WHAT THE EVER LIVING SQUIRRELNUT OF A FACK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!

If I should decide to turn grifter id take the trip over there and grift the fuck out of deeply religious deeply ignorant people... there is mega millions to be made there, I bet I can do ot better than those fools too..

I think his top priorities should be ending the Pandemic ..It appears as if he will be entering office in the middle of winter ... Much of the nation will be indoors keeping warm creating ideal conditions for the virus spreading

Yes, obviously. But that's why you set up a committee that does this other thing and can focus on that problem, so you can also work on that deadly pandemic thing at the same time. These are things that will take a crazy amount of time "to fix," so you can't just set it aside and hope to fix one problem at a time, thinking you will accomplish all your goals.

I think that, pandemic or not, restoring the structural ability of our electorate to fairly vote and so make their voices known in response to government is one of the most important things to deal with.

 

[NWRMidnight]

I know throwing money at things typically doesn't work in these scenarios, but what would happen if people like Bloomberg injected massive amounts of cash into Ossoff's runoff election?

Also, it seems like the Dems have a pretty simple and effective message that should appeal to everybody: nobody gets more stimulus unless Ossoff wins.

He's down by less than 100k votes. That seems within striking distance?

That would be suicide. As much as people need the stimulus, you don't hold your citizen's hostage, and it would cost them, not just in the Senate, but in future elections.

 

[NWRMidnight]

They might want to put Trump on suicide watch. Specially if NC flips before their count is over.

Well regularly holding their own constituents hostage doesn’t seem to hurt republicans that much but honestly who cares - the point of governing is to help your constituents. They should do that by any means necessary.

 

[zinfamous]

Agreed. Vets support him by a slim margin but the only active duty polls I’ve seen have him trailing Biden.

Of course only suckers and losers would support Biden!

Bloomberg isn't the Kingmaker he thinks he is. Didn't he throw a ton of $$$ into Florida? That didn't turn out well.

yep, but emperus made a good point earlier that Trump will no longer be on the ballot. Also GA certainly isn't SC, for example, which is a fundamentally lost state at this point and where money apparently goes to die.

 

[pauldun170]

Raffensperger ordering recount in GA. Not sure how I feel about that. I think it may be a good thing, getting ahead of a Trump legal shitshow, and Biden's lead will be safe regardless.

In any state with such a tight race, a recount should be expected. For race where it's close I think due diligence should mandate a recount to insure results are accurate.
At this point, a Georgia recount might not even matter and have no impact on a Biden win.

Black women won this for Biden

Try again little boy.

Hell - if anything women (of all different types) supported him MORE.





You keep throwing out these ridiculously moronic stereotypes which is really just veiled-racism - and even get proven wrong time and time again.

Ffs, why are Nevada and Arizona taking their sweet time with the count?? I haven't read anything that explains this. Also, not that it matters, but wtf is up with Alaska? It's still at 50% of projected votes counted.

Could it have something to do with him urging people to vote in person & Biden urging to vote by mail.

I can't help but think this is less "try to change the outcome" and more "give Trump's exit legitimacy so he doesn't make a complete disaster of it."

Based on how Trump has acted so far, I suspect the GOP is genuinely concerned that he'll not only create an ugly court battle (which he's already trying to do), but that officials really will have to drag him out of the White House on January 20th. The more legitimacy they can give to the outcome, the less likely it is that Trump hauls the GOP through the mud... more than he has already, anyway.

That chart says that only 8% of black women voted for Trump. Which supports the OPs point, rather than yours.

(Also, what are the margins of error on those bars?)


And why do you keep pushing this 'talking point' of comparing this election with the previous one? It seems like you are trying to take consolation from tiny changes in particular categories. Just random variation alone is likely to mean the small numbers are more likely to go up and the big ones to go down - that's in the nature of numbers. Some of it is presumably because his opponent is Biden not Clinton.

n0b0dy, n0b0dy, n0b0dy.

See the bar-graphy thing that is the littlest?

Those represent the people who definitely did not most supportiest Trump. It could be argued that, the people in that bar-graphy thing are the people who most supported Biden.

But you keep screaming hysterically at a mirror.

If the Senate ends up tied after the two Georgia runoffs...how do they decide leader?

Harris is deciding vote.

This is your answer:

As a Nevadan, this is incorrect. Trump/NVGOP have lost every lawsuit they've filed save two:
1. One is being settled and allows a few more observers.
2. One was just filed and hasn't had a preliminary hearing.
There are no ongoing lawsuits in which there is judicial oversight of ballot counting.

The slowdown comes from two factors:
1. Approximately 60,000 statewide are "provisional" ballots. Nevada has same-day voter registration and those voters are allowed to cast provisional ballots. The provisional ballots are counted LAST. In order to count a provisional ballot the County Clerk must verify the voter's information with the Secretary of State to ensure that the voter did not cast a ballot in any other county. This is a very slow process.
2. The remaining ballots are mail-in ballots. Nevada law permits mail-in ballots to be counted if they are postmarked by Election Day and received through today, I believe. Pretty much all of the mail-in ballots remaining are in Clark County (Las Vegas). Due to the relatively short timeframe on implementing statewide mail-in voting, Clark County only has one signature matching machine. They're processing about 30k-50k votes per day which, to me, seems reasonable given the capital constraints.
