    Alaska. Out of position obviously. Grey because not yet called.

    You would have thought that one could have been called immediately. I don't see much chance of Biden taking Alaska.

    CNN Panel are going to be exhausted after this. They've been on at both ends of the day since Tuesday

    They've been great though, I have to say.

    Fox News have mandated staff to not call Biden the "president elect" due to legal challenges if he passes 270.

    Madness.

    Matt Morgan from Trumps campaign team confident that when the election is final Trump will remain President....

    Taken from sky news site:

    "The president's team has issued a defiant statement after Joe Biden overtook him in Pennsylvania - which would hand him victory - and Georgia.

    Here's what Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 campaign general counsel, said: "This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final. 

    "Georgia is headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where President Trump will ultimately prevail. 

    "There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations. 

    "We prevailed in court on our challenge, but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law. 

    "In Nevada, there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots. 

    "Finally, the President is on course to win Arizona outright, despite the irresponsible and erroneous 'calling' of the state for Biden by Fox News and the Associated Press. 

    "Biden is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once the election is final, President Trump will be re-elected."

    Biden picked up another net 1200 votes in PA in the last few minutes. Gap now 6737.

    Edit. Came from Bucks County which was previously 51.4/46.6 split to Biden, this vote was 68% of the mail ins.

    Only one side has said "I have won" though and it isn't Biden.

    He has said "I'm confident when the votes are counted I'll be the winner" which is a perfectly acceptable position to hold.

    Not only is it reasonable it is now increasingly apparent that it is based on fact.

    I also noticed on the AP website that a lot of counties in PN which were showing figures of 92% voted moved to 99% without any extra votes. I think that part had been estimated all along. I am used to seeing Irish 1st counts where the total number of votes is known on the first round.

    Yeah, pretty certain that most of the Votes Counted % numbers on AP are estimated.

    To me there are also elements of the wellness industry's shtick in Trump. The idea that you are an individual above all else, and that you can be anything you want to be taken to a ludicrous extreme. That you can live in a fantasy world. The corporate idea of shallow, superficial wellness, and appearances, based on dumb, faux profound, vacuous memes and slogans. The idea of feelings and delusion over facts and reality.

    Trump's America is like Simpsons' wellness guru Brad Goodman and his "do you what you feel" mantra, come to real life. A retreat into fantasy, a rejection of reality.

    "Be best!" springs to mind.

    intersting in respect to trumps twitter rants , steve bannon has had his twitter account suspended


    Is there any possibility that some of the remaining states, AZ, NV, GA, PA, are dragging their heels in completing their count and a winner being declared.
    Will the state that finally gets Biden over the line be subjected to additional lawsuits, recount requests and pain for the electoral staff?

    Well that doesn’t allow for the fact that the closer to the poles you get the more distorted the size of land is on flat screens or paper. It’s not that big nor are places like Greenland as big as we think.

    He never had any tweets to delete. This comes up time and time again that he allegedly deleted tweets.

    This is excellent.

    Andrew Bates, the director of rapid response for Joe Biden’s campaign, was asked about reports that Donald Trump does not intend to concede if he is declared the loser in the presidential race.

    “As we said on July 19th, the American people will decide this election,” Bates said. “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.

    the question being why it wasn't done in 2011 and what was different given the birther stuff.

    That's the entire point of that website, to remove the distortion.
