    The election is all but over. Trump has won.

    Republicans need to get to work so they can change the law and allow Trump to go for a third term. The Democrats are stupid enough to support it so Obama can run again.

    Any sign of the 18 months of research on the Florida election that had you convinced Trump would win there by 10%+? You got that one pretty wrong.

    I'd be kinda happy if they could point me in the direction of the presidents plan, for example, of the replacement of ACA.

    Question about the Electoral College - do all states give all their electoral votes to whoever won the popular vote? Or do any of them allocate differently?

    I do. Iv been reading how 538 predicted biden as heavy favourite for months. That didn't work out. Just like their senate predictions.

    "We ran the election 10,000 times "

    Time for 538 to call it a day

    You're in shock. Not surprising. I told you all the polls were wrong but you would listen. Like last time rassamus were the only polling company right.

    You didn't tell me anything :confused:

    I'm not in shock - I'm making an observation. Nothing shocks me after 2016, Brexit ref etc.

    And polls are also bull**** in my book so we agree on that.

    538 tout themselves as compete experts but as you say this is the second election in a row they’ve got completely wrong.

    They were saying it’s 90% sure that Biden would win....?!

    I’m just glad I didn’t put any bets on based on 538s analysis.

    How did I not get my way? I got you to admit you do not care about the democratic process, you just want your guy to come out on top - regardless of him cheating to get there.

    The election is not over yet as all votes have not been counted

    Can someone explain, in layman terms for the dumb blonde posting (me, I'm not dumb, just using a stereotype) why the election is not won by votes.
    Theres 5 million votes. One person gets 251 million votes, the other gets 249 million votes, then whoever has the most votes win.
    Why do they do it different states? And not the whole Country

    CNN are starting to admit it's looking bad for Biden.

    CNN’s
    @JohnKingCNN
    just admitted that Joe Biden needs to win 75% of the remaining votes to overtake President Trump in Pennsylvania.

    Even went as far as saying “that’s a steep hill.”

    The numbers in Georgia are looking interesting. Trump had a sizable lead of 300k there about 3 hours ago. It's now down to 100k with a significant number still to count mainly from Atlanta.

    Nebraska and Maine allocate them based on congressional district.

    Definitely. Too early too call yet. This is the state of things based on races called/toss-ups according to associated press.

    All of them work like that except Nebraska and Maine which allocate them based on sub districts within the state

    But yep, popular vote within the state get all the votes.

    ....

    EDIT: Its ok, someone answered my question below.

    It should be the popular vote though. It doesn't matter that there is 20,000 (or however low the population is) in one state and 10 million in another. I just dont understand that. Count it all as votes.

    Was it Georgia that they said had a load of "postal" ballots handed in in person today? Surely they swing even, if not more Trump.
