Some thoughts:
This is nowhere close to being over.
It may not be finalized for a while, but trump's path to 270 is highly unlikely. It's why he's trying to stop voting in MI right now.

After recount in 2011 race for WI Supreme Court, there was a swing of 300 votes. After recount in 2016 Presidential race in WI, @realDonaldTrump numbers went up by 131.

As I said, 20,000 is a high hurdle. #Election2020 https://t.co/CEr82eiCWH

I'm reading that trump has filed a lawsuit in MI to stop voting until they can access ballots.
Come the fuck on.

Nah, it is dirty. 10 times the amount of mail in in PA? Dems knew they couldn’t take Trump on an actual Election Day so they did this mail in campaign by pushing the Covid fear and there are going to be errors. PA is accepting ballots for another 7 days. Why? Mail in should have been cut off BEFORE Election Day. It is almost as if they sit around to see how many votes they need then let the harvesting begin.
Ask the PA republicans, they're the ones who didn't want the ballots counted before election day. Similar to NV, they didn't want to count them before and didn't want to count them afterwards. I mean c'mon, that's pretty transparent.
Count all the votes. That's how democracy works.

There's way too much doom and gloom everywhere. It's a crapshoot from here on out.
We're seeing one of the consequences of treating politics like sports and dividing the country into two sports teams.
Last night was the Superbowl and both sides wanted a decisive win so they could dance in the end zone and mock the losing team.
Our culture isn't suited for slow vote counts and recounts.
We're Veruca Salt....we want it now.
Everybody wants a decisive win, it's probably in our nature.
But a win is still a win and I think we should probably just see it as that. I anticipated a blowout from other data surrounding the polls and the severity of the covid crisis. I also have a hard time accepting the values in the stock market, also based on data I feel is valuable. In both cases reality is different than my emotions, so I have to accept it with a shoulder shrug, lol.
America ain't good at waiting...for anything. Can't disagree with that.

Trump's speech last night was highly authoritarian and anti democratic:
Keep counting the votes in Arizona because I clearly won and stop counting votes everywhere else because I clearly won.
Again, just one of the reasons he never should have been president and should not continue to be. He attacks our institutions with outright lies. In this case if he loses, he'll ensure a messy transfer of power, possibly violent because of shit he says.

Trump needs a miracle win in MI, WI or NV to get past 270.
WI is pretty much Biden now.
MI and NV looks like they are absolutely leaning for Biden, with a low percentage of the vote still out in Dem areas. But it ain't over until the fat lady sings.
I'm so curious about GA and how that turns out. Still waiting for that Atlanta vote to come in. Even though I predicted a GA and AZ win, it would be a fascinating election if it played out that way.
If Biden can win WI, NV and MI, then it's game over. I'd imagine that PA or GA would play a role Trump's response to all this. He's already claiming he wants a recount in WI. In my mind, if PA or GA is a loss for him as well, then contesting the other states or demanding recounts is pretty useless.

Now twitter is censoring Trump's tweets. While he shouldn't be talking about election stealing, censoring him is crossing the line.
I disagree. He's putting out conspiracy theories and outright lies. The difference between his "announcement" and Biden speaking was night/day. One of the many reasons he shouldn't be president to begin with. We might as well just have somebody from the comment section in youtube or facebook. Same crazy shit.
#89 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 243 weeks ago
Looks like Biden will probably pick up NV. We're also waiting for the urban areas of GA to come in. If Biden wins GA, then the path to 270 for Trump becomes almost non existent. If he does not win GA, then he still has the upper hand although trump is still in the race.
From what I'm reading, MI and WI both are waiting for early votes to come in which analysts see as a big positive for Biden.
I'm trying to stay up for NV and GA results and then going to sleep. Those are probably the last two that will get called tonight it appears.
#90 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 243 weeks ago
AZ being called for Biden shifted the race for sure.
Now we've got a handful of states that are saying we may not know the results until the end of the week. I know some of these are state laws, but how hard would it have been to make an exception for a global pandemic and count them as they came in (early) ?
