    Nope, if he got the next 18,000 it would be a tie, then it would leave 43,000 so he would need 21,501 of them to beat Trump.

    So basically he needs over 39,500 of the the remaining 61,000 to win which right now looks very likely

    There is 200k left to be reported, and 60k or so of these to be counted. He's 20k behind.

    As I said in an earlier post polling trends influence people. There is no doubt that it does so in this election it benefited Biden. I'm not saying it's a huge difference but when you see some states going down to the wire it my make an actual difference in the outcome.

    Of course there is, it's impossible to gauge what a poll(s) did in this election.

    Could have driven more Trump supporters out on Election day, or other voters may not have bothering voting if they thought Biden was so far ahead.

    No way of telling.

    Definite difference in the air today. Yesterday was 100% its Biden, today seems 60% by the way folks are talking

    I reckon the likes of CNN are trying to play it cool today just on the off chance it does swing and they're left embarrassed but deep down are already celebrating.

    bookies have biden favourite for PA (strong favourite) and GA (favourite). meaning trump can take arizona and nevada and still lose.

    CNN have repeatedly said it could swing either way.

    They have been more conservative then Fox.

    "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."

    Far right? Check
    Ultranationalist? Check
    Forcible suppression of opposition? Working on it.
    Dictatorial power? As above.

    If it walks like a duck...

    What fascists are you thinking of, a fascist who not a single journalist is even remotely afraid of? Who has no more power than any other president in the past?

    Not sure which evidence to follow here, song v bombs.

    Trump dropped more bombs than Obama, he's just supressed reporting of it.

    Nah, just that nothing much has changed for 24 hours since Michigan and Wisconsin were declared so there has been ages of talking through the multitude of possibilities without much significant results coming in.

    Georgia to do a vote dump in the next hour.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,136 ✭✭✭✭is_that_so


    Biden getting 7/10 and 8/10 votes in Georgia.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭froog


    trump's attempt to steal the election via suppression, misinformation and flat out cheating is an absolute disgrace. he should be held accountable for it.

    You're judging him by the outcome of his actions which so far have not been successful, but if he could I've no doubt that he would be locking up journalists and "dissidents".

    They really are. Pretty bizarre.

    Its being reported on twitter that Fox Execs are fielding calls from the likes of Kelly Anne Conway throwing tantrums.

    Ain't it cool.

    I really hope Biden wins, but this is not over. I know he is in a strong position, but if Trump overtakes him in Arizona, and Biden fails to overtake Pennsylvania then Trump is the next president.
    Would Georgia be enough for Biden if he doesn't get either Arizona or Penn.

    No, Trump has even more bigly numbers:

    https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2019/5/8/18619206/under-donald-trump-drone-strikes-far-exceed-obama-s-numbers
    According to a 2018 report in The Daily Beast, Obama launched 186 drone strikes in Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan during his first two years in office. In Trump’s first two years, he launched 238.

    The Trump administration has carried out 176 strikes in Yemen in just two years, compared with 154 there during all eight years of Obama’s tenure, according to a count by The Associated Press and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

    masterful tactic from CNN imo, let Fox take all the spewing from trump's camp.

    dont think arizona has a chance of going to trump.

    biden's leading in the 1 huge population center being phoenix with 86% in.

    With 16 electoral votes, if Georgia goes to Biden, Trump can have Arizona all day. It won't matter. That would put Biden at 269 Electoral votes, the EC would be a tie and the House (led by Democrats) would decide the election in January.

    I think they're just trying to keep people glued as long as possible - if people figure they know the result they'll switch off. I dunno what Fox News are doing anymore, their election coverage is lame compared to CNN and MSNBC.

    But yes you would think that especially in light of all the legal or civil unrest possibilities CNN would be the ones saying it's over while Fox News would be saying it's very possible and saying recounts are a good idea.

    Then again Trump's now swung back to 13/2 so even knows?! Biden at 1/5.
