2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

So Biden might win 5 states by 1 million or more

California
New York
Illinois (maybe?)
Massachusetts
Maryland (maybe?)

Trump's best state looks like Tennessee at 700k or so.

Also note that Biden's margin in California is around 5 million.

This is kinda important, it shows how packed up Democratic voters really are, it's actually gotten worse since 2016.   It's now actually feasible to see the Democrats winning the popular vote by 4-5% and the Republicans still winning the Electoral College.

Is this really sustainable?   Would the government have real legitimacy with such a loopsided flipped result?   The elected National Leader winning significantly fewer votes than his opponent and still being elected to office? 

It sounds like a broken system to me.

Could you imagine the chaos if Dems won by the NPV by 7 and lost the EC, it would be ugly.

There would be no chaos; Dems would just lie down and take it like they always do.

No way you can change your mind on an official certification vote, this is absurd.

Edit: Yeah, no backsies:

Yeah, I don't think they can rescind their votes either.

[BudgieForce]

I assume they'd need to hold another meeting and vote to rescind certification.

[Beet]

This won't work but it Will be another brick in the wall delegitimizing Biden that the Republicans are building.

The "John Solomon" that's putting out this news about the Wayne County GOP canvassers, is this the same John Solomon that was caught working for the GRU and publishing Russian propaganda in The Hill under the guise of opinion articles?

[Gass3268]

Lol, they actually voted after the certification to waive any future reconsideration:

One and the same.  He was first out the gate with a lot of the Hunter Biden Ukraine stuff as well, back during the build-up to impeachment, and many here on Atlas were presenting him as credible.

His latest book is Fallout:  Nuclear bribes, Russian spies, and the Washington lies that enriched the Clinton and Biden dynasties, co-authored with Seamus Bruner of the Epoch Times, with a foreword by the notorious Peter Schweitzer of Clinton Cash fame.

I can't believe people fell for this stuff.

So apparently the law firm the two republicans used for the affidavits works for the Trump campaign. Pretty obvious its not a coincidence.

[Bootes Void]

These guys should be fired after, what a joke

[BudgieForce]

I know Gass3268 already posted a similar tweet, but thank goodness for foresight:

Sounds like they didn't have any intention of actually holding up the certification but wanted to build up their fascist credibility so they can jump on the grift bandwagon and get donations and a lucrative TV spot.

what are the chances those two nut jobs are getting large money transfers from republican operatives?

I wouldn't go that far, but I do think they were contacted by people connected to Trump, hence the Trump lawyers issuing the affidavits.

Idaho now official, but not posted on their site yet:

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

How are Michigan County Election Boards appointed? It's obvious there's a law requiring partisan balance but you'd think the Wayne County Commission (14D-1R) would appoint more sane Republicans than these two hack nutjobs, so I'm wondering how they got on.

[Tender Branson]

AR, MA and VA have missed their deadlines.

We are long past the point where these dirtbags need to start being arrested.  Democrats need to grow a pair.

All 82 Mississippi counties have certified results now:

But not added up yet on a statewide basis ...

They're too busy undermining progressives to care about stopping the institutions of this country from being undermined. God forbid right wingers think they're taking sides after all.

Is there a good precinct map out there?
