The point is concern trolls seem to be working overtime to make sure this happens by trying to dampen any enthusiasm for the Democratic party.

Funny, that sounds a lot like you right now.

LMAO

There a chud on Fox News explaining about a lawsuit they're getting ready because some observers got kicked out for not following COVID rules in the counting areas.

Surprisingly, the anchors are having none of it. I mean they say "Well, we're on your side as far as transparency goes, but do you have evidence of fraud?"


LOL, one of them just asked "why was the last election OK without the legions of observers?"

I think she called in because she was expecting an uncritical reception. She was extremely flustered with the lack of support she was getting.

I keep flipping back to Fox because I'm fascinated at how they've turned on Trump. I mean, they ain't fans of Biden by any stretch, but they do appear to be accepting the results as legit.

No, it's 48. The two georgia senate races are going to a runoff and alaska is still out, so there is a slim chance dems can get 50 or 51, but it's an uphill battle.

God, on the topic of AZ, imagine how furious the AZ GOP must be with McSally, given that she's cost them two Senate seats in two election cycles.

Hi I have a dumb question but is Texas still in play? It seems there’s still a lot of votes to count and the differential isn’t that big.

Texas did not expand mail voting options this year. To vote by mail in Texas, you have to be >65 y.o., sick or disabled, out of the country, or in jail. The deadline to apply was a month before the election. Its mail-in votes are highly, highly unlikely to break for Biden like others since nothing changed from previous elections (unless a shitload of dems got covid in early October and voted by mail because they were sick).

If it weren't for the fact that Donald Trump was just president it would be easier to appreciate how fuckin bizarre it is that the decaying corpse of Joe Biden has been elected president, over an incumbent no less! A guy whose campaigns in his prime went absolutely nowhere and had to be dragged to the finish in this primary.

While we're all hailing Black and brown people for once again saving the republic, it'd be great if some of that could be in the form of material support for minority communities in Philly who just last week were facing a police crackdown and having the National Guard called in over protesting the murder of Walter Wallace Jr., and who are still facing state violence.

I caught that live and thought it was strange, and I guess the cameraperson did to since they zoomed way the hell in on him. Are the observers normally allowed to record the counters screens? What are the privacy concerns there? I guess I don't know what's actually on their screens.

DecisionDeskHQ, which has the same level of credibility as major news networks when it comes to calling major races, has already called PA—and therefore, the election—for Biden. AP and Fox may not be far behind, given that their calls of AZ may have been a bit early, but will eventually hold up. With NV being a lock, they'll hit 270 even if they don't call PA.

They were definitely the ones on election night who seemed to have the best idea on whether races were in play or not.. They also had Biden likely to win Georgia throughout on their website well before the NY times flipped their needle over.
