    They need to provide proof. Proof isn’t something this administration is high on.

    Not a hope.

    The thing is that they're doing it so brazenly... If politicians interfered like that in Ireland, they'd be destroyed!

    There was a spreadsheet screenshot going around Twitter earlier that had a column for registered voters and a column for projected votes, where the projected votes were higher than registered voters. However the registered voters column was about 5% higher than the 2016 turnout in those states. If the registered voters column was correct then the 95% turnout in 2016 would have been just as suspicious as a 105% turnout this year.

    You might be joking, but when you look at how the vote has broken down urban versus rural, it is a deeply divided country and at this point any one, in any way aggressive or cynical or bitterness, would find it very easy to stoke further division.

    Hard pass. It’s going to more lies and conspiracy theories of things that aren’t happening.

    This will be historic. He couldn't handle Biden speaking.

    Still worth listening to him though, smiling knowing we won’t have to listen to him for much longer.

    that tweet about total war from junior though ... highly irresponsible.

    The PA Sec of State has just said whilst all votes won't be counted the figures by the end of today with show who the winner is.
    So we'll know. I think the way she spoke was code that Biden would be clear but I might simply be projecting, nighty night Harr.

    Figure it has to be Biden. There is about 27000 votes that won't be counted till at least tomorrow. (unless that order was changed).

    So if Biden gets close to 30k behind with what they have called that seems impossible to call.

    Unless they hit a glut of random Trump votes I can't see Trump winning by enough to make it certain.

    Team Trump likely figure that Biden will speak tonight, and they cannot allow him to have uncontested coverage especially if he comes across like the president-elect.

    Clearly, he’s going to concede defeat and congratulate Biden and wish him all the best for the future.

    You would be worried how far they'll push it? At some point the GOP will have to step in.

    I mean. We have been saying that for 4 years. Maybe when they know he's finished and has thrown up the 3 eyed fish they will drop him.

    That would be a reasonable question for any other president at any other time. Not so much now... In fact highly unlikely.

    Is Trump just giving a speech or is it a press conference?
    Should be good either way.

    Early night plans gone again:D

    But look, how could they be right when they're being braInwashed by people like Paula White who is Trump's so-called spiritual advisor.

    This was from a streamed service she held last night to get him elected... I mean, What.The.Absolute.Fcuk?????

    Trump losing significant mail in votes to Biden in Trump counties in Pennsylvania. This is promising.

    Biden just flipped Erie County with 4000 votes to count still.

    Another 20k for Biden in Pennsylvania vs 9k for Trump.

    Oh Christ those numbers from that trump county weren’t good. In a trump county Biden got 20k and trump got 9k. Surely it’s a case of when not if Biden wins Pennsylvania.

    Important to remember the near 90,000 in Philly still haven't been added. At least 70,000 of those will go to Biden. This won't be close at all.

    John King tought earlier on the figures coming in, if that was the way they kept coming, then Biden would win with over by 40K.
