Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[beanman12345]

To be clear guys, NV and GA have Biden in the lead but they aren't called yet (same applies to AZ according to some networks). PA and NC have Trump in the lead but are not called. If the current trends continue Biden will win, it is still possible that won't happen (which is why the race hasn't been called) but it is looking increasingly unlikely.

They're at like 99%, only a few thousand votes uncounted, honestly it'll probably be called when they're done at this rate.

yes yes count all votes. but where the votes are, it's inevitable. Biden won.

I'd cool it with that kind of talk before you jynx it and we find out that all the trump ballots were stuck together at the bottom of the pile. Definitely looking good rn though

Yes, no jinxes please lol.

I'm not saying it until the race is called by all the majors, personally.

Looking at Georgia, isn't the south supposed to be heavily republican and something is seriously wrong if a democrat is winning there? Or did that change sometime in the past.

[MCMLXXXII]

I hope but recount, military ballots then provisional ballots then it has to survive any prudent legal nonsense from Trump.

Not meaning to be cold water. But it we get the cushion in GA.

Then Time for celebration

Sorry to bug ya but any idea what the cushion is for Georgia?

What would you say is the cushion beyond contest?

My colleagues were looking weird at me when i cheered, haha.
TBH I have no idea what the cushion is. Everywhere I look it says 99% or >99% of votes are counted. Could be done any time now.

Stacy Abrams happened. She turned the state blue. not alone, but she'll be getting a lot of the credit.

georgia has one of the larger cities in the south (cities tend to be blue) as well as a large african american population.

Normally I’d agree but Biden’s win has to be beyond 1.5 I could be wrong otherwise it’s an automatic recount.

Then it could be contested easier because Trump is desperate.

We need a cushion if Biden can get the 1.5 point. Cushion Trump has no chance of getting Georgia.

And now for the inevitable Trump twitter whinefest.

Atlanta carried a lot of the state's blue votes by the looks of it.

[Puzzony]

~1000 votes are the margin of error normally. If the difference is bigger than that (it will be much bigger), then any court will tell Cheeto Man to fuck off with the recounting request.

[szechuan]

Hypocritical Republicans
Their going to recount Georgia but they couldn't with Gore.

Stacey Abrams (the Democrat) won the military vote handily in 2018. I'm not worried about the military vote.

Provisional votes are another thing - but the only story I heard of provisional votes in Georgia were in Atlanta. Which should skew Biden.

Ok gotcha thanks for hanging in here.

As an aside, the CNN crew at 5 AM EST are pretty loosey goosey, Chris Cuomo is trying to keep a reign on them pretty hard, lol. Definitely the wonky guys not used to being on TV.

Don’t military skew towards Trump. Most I’m understanding is Biden might have a less than 10,000 vote cushion.

i don't understand what you are asking with regard to the cushion?

Lmfao. Lol we know damn well why he and a few others are happy. I don’t think most blame them. I appreciate them trying to be impartial.

But shit I’ll admit I’m almost never this emotional. Wife friends I’m seeing people shaking and cautious.

The skewed towards Abrams in 2018.

Well when the counts are done before provisional ballots and Military is 10,000 points enough to survive.

And any possible recount or lawsuits.
