    Trump team really turning on Fox News... hilarious that it will probably be them (after declaring Arizona VERY early) that will be the first TV channel stateside to declare Joe Biden president :)

    That's the mail in process - it has to have numerous safeguards. Seems extremely thorough and flies in the face of Trump's ranting about fraud. There is no fraud and the multiple checks ensure that.

    Trump has really energised politics in America. Whether you love him or hate him he'll go down as one of America's greatest presidents. People are still talking about Julius Caesar, and they'll still be talking about Donald Trump in five hundred years time too.

    If he doesn't pull through in this election, after his spectacular showing there is every chance he gets a second term in four year's time, if he wants it that is.

    Does anyone know the ins and outs of this?

    It's odd that the Democrats are fighting against observers being present. Has it something to do with observers having to be bipartisan, or what? Strange one. It's feeding the Trump fanatics and I can see why.

    They wont declare. They'll wait pending legal challenges. Guessing

    If you don't get it it's fine. Yes people bet on stuff - horses, football, politics. But people don't generally move markets. Information moves markets.

    Liverpool's keeper is injured? The market moves.
    A horse is injured in the parade ring? The odds move.


    Professional gambers invest in technology and high speed internet connections to ensure they can act on information before anybody else. They also position themselves in places where they can access information before the general population.

    I agree with you here. It can be very useful to keep an eye on Betfair betting trends as they usually are a precursor for events if you know what to look for.

    I use software to track markets on Betfair and this picked up on early moves for Trump in Florida on the night of the election two and a half hours before the polls closed. I posted here and was told that I picked the information out of my arse and that I didn't know what I was looking at.

    It is a very secure voting system generally. If inefficient. The Wisconsin recount in 2016 changed the numbers by only 130 votes. That is pretty spectacular in terms of accuracy and detection of invalid ballots

    So when Trump goes to court it's legitimate but when democrats do so they are hiding something? You Trumpists are absolutely comical.

    its pretty simple...allow both sides to monitor the counting of results.

    if that isn't the case, questions need to be asked and rightly so.

    if yes, just get on with the counting!

    Jesus having to worry about the safety of elections staff and also their families. Talking about checks on vehicles.

    That was something that struck me earlier..

    Some sham decides that the way to "stop the count" is to burn down the count centre.

    There are nutters on all sides , but only one candidate is ranting for the last 36hrs about fraud and theft and and and..

    I have a terrible feeling that there is going to be some kind of tragic incident somewhere.

    Query: I thought postal votes were mainly for citizens not in the country on the date of an election/ or for people actually in hospitals.

    On what date was the 'postal votes' decided? and on what criteria? or was it just that absolutely anyone could post in their vote?

    And, from what date were they then allowed to actually post the postal votes.

    Legal observers are always allowed, it's the Trump Mob pushing there way into buildings that's the problem

    I know there was some dispute about how close these observers could get to the people performing the work. Implied intimidation. Something like that maybe?

    Nope but I was thinking, they would surely have had to provide evidence they were being kept too far away to be able to properly observe for the first order. If that's the case that is just plain weird

    How many of Gonald's's tweets from the last 36 hours have been flagged as bullsh!t by Twitter?

    Just caught Lewandorkski on the news there spouting a whole pile of nonsense. The Republican party actually trying to steal a presidential election. Shameless.

    Also, there is a pandemic, too many people who are too close could endanger people health. We already seen Trump rallies become super spreader events.

    Looks like Democrats are trying to hide something they should be delighted in having observers if they are confident Biden has the votes! Believe Biden is so popular dead people are voting from the grave for him!

    Not officially but in reality it is. It's also one of the many places Trump is suing.

    What exactly do you think they're hiding? It's pretty fair that observers shouldn't be able to get too close to a person during a global pandemic.
