There is half a billion dollars on it. I'm telling you, Betfair is an instant barometer on the election.

Holy shit that's crazy. I didn't realise that there was a time when Texas wasn't Republican.Wanna see strange? Look at 1976 Election, looks science fiction by today's normal
I agree - but mostly in the sense that he waited far too long, right? Once he got going, he got it fairly right (if I remember correctly), but at that point, the situation was already too far gone. That's fairly common though; I don't think there are a lot of places that took the right measures at the right time; and I would not think a Democratic president would have been perfect either. But just better could already save a lot of lives and suffering. (My post was anyway too simplistic, as it ignores the states-feds dynamic. But I think a more supportive federal government could have helped the states that did install strong measures.)
Thanks for the response - it's a good conversation. It's not the subject of the rest of the thread anymore though and I should get back to work (ahem), so I think I'll leave it at this. I will just add that I agree that comments on the tardiness of economic change/impact apply to every presidency; and that part of our different economic perspectives might have to do with that I would never vote for selfish reasons; I consider the bigger whole, even if that would negatively affect my own bottom line (which tax measures I would like to see here in Canada certainly would). But I know that's rare.
It is Arizona that will be releasing only at seven o’clock local time tonight. Astonishing.
Georgia Sec. of State says 61K left to be counted.
Trump lead is 19K. Therefore Biden needs to win 66% approx. of remaining count. It’ll end up close but should be possible given mail in?
I feel like it’ll be too close and then litigation will overturn it one way or another given the “Red”ness of local government there.

NATIONAL LEVEL
Another great point that would help determine specifics.
We are due something from Nevada soon aren’t we?
The current caps rage is lowkey terrifying. Does the president still have access to nuclear weapons?

Not nearly enough truly defectable citizens in that group though. No outreach will change that fact in two or four years’ time.
What happened in Florida was an organised party and government and family effort.
Bush's brother was the governor and his friend was the AG. They purged records of black voters before the election. The party funded and organised efforts to stop the count, with protests, riots, and court cases at various districts ready to go. And finally the Republican Supreme Court sided with them.
That first part (organisation from top to bottom) doesn't seem to have been there this time, and instead of doing it quietly, it's Trump sending tweets and state officals (so far) not responding.
STOP THE COUNT. VOTE!
A check into what? Can’t I just have a cheque?
And he has an apparent Henderson challenge.
Couple of hours. Ralston is being less sure than I'd like about it but still, Clark mail should be enough.
If he want's to go out with a bang just send in that spiritual advisor of his. Assuming he can still function (shudder) there is a 99% chance that's a thing.
Just fcuking count Pennsylvania and be done. Jesus.

Yes, he can nuke the counting centers.The current caps rage is lowkey terrifying. Does the president still have access to nuclear weapons?
Not likely.
Decent Decatur restaurant back in the day, Feast.
Do these states have one person each counting these votes? They’re so bloody slow.
And they had so many months to prepare. Really a shambles.
Couple of hours at most.
In Florida you only have to say Democrats = socialism/communism and the Cuban Americans will vote Republican.

Take your posh q and shove it.
Replacing minority voters with religious whites would definitely suit the party and the president-elect, and, if they had the power to will a coalition into existence, I don't think they can imagine a better one than they have now. The primary electorate would be more centrist, and, since these new voters have shown willingness to vote-split for the senate and house, it reduces the left presure on the president almost totally.
As long as Biden is Demba Ba we should be good
one of the most interesting things I've ever read
So, what's the lowdown. Is uncle Joe still winning? Or will AZ switch to red, GA stay red and in the end we're all fecked? Such conflicting info everywhere.
Cant they just fecking count alrdy.

i'm talking about 2000 and bush's "win" there
Have to side with my Commonwealth brothers on this one. Check is just stupid when describing a financial instrument.

Yes. It's Joe Biden.
Fair enough.
What the feck is going on with the replies?
What a ridiculous charade this whole thing has been
Republicans prescribed this process to Pennsylvania. Sure they had a hand in potentially changing one or more of the existing counting processes in these remaining states.
Show me the colour of your money, bitch.
