    Did that big update from Pennsylvania come in the end? Someone said earlier there was something due around half past.

    So, about those postal delays under Trump's Postmaster...

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/05/usps-late-ballots-election/#click=https://t.co/MbKWDga965

    "USPS “processed 94.5 % of ballots on time [the expected rate is 97%],” but in the “9 postal districts spanning 5 states — AZ, NV, PA, NC & GA — that have yet to decide the presidential race, the on-time rate was 84.6 %.”

    So, altogether now - postal delays were about 10% worse than average in...

    Arizona
    Nevada
    Pennsylvania
    North Carolina
    Georgia

    ... All states where Biden's mail ins are having dramatic effects late in the day.

    Funny how that works.


    Ah yes, but THATS not "voter suppression", I'm sure "Barking Don" has a different sound byte description for that one . . .

    The Electoral College as a method of deciding the election is a whole other conversation though.
    The craziest thing about that is the possibility (limited i know) that at the end of it all, the Electors are real people who could change their vote!


    Why does there need to be actual people doing it - why not just change it from Electoral College votes to 'Election points' and 270 points wins the election.

    is she taking votes from Biden or from Trump?

    Mostly from Trump. Probably enough to have made him lose.

    Echoes of the Green Party's Jill Stein in 2016, whose total combined vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin was more than the gap between Clinton and Trump in those states.
    Twice in the past five elections, the Green Party may bear responsibility for changing the outcome of a presidential election. Despite Jill Stein garnering less than a third of the votes that Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson received, Green Party votes were indeed the difference in three Rust Belt states. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, President-elect Donald Trump’s margin of victory was less than Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s vote count. A difference of about 80,000 votes determined the outcome in these three states.

    Mr. Johnson won far more votes but polls suggest he drew nearly equally from Mr. Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. This cannot be said for Ms. Stein’s voters, who would have likely been almost exclusively Democratic voters. The difference this year dwarfs the 537-vote deficit that cost then-Vice President Al Gore Florida and the presidency in 2000, but it is still real.

    The stand out for me has to be the Presidents 'speech' from the White House last night.

    Never before has one man managed to make the most powerful office in the world look so weak.

    Very much so. The office of president appeared weaker than I've ever seen it and and so did the man himself. For a grown man to rationalise looming defeat as "I was winning until they counted the opponent's votes" can only be described as pathetic.

    Or just scrap it altogether and let the national, democratic vote decide the outcome?

    Unlike Trumps declarations of some fantastic new plan for "something" being released in two weeks, the count of the votes will actually happen though.

    That's got nothing to do with the office. It's an idiot at the end of his time.

    Some people in Doonbeg in Clare is rooting for a Trump win. WTF?

    Trump is a good businessman, I'll give him that much but that's all he is. He was pig ignorant as a president and a leader of a country. Like his biggest problem this year was Tiktok - in the middle of a global pandemic where many of his people got sick and unwell and died and suffering from long covid.

    Hopefully he will lose the presidency and it's looking likely he will but that's not going to effect his position as a businessman much and his business in Doonbeg.


    I'm not sure many would agree with that.

    Thousands of pages of posts here of people all excited that Donald Trump is been thrown out in a country over 4 thousand miles away. Yet we had buffoons like cowen and ahern here and hardly a squeak about domestic politics. :confused:. Probably less likes on the twitter, baords and facebooks posts for Irish politics.

    I am trying to understand Trump's logic on the voter fraud.
    Because he does not seem to be worried about voter fraud in the Senate because the Republicans will control it.

    Does it come down to Trump not wanting to be seen as a loser?
    Also this strategy keeps him relevant in the public mind if he wants to run again?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    He retweeted a conspiracy theory that the fraud is ONLY against Donnie. That all the other down ballot choices were for Republicans but the "fraudsters" voted for Biden at the top of the list. Crazy nonsense. The reality is that Donnie is actually getting about the same percentage of the vote as the various Senate and House republicans across the country.

    Abby looks great alright.

    I am trying to figure Rick Santorum (keep thinking of him as Rick Scrotum) as he tried to remain Republican saying that they of course should investigate issues but yet not be foaming at the mouth like Donnie.

    Biden nearly 4 million votes ahead now. This is proving to be more decisive than it originally looked.

    People seem to forget the counting goes on in all states even though they have been declared.

    Biden is racking up votes in California, New York, etc.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    You see, you would need to go to one of the Irish election threads for that. Of which there are plenty when there's an election.

    There was a lot of talk about domestic politics here around Bertie and Cowen. The Leo story has also been fairly prominent here all week and is up to 3.5k posts already.

    I put on CNN for a while last night. They are so biased it's unreal.
    It was the news source for me about 15 years ago, sad what's happened to them.

    And so Donald left the White House forever.... because it was haunted. Now, let's celebrate with a cool glass of Ultimate Bone Broth.

    Theres plenty about domestic politics, the American election is big news here because we have to listen to what they're doing every day anyway and what they do over there can and will have some affect on us at times too.

    Yes. I didn't see anything about that at all. And no one ever mentioned the Water Charges. I just wish someone would start a thread about dole spongers or Travellers for a change.

    He wasn't even a good businessman, that is a myth. Loads of his businesses including casinos went bust. He was a playboy billionaire with daddy's money and got into showbusiness.
