US Election 2020

[dmlfarmer]

This close of an election is the worst possible outcome. I would have much rather seen a decisive win by either Biden or Trump than the ****show which will result now. No matter who wins once all the votes are counted the other side will be convinced the election was somehow fraudulent. It will further deepen the left/right divide. 4 more years of uncertainty is guaranteed. And a civil war will be a real possibility.

The close race doesn't indicate fraud on either side. The calling and counting shenanigans do that all by themselves.

States trump was up handily in, stopped counting for 4 or 5 hours, then delivered a truck load of found mail in ballets that tipped 94% in Bidens favour. Georgia has 99% of ballets in and still not called for Trump. PA found 2million ballets after the polls closed.

Time for scotus I guess because this is rigged.

The whole "America !" thread disappeared.

One of us pissed off somebody? All you FAKE news people!

What? Are we watching the same election? Better go check again

Checked it over and over even Fox News admits the mail ins which are several million. Votes favour Biden. Just because they aren’t all counted at same time don’t mean they aren’t worth the same. They really should in the future limit the mail in time as in you can mail in up to 3 days prior to election to ensure they are all there for the day.

Mail in ballots worked well in Saskatchewan and BC recently. No one here questions them.

Trump wants them not counted because they will favour Biden.

Trump will try to stop them from being counted in the supreme court if he can get away with it. He has been pushing the idea that mail in ballots are not reliable for months with no evidence.

If he is successful in the supreme court which is looking even more political and less independent now, it will make the good ole USA look more like a banana republic.

David Frum, Bush's former speech writer explains many Republican states effectively carve up the state electoral map in a way to make sure Republicans win at the state level even with a significantly lower popular vote. They then use their ill gained power to make sure its hard for many voters to register and vote. Its blatant voter suppression aimed at mostly democratic voters.

I was thinking about this in relation to Canada when BC and Saskatchewan were having elections. What is to stop me from mailing in a ballot and then voting in person as well. Would it be difficult to cross reference when I vote in person if I had already mailed in a ballot? If I was found to have voted twice would both votes be disallowed? When I vote at my local polling station it looks like all they do is cross my name off in a book. I doubt my mail in ballot goes to the same place, usually the local town hall is where I vote or the curling rink. Just early morning musings.

Hahaha ya you know after all those years I finally got the truth he did actually win it. The republicans used the court to delay the count and it was a technicality that Florida has a deadline for those ballets to be counted. Bush was actually illigitimate president. All those wars etc.
I thought all along it was just about the hanging chads it actually wasn’t it was about the delay

[furrowtickler]

When were the mail in votes done ? Were they all done pre Election Day ?
