Ok don't panic about the Allegheny county votes. Here's the story from 5 hours ago.

Essentially these are special attention ballots. Ballots that were incorrect, then corrected or damaged or whatever.

They will be specially examined then counted carefully. Not as suspect as originally seemed.

It's just bullshit. It's coming from the fact that they want to accuse Democrats of cheating and stealing the election. That's all there is.

People need to remember that one of the defining aspects of the Trump presidency is that they realized they didn't need to do the whole "twist numbers and real facts to misrepresent them" thing and could just straight-up make poo poo up, without worrying about needing to be "technically true" or anything like that. When a far-right conspiracy theorist makes some bizarre claim, they're not basing it on anything, they're just seeding misinformation.

This. It's literally the Big Lie propaganda technique used by the Nazis. Facts don't matter. Make up big lies and scream them loudly and often. Modern social media provides too easy a path to amplify propaganda, and does too little to restrain it.

True freedom is unconstrained and cannot be bound by mathematics or ballots, true freedom exists in the heart and whatever your heart tells you is true. A mind so free it is unmoored from mere material reality.

Yeah I posted this up at the top of the page. It was a normal story dropped 5 hours ago and we all got caught off guard and freaked. (I just found it with simple Googling - these tweeters need to do the same).

Fox called it insanely early, then AP did, it was probably a huge mistake even if Biden squeaks it out anyway. The Fox guy has been really lovely about actually explaining WHY he called it and as funny as it is to hear Fox have to defend themselves to their own audience every few hours it honestly was really stupid.

It was called by AP and Fox when it was released that 99% of the vote had been counted with Biden leading. That was an error by Edison research(?) which has since been corrected, preventing more outlets from calling it, but fox and AP aren’t backtracking.

Fox gave it to Biden also.

They seemed to believe most of the remaining count favors Biden. Fox even got poo poo for it from the president and his campaign but they won’t reverse it. Fox thinks Biden will still win AZ.

And this has been refuted over and over because Fox doesn’t use Edison’s numbers. Fox called it because for whatever reason they think they were right. They weren’t going off of the mistaken numbers

yea according to Fox's guy they called it at 49%, and when asked how the hell the desk got to there he just kinda handwaves and goes 'uh the numbers duh'.

Fox and the AP, as far as I know, don't use Edison so this probably didn't effect why they called it. If it did I dont know why there would have been a 4 hour gap between calls.
