    I think Trump has gone insane and I think he may have to be section 25ed.

    Which, even though it's Trump, would be a very sad spectacle for the world really.

    Off the last few days, anyway shows that pollsters were wrong again so this indicates shy trump voters as i mentioned weeks back. Election shows a very divided country between rural and urban. If you had said to republicans ye could maintain senate and increase numbers in congress and have biden as president i think most soft republicans would have been very happy. The feared blue wave has not happened which is good for the stock market(so im happy) and Trump really is showing what a sore loser is he as we all expected, its laughable some of his extreme support want to keep counting in Arizona but not elsewhere. Trump still had a good election but hes behaving terribly with all these conspiracy theories. Democrats will not be overjoyed with there election either so no side can chest pump.

    Averaging all the polls:
    Trump - 43.4%
    Biden - 51.8%
    Spread - 8.4%

    Current:
    Trump - 48.6%
    Biden - 51.4%
    Spread - 2.8%

    So they got Bidens % correct, but were out by 5.1% for Trump which is outside the usual margin of error of 3% by 2.1%

    I would suggest that "some" polls were way off, but when averaged not as bad as folks are suggesting (but still outside the acceptable margin of error).

    (Hope my math is good)

    Where they can count the first 90% of the votes in a few hours, and the final 10% in 3 days.

    God bless em.

    You have the wrong percentages, but the second half of the votes to be counted take longer as they are all in envelopes, that has to be checked, then another envelope inside that has to be checked for duplicate votes then they finally get to the ballot itself and can count it.

    Some states were forced to not be able to start the process until after the close of polls, others that Trump wanted counted earlier were done in advance. Trumps claims about "illegal" votes was entirely pre planned and based on making these states count things this way round.

    They also have to check the in-person voter rolls to check if the person who sent in the postal vote didn't also vote in-person as well. They check the signatures as well as social security/voter ID numbers. It's a long task.

    Down to 400 odd in Georgia.

    Biden expected to take the lead shortly.

    Their "job" was to harass and intimidate election workers. That's why they were told to leave from several counts.

    Nice to wake up to Biden having Georgia in the bag.
    Great win for the democrats, right in the south.
    Pity for Trump it has a big city in it :p

    Someone needs to take the phone away from Trump. Make him a nice mug of coco and send him to bed


  • Registered Users Posts: 56,377 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Not a single solitary word of praise for the many people giving their time and commitment to count these votes n this election.

    What an utter lowlife the U.S have as their current President!!

    The last ones to count are military votes, it could still be lost to biden by only 50-100 votes

    This is the thing.

    If he had taken the now inevitable defeat with a bit of dignity and class, given the majority's tendency for recency bias, he may well have restored his reputation a bit.

    The most pleasing thing for those who do not like Trump will be the fact that being known as a one term loser, the first in so long, will utterly shatter him and will eat away at him for the rest of his days.

    He is the behaving the exact same as a child who has lost a board game and is refusing to accept defeat.

    Georgia will be Bidens soon. Humiliation for Trump.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,098 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Seems that all but one county in Georgia has stopped counting whilst they go home for a well deserved sleep...except for one county that is where John Lewis was from. They clearly want to be the county that trips it over to Biden. :D

    And there is no evidence that the observers were stopped from observing. What they were asked to do was to stay 10 feet away from the election workers to a) allow for social distancing and b) prevent intimidation. A load of goons showing up demanding to be let in to intimidate election workers are not "observers".

    Im loving how CNN are ripping him to shreds the past few days. Chris Cuomo has done so a few times too. I know they may be a bit biased but rightly so in this case.

    CNN have been ripping into Trump - at least from what I've seen - every day for the past year. It's been a sustained campaign. They're the antithesis of Fox News.

    FBI have arrested 2 armed men who were on their way to the count center in Philly.

    Trump putting the lives of people who are merely election workers doing civic duty in danger.

    At this stage it seems clear that Trump will not step aside no matter what. As far I can see, it all depends of what position the Army take. Surely to **** the Army will realize that their job is to serve the constitution, not a conman who wants to dismiss the election result by referring to his buddy judges who owe him a favour? Because if it gets to the Supreme Court they will almost certainly side with Trump
