Biden gets Michigan per CNN projection.

That puts Biden at 264 currently (depending on AZ)

edit: AZ could still very well be in play.

I hate it when EVERYONE gets a voice. So unfair.

EDIT: Michigan just went to Biden by 67,000.

I'm stunned at how radical Michiganders have become. When I was there, it seemed like such a chill populace. Is this because @Joey D left?
You're witnessing the power of irrational hypernationalism. If the closeness of MI doesn't get your attention, then how about the fact that the Senate might not even go 50-50, and Dems might lose their majority in the House?

TB
They do realize that Biden is already leading and has only been trending up lately, don't they? A bit late for that tactic. :lol:

Okay. Then Trump loses by 60,000 votes.



Now what?
Doesn't matter that he's winning. They're going to refuse to accept reality, they're going to parade around with guns, they're going to become angry and intimidate people to submitting, etc etc. All they've got are power moves...well I shouldn't say that's "all" they've got because honestly that's what they want and that's what they're good at using.

Trump happened. I mean, people were divided before, now he just turned that dial up to a 1000.
This. Nightmare. I had no idea all those history lessons would come to fruition this quickly. I knew it was real, I knew it could happen, but Jesus H Christ this is ridiculous. These people are no longer afraid to be reckless in public.

Then democracy works.
But it doesn't work. Biden is leading the popular vote by 3.2 million and California's vote is only 73% complete...Biden is going to get about 2.6 million more votes just in CA, extending his popular vote lead to about 4.5 million. He could easily have a 5 million popular vote lead by the time this is over with, and he'll have just barely scraped 270 electoral votes.

Edit: In fact, that 5 million votes will be the equivalent of an entire other state in between Alabama and South Carolina, or 9 more electoral votes, which in this election would mean all he needs is his comfortable margin in Arizona and it's over with.

Michigan just got called. Fox called Arizona, so that leaves Biden with 6 votes to go.
If Nevada goes blue, it's over. There will be recounts though.

If Trump demands recounts for Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan, Biden should demand recounts in Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. And demand his officials need to be in the room too.
 
I wonder if Twitter will no longer take Trumps crap after January.

Seeing as he wont be POTUS, no need to look the other way when account violations happen.
This is still optimistic, but it's worth noting that presidents do retain the title for life.

I think the extent to which they take his crap may change, but I'm okay with them not banning him entirely and instead putting all of his tweets behind a barrier indicating the contents as potentially misleading and requiring an additional click. Actually I think I'd prefer that, because he'd be sure to completely lose it.
 
If somehow Biden gets PA, don’t think recounts will even matter. If trump wins, we’ll have a headache for a while.

PA is now within 5% btw.

Trump is going to nuclear option. He's going to contest every state.

Or send his followers after the "Biden Crime Family"

5.1% on NYT. That's still important because Trump's lead keeps shrinking but the total vote % has only changed literally 1% in the past four hours.

I wish I could be so chill in that situation lmao. I honestly probably would've been very uncomfortable...my dad would've just popped him in the jaw. I didn't inherit that gene. Then again, that gene voted Republican for 63 years so whatever.

They haven’t counted much either though. The fast counters that were working last night took a day off.
 
:indiff:

That hurts. Through L.A. Woman, there are some very small margins between the albums. If I play the aforementioned 100 times, I likely will have played all that came before it at least 90 times.

Fair enough.

It seems that a large group of people yelling "Stop the count" have turned up at a counting centre in Detroit and tried to force their way in.

Oh look, The Soft Parade.

Well would you look at this.

https://whnt.com/news/alabama-approves-bid-to-cut-racist-phrases-from-constitution/

This was an amendment to delete racist language from the state constitution. It had failed TWICE since 2000. I was curious as to how this would come out. Kind of surprised to see that it passed. But we still couldn't save Sen. Doug Jones US Senate seat. One step forward, a million backwards.

It's also home to the World's Largest Constitution, so there's a lot of clean up. Any time a county wanted to do something different than the other 66 counties, it would have to go in the Alabama state constitution. As you can imagine, there's a lot of duplication and overlap. Cleaning it up is a start...especially for a state that prides itself on so-called "smaller government".

Doug Jones had to run on a platform showing how he's worked with the President and gotten bi-partisan support. But hey, an ex-Auburn football coach has more name recognition and sucks up to you-know-who, so that was that.

Someone had a great home-made campaign poster in my town for Doug...

Just reporting what I'm seeing on the NYT website... Georgia is still looking very much like a recount situation, it will be super close. Maybe as close as Wisconsin. Nevada is supposed to release more results later today.
