US election 2020 thread

[moochedit]

Results expected Wednesday morning (USA time) apparently.

aka tomorrow

Then the court challenges begin.

 

[planetgeli]

I think the Democrats should fix this one.

Just to really fuck with Trump's head.

This is worrisome behaviour: GOP seizes control of Pa. Senate, refuses to seat Democratic member who won election

 

[Streathamite]

Republicans calling for congress to accept the result, stands to reason, as the strength of the republicans lies not in undermining the constitution but defending it to the max.

Representative Thomas Massie

Note; with ZERO proof of any 'significant abuses' due to mail-in ballots.
Let's have the courts chip in here. trump; 60 lawsuits filed, one win.
It's utter bullshit.

Stop the count...

 

[Streathamite]

Yep, that's about it.

Couple of things to give optimism: Georgia was the only state for which the polls predicted Trump to win (by a wafer-thin margin) that was actually won by Biden; also, the high early voting, especially among black people, indicates another strong Democrat turnout.

Also, the Dems hve a huge advantage amongst younger voters (i.e. <40). If they are energised enough to turn out, both Dems will win.

I don't think "y'all" is a word.

Well, it’s not a single word but it’s a proper thing, like you’re and they’re and can’t and your’n . Are they words? What do we call them?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all

And I see it being used a lot amongst internet people, you tubers, content makers or whatever they’re being called. Providers. Content providers,

Because I've got family in the South it’s been a word we use in the family - even the London branch - since I was a child. It’s quite odd to see it becoming more mainstream.

Trying to go to bed now but feeling antsy about this election.

Don't know 'bout y'all, but I'm sceptical that 'alot' is a word.

 

[belboid]

sadly, he seems to have jumped the gun as the reps are currently extending their leads (although the dems are still optimistic)

Not sure. They have a slight lead, but seemingly not one that extrapolates to a win. They are doing less well, at present, than Trump did against Biden, it is reported.

Fulton still to come in. Some 'respected' editor has just called it for Warnock. A bigger turnout in Fulton than in November.

As a rule of thumb, anything that someone doubts is a word, is a word.

Dems take Georgia.

Dems take Georgia.

But that's AP news. I want to see what newsmax says about it

Fraud allegations arriving in 3..2..1..

Fraud allegations arriving in 3..2..1..

They arrived hours ago, as soon as it became clear the Democrats were likely to win.

I was just making a rather weak pithy joke as it was being used in a plea to stop discussing whether something else was a word

But never mind all that now - this looks like exciting news to be waking up to from Georgia!

It's going to be a fun day for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tomorrow - he'll wake up to find out the party has lost its Senate majority, followed by 14 hours or however long dissenters stretch it out for in the session of Congress to certify Joe Biden's election win, followed by a ranting Trump calling him a traitor and a loser for failing to somehow overturn the election.

Obviously, he deserves it all, because he's Mitch McConnell.

Can warnock and ossoff get there in time?

 

[bimble]

Caring about US political things has been unrelenting misery from the day I started up until until this morning .

 

[a_chap]

You can just see the headlines, can't you.



It's obviously a fraudulent result - just look at how much red there is!

 

[Yossarian]

Can warnock and ossoff get there in time?

I don't think they'll be senators for a week or two yet, the results need to be certified and the Ossoff race might still finish close enough for Perdue to demand a recount, but it'd be funny if they turned up to point and laugh.
