The Official 2020 General Election returns thread CONTAINS NSFW IMAGES IN POST 3,884

Trumps twitter right now though... big legal fights incoming... he is gonna press this down the throat of the SC

So far I haven't seen any legal challenge that has any sort of validity to come out to even make it up for the SCOTUS to decide on anything. Maybe the absentee ballot extension in Pennsylvania, but it's an irrelevant case to determining the outcome.

Biden lead in GA stretching beyond 11K votes.

I hope Osshoff narrows Purdue's lead. Gives some hope. Got to do the whole Atlanta thing + more.

There is a lot of uncertainty on both sides about what the electorate who will turn out looks like for the runoff. Republicans think it favors them but then again they also expected to win the state handily.

Yup he’s the best. A trifecta

I mean, after the Russians stole the election in 2016, they either didn't bother doing it this time, or it didn't work. Has to be one of the two, no?

Who ever claimed the Russians stole the election in 2016? Pretty sure the consensus is that Americans happily voted for the worst president in US history, after digesting a healthy diet of foreign agitprop, Russia's included.

Really weird that they didn't interfere with our election this time, after throwing the race to Trump in 2016. Maybe they were just bored with the whole thing, didn't feel like it.

Russia didn't particularly care about "Trump" per-se, they are interested in sowing internal dissent in the US to keep us focused on internal problems and keep out of Russia's business (particularly as they eat off chunks of their neighbors...) basically they just want chaos in the US, and whatever best serves chaos and noise in the US services Russia's national interest. Not limited to election cycle activities by any means, but I'm sure they are 100% supportive of Trump's current rampage to delegitimize voting and democracy. A drawn-out contested election is undoubtedly Russia's best-case scenario for this election cycle, albeit they would have preferred Trump on the winning side of a contested election.

Very low-cost effort in social media for impressive returns in chaos, while hacking efforts are more expensive and not much known return other than getting e-mail dirty laundry in 2016. The real hacking efforts from China and Russia instead focused on gathering industrial, military, and political intelligence, rather than impacting elections.

Repubs are going to keep this election questioning going until at least the runoffs in Georgia in order to keep the base involved and riled up, regardless if it's at the expense of democracy.

Why bother, you guys are doing such a good job self immolating.

It seems that all the donations being made to Trump's 'Election Defense Fund' are actually going to pay off his campaign debt and to the RNC, and not to legal expenses to contest the election. So this appears to be yet another dangerous con that Trump is playing on the American people.

Yea, who gives shit about that. It's the power baby, the power.

I saw rumors of that but could not find any credible sources yet. Please link if anyone see some.

So Trump outscored them all. That might cheer him up?

 

[hal2kilo]

Oh, by the way, some asshole nobody in the Trump administration is refusing to sign the authorization for start of the transition. Facing reality is one of the biggest problems that this administration has. After all we turned the corner on COVID already.

Winning to the end.

Wasn't it only yesterday that the mainstream media was talking about how the Dems should reach out to the other side? Tell me how you compromise with crazy as witnessed again today by McConnell and the GOP.

What happened?

 

[MrSquished]

What happened?

Mitch and Co. stated that it is well within Trump's rights to challenge the election and no gop leadership will refer to Biden as president elect

Well there was the DNC hack -> wikileaks -> Roger Stone ordeal.
It has been confirmed that Assange got them from the ruskies right?
I’d say some stealing was involved.

They tried the same shit with Burisma and Hunter... and suddenly more emails magically appeared.

Russia is doing their part.

Wow. Fuck them.

Edit: well I guess we know how Biden is going to fare when it comes to appointees now...

 

[sportage]

Read between the lines....
Mitch McConnell in no way will allow Joe Biden to become president, P E R I O D !!!!!
Mitch cheated Obama out of his supreme court justice, Mitch jammed thru Donald Trump's supreme court justice, and NOW..... Mitch McConnell truly believes and fully intends to block, deny, refuse, whatever you want to call it, but absolutely in no way will Mitch McConnell allow Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to become president and vice president. McConnell believes he has that power. McConnell believes his powers are indeed unlimited.
So after the failed court battles have come to an end, expect a new battle with the senate and McConnell against Joe Biden. As it will turn out, Donald Trump will not steal this election.... Mitch McConnell will.

I am still unclear on how that strategy actually boosts turnout for Rs and seems pretty dependent on what Trump decides to do or not do. Election was a fraud so go vote doesn't exactly connect very easily.

They may be able to keep attention but will it translate into helping them in the runoff? I dunno.

 

[BUTCH1]

And gee, did Mitch wait for any official seal from any agency to celebrate his recent win?, how about Lady G?, did he wait? NOPE. So yea, no media certifies an election, but since forever when major media players, (AP/UPI, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, BLOOMBERG, MSNBC, CNN) have called an election every. single. POTUS. contender has, once a solid result is in and called by the press, called and conceded to their opposition and to wish good luck. Oh, wait, EXCEPT ONE.

Mitch can't stop it from happening.

But he can certainly stonewall Biden's agenda afterwards.
