    The account is irrelevant. Its the Republican party Chairsperson in Michigan who's making the claim.

    Sorry, but that is simply tosh! The credibility of the source for any assertion is a crucial factor one must take into account in order to assess the assertion itself. In this case, the nakedly partisan agenda of the source, taken together with the national 'marching orders' from the White House, blows away ANY/ALL credibility in my eyes.

    I read it! I assessed it! I flushed it! That's how it works for me!

    I see. Well yeah I guess you'd need a separate data source to carry out that kind of analysis.

    That's basically what John King has been doing since Tuesday. That's why he's playing such a blinder for me.

    It has taken Georgia 2 hours to count fewer than 500 votes, so at that pace, it would take them a further 15 hours to finish their count.

    That is well outside any margin for errors if there is a recount.

    Nate Silver of 538 noted that one pundit is saying that a PA call might be premature with some provisional ballots that might lean republican. He seemed to still think they will lean democrat though. Something to keep an eye on maybe

    A true Lazaus act by Biden there. At 4am Wednesday morning, he was 10 points behind and the state looked destined to follow the projections of Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. What a remarkable race.

    Can't wait for the dramatization in years to come about what is happening right now in the White House.

    Apparently its mostly down to a democrat called Stacy Abrams. Who lost the governor race in 2018 by 55k when against the sitting SOC who deleted a bunch of voter registrations. She felt it was voter suppression and doubled down on her voter registration effort. She reg'd 800k voters in two years, almost all of them probably voted democrat. Joe will win by less than 1 percent of that

    Trump charismatic? Good one. He couldn't spell the word.

    He is hugely charismatic. That doesn't mean I like the man, but anyone who can inspire such devotion with such a large base of the public and stay relevant in the last few decades and ultimately win the presidency clearly has x-factor.

    You don't have to be articulate to be charismatic.

    It's pretty much impossible to rise so high in politics which is ultimately a popularity contest without charisma.

    Jim Acosta's update from the White House was amusing. Chaos. Trump being enabled by his spawn and Giuliani, not accepting reality. Trying to find some evidence of voter fraud. Oh to be a fly on the wall!

    Appears there aren't as many military ballots outstanding as had been claimed:

    I wonder how many more votes in Georgia will revert the recount calls and push it towards the GOP to request it.

    If you were lucky enough to register an email address with the Trump campaign, you'll probably be delighted to receive one of these in your inbox.

    A gap of 0.5% of total votes cast (approx. 25,000 votes) allows for a recount.

    Well the election official from Georgia never said there was 8,000 Military(and overseas ballots which included non military), they said there was up to 8,000 but they didn’t know how many they’d get back by the deadline today.

    Oh aye. I'd love to see investigations into some of the lawyers who are taking cases on at the minute in full knowledge that they have no case.

    So it seems some senior White House officials are trying to clam things and telling trump it as good as over and he is being hyped up to keep fighting by giuliani and certain family members

    I know this isn’t specifically election related but I see Steve bannon’s lawyer has decided to not represent him going forward after his beheading comments last night.

    Also worth noting the fine print.

    The donations are not going just to legal "defense" but also to retire campaign debt.

    Wow, what I noticed from that is that is Melania is not in Team Trump, was there a Robert De Niro moment from "Meet the Fockers", "Melania you are not in the circle of Trust".
