US election 2020 thread


Guarantees 48 seats in the Senate. Remaining races are NC (probably a bit much to do), AK (loads of mail to count, won't declare until next week, Gross reckons he has a shot despite being miles behind atm) and of course, GA x2
 
Are there any prosecutions Trump has been dodging due to presidential immunity? Would be nice to have a tsunami of shit to go with being a rare one term loser.
On that, could he resign and get Pence to pardon him? Is that a thing?

I've heard there are and this is what he's shitting himself about above all. Tax got mentioned. I'm sure there's other stuff. Well I hope there is.
 
Note: All races with three or more candidates except the presidential race are subject to Georgia’s runoff rules. If no candidate wins 50 percent of the vote plus one, the top two vote-getters advance to a runoff on Dec. 1 for nonfederal races and on Jan. 5, 2021 for federal races
 
If it's the Graun just assume it's wrong imo
Yeah, it was the Guardian an hour or so ago. Presumably the recount threshold is triggered if the 'winner' is within half a percent of 50% rather than half a percent of the challenger?

That may make sense yeah

Wouldn't need Pence as Biden would do it anyway. Make out like its some big gesture of grand conciliation and for the good of the country. But really it'd be because he knows where the bodies are buried and will likely need pardoning when he himself leaves the white house. Beyond all the bluster they are both very similar dodgy corporate thieves.

Except Biden may well leave the WH in a coffin.
 
i just fell down a little rabbithole of Qanons on twitter and those are very unhappy people right now.
Looks like the real zealots with the high thousands of followers are saying Trust The Plan it's all unfolding as ordained, don't give up now when the President needs you most, but a whole load of their followers are like, no, fuck that, its over, I don't believe in the Plan anymore he is losing and i'm sad.

Yes, that is likely. They never came after Nixon - Ford pardoned him for everything he did while president, but not for the shit he got up to in order to become president. That was just kept quiet.

But there is loads of state-level stuff with Trump. It would be nice for New York if he ended up never daring to set foot in it again.

However, that said, if I were Biden, I'd want something in return. Nixon got his pardon as part of a deal for resigning. What's Trump got to offer?
