    What was trump on about when he was saying that Texas isn’t been tabulated ? Also, the states that aren’t counting votes like Pennsylvania is because the GOP controlled legislatures didn’t pass laws to allow them to do that. So, if trump has an issue contact his own party. Also, he said the voting should stopped except it has stopped.

    1.4 million mail in ballots outstanding in Pennsylvania.

    I genuinely have no clue what the current state of play is.

    What does Biden need and what does trump need?

    Waking to see things going according to forecast.

    The GOP wanting the counting of votes in 3 key states to be delayed.

    Trump claims victory without it being true and threatens to take matters to the scotus to stop the counting of votes.

    Hardmen popping up on here cheering for a despot, who, if he loses, I'm sure won't be around these parts again.

    The pathetic thing about this is that there hasn't been one trump supporter on this thread and others I've been on who will argue in good faith on the facts.

    The reason Trump is where he is, is because of the lies. If the truth be told, he's a failed businessman, a draft dodger, a serial adulterer, a racist and an utter buffoon.

    He can't defend the facts and neither can his supporters.

    So it means nought to me that he declares victory. It means nothing to me when people clap their hands with glee when Don Jnr talks about "lib years". It doesn't register at all.

    People cheering because he wants to throw away peoples votes? Laughable.

    For all the crass names you call him, he’s the president.

    Because of the GOP controlled legislature. Not any fraud. The GOP governor of Arizona is saying to stall the digger and let the votes be counted.

    They aren't names, they are facts.

    Would you like multiple examples?

    AP have called Arizona for Biden, which is good.

    I have a feeling you’ll be eating your words very soon when Trump wins.

    Or maybe you’ll be the hard man not around these parts eh?

    Nebraska, and the big two in the North East. I think.

    This is huge: Joe Biden has been declared the winner of Arizona and its 11 electoral votes, the AP just announced

    What are we waiting on?

    Michigan, Wisconsin?

    I think Biden has NE2, so the above two are enough, even without PA?

    Didn’t Fox News do that ? Or maybe they pulled it back.

    Georgia neck and neck
    Nevada looking good for Biden
    Pennsylvania looking good for trump
    North Carolina neck and neck

    None of it has been as interesting as the election story arc in House of Cards.

    Damn shame that series didn’t get to finish properly. Final season was very poor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,548 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    According to the Guardian

    "With Arizona in his column, Biden could potentially afford to lose Pennsylvania and still win the election if he carries Wisconsin and Michigan.

    Biden’s win in Arizona substantially limits Donald Trump’s path to victory, a fact that the president’s allies appear to be keenly aware of."


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,201 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Fox did call Arizona earlier, to the absolute fury of the Trump campaign. No one else called it though, till just now.

    well he is kind of right plus people here are making predictions even political commentators refuse to make and arguably would disagree with. I think the Florida vote is fuelling htis i.e. it appears only 2 times since the 20's has the winner not won presidency. still 2 times though......bit of a circus the US these days eh:D

    Wisconsin and Michigan are not looking good for Biden.
    Arizona looks very good for Biden.

    236 to Biden vrs 213 to Trump when I just checked AP

    Msnbc has a counter of how much of the expected vote is left and its 29,000,000 votes estimated to be counted. That’s a lot of votes still to go.

    Arizona has already been called for Biden, Trump can get 270 without PA

    Michigan still has a lot of counting but trump well ahead I wonder is there big urban centres left to be counted there that could swing it to Biden.

    Jesus Ben Shapiro is saying that what trump said is wrong. Also, if four years ago they stopped voting when trump is saying then he’d not have won two states.

    Not strictly true. Counting in all close states last time continued to narrow the gap. On Election night Clinton was only about 1 million ahead on raw votes and ended up almost 3 million ahead when all votes were counted

    Republicans such as Santorum wringing their hands over what Trump just said.

    JFC, these people. Have they been paying attention for the last 5 years?

    He's ahead by 8% in Michigan with 73% counted, would want to be a very big swing back to Biden.

    As said Arizona has gone to Biden and Martha mcsally is gone. Mark Kelly is going to the senate.

    NC will stay Red, but Georgia is definitely up for grabs.
