2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[SevenEleven]

I can’t believe I’m saying it, but Mitch McConnell is better than Lindsey Graham. I hoped against hope that after winning another 6 years, Lindsey would moderate himself again. Instead he is as far as I know now the ONLY major GOP figure who has implicitly endorsed ignoring the vote and letting state legislatures pick alternative Republican electors. Mitch wasn’t having that s—t, just said all the votes need to be counted.

They must have some real good dirt on Lindsey.

Way to disappoint me republicans

But seriously, no to the top 3, please no.

Ivanka is the only Trump that should even think about running.  Trump Jr. would be terrible.

Do you think hoping the SC overturns an outcome is calling for a cout if there is evidence to the legitimacy of the election process? They literally are calling me a revolutionary or some BS.

Only if there is evidence.  Haven't seen anything yet to quantify it.

Fair. Listen I am realistic. I am just optimistic. I realize it may not go our way.

How much vote is outstanding in PA now? Did Philly report? Is PA pretty much a done thing for Biden like we thought 8 hours ago when I went to bed?

What about Arizona. Any way that that is slipping from Biden?

175k ballots left in PA, 58k from Philly and 36k from Allegheny (those will be counted tomorrow)

SN, we lost this election (on the presidential level, at least).  There are convincing arguments about why it wasn't a disaster for the GOP, but sometimes the simple explanation is the true explanation, rather than some conspiracy theory.  I'm not saying that mass voter fraud is impossible, but it is improbable enough to require a very high level of proof, which we have not seen at all.  Plus, if there were systematic voter fraud, I don't think it would have allowed us to keep the Senate (most likely) and gain in the House.

hear, hear!

Exactly. If Democrats have rigged the election they've done a very bad job of it

Yea not the most inspiring top 3.  Pence is fine and Haley is meh.  Don Jr. is a big HELL NO.  Where is Josh Hawley?!?!

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Harris would humiliate Trump Jr. As with most on that list. I hope she doesn't run though.

Republican voters are truly pathetic

I mean Pence, Haley, Romney and Cruz are okay possibilities. Surprised Tucker is low and Trump jr is a no no

I honestly think we gotta "reward" fellow hispanics with putting one on the ticket. We've learned the GOP can't win with less than 30% of the Hispanic vote

Opinion of the Texas GOP redistricting the Rio Grande in 2022 for more Hispanic Republicans?

I honestly don't know enough about that part of Texas in order to say, my only knowledge is basically TX-23 and Tarrant/Dallas. I'd hope they'd be able to redistrict in some more Hispanic Republicans, we really need some, perhaps one of those three new seats could go there because Texas is changing the way they'll be counting the population I heard. Anything for better representation in the party.

Fair point. I guess my larger concern is about the counting process which the mail voting. Why not just count everything with independent watchers in Georgia, Michigan, Penn, AZ. Make sure it is right? Would the country really suffer that much?

[GAKas]

So does anyone know why election observers (of which there are plenty in Philly btw) aren't able to walk around while they count ballots? I assume because it's due to COVID, but is it also seen as possible intimidation? Legitimately curious

It's not that good if it's an open secret.

I'm willing to call Pennsylvania if the pundits aren't. The swings are just demolishing Trump. It would take a little more than a small miracle for him to prevail there at this point.

Arizona I'm less certain of, but Trump keeps underperforming in these vote dumps. He's not underperforming by enough that I'd feel comfortable calling it like PA, but I would much rather be Biden than Trump even if the election hinged on AZ.

WHERE ARE MY BALLOTS, GEORGIA?!?

Thought:

Is it destiny that the race will be called when we reach Page 538? ? ? ?

I don't think it's that.

CNN showing Trump's lead in PA down to ~22.5k

OK, so basically PA should be safe for Biden by now?

Stop cockblocking us GA!!!!

I agree that we should make this more transparent and less drawn out, but that doesn't mean that the results are rigged
