US Election 2020 - Lame duck days

[OrbitalDawn]

CNN is so pathetic...

That's not the headline, the headline is "Biden urges America to mask up for 100 days as coronavirus surges".

Either way, how pathetic is it that this is how low the bar is and Trump couldn't even clear it.

I did lol when this came in on one of the more dodgy telegram channels I follow.

I should have probably said, "why are they hiding something under the table" instead of assuming it was ballots. Doesn't change the fact that no-one has actually been able to give an answer other than 'the guy say we trust said everything is cool'.

Even if nothing nefarious was actually done, people doing stuff like this makes it easy to throw an election into dispute.

Or maybe you could try not being so credulous about baseless, obviously bad-faith claims from inveterate liars?

The video evidence should have a better explanation.

Why the hell were ballot containers not left in plain sight? Or with the rest of the containers?.
There is nothing transparent about it, which is a legal requirement in Georgia.

Even if nothing illegal was done, the optics of it are terrible.

Fox News' ratings have not recovered. Anyone who didn't stump for Trump lost major support. Trump got more of the minority vote than any Republican since 1960 or something. That makes Trumpism a valid counter to Dem identity-politics. A political seismic shift is underfoot.

lol, that alternate reality still going strong, I see.

No, Trump Didn’t Win ‘The Largest Share Of Non-White Voters Of Any Republican In 60 Years’

While Trump did improve on his performance with minorities in 2020 vs. 2016, according to exit polls, the previous Republican president—George W. Bush—did significantly better in 2004.

Greg, it's not my measure of success.
I'm very confident that if we have a poll worldwide and ask if someone became a billionaire, married a model, and became president of the united states he would be considered a successful person by 95% of the population.

That's what I mean by an objective measure. Success is subjective. And I am certain by his subjective standards Trump has reached most of his lofty goals in life.

Have you? I'm still grafting.

"became" doing some very heavy lifting. Getting $413m from your dad makes that a tad less impressive.

Can consider Zuma successful, too, by that measure. More so even, since he didn't inherit $413m...

'The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.'

Which of the above are disputed between Biden and Trump due to narrow margins?

It's complete trash, as usual from Judicial Watch.

JW has made numerous false and unsubstantiated claims that have been picked up by right-wing news outlets and promoted by conservative figures. President Donald Trump has repeatedly cited false claims by Judicial Watch about voter fraud. Courts have dismissed the vast majority of its lawsuits.

Judicial Watch files lawsuit against state over voter rolls, but it's misleading, expert says

The conservative group Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold over claims that Colorado has more voters than it has people. But the lawsuit

Inaccurate study makes false claims ahead of Iowa Caucus

CLAIM: Eight Iowa counties have more adults registered to vote than voting-aged adults living there. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Iowa Secretary of State knocked down the false information, showing it was based on outdated information. THE FACTS: In advance of the Iowa caucuses being held...

Rightwing groups spread false information about voter rolls hours before Iowa caucuses

Judicial Watch falsely claimed several Iowa counties had more voters on their rolls than were eligible to vote

Do Hundreds of Counties Have 1.8 Million 'Ghost Voters' in the US?

A study published by the activist legal group Judicial Watch used two different types of data to make a comparison.

My 2c(trigger warning, not for the faint hearted). By the time this is all done and dusted through SC
PA won't go to anyone(too farked, only thing they can really do short of starting from scratch is to just write EVs off)
GA will either be red, or also not to anyone(whichever, it won't be blue)
NV red
Still not sure if anything is going to happen with MI(will probably stay blue) and AZ(probably red)

Assuming GA doesn't go to anyone, MI stays blue, and AZ goes red, final result will be around Biden 254 to Trump 248
Assuming GA doesn't go to anyone, MI stays blue, and AZ stays blue, final result will be around Biden 265 to Trump 237
Throwing GA red in either of these doesn't help red unless MI goes red too, I don't see that happening, more likely MI EVs will not be counted either rather than going red

Whichever way, it looks like no one will get 270, and ends in contingent vote

Was going to ask if you actually believe this stuff, and then I saw this post...

While you clowns are blindly following cnn and other hacks screeching no evidence and giggling at guiliani and celebrating a gop case getting tossed out of a court, guess who else is celebrating and giggling? Trump, thats who, every one that tosses something out brings him one step closer to SC where he needs them to be... and he doesn't need the EVs to win, he just needs biden to not get them

Oh shame.

Trump loses Georgia again.

Note: I haven't listened to the relevant podcast yet.

lol, what "serious incidences of electoral malpractice", exactly?

Has Murray now decided he's an expert in US electoral law and practice, too?

Pundit brain is a disease.

Don't believe it. Rudi had been losing so efficiently that they've fudged up the election heist timeline. They need this to slow things down a little

If anyone hasn't already read the last page of this thread, don't bother. It's nothing but TDS-gang being the geniuses they are.
