on their bad mathematics.

is AP the associated press?

regardless of who AP is, you cant judge a race as "they see fit".

there's no interpretation here, its black and white. votes are votes are votes.

Me thinks the US will face a constitutional crisis. Not a chance Trump will concede.

Thankfully conceding is not a legal point. It's usually just a formality. It has no actual impact on the outcome of the election and the legalities of who wins.

Lol, let Joe get on with running it. Those Democrats did everything to obstruct Trump. This is going the whole way to the Supreme Court.

maybe so. the only way it does is if trump can prove some sort of fraud which needs to go to state court 1st i think.

FOX news called Arizona. Trump's biggest supporter in the media.

I think the hosts/ analysts on CNN are ready to burst out laughing when its finally called for Binden, it's like they have a catchphrase 'count the votes'
It's a dream election for them loads of drama, trump throwing toys out of the pram, Binden staying cool, as Biden slowly marches to victory

Yes I agree but they are way out of kilter with the rest of the outlets bar Fox.

It means that, if Nevada declares tonight for example in Biden's favour, Fox and AP will have to project Biden as winning the election.

Then if Arizona flips Red as the votes are trending, they're in an awkward situation as more conservative vote counting outlets like CNN are still following the facts.

I get that they can judge it as they wish, but they can't have been certain at 2.50pm yesterday

No a news outlet can judge a race, as in call it. They look at the numbers coming in and make a prediction based on what they're seeing. They're not always correct but that's how it's done.

But as I also said, it's not binding, which is why it's ridiculous for any candidate to b*tch about it. All they need worry about is the official tally coming in from polling stations.

CNN reporting Trump wants to speak but his officials won't let him.

I have to say I overestimated Trump supporters. There has to be something missing upstairs when Trump loosing an election causes you to make up conspiracy theories rather than accept reality. That level of disassociation is bordering on schizophrenic.

I know there's a few lulas out and about in the US... it's like they have no stupidity filter...banging on the doors of vote counting centers shouting stop the vote in areas Trump is ahead and shouting the opposite where he is behind. And I know it's a bit of a staged storm in a teacup by Trump but by God it's scary to watch and surreal like a sci-fi /dystopian film of some moronic futurism.😬

Do you remember the 2000 election and the media coverage?

Imagine they declared Pennslyvania yesterday too for trump. It makes no sense and it's not just me saying it, plenty of reputable outlets, FiveThiryEight, CNN etc, have questioned them declaring it so early.

There's even a rumour that someone mistook 86% reported for 96% in the vote desk calculations but they just doubled down

Wait until Biden actually wins they will be doing more then banging on doors after that I suspect.

I think anything he says would damage their legal challenges, as he'll just start making wild accusations about everything.

It has actually been more enjoyable than a blowout. Getting to see Trump gloat then watching him break as reality hits is epic
