Memphis & Nashville, nowt else really. Sorry, in my earlier post re: river adjacent counties going for Democrats I meant Tennessee, not Kentucky
For Dem voting counties along the Mississippi? Majority black populations - very fertile land, high slave numbers on plantations there, when the slaves were freed they couldn't afford to go anywhere so they stayed put

This guy is a great follow for the law suits.
As you will see from his latest Tweets, the Trrump legal action is not going very well in Detroit and another judge is now very very pissed off with the timewasting

I'd start getting concerned if Trump won the Georgia recount, 'cos that would add a lot of fucking fuel to the conspiracy fire. Until then, I'll watch on with bemusement. (Like most people, I guess.)

Trump won't win the recount, but they will make constant and attempts to disrupt it, with court petitions, protests, the behaviour of their observers and so on.
Trumpeting the election calls of organisations who also called Pennsylvania and the election for Biden is it?

Well yeah, it'd be concerning because if Trump wins that recount then they're blatantly fixing it

The confederate flag was part of their state flag until very recently. Earlier this year I think. It's not the most progessive state

The ironic thing about Alaska is that they have an average $2000 per person payout to everyone living in the state. You don't have to do anything for it but live there.
They just voted to change the flag a week ago... so they're marginally less embarrassing than before but not much
Edit: sorry, the state legislature voted to ditch the old one in the summer and the vote last week was to approve the new one

They were, although Georgia's (which used to incorporate the Battle Flag) is based on the Bars and Stars, which was the first Confederate flag. Not as controversial, though.
Plenty of states have references (or alleged references) to the Confederacy on their flags - Florida, Arkansas and Alabama for three. May be more. But only Georgia and Mississippi have had the battle flag on their official flag in recent times
Reading up on it, Georgia's awful flag was only adopted in 1956, before which the previous designs had also been based on the Stars & Bars. Mississippi had been proudly flying the battle flag since 1894, further cementing their status as Worst State in the Union
It's a fair point. Trying to look as cool as Mississippi is a mistake

These days they do the suppressing way before it gets to the stage of counting votes. Bit obvious otherwise.

Exasperated, not angry.
Gone down massively in recent years, hasn’t it? And it’s distribution has changed to be far more in favour of the federal government
AZ call possible tonight - Maricopa County has half the remaining ballots in the state and should be dropping most of them soon. Trump needs 60+% of them and it doesn't seem likely
AZ state law is (I think) an automatic recount if within 0.1% and candidates have no right to request one. So that could very well be curtains for Trump there
