Classic projection. "I know they're doing it, because I do it too".

Aligns perfectly with the fact that the only detected incident of voter fraud this year was a Trump voter.

Not possible here is it? Mail in voting. Not sure. So no, never done it.

Biden up by 5k in Pennsylvania!!

God if he wins in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia, Trump will find it very hard to sue them all lol

There are two sides to every story. In this case there's the crackpot 'they're making up votes and stealing the election' and on the other side there are stories like this one from an independent poll watcher. Incidentally, this is part of the reason why counting is taking so long. They're being deliberately slowed down. It's not a very long thread, but it's quite instructive.

This is great craic , Trump has told his allies he has no intention of conceding and won’t recognise the results

87% of the latest batch, and the rest will likely follow that average. Should be wrapped up now.

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

Where do folks see the senate ending up? Seems like the Alaskan candidate Al Gross thinks he’s in with a great shout with mail in ballots despite being at 32% from early counts. Am I right in saying Democrats would only need one of the two Georgia seats in the run off to get it to 50-50 in the senate?

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Anyone know now when PA will be projected? I'd imagine it will be in the next hour? All eyes on Fox news

5,500 vote gap too, which will only widen.

It's game over for Donald.

This is going to be incredibly amusing.

For Forks Sake

Biden ahead in PA, pulling in over 85% of votes around Philadelphia, still another c.20k votes to be counted in the same area which should stretch his lead

He better get used to the idea of either the police or military dragging him out of the Whitehouse then.

48-48 currently, so yes, Alaska would ease the pressure considerably.

Brian?

306 for Biden. Exactly the same as Trump 2016. According to Trump it was "the largest electoral college win ever".

It wasn't obvs

I can see Sullivan holding onto that seat to be honest. Should Gross win then the Dems need 1 of the Georgia seats assuming Biden wins.

The Georgia senate runoffs are going to be the mother of all elections.

He hasn't got the cash for that though. One or two challenges maybe.

Campaigns bust, he's bust.

Lawyers expect to get paid, and in Trumps case, I'd be asking for the money up front

The whole thing feels akin to the news when a ponzi scheme, which many saw through but in which many others invested their savings into, is in the process of imploding. You have zero sympathy for them because if they weren't sufficiently clued into appreciate and recognise the con they were being sold on then they've brought it on themselves. You’ll have some recognising how conned they were but you’ll always have that cohort that will be unable to admit they were duped and will never accept how their "investment" was stolen.

Trump last night couldn't even have the decency to condone any potential violence which might erupt. Yes, he was always going to play hard ball when the results began going against him but he could have said he would challenge the vote using legal means and made a plea for peaceful protest and eschew violence. His malignant narcissism would have people becoming violent in deference to him and the likes of his flying monkey enabling son coming out with words like going to war is why McConnell’s weasel words are simply insufficient.
