| US election megathread 03:24 - Sep 23 with 162952 views | SpruceMoose |
Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!

You may have thought you were joking, but -
|
Think it's got to be a genuine risk - if batches of uncounted votes were destroyed / stolen in a critical state or two, that could be enough to flip the election, and there's certainly lots of angry people out there with automatic weapons etc...
Not sure what is gained by doing this in Arizona, though! |  | | |

Agree, his easier route is AZ and NV.
Georgia down to 18,000 now, which might still be too much.
PA, even though bigger has many more Biden friendly votes left to count. That could be the big one.
Lets just hope NV call it early today |
Looking at the counties still with a bit of counting to do in Georgia I think Biden might take it.
Edit: different sources have differing % votes counted despite having the same vote count. This comment was based on BBC % [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 12:06]

Yeah PA is basically in the bag based on numbers of outstanding votes & where those votes likely to go. That's the one the Trump nut jobs need to do something about ASAP, cos he's still in the lead at the moment and without it he's sunk. Michigan looked close a couple of days ago and now Biden is ahead by 160k. [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 12:58]

You've got to look at it all and say - imagine how exciting this would be if they could deliver all these plot twists in one evening, rather than stringing it out over a week.
In many ways better than the UK version, where at 10pm you get the exit poll and think f*ck not again, and then still sit up for hours in a daze listening to Ed Balls' and George Osbourne's 'banter.' | | | |

Seems the win is a Judge will allow republican observers to observe his loss from 6ft away, not the usual distance. | |

Observation was always allowed, so what has he won here? That even more of his greasy chinned Arby's dwellers can mouthbreath masklessly over the count officials? | |

Georgia looks to be an absolute nipple-twister, lead down to 14,857 but not too many more to count.

Is it me or is the mood turning again, back towards Trump? Arizona seems back in play. Hope I'm just being a worrier. |  |

My brother just sent me a text:
"Looking at this election coverage, why are all the cool places you've heard of and wouldn't mind going to in the blue areas?"
Why indeed. Maybe we do need a wall, just not the one Trump wanted. | |
