The GTP Unofficial 2020 US Elections Thread

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Arizona may flip. Here is the trend for Maricopa alone:

Biden   Trump  Biden    Trump
25128   35911  0.411671  0.588329
31700   42276  0.428517  0.571483

So Trump is around that ratio needed to tie in that county. Mohave went around 80% for Trump, and seems to have some votes left to count. Yavapai also was more heavy for Trump, but most of the votes are counted. Pima had around equal gains in votes.

As I understand it, all recounts and lawsuits must be resolved before Dec 8th.

That's when the Electoral College meets and normally gives their vote based on state elections, but they have a second-and-final deadline of January 10th for voting. Then it goes to Congress, the Speaker, and then the second most senior Senator, but from what I gather (Radio 4) that post-Jan-10th process has never been used.

This is the mother of all races to the finish line.

Read somewhere that Clayton County is releasing results of around 300 at a time, 3500 left right now; I think 1200 is still the latest difference?

Saw the Penn. different is under 20K, over 200K votes left to count. 1 outlet said Trump went from 77K lead to the current lead in just a 100,000 votes counted. Conclusion is that Penn. is likely done for Trump.

 

[Rossell2]

Now about 800 vote difference in Georgia. Sheesh.

No wait about 650.

 

[eran0004]

Gap is now 665 votes in Georgia.

Edit: 463.

 

[Dotini]

IMO, any margin 0.5% is an automatic recount.

 

[Crash]

Biden just overtook Trump in Georgia.

 

[Rossell2]

Keep them coming.

 

[UKMikey]

The Biden went down to Georgia, he was looking for a state to steal*...

Unfortunately our Deliverance isn't yet ensured. Are there enough uncounted votes left in the Peach State to put him clear of the recount zone?

*(I mean "steal" as in last minute win, not fraud)

 

[Rossell2]

I think it will be a recount. Just gotta hope there's enough that a recount won't do much damage. But as more experienced people on here have mentioned it doesn't tend to change much.

 

[Touring Mars]

Biden just overtook Trump in Georgia.

STOP THE COUNT NOW!

 

[PeterJB]

I guess he hoped it would make his 3-day election go away...

 

[GTFan24]

Oh my goodness it happened again...

This is blasphemy...

Georgia blew ANOTHER big lead! First in sports and now the whole state!

Spoiler: Language warning but I had to say this

give that man a fap on the back.

 

[eran0004]

Biden is now 1096 votes ahead of Trump in Georgia.

Biden is now 1096 votes ahead of Trump in Georgia.

Aren't there still military overseas ballots (and a lot of them) to come in though?

I mean, assuming Trump wants them to be counted and all. I'm a little lost on what his position on counting postal ballots actually is...

John King has been an absolute beast these last 3 days. The man can look at whatever he wants after this.

He doesnt want postal votes counted as most are democratic votes.

Hence "Stop the counting"

Except for the Republican ones in Arizona, which he wants counted, hence "Count the votes". I wonder if he'd want the Georgia military overseas votes counted if they're tilted towards Republican.

 

[Grayfox]

Some of the comments of "Fraud" are based on so called deceased person voted by mail and that this is proof of voting fraud.

Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Sideshow bob rigged the mayoral election and made everyone vote republican, this included people that died and the pets that died.

Except for the Republican ones in Arizona, which he wants counted. I wonder if he'd want the Georgia military overseas votes counted if they're tilted towards Republican.

He will want Texas military postal votes counted.

Anything else is "Fraud"

Those many Covid deaths literally coming back to haunt him?

Did the dead people actually vote for Biden or were they just sent ballots in their name which would be rejected if submitted? An important distinction that Trump wants to obscure from the looks of things.

 

[Pigems]

How many people sent in a vote, and then passed away from COVID before it got counted I wonder? It’s a very real possibility.

Interesting scenario, I don't know how that would work. What would happen if you cast your vote on the day, then left the polling station and got hit by a bus?

That also has me thinking, if, hypothetically Trump were to ether die or be removed from office for whatever reason between now and January 20th, that would make Pence president by default, but would than then trigger a second election?

 

[McLaren]

It has been "any minute now" forever for PA. At 1 point, CNN said "any minute now to a couple hours". 💡

On my phone so I can't timestamp the exact point he covers that possibility.

 

[Whitestar]

Kinda reminds me of Family Guy.

Studio: We now go live to Ollie Williams. Ollie?
Ollie: STILL COUNTIN'
Studio: Thanks Ollie

If anything, that’d benefit Trump since they’re more COVID-friendly. But to be honest, I have no qualms with those votes being counted since they were alive when they cast their vote.

I think how those votes are handled vary from state to state though.
