President-elect Joe Biden. God, I love that.

Do you really? Or do you just like that the democrats will be back in the white house?

Wow, you really are brand new to Atlas. Pretty sure all of Atlas knows that my love for Uncle Joe knows no bounds, so you really wouldn't be asking unless you really had no idea what you're talking about...

Most democrats I know, all agree that Biden is an awful candidate on the basis that after 47 years he's still achieved nothing in politics, is likely taking corrupt money from foreign governments and changes his positions on core policies to suit the mood.

Oh, so it's just that you really have no idea what you're talking about. Gotcha.

how much would this effect the remaining ballots?

[Buzz]

Is GA gonna count those remaining 48K ballots or

They aren’t nearly Democratic enough to make a difference at this point

Biden would need ~65% to tie. His mail ins have been going 70%+. Why are you always lying?

You're the last person on earth that has room to talk about being wrong.

[skbl17]

can someone do an idiots guide to the remaining Georgia counties?

Of the counties that have absentee ballots remaining, all but Forsyth, Harris, Floyd, Laurens, and Taylor are very blue.

However, Biden is winning absentee votes or coming very close even in red, red, red counties like Forsyth and Bryan:

Georgia update:

Watching the SoS press conference: there are 8,899 UOCAVA (overseas and military ballots) issued, but the question is how many of them are postmarked and how many will arrive by tomorrow afternoon, the deadline. We don't know.

Don't military ballots get counted regardless of the deadline?

No. By law, UOCAVA ballots must be postmarked by 7pm on election day and arrive at county election offices within three days of the close of polls (that's Friday).

I thought a law was passed by Congress which meant that nationwide, UOCAVA ballots had more time to come in.

Sen. Bob Casey: No future Republican candidate (president, governor) will ever be as effective in PA as Donald Trump

Can confirm

He is correct here.

[GeorgiaModerate]

What about Military ballots in GA?

There are 8,000 outstanding but they need to be received by tomorrow if they are in the mail at all (big if).

On MSNBC they said a military guy was meeting with Trump just now.

Chances Trump is demanding they speed up delivery and/or commit some kind of fraud over ballots in Georgia?

Based on comments by ex-military members and service families I know in Georgia, I wouldn't expect these to be a lifesaver for Trump.

Not a very big win through, it moves the date to cure a ballot from November 12th to November 9th

how much would this effect the remaining ballots?

Almost certainly not enough to stop a Biden win. They're getting more desperate now.

[BudgieForce]

That last court order is just mean spirited. Non-cured ballots wouldn't get counted right now anyway.

Yes, but that didn't affect postmark deadlines. This is a screencap from the Federal Voting Absentee Program website (FVAP.gov):

This is a thread to discuss election results. To keep ourselves sane we go off topic & joke around but please don't just point stupid talking points- you're not on the sunday shows.

Each of the points I made was a fair one. After 47 years, Biden has suddenly decided 8 year olds should legally be allowed to have a sex change. right....

OMG! I didn't know you were an Atlas poster. I *love* your books. Prisoner of Askaban is my favourite, but I kinda love the Philosopher's Stone, too.

I like Biden for Biden.  He's a class act, a decent man, a "good" politician, willing to work across the aisle, recognizes the power of bipartisanship, and has a strong desire to restore decency and respect to the Oval Office.

Your guy is the most horrid person ever to be president of this country.

Fair enough. I respect your opinion.

Out of genuine curiosity - do you have any curiosity or wonderment for Hunter Biden and James Biden having a track record over decades for coincidentally earnings contracts in countries where Joe Biden had responsibility for U.S foreign policy, despite both James and Hunter having no experience in those industries and no experience doing business in those countries?

Seriously? Do you even know Trump’s family?

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

can someone do an idiots guide to the remaining Georgia counties?

Among those with >1000 ballots left:
Chatham and Gwinnett: Very Blue, maybe Biden +40 in the VBMs
Fulton and Clayton: Overwhelmingly Blue, maybe Biden +80
Forsyth, Harris, Laurens: Very Red, but probably close to a draw in the VBMs

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

If Daryush "legalize rape" Valizadeh would like to move to West Virginia, I'm sure whatever state he currently lives in would be happy to see him go.

Funny how John ‘Equal Sovereign Dignity’ Roberts and Bret ‘State legislatures have ultimate authority over all elections, even when they pass laws they aren’t bound by them’ Kavanaugh haven’t found a problem with that.

Ah! That's the specific set of provisions.
Thanks for the info.

Only legitimate rape, of course.

Biden becomes the first candidate to get 2 million votes in Massachusetts history. This was almost guaranteed to happen because Clinton got 1.995m.
