    87% in any democratic vote is massive... it’s beyond a landslide in urban areas for Biden.

    trump received nearly 90% of the vote in 1 county in Wyoming and over 80% in many others.

    Oh I know, it’s just so unusual to see when in the context of an Irish election.

    Strong signs of an emerging Biden Derangement Syndrome outbreak in this thread. Sad!

    The below from the Guardian, looks like it will be one of the main Republican avenues of attack if/when Biden takes PA

    But Biden has just taken the lead and not a single one of those votes have been counted yet.

    They have been explicitly set aside until the end.

    So that argument has just died a permanent death in the last few minutes.

    Unless Trump wants them counted in case he can catch up?

    Remember now, it's not fraud if it favours Trump, it's simply democracy in action.

    Votes cast in person on Election Day went heavily to Trump across Pennsylvania.

    Postal votes are going heavily to Biden.

    This is simply a function of how Republicans and Democrats chose their method of voting and the order in which ballots are being counted.

    It also shows just how politicised Covid has been in the US that in-person voting is so heavily Republican and postal voting is so heavily Democrat.

    According to the analysts who've looked at the methods of voting, postal voting has been more popular among Democrats than Republicans, particularly in Pennsylvania, for years. Even so, the difference in voting methods has been especially stark this year.

    More petty posting.

    Noone ever said Trump was going to win by a landslide, maybe some bullish posts on here but in general it was Biden that was predicted to win by a landslide. I said Trump would win in a similar fashion to last time, i.e by a bit.


    It's extraordinary how badly Biden did in comparison to the polls thus no one is in any position to gloat. When Clinton beat Bush to oust him from the White House he got 370 electoral votes, that's what you call a landslide.


    This election was called for Biden mainly because of a supposedly overwhelming anti-Trump vote, because of a rejection of him as a person and his manner. One cannot say looking at the stats that there was any truth to this whatsoever with Biden winning it by a margin of 1% in some states or less and no landslide. So carry on listing the worst hits of Trump but none of that is why he lost evidently.

    Oh for sure, the EC needs to go. Archaic nonsense.
    Unfortunately a constitutional amendment in the USA needs cross party support, because it needs a supermajority in the Senate AND 38 states have to ratify it. (chicken and the egg.. referenda should also be popular vote)
    And Republicans will never support it while they are consistently losing just about every Presidential election on popular vote.

    I think the idea behind the EC is good (i.e. giving every state a voice) but the system itself is now outdated. I saw someone post on here that you could win 23% of the popular vote and get elected in theory. Actually, Sinn Fein won 24% here and a lot of people claimed they should have been in office on that basis so maybe we should switch to EC...

    They will. They've been surprisingly pro Biden, depending on whos on.

    Rumours when Trump loses (which he has) hes setting up his own news network so they're softening their stance.

    Hillary got 83% of the vote in Philadelphia in 2016, Biden is currently on 81% of the vote. There is ZERO evidence of any dodgy shenanigans as claimed by the Trumpists here. Where Trump is down is in the suburbs surrounding the large cities - so it makes sense that he was banging on about the suburbs during the campaign - his team knew he was in trouble in the suburbs and those people were turning away from him.

    I gotta say I wouldn't be ready to concede North Carolina yet. All the networks have pretty much given it to Trump.
    Trump holds a healthy 77, 000 lead but there could be 130, 000 votes yet to count, all mail ins. There's a guaranteed 116, 000.
    If Biden hits 75% of them it's really tight. If there's another 14, 000 he wins.

    Don't forget that he was claiming fake votes in 2016 as well because Hillary dared to beat him on the popular vote.

    Some counties have less than 10k people in them, compared to 500k plus in counties with major cities like Philly.

    I bet you they will let MSNBC, AP, CNN or ABC call it first so they aren’t the ones to end it officially :)
