In some places yesterday, Biden was getting 80%-90% of counts. On the face of it, thats incredible in a two horse race between two evenly matched opponents. Again, I’ll be clear, I don’t think there is any fraud but it’s unprecedented.

They are fairly evenly matched nationwide, but some counties are extremely pro-Trump and others extremely pro-Biden. It's not at all unprecedented that a candidate might get 80-90 percent of votes in an especially partisan county, but then have that balanced out on a nationwide level.

No way

Biden is going to lose.

I was late getting up Wednesday morning after watching coverage until 4.30am the night before.
My wife informs me that her American friends are all upset because Trump is going to win the election. I started laughing and told her Trump hasn't an earthly......

Biden is going to win.

...actually at this stage it's impossible for him to lose.

TRUMP has lost (obviously).

Is it unprecedented? I was listening to a podcast (by Republicans) months ago where they were saying that frequently early leads by Republicans can fade away as more Democrats vote by post and they get counted after the votes cast on the day.

So it's not a surprise. And while you or I might not jump just because Trump days to there is a percentage (probably small) of his suppoters that will do whatever he wants just because he says so. So if he says don't vote by post, some of them will blindly follow him.

If you listened to informed opinion before the election, it’s not a surprise that the Democrats are cleaning up on postal votes. I certainly expected it albeit I wasn’t quite prepared for the scale at which they would do it. I don’t think most people were because if you look at betting patterns and you look at the posts on here on Wednesday morning, a lot of people were saying Trump would do it.

It’s certainly unprecedented that they’ve had this much impact in a Presidential election. Now, obviously the pandemic has driven that. But that’s resulted in a trend (Republicans get an early, solid lead that gets badly eroded) that’s never been seen before.

If you pay little attention to politics, which I’d suggest is the case with a lot of Americans, this is unprecedented and surprising. If you’re a Democrat, you’re happy as Larry because it’s gone in your favour. If you’re a Republican, you start crying “foul” especially when the clown in the White House is throwing fuel on the fire.

The unprecedented nature of the voting patterns are always going to be enough to fuel a conspiracy theory.

Those places being urban areas like Atlanta and Philadelphia. Absolutely nothing odd there. Hillary got 83% in Philadelphia in 2016.

It's one last grift by the Trump's while in the White House. More than half of any donation will actually go towards paying down campaign debt. Absolute charlatans of the highest order.

fake an outrage just to pay for a campaign that he couldnt afford?

Peak Trump.
At least it proves that the American Taxpayer didnt pay for his campaign.

There is no fraud.

There is no fraud, no proof, and no suggestion either, apart from Trump's outlandish, crazy and unfounded claims.

We have to wait and see. If there is evidence it will be discovered. Either way, we won't be left theorising.

Evidence needs to be provided that there was fraud, it's called burden of proof.

Otherwise there is nothing to talk about here.

Interesting that you say "discovered" - as in, no one knows it exists or not - and yet somehow, Trump claime it did?

Donald Trump claimed 304 electoral votes was the greatest win in the history of mankind.

Biden's on track for 306.

He actually got 306 last time but there were two faithless electors. This election is going to end 306-232, exactly the same margin as 2016

You don't think there is something fishy about Biden getting the most votes of any president in all of American history? Joe freakin' Biden? lol

What it shows is a man lacking the basic understanding of what is actually going on.

Those (not) illegal votes have been set aside and not counted or included in any of the totals so far , so even if he wins that case (he won't) he's still behind by ~30,000 votes in Pennsylvania with another ~80k left to count.

Biden has been winning 75%+ of all the recent ballot drops so will likely finish up ahead by about 45k votes.

Well outside the 0.5% recount threshold with or without the disputed ballots.

This is the bit I can’t figure out with Trump. Does he genuinely believe postal votes are flawed or did he know exactly how this would play out so he started the misinformation campaign months ago.

Is he now just trying to con people out of money to pay for a failed campaign or is he trying to fund a challenge to what he genuinely believes is an injustice?

He’s either an evil genius or a deranged lunatic.

Kermit.de.frog · 07-11-2020 02:35PM

So what's Trump gonna do?

Just squat in the White House?

Trump is one of the most divisive presidents in history so yeah, I see nothing strange about the Dems being energised to vote him out regardless of their candidate.

This is the consequence of leading only the people who elected you and framing the other side as the enemy, you get this kind of turnout from the other side. Remember what Trumpers said about Hillary's 'basket of deplorables' gaffe?

Also again, evidence please. Trump getting trounced is not evidence or even grounds for suspicion

Well, it's the highest turnout, so no. Even Trump as a good few votes more than he had last time.

"You don't think there is something fishy about Trump getting the second most votes of any president in all of American history? Donald freakin' Trump? lol"

That makes the same amount of sense as your pointless post.

Trump is disliked by massive amounts of people would be my guess...best way to get rid of him...vote for his opponent... shock horror!
