    Racism isn't the belief that one race is necessarily better that another - it's the belief that that there's such thing as a "race" (there isn't) which gives rise to notions of racial superiority/inferiority etc. That's how you know America is a deeply racist country - everyone is their pigeonhole first and a human being second.

    No idea what you're rambling about and what it has to do with John King.

    The estimated number of outstanding votes from Pennsylvania just jumped from 83.6k -> 91.2k :rolleyes:

    Haha, how can anyone take that talking orifice seriously... especially when we all know it is actually Café Nero that Biden and Harris want everyone to drink everyday. Rookie mistake there ;)

    Tried watching some USA news channels to see if there are any changes. Christ on a bike, I think my heart rate increased by about 40bpm watching that, it was just an assault of colour, speed, and sound. How the hell people watch that is beyond me.

    I realise that this amount of mail in ballots was new for America as a whole but Pennsylvania are taking the piss. They knew that there was likely going to be lot of mail in votes and the governor and state legislature as a whole have made this harder then it needed to be.

    We are losing site of the fact that the count is finished in almost no states and the only reason there are eyes on Penn is because it is still in doubt. Penn are on 99% counted, so are are about 25 other states. California are at 66%, New York, New Jersey about 75%.

    But you dont blame Trump for destroying the postal services and hindering deliveries?

    I do but I’m talking about how states have handled the mail in ballots they got. Pennsylvania couldn’t work out a strategy to work through them in a timely manner. So yes trump and the post master general deserve huge blame, but that doesn’t take how Pennsylvania didn’t prepare on how to count those ballots. They should have been allowed to at least open the ballots before Election Day like other states.

    Allegheny County, PA, say they have 20-23k mail-in ballots to count, and Biden is taking them by an 80-20 margin. There's 17k provisional ballots to come that are going Biden's way 75-25.

    They're due within the next few hours. Biden should shortly go beyond the 35,000 margin and I think then the networks will call it.

    It was republican legislation in the state by the republican controlled legislature in Pensylvania that prevented the counting of mail ballots before election day like other states, Florida etc.

    They were warned that could mean days of delay but did it anyway. Now republicans are complaining about the delays.

    Farce

    I predict they will call the election just after 5pm our time. Maricopa County's last drop (excluding provisional) in Arizona is due at 4pm and Clark County in Nevada are dropping a bunch at 5pm. They should be in a position to call those states then.

    But Florida has a republican governor and they have it down to a fine art. As does Ohio which has a republican governor. You are right that it’s a republican legislature in Pennsylvania but other GOP controlled states are able to figure it out.

    In simple words:

    The

    GOP (republican party)

    went to court (as in went before a judge)

    to stop Pennsylvania (the state where they are still counting)

    from counting any mail in ballots (i.e. ballots sent by post)

    until after the polls closed.

    4 of Trumps staff tested positive earlier today, included Mark Meadows who appeared at all of the recent rallies without a mask in the days leading up to the 3rd.

    Bad news for Trump in Arizona.

    https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1325104863047454727


    Update from Maricopa County.

    https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1325106580778606592

    Better for Trump but not enough.

    Trump press conference at 1630 our time - wouldn't it be fantastic if they called it while he was ranting.

    Cherry on the cake and even more fantastic if Fox also had to call it while he's on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,418 ✭✭✭letowski


    Maricopa

    Trump 27k
    Biden 19.6k

    It's very obvious Trump isn't reaching his numbers with the splits with mail in ballots. Even in some red counties he is actually losing.

    Call the state.

    Trump needs 57% from the remaining 132k votes. Where are those votes coming from? That batch just now was the last from Maricopa right? Are there any pockets of Democrat area votes left to count?

    I have been nurturing a secret fantasy for 2 days now that Arizona continues to draw closer until on the very last count when Trumps loses by 1 vote.

    That vote being the widow of John McCain.

    Think there's still some from Pima county alright.

    Press conference is not at a hotel

    It’s a landscaping company

    The hotel have made sure to distance themselves from it as well. Nobody wants to be associated with this shiitshow.

    If the stakes for society weren’t so high, I would say that this feels like the finale in the Big Brother House, and we are awaiting Davina to announce the results (remember Kitten in series 5)
