Without a doubt, but he won't have the mental sharpness of yesteryear, nor can he put in the hours or work at the intensity he once did.
Undoubtedly he's not the man he was even 8 years ago. The good thing is that there is no exact template of how one should organize the job of President. So younger guys like Obama and Clinton read voraciously and were generally plugged in to everything going on. But nowhere does it say how many meetings the President must take a day, and what he must decide vs delegate. Obviously the President carries a weight that not even the most empowered cabinet member can replicate. But there is plenty of room for Biden to share more of the sheer burden of the work with Harris and others, if he so desires.

Great minds think alike

Seems a little unlikely that votes received after election day would cause that much of a swing. 7,788 military votes in Pennsylvania in total in 2016, 5,203 in Georgia, 2,677 in Nevada. In North Carolina there were 6,317 in total last time, by election day there were 9,749 this time. Given how many states require them to have it in by election day anyway, and the regimented nature of the military, it's hard to imagine there being significantly more flowing in for days after. So maybe 50% more votes than last time in total, and if we guessed that 10% of the total came after election day, then you're talking about > 1,000 in Georgia. There's more overseas absentee ballots but no reason to assume they'll fall Trump's direction.

We know 8,900 military and overseas absentee ballots haven't been returned in Georgia so far, but how many were sent out in the first place, or what % are typically taken up? Based on last year's numbers you'd assume it's quite a big number.

GA looks to be doing a recount once they're finished their 1st count.
Q: will that prevent the state from being 'called' (the EC votes assigned to biden or trump)?
EC votes aren't given until it's called. So it will only be given after the recount.

We're all just waiting on PA to be called.

My other take is that the Trump legal team has actual evidence of voter fraud (hint: it's from the Trump supporters he encouraged to vote as many times as they can) and they'll try to argue that fraudulent votes (in his favour) should nullify the election result.

Had a test at school today, got asked which media channels I prefer to follow to keep up to date with the elections, named a local news site, CNN and RedCafe. This is an amazing thread really, prefer it to CNN :lol:

It’s true though that both sides think the bbc is either right wing or left wing. I hear it allllll the time, it’s really quite funny!
Lots of Trumpers think the election was rigged. Doesn't make that true either.

'Both sides think the opposite so the middle is true' is a dumb as feck argument.

If that's the case, I'd expect any competent lawyer to disprove that nonsense easily.

I'll wager Project Veritas has been working on this the past six months, just in case.

I hope the military gives him the final nail in the coffin. He has been way too disrespectful towards McCain.
