    Earlier people were saying that he just meant voting should stop and of course he isn't saying that legitimate votes coming in after election day shouldn't be counted. Well, he's saying it now:

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1324368202139357186

    Any guesses as to what he "really means" this time? Because it looks to me like he's outright calling for legitimate votes to be thrown out.

    It's exactly what he means. There is a very obvious dumbass in charge the past four years. How anyone can still support the ramblings of this looney is beyond me.

    61K left to count, not to report.

    Haven't heard that, link?

    You imagine they would have uploaded any counted votes by now.

    Not enough votes for Biden I reckon, will come up just short. Will be tight.

    THat's just to count though is it? Lots more to report?

    No, it needs a super majority. 38/50 states.


    No it doesnt once enough states that equal 270 electoral votes sign up to it then whoever wins the popular vote gets all their EC votes which being 270 means the popular candidate wins enough to be president

    Think Biden will fall short in Georgia.

    There are faithless electors to consider.

    no. the states can decide what they want to do with their electoral votes. this is promising to go with the nationwide popular vote.

    its not abolishing the electoral college, but promising to use their electoral votes to go with the national popular vote; rather than the state popular vote.

    I know that, the poster was saying there was votes besides them not reported yet.

    I haven't heard that, is there?

    Looks like they have given the phone back to Trump. He's going bananas over on Twitter.

    I think there will be a recount in Georgia!

    Is it known how much is left to report?

    They should give him a toy phone to keep him entertained without subjecting the rest of us to his drivel.

    Which states remain that haven't legislated to prevent faithless electors?

    It's showing as 96% reported with just under 5m votes, which would mean approx 200k left. If there was only 61k left to report, then it would be saying it's already 99% reported in Georgia.

    well i've been using NYT, you can click on a state for an estimated percentage of votes reported

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-president.html

    Georgia at 96% with around 4.8million votes cast.

    Georgia looking good for Biden!

    Paddy Power, the most reliable oracle for the future, is offering odds of 6/1 on Trump being the next president (as of 15:55 on Thursday) Biden, by contrast, is odds on at 1/9!!!

    That speaks truer than any biased pundit or pollster.

    Am I right, 200k votes still to report in?

    He said they went from 200K yesterday to 61K today, but there hasn't been any more reports from Georgia since yesterday, so they still have those 200K to report.

    At least that's what I remember.

    Say what you like about him but he is box office. I'll miss waking up in the morning to see what zany adventures he's gotten up to the previous day.

    There's a reason that there is a record turnout and it's not Joe Biden. It's because people either love or hate Trump. Guarantee you, there won't be as big a turnout in 2024.

    I wish I knew how betting odds worked :pac:

    He will still get up to zany adventures but now from the sidelines. Its a win win really. He can entertain with less consequence.

    My maths is poor but around that. 190ish

    In my mind its 61,000 more to count and when they are done they will submit 190k ish to the current totals.

    I personally think Georgia is gone to Trump

    But Biden is going to win Arizona, Nevada and Penn so it doesnt matter
