    Coming soon!
    All mail-in ballots in Clayton County will be counted tonight, top elections official says

    All remaining 4,200 uncounted mail-in ballots and provisional ballots cast in Clayton County, Georgia, will most likely be released by midnight, the director of the county's board of elections, Shauna Dozier, told CNN tonight.

    Dozier said to expect results posted on the county's website roughly every 30 minutes until midnight.

    The only remaining uncounted ballots will then be military ballots, which are due at 5 p.m. ET, on Friday. Dozier said she is unaware of how many military ballots officials may receive.

    Clayton County, a suburb of Atlanta which trends Democratic, could put President Trump's path to the presidency in serious peril, noted CNN's John King earlier this evening.

    PS: according to CNN, even before these votes are allocated, the gap between Trump and Biden is now only 1,805 votes in Trump's favour.

    There's no onus on asylum seekers to seek refuge in the first safe country (not the first country) they arrive in. They can seek it anywhere they choose.

    If you had the faintest idea of international law on asylum or about the Paris Agreement, you might be worth discussing issues with.

    As it stands, you're a blowhard know-nothing.

    eh, yes there is. if you are seeking asylum, you do so in the 1st country you can.

    asylum is for people prosecuted, and the idea is wherever they arrive take them in.

    should be no asylum seekers into the the US, only canadian and mexicans

    This is not required.

    It's perfectly legal to do this in multiple states. As the article says, states are supposed to contact voters to tell them about problems with their postal ballots, but often don't.

    Democrats urge Georgia voters to fix their absentee ballots before a Friday deadline.

    i thought all votes were posted?

    What's wrong with that? Do you know how the mail-in process works? You can track your ballot throughout digitally - if something has been flagged on it that looks like it will make it ineligible, you can see what the issue is, and provide additional information/proof to satisfy whatever query had drawn the red flag. It's a pretty awesome system to be honest!

    I think a lot of people just imagine bits of paper sent in that are easy to forge or fake, but the whole thing is tracked from beginning to end very transparently.

    Read the article and maybe the headline will be clearer. Voters have until 5 PM friday to resolve challenges to their ballot. They can track them online through the election office.

    I just want it to be over. And while I've some sympathy for signatures not matching up with old records, if someone forgets to sign their ballot, that should be tough luck, tbph.

    is that the party line? still!!

    True. The 1951 Refugee Convention requires refugees to obey the laws of the country in which they reside after being granted refugee status. This is the only legal responsibility it imposes on them:
    Article 2
    General Obligations
    Every refugee has duties to the country in which he finds himself, which require in particular that he conform to its laws and regulations as well as to measures taken for the maintenance of public order.
    The core principle is non-refoulement, which asserts that a refugee should not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom. This is now considered a rule of customary international law.

    Customary international law means that it applies to all states, even those that have not signed up to the 1951 Refugee Convention.

    Asylum seekers are not refugees; they are people whose claim for asylum (refuge) has not yet been established. If their claims are successful, they become refugees. If not, they can be deported.

    Even successful claimants, who become refugees, can be deported if they commit serious crimes or are deemed a danger to national security:
    Article 33
    Prohibition of expulsion or return (“refoulement”)
    1. No Contracting State shall expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, member-
    ship of a particular social group or political opinion.
    2. The benefit of the present provision may not, however, be claimed by a refugee whom there are reasonable grounds for regarding as a danger to the security of the country in which he is, or who, having been convicted by
    a final judgment of a particularly serious crime, constitutes a danger to the community of that country.

    The law disagrees with you.

    I wonder if Trump maginally wins, but Biden wins enough of the other states to get him over the line, will Biden ask for a recount here to try and put a stamp on his victory?

    No idea, could be a way to protect himself from 'faithless' Electoral College voters who vote for Trump despite Biden winning a state.

    Still questions on the PA result if they are counting votes that came in after the 3rd. Justice Alito in the Supreme court left the door open for those to be challenged. The court in PA messed up ruling that votes could be accepted after the 3rd when their own state rules say only the legislature can make that decision. Fun times ahead.

    If there was 1.2 million votes delivered by USPS in the days after the election don't you think that some employees would have tweeted photos of them all stacked up in the sorting office by now?

    There might be a couple delivered afterward, but the vast majority were already delivered, just they couldn't be processed purely because Trump was anticipating wanting something like this to whine about.

    I never mentioned 1.2 million votes and haven't a clue where you're getting that number from. Votes in PA can arrive until the 10th I believe as long as they are dated the 3rd. I believe Biden will win either way but I still think there will be a challenge, doesn't mean it will change the result.

    The EC voters will not do that. We saw in 2016 that they have the utmost integrity.
