The thing is, the result in Detroit was almost exactly the same in this election as it was in 2016. 67%-30% against Trump. No statistical anomalies.

Same in nearly all the big cities. Trump generally kept his vote at the same level or even increased it in some places. It was elsewhere where he lost by much larger numbers than 2016.

Logically it makes no sense but narratively it fits in with their 'evil big cities and residents'. I presume they'll use all these conspiracy theories to try to further disenfranchise voters in the future.

According to Twitter there are 500 people waiting to speak and they are allocating them 1.5 to 2 mins each! They will never get around to voting at this rate.

Gonna have to call a guillotine... Or else, this will go on for weeks... Certify already!

I do like the fact that citizens can get directly involved in these proceedings. But it'll take them hours to get through them all.

500 ppl @ 3 minutes per. = 25 Hours!!!!!

And then people who use up their valuable minutes waffling on about 'I am not going to take long...I know lots of people want to speak...thank you for this opportunity...ye are doing a great job'. Your man giving out about the machines being connected to the internet was mildly convincing to a non-tecky, don't know if it would stand up to scrutiny. Have you sent your complaint to the AG? Er, well no.

hollypink · 23-11-2020 10:30PM

One of the Reps, Aaron Van Langevelde, just said he will vote to certify. Doesn't sound like Shinkle will but I don't think it has to be unanimous?

namloc1980 · 23-11-2020 10:36PM

Shinkle abstained! After all that. Anyway Michigan has certified so expect Trump to have a meltdown.

Brian? · 23-11-2020 11:15PM

So that's Az, Ga and Mi done? Once Pa certifies it's game over?

It's already game over, Biden doesn't need PA now, it just pads his lead from 286 to 306!

Yep it was the suburbs trump got his hammering in more so than any massive change in the likes of Detroit

It's just brazen stuff in these court filings in PA. 'We only want to pick through 1.5 million votes and decide which ones to take off Biden's total'.

After failing to turn up to answer questions in the House. Got a fairly sharpish letter from said committees setting a deadline for tomorrow. I suspect; discretion being the better part of valour, Emily bravely folded her tent and (figuratively) ran away. The house of cards is starting to collapse.

Emily Murphy must have secured a new job because trump will fire her now for doing what she is tasked with doing.

The response that her deputy would give them a thirty minute briefing next Monday and as you say they told her to jog on sums up the mess that it’s become .

prawnsambo · 24-11-2020 12:16AM

This is quite funny. Wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional.

Itssoeasy · 24-11-2020 12:18AM

The letter that was sent to Biden has a middle paragraph that’s part “don’t fire me I did my job independently” and apparently her pets got online treats.

It's the fact that they are only interested in invalid votes that are for Biden.

Are we to assume that if they find any invalid votes for Trump among this pile they'll ignore them ??

harr · 24-11-2020 12:31AM

So the transition has formally begun , trump on Twitter giving Emily Murphy the go ahead and to do what she needs to do.

TomOnBoard · 24-11-2020 12:37AM

Is this the closest we're gonna get to a Concession?

Is that...is that it?

valoren · 24-11-2020 12:48AM

The transfer begins. Sounds like a roundabout way of conceding. About bloody time.

Itssoeasy · 24-11-2020 12:51AM

Just seem trumps tweet along with the letter earlier. That’s a good as joe Biden and Kamala Harris will get in the ways of trump conceding so I’d take it and run with it.

Quin_Dub · 24-11-2020 01:01AM

He'll keep faffing about with the recounts and the PA court case so he can keep his PAC/Personal Piggy bank open a bit longer and then when he is forced to close it after the EC vote he'll make hsi big announcement for his 2024 campaign , allowing him to open a new PAC and keep the donations rolling in.

Him announcing plans for 2024 is the closest anyone will see to an official concession.

MJohnston · 24-11-2020 01:02AM

It’s ****ing over! Finally, Election Day has ended.

Trump will now continue to disappear from public view (save for maybe the turkey pardon thing tomorrow) and play golf. He does not give a **** about being President beyond the ego trip.

Oh I would imagine they would trot out some kind of "well the errors in this ballot clearly are due to the fervent passion for elections this person displayed as the filled it in so it should count for.....like.....10 votes now!"

Even then its brazen as hell what they were advocating, did they give a list of what "errors" they were going to invalidate by? I can only imagine it would be the most pathetically pedantic list of errors ever:

"Eh...this person marked this box with an X but one line is longer than the other so technically it doesnt look like the X the ballot asked for...gone!"
"This signature....the pen didnt touch the paper for 3 mm here so this gap means the signature doesnt FULLY match the recorded one...gone!"

No chance Trump wrote those tweets. It looks like the adults have finally told the baby that play time is over and that it's someone elses turn.

maebee · 24-11-2020 01:59AM

According to CNN Giuliano admits he's "Exaggerating a bit" as he spouts baseless voter fraud claims.

Another one about to bite the dust.

You hardly believe someone just took his phone from him and basically decided to make the decision to concede on his behalf.

And why couldn't he have said that 2 weeks ago? Such a f*cking joke.

I reckon that many of Donald's tweets over the past few weeks have been written by an aide. Like, he used the word 'egregious' recently! No way is that in his vocabulary!

I suspect that he is actually in a state of deep depression and despair. Post-Covid, steroid withdrawal, a massive personal election loss, etc. all must have blown up his psyche! All that, coupled with the realisation that 2021 is gonna be a legal nightmare for him and his, and he's gonna have to return to life as a former POTUS must be excrutiating for a narcissist like him.
