Can Biden still take the lead in PA today without Allegheny?

If this is true, that’s ridiculous.  Finish the freaking count before you take a day off.

[MillennialModerate]

Do we have any idea what the popular vote will end up at roughly?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

It does seem that the numbers in PA have tightened toward Trump

I know I know. I’m a worrier

I'll let you in on a little secret, MillennialModerate: lots of us non-doomers are a little worried as well, and that's why we're giving you a hard time.

Trump's really making Bondi, Lewandowski, and the gang work for those pardons.

Speaking of helpless. You’re a Democrat in Florida? How does that feel....?

Obviously most people's predictions were wrong - red avatars trusting polls and blue avatars expecting a larger error or swing in their direction - but I think everyone should appreciate how incredible turnout has been. I never imagined America could hit these percentages again. Both the Trump campaign and anti-Trump sentiment have brought millions of new Americans into the process.

I'm a total partisan hack and disappointed by plenty of results, but this is something incredible.

YES it's incredible how BAD your side did with the entire political establishment, media, big tech against Trump

In principle, I have no problem with that. Someone should keep an eye on the Trump observers though.

Poll Watchers are usually in their own area off to the side. They won't be able to just walk around and mess stuff up.

My concern is that they'll either:

-lie, and claim to have witnessed "massive evidence of fraud" for Trump propaganda purposes

-try to steal, destroy, or otherwise spoil a significant chunk of ballots "oops, can't be counted now, too bad"

I'm concerned, sure.  And I don't like how people are celebrating like this is over.  

But as I said further up this thread: I know it's nerve-wracking and thought-consuming.  If you're finding yourself losing your mind with worry, though, it's not the worst thing in the world to get away from here, Twitter, etc. etc. if for but an hour.

I think what doomers in this thread need to realize is that all of these Trump tactics are not about winning at this point, the race is over, Trump has lost and that won't change.  This is merely a PR stunt to make his supporters feel like the race was stolen despite the fact that the margins in some of these states like PA probably won't be all that close when all is said and done.  Reason: he is staring at a lot of legal problems in New York and wants to create civil unrest so prosecutors don't touch him.

That is so wrong. If Trump takes AZ and GA , PA will be litigated heavily.

It might be litigated but that doesn't mean it won't still go to Biden

[GeneralMacArthur]

Georgia SOS just announced by-county totals of remaining vote for Georgia.  Did we already know that information?  Sounded like there weren't very many left in Fulton.

you're not a worrier. you're a troll. mail in ballots have continued to get even bluer for Biden. You don't even provide accurate information

Why don't you ask Senator Joe Kennedy?

[ProgressiveModerate]

Again, can we please stick to analyzing results instead of just dooming and getting into irrelevant arguments. We can disagree with each other’s analysis, but let’s disagree respectfully and stick to the topic at hand.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Even if Trump actually did get an injunction to stop votes coming in after Election Day, it doesn't change the writing on the wall in PA. It probably means he keeps NC and maybe GA, though.

GA doesn't accept ballots that arrive after election day anyway.

Nope. Court ruling stated that for this election, any ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by tomorrow will be counted. No idea why nobody is talking about these (or the provisionals, for that matter), which combined will likely be north of 20k votes and 70% Democratic.

In GA?

Yes. But it's honestly unacceptable for them to just casually wait until tomorrow.

This is the bargaining stage right?

Use to be, I’m in Virginia now. Yeah, not great down there in Florida.

The Laxalt family of Nevada politicians are trash NeoCons - news at 7.

Absolutely. He also would’ve won the state if everyone who voted for Biden just didn’t vote!

This is why getting the run-off with Ossoff and Warnock is important. Mitch is going to Mitch. And hopefully a Hail Mary happens and Cunningham squeaks out a stunner.

They might be doing other election work??

Yeah if anyone quotes Bill Stepien in here... just don't. He knows nothing about anything.
