US election 2020 thread

[keybored]

tbh the idea that anybody would vote purely on the issue of abortion, which is what a fair few evangelicals will do, is rather more extraordinary.

I dont think we will know for certain this week this month even!

 

[killer b]

Speak for yourself old timer

Doomscrolling is just as easy to do lying down as in any other position tbf

The BBC coverage is only just stopping short of laughing and mocking Trump's response now. I think he's fucked it.

yeah, we will.

 

[MrSki]

Will Trump give a speech like this?

It's gonna be annoying as fuck if Trump wins by 9 votes or something like that

Can't you request a recount if the results are too close to call?

 

[ska invita]

its' only 3pm there.
Maybe they mean 'today' as in this working day.

trumps lost, sleep tight

I think an editorial decision was made sometime yesterday (and not before time). I mentioned this myself yesterday,

yes if margin of victory is under 1% i think.

 

[cupid_stunt]

These undeclared states are just trolling us now, time for the pub.

Oh, hang on a minute.

 

[bimble]

she also said there was 500,000 votes left to count - it's not going to be before bed.

370,000 now.

Oh I didn't see that. Yeah the coverage is clearly critical/questioning of Trump's response in a different way to a few days ago. They suffix all Trump's statements with something like "...of which there's no evidence for."

 

[bimble]

oh god, i'm watching CNN, spokesperson for Georgia count is explaining about how some of the paper ballots from one place were on pieces of paper that were too small, so had to be reprinted the correct size, he looks so tired. He just said.. ten days?

 

[LDC]

I do think it's going to be a close result though, and I think given that they'll be a bunch of his supporters that refuse to recognize the result. How that then plays out in the weeks after will be, erm... interesting.

 

[Raheem]

Anyone able to confirm or deny that Fox have called the election now?

ETA their website doesn't seem to have, but what about TV?

everybody knows the jig is up. he looks ridiculous, and treating him as anything other than ridiculous would make them look ridiculous too.

Holy hell, they're just utter grifters, through and through.

As vote counts continue in key states, the Trump campaign has been running a fundraising campaign asking for donations in order to fund legal challenges.

Supporters have been inundated with pleas to "stop the left" from "stealing" the election.

Today alone, they've raised $8m (£6.1m) as part of an effort to help fund its election lawsuits, a finance chairman for the Trump Victory group told CBS.

 

[Tankus]

So bloody slow....the numbers have barely moved

....Trumps got some big bills due within the next two years ...hes got to grift when he can

 

[Lord Camomile]

Although... who doesn't clear that many messages from their notifications over 24 hours??

GOP will recognise the result. Trump will have to. He's gonna back right the fuck down as soon as he's lost lost, I reckon. He's got some epic presidential pardoning to get going with. Clock's ticking.

That said Trump is now fundraising for the legal battles. $8m raised today, apparently. A lot of lawyer hours. Going to court to order a completed count to stop ain't cheap.

 

[Edward Kelly]

'Well, you can be all la-di-dah and count the votes if you wish, but we think there are more American ways of doing it'.

Damn Democrats and all their "Big Government rules" .

 

[Raheem]

8m raised today, apparently. A lot of lawyer hours.

Or possibly just a lot of dollars.

 

[killer b]

Sound on for this one.

Yes but there will be millions and millions of people who truly believe that the election was stolen from them by fraud perpetrated by their enemies. Thats not good.

1000% match? From whom? Does that mean Trump's put in $80m himself?

 

[cupid_stunt]

And some mugs will fall for it.

Never stopped them before.
