Will someone explain to me (like I'm stupid) what a runoff is?
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
I thought it was a Democrat cry until I realised I'd misread it....Definitely feels like ‘STOP THE COUNT!’ is going to become an all time classic.

No chance. In 4 years from now he'll be even more of a demented, incoherent shambles than he is now - that's if he lives that long. And there's all the court cases to come against him and his businesses.People getting their hopes up that President Fart will in prison in four years time, I’m pretty sure if he runs again in 2024 he’ll win. Would’ve won this time if not for COVID, now the GOP have four years of blaming everything bad on the dems as well. I think he’ll be very tempted.
that’s doable based on the postal vote percentages so farCNN making optimistic noises about Biden's chances in Georgia, but it's going to be close. He needs 63% - to 65% of the remaining uncounted votes to win.
I think its another election from scratch.Will someone explain to me (like I'm stupid) what a runoff is?
A state sets its rules for winning the seat at a certain threshold to be called the winner outright. So in GA for example its 50% in the Purdue Ossoff race. One has to get over 50% to win the seat outright and avoid a runoff. If one doesnt get the 50 % there will be a seperate election date scheduled where voters come vote again specifically for that.Will someone explain to me (like I'm stupid) what a runoff is?
Basically, but between only those two candidates. I may be mistaken but there were likely some other candidates in that race that meant no clear winner could be declared, so they reduce it to the top two and try again.I think its another election from scratch.

Thanks! Sounds awful.A state sets its rules for winning the seat at a certain threshold to be called the winner outright. So in GA for example its 50% in the Purdue Ossoff race.

Those usually have lower turnout because they arent tied to the larger General election or Midterm.
They should have counted the votes by now.What's the rush? The only thing that counts is that the votes are counted accurately and transparently.
When no candidate wins 50%+ of the votes, the two top placed candidates face off against each other in another election. Seems to be rare in the US, though.Will someone explain to me (like I'm stupid) what a runoff is?
Lost. Latinos made the difference.Whats been the talk on AZ?
BalanceRick Santorum is a grown-ass wad of frothy discharge sitting there in a suit and fecking Converse sneakers. Why do CNN think he's still relevant?

He'll be 80 so surely not.No chance. In 4 years from now he'll be even more of a demented, incoherent shambles than he is now - that's if he lives that long. And there's all the court cases to come against him and his businesses.
Who lost it?Lost. Latinos made the difference.
Reported for attempting to kill me and yes I see your white text now and I still hate you.

I was worried it'd be too obvious!Shakes fist
No, converse.New Balance
Relax, there is no news out of AZ.Who lost it?
Maybe, and perhaps the last few years of both British and American politics have left me overly pessimistic.No chance.

Sorry, should have used white text. I was just picking up a joke from the previous page. AZ Alkmaar lost in the EL.Who lost it?
Has there been any updates at all or just nothing to substantial enough?Relax, there is no news out of AZ.
Always get him confused with Nick Santora.Rick Santorum is a grown-ass wad of frothy discharge sitting there in a suit and fecking Converse sneakers. Why do CNN think he's still relevant?
Honestly I d rather have him there than still active in politics.Rick Santorum is a grown-ass wad of frothy discharge sitting there in a suit and fecking Converse sneakers. Why do CNN think he's still relevant?
Definitely. Policy wise he's an unbelievable nutter.Honestly I d rather have him there than still active in politics.
I don’t think there had been anything substantial.Has there been any updates at all or just nothing to substantial enough?
Biden camp said earlier they think their lead will be cut in the next batch of votes counted in AZ I think because it's from rural areas.Has there been any updates at all or just nothing to substantial enough?
Git!!Sorry, should have used white text. I was just picking up a joke from the previous page. AZ Alkmaar lost in the EL.
and this is what i meant yesterday when i said that the only sad thing that Trump loses is that Biden winsToo bad McTurtle has validated a president having never ending Acting Cabinet heads
Modern life is shit so I fully expect Trump to live for at least another 30 years
