    We've had four good years of watching the lefties cry, entirely worth it, hope your few weeks of false hope matches it.

    So, about those postal delays under Trump's Postmaster...

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/05/usps-late-ballots-election/#click=https://t.co/MbKWDga965

    "USPS “processed 94.5 % of ballots on time [the expected rate is 97%],” but in the “9 postal districts spanning 5 states — AZ, NV, PA, NC & GA — that have yet to decide the presidential race, the on-time rate was 84.6 %.”

    So, altogether now - postal delays were about 10% worse than average in...

    Arizona
    Nevada
    Pennsylvania
    North Carolina
    Georgia

    ... All states where Biden's mail ins are having dramatic effects late in the day.

    Funny how that works.

    "illegal votes" - says Trump.

    Where is his evidence the votes are illegal?

    No, it needs to be federalized and made a standard procedure across the country so as to remove doubt. Part of the reason Trump's supporters are swallowing his absolute tripe is the fact that all 50 states seem to have different, overly complex rules, many of which are devoid of logic.

    It'd be great to have it standardised but I'd imagine it'd take quite a bit of effort and co-ordination.

    Fact is, there is no evidence of the actual mechanics of the system not working. It seems to be working perfectly from everything I'm seeing and hearing. It's just Trump's lies and water-muddying that are causing the problem. In an operation this big, no matter what is used, a loose cannon like Trump will always be able to find some suggestion of a problem or at least give the impression of some sort of problem because of the amount of hearsay and nutjobs around. I genuinely don't think there is an actual issue with vote counting.

    The Electoral College as a method of deciding the election is a whole other conversation though.

    The Trump campaign have set up a voter fraud hotline in a last ditch attempt to try and find some sort of evidence. :rolleyes:

    Some people in Doonbeg in Clare is rooting for a Trump win. WTF?

    Trump is a good businessman, I'll give him that much but that's all he is. He was pig ignorant as a president and a leader of a country. Like his biggest problem this year was Tiktok - in the middle of a global pandemic where many of his people got sick and unwell and died and suffering from long covid.

    Hopefully he will lose the presidency and it's looking likely he will but that's not going to effect his position as a businessman much and his business in Doonbeg.

    Oh for sure, the EC needs to go. Archaic nonsense.
    Unfortunately a constitutional amendment in the USA needs cross party support, because it needs a supermajority in the Senate AND 38 states have to ratify it. (chicken and the egg.. referenda should also be popular vote)
    And Republicans will never support it while they are consistently losing just about every Presidential election on popular vote.

    Ah yes, but THATS not "voter suppression", I'm sure "Barking Don" has a different sound byte description for that one . . .

    The craziest thing about that is the possibility (limited i know) that at the end of it all, the Electors are real people who could change their vote!


    Why does there need to be actual people doing it - why not just change it from Electoral College votes to 'Election points' and 270 points wins the election.

    is she taking votes from Biden or from Trump?

    Mostly from Trump. Probably enough to have made him lose.

    Echoes of the Green Party's Jill Stein in 2016, whose total combined vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin was more than the gap between Clinton and Trump in those states.
    Twice in the past five elections, the Green Party may bear responsibility for changing the outcome of a presidential election. Despite Jill Stein garnering less than a third of the votes that Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson received, Green Party votes were indeed the difference in three Rust Belt states. In Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, President-elect Donald Trump’s margin of victory was less than Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s vote count. A difference of about 80,000 votes determined the outcome in these three states.

    Mr. Johnson won far more votes but polls suggest he drew nearly equally from Mr. Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. This cannot be said for Ms. Stein’s voters, who would have likely been almost exclusively Democratic voters. The difference this year dwarfs the 537-vote deficit that cost then-Vice President Al Gore Florida and the presidency in 2000, but it is still real.

    The stand out for me has to be the Presidents 'speech' from the White House last night.

    Never before has one man managed to make the most powerful office in the world look so weak.

    Very much so. The office of president appeared weaker than I've ever seen it and and so did the man himself. For a grown man to rationalise looming defeat as "I was winning until they counted the opponent's votes" can only be described as pathetic.

    Or just scrap it altogether and let the national, democratic vote decide the outcome?
