The GTP Unofficial 2020 US Elections Thread

[Rossell2]

Too close. All Biden needs is PA called and he's got it. Trump can make a comeback everywhere else if it played out that way.

My worry is them taking it to the supreme court and having it overturned.

This is how the map currently looks:

The nail in the coffin:

The votes being counted in Pennsylvania do not include any mail ballots arriving after Nov. 3. Those are being kept segregated. This count is for votes in by Election Day.

Fair point. I think AZ is still being seen as a strong lock. The remaining GA votes look split, & who knows what the hell is going on in Nevada. NC has taken the week off.

 

[TexRex]

Is it too early for this?

There's still at least a couple state recounts and surely some more lawsuits, plus entirely too many days between now and January 20th...but it's a good tune.

Looking forward to the John Lewis advert this year

 

[Rossell2]

If this is correct I'm going to jump around.

I meant to quote fd.

My wife and I were discussing the election last night and we think it would (kind of) be good if Trump cam from behind to win Arizona if for no other reason than to shut him up that all the late votes were for Biden. He talks out of both sides of his mouth constantly but you can't have it both ways - stop counting in Pennsylvania because we're going to lose it but keep counting in Arizona because we're catching up. It doesn't work that way.

Possibly, but maybe we can have this:


Edit - or this:

It's not not a worry for me if it comes to that, but I genuinely have faith in the Court to not buckle for him. The only one in whom I'm not super confident is ACB; she featured in a Trump campaign event for ****'s sake.

 

[Keef]

This feels like the Ohio State vs Clemson game last year, except Biden didn't run the wrong route on the last play.

 

[Joey D]

Oh we're posting songs? I think this sums up Biden's run today:

Out of the 9 justices, you have 3 who definitely won't side for Trump (unless he compiles actual evidence). All you need then is two of Gorsuch, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Barrett to dismiss the claim. Even if Trump threatens to fire any justice who rejects his claim, it would take 2/3rds of the Senate to actually follow through with that request. Even in the current climate, I doubt you will find more than a dozen or so senators (only one I can think off that may be stupid enough to do this is Graham) willing to touch that.

It's still 2020.

 

[Pigems]

Donald Trump, this ones just for you. 👍

 

[Blitz24]

All it will do is force a recount, which might see some change but not enough to overturn the overall results. To those uninitiated, if Biden was attempting voter fraud, then he did an extremely bad job of it as he only won the Presidency and didn't win majority back in the Senate (also didn't get rid of McConnell or Graham). It might be more likely that Trump was attempting fraud (duh) with his various schemes (that failed).

Meanwhile, Nevada probably will release the results in 2026 and Alaska's results have been eaten by a hungry polar bear.

Honestly...it's not a small part of me that wonders if he was aware of genuine voter fraud schemes and has been trying to divert attention the other direction.

Hm...I guess they changed trash day to Friday this week...

For me it's not a small part at all lol. The thing with trump is everything he rail's against, he tends to be doing himself.

 

[GBalao888]

It's over now. People are calling it early that Biden has won.

 

[TB]

It's over now. People are calling it early that Biden has won.

Personally, I'm nowhere near ready to do that yet.

A few of those chicks are still fully encased in their shell.

Exactly. While it's looking good for Biden, he (and I assume many official outlets) will not be calling the race until all votes have been tallied. The last thing they want to do is cause the unhinged soon-to-be-former President to become even more unhinged.

Arizona looks sus.

I'm sure it's fine, but did they count the mail-in ballots first?

I think I read that Steve Bannon called for Dorsey to be arrested because Twitter is getting involved in Trump's tweets.

Should have sent Balto.

 

[Rossell2]

Twitter have suspended bannons account.

He wanted horrible things to be done to Dr fauci and that Wray chap. I won't repeat it here.

The Supreme Court is very late in the process - it'd have to get through other courts, including at State level, much, much sooner. Which it won't.
