    The Trumpees with their Math degrees are claiming that's what going on, that it's not even possible what is happening. That the turn out is abnormal and running close to 100% in places/

    There was a spreadsheet screenshot going around Twitter earlier that had a column for registered voters and a column for projected votes, where the projected votes were higher than registered voters. However the registered voters column was about 5% higher than the 2016 turnout in those states. If the registered voters column was correct then the 95% turnout in 2016 would have been just as suspicious as a 105% turnout this year.

    You might be joking, but when you look at how the vote has broken down urban versus rural, it is a deeply divided country and at this point any one, in any way aggressive or cynical or bitterness, would find it very easy to stoke further division.

    Trump now due to speak at 11.30 pm Irish time.

    Hard pass. It’s going to more lies and conspiracy theories of things that aren’t happening.

    This will be historic. He couldn't handle Biden speaking.

    Still worth listening to him though, smiling knowing we won’t have to listen to him for much longer.

    just glad someone got the reference.

    that tweet about total war from junior though ... highly irresponsible.

    You're in for a world of hurt if you believe everything you read.

    Maybe he will concede ?

    Absolutely no way that's going to happen in my opinion. He'll fight this for as long as he can

    The PA Sec of State has just said whilst all votes won't be counted the figures by the end of today with show who the winner is.
    So we'll know. I think the way she spoke was code that Biden would be clear but I might simply be projecting, nighty night Harr.

    Figure it has to be Biden. There is about 27000 votes that won't be counted till at least tomorrow. (unless that order was changed).

    So if Biden gets close to 30k behind with what they have called that seems impossible to call.

    Unless they hit a glut of random Trump votes I can't see Trump winning by enough to make it certain.

    Team Trump likely figure that Biden will speak tonight, and they cannot allow him to have uncontested coverage especially if he comes across like the president-elect.

    Clearly, he’s going to concede defeat and congratulate Biden and wish him all the best for the future.

    You would be worried how far they'll push it? At some point the GOP will have to step in.

    I mean. We have been saying that for 4 years. Maybe when they know he's finished and has thrown up the 3 eyed fish they will drop him.

    Trump? On the networks?

    That would be a reasonable question for any other president at any other time. Not so much now... In fact highly unlikely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,528 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Is Trump just giving a speech or is it a press conference?
    Should be good either way.

    Early night plans gone again:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,121 ✭✭✭TomOnBoard


    A large swathe of these people genuinely believe the bull**** they are being fed and as such will feel righteous. This mixed with how much that country loves its guns is a very dangerous mix.

    But look, how could they be right when they're being braInwashed by people like Paula White who is Trump's so-called spiritual advisor.

    This was from a streamed service she held last night to get him elected... I mean, What.The.Absolute.Fcuk?????

    Trump losing significant mail in votes to Biden in Trump counties in Pennsylvania. This is promising.

    Biden just flipped Erie County with 4000 votes to count still.

    Another 20k for Biden in Pennsylvania vs 9k for Trump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,236 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Oh Christ those numbers from that trump county weren’t good. In a trump county Biden got 20k and trump got 9k. Surely it’s a case of when not if Biden wins Pennsylvania.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Important to remember the near 90,000 in Philly still haven't been added. At least 70,000 of those will go to Biden. This won't be close at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,140 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    This will be a nasty nasty speech at 11.30.

    John King tought earlier on the figures coming in, if that was the way they kept coming, then Biden would win with over by 40K.

    McConnell was first.

    Now Haley.
