    I wonder how much trump calling their falling comrades "losers" will have effected their votes

    Usually I'd expect military votes to lean Republican, but the things Trump has said about McCain makes me think they'll vote blue

    Yes we did, perhaps you didn't though. There was massive pressure on them to vote against the democratically elected president, it was in the news for days



    l4Ve2sc.jpg

    US presidential elections have two phases: the democratic vote and the Electoral College vote.

    Clinton won the democratic vote in 2016.

    She received 65,853,514 votes; Trump received 62,984,828 votes.

    Trump is a two-for-two loser in the democratic vote phase of the presidential elections.

    If it wasn't for the archaic and undemocratic electoral college system, Trump would never have become president.

    His supporters should remember that when they try to lecture the rest of us about respecting his mandate.

    The fact he hasn’t started any wars and put their lives on the line might make them vote for him..... who knows

    I find it really bizarre that so many Irish people appear to have a grá for Trump. He is obviously a lunatic, a bigoted, misogynistic, uneducated, self serving lunatic so to see him bitch slapped like this, in such a public arena, is utterly delightful.

    I watched his speech last night, he is a broken man and is very much on the edge. Wouldnt at all surprise me if he was dead within 12 months.

    No he doesn't... You realise Republicans are viewing him as insane at this point?
    At best those in the GOP who might support him outside his deranged family unit are hiding behind let's count the vote.

    A republican candidate pretty much cannot win the popular vote anymore, california, NY and a few others on the eastern seaboard assure that.
    The electoral college is the only thing that means states like colorado or minesota actually have a say in their own elections

    Im loving how CNN are ripping him to shreds the past few days. Chris Cuomo has done so a few times too. I know they may be a bit biased but rightly so in this case.

    They could still split the EC votes by the popular vote for the state. If the state has 10 votes, and it's 50/50, it should be 5 votes for each candidate.

    I think it’s only because he seems to have some b@lls, something the politicians and leaders of Ireland have been sorely missing since.... forever. I think the last of them that had some were executed after the rising, and we’ve had fence sitting European lapdogs since.

    Irish people have stolkholm syndrome. Years of mysogonistic self serving Catholic Church and family members makes us think, a but look he's not that bad

    America...

    Where they can count the first 90% of the votes in a few hours, and the final 10% in 3 days.

    God bless em.

    The mail-ins and absentee ballots make it a whole lot more intriguing this time and a lot longer.

    I think Trump has gone insane and I think he may have to be section 25ed.

    Which, even though it's Trump, would be a very sad spectacle for the world really.

    Off the last few days, anyway shows that pollsters were wrong again so this indicates shy trump voters as i mentioned weeks back. Election shows a very divided country between rural and urban. If you had said to republicans ye could maintain senate and increase numbers in congress and have biden as president i think most soft republicans would have been very happy. The feared blue wave has not happened which is good for the stock market(so im happy) and Trump really is showing what a sore loser is he as we all expected, its laughable some of his extreme support want to keep counting in Arizona but not elsewhere. Trump still had a good election but hes behaving terribly with all these conspiracy theories. Democrats will not be overjoyed with there election either so no side can chest pump.

    Averaging all the polls:
    Trump - 43.4%
    Biden - 51.8%
    Spread - 8.4%

    Current:
    Trump - 48.6%
    Biden - 51.4%
    Spread - 2.8%

    So they got Bidens % correct, but were out by 5.1% for Trump which is outside the usual margin of error of 3% by 2.1%

    I would suggest that "some" polls were way off, but when averaged not as bad as folks are suggesting (but still outside the acceptable margin of error).

    (Hope my math is good)

    You have the wrong percentages, but the second half of the votes to be counted take longer as they are all in envelopes, that has to be checked, then another envelope inside that has to be checked for duplicate votes then they finally get to the ballot itself and can count it.

    Some states were forced to not be able to start the process until after the close of polls, others that Trump wanted counted earlier were done in advance. Trumps claims about "illegal" votes was entirely pre planned and based on making these states count things this way round.

    They also have to check the in-person voter rolls to check if the person who sent in the postal vote didn't also vote in-person as well. They check the signatures as well as social security/voter ID numbers. It's a long task.

    Down to 400 odd in Georgia.

    Biden expected to take the lead shortly.

    Their "job" was to harass and intimidate election workers. That's why they were told to leave from several counts.
