I don't get why the House is often so different to the White House.
One of the things in US politics I genuinely still can't understand.
Sara Gideon just conceded the Maine senate race to Susan Collins which is weird because there are still a ton of votes to count across Maine.
That means Peters in MI is our last hope to make the senate 50/50 and he's only up by...1,020 votes. Over 5,000,000 total so far and the difference is 1,020.

Packing and Cracking. Pack those likely to vote for your opponent into one large legislative district to reduce their power in others, or crack areas populated with those likely to vote for your opponent into multiple districts to reduce their overall power.Gerrymandering.

Edit: Earlier, CNN mentioned Maine's ranked choice voting method, and that is Susan Collins doesn't reach 50% total then it triggers the ranked choice thing and does...something. Gideon "conceded" the race with Collins at 49.8%. Anybody know what the heck is going on here? Also there are still tens of thousands of votes to count across the state.
Yeah it's going to take time because all these media outlets are reporting different percentages. After Collins gets 50% it's over basically, but if she doesn't get 50% then the ranked choice triggers and dumps the 3rd place person and potentially gives Gideon a huge boost. NYT still has Collins at 49.7% vote (which just went down .1) with 77% reporting. Not sure where all these other outlets like AP are getting their 51% numbers but a lot of outlets have latched onto that and are reporting it.Yeah, but Portland is basically done counting and that's where the bulk of Gideons supporters are.
I don't think we're going to know who won the race until tomorrow at the earliest.
Of course. Would be either way due to fraud claim.Biden wins Wisconsin by 21,000. Recount imminent.

I like how the Yellow Party won some of Oklahoma and a large swath of southern Canada.

Also received some votes from the ocean people. Good turnout
There's still a tiny Antrim county in MI which hasn't reported anything at all. Come on people it ain't that hard, there's like 20,000 people in the whole county. So that's one county which will benefit Trump, but Flint, Detroit, and Kalamazoo will all boost Biden's lead by several thousand while Grand Rapids's urban precincts are also tightening the gap and benefitting Biden. @Joey D What are you even doing out there in Utah anyway
Apparently, with Antrim it's skewed heavily Biden and that's really weird for Northern Michigan so they're investigating. The population of that county is really small though, so at most Trump would get 5,000 more votes.
Now that's interesting!Apparently, with Antrim it's skewed heavily Biden and that's really weird for Northern Michigan so they're investigating. The population of that county is really small though, so at most Trump would get 5,000 more votes.
Hell yeah brother! Let her know you'll support her if she opens her mindAs for what I'm doing in Utah? Even with the insane cost of living, I'm still making way more than I ever did back in Michigan. So I'm here because of money and the potential prospect of scoring an additional wife.

Well, that was predictable.
Also Trump: wants the votes in some states counted only if a Trump official is present. I wonder if they will pull the fire alarm to "accidentally" invalidate Biden votes due to a fire.Trump: "Millions and millions of people voted for us tonight. And a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people, and we won’t stand for it"
Also Trump: Sues to stop legal votes from being counted.
Does Trump even know what 'disenfranchise' means??
He is literally demanding that several million voters be disenfranchised, but seems to think the 'disenfranchise' means that votes don't count if the other side get more votes... erm, no. That's not disenfranchising... that's called democracy.
Trump was absolutely right on one thing - this morning was an "embarrassment" to the nation... just not in the way he believes it was.
Dicin' French Fries.oes Trump even know what 'disenfranchise' means??
He doesn't care what it means. All he has to do is make his supporters think it means what he wants them to think it means, and boom, the dictionary and all logic go out the window. I don't remember if I posted it earlier, but this is basically 1930s Germany right now and I figure y'all Yurapeeins know a lot more about society then than we do over here. I don't know about you but I'm spooked.Does Trump even know what 'disenfranchise' means??
