    Hard to gauge. Could give GOP the edge feeling they were cheated, or depress them by feeling defeated.

    Not a major network or anything, but Decision Desk HQ called it literally one minute after Biden flipped the lead in PA.

    Funny, he was just banned from twitter and youtube for doing his own thing.

    That can't be right. Charlie Kirk's small face was telling me the other day that he had sources ALL OVER THE PLACE and they said Trump had this in the bag in all the remaining states.

    Charlie Kirk's small face would never lie to us.

    Biden's giving a speech tonight.

    Will the election be called during his speech?

    Not yet, no. These are the lawyers of his already existing criminal charges.

    I mean, he's trying to snap his tiny fingers and cause (more than) half of the ballots to disappear from the election, so it fits.

    You shouldn’t feel odd, the popular vote has never been the contest. These states still in contention have had every vote squeezed out of them in the campaign, and it is pretty close. The solid blue and solid red states on the map have never been targeted as such.

    Both? I'd say 10%. One of the two? Maybe 33%.

    Just a random guess, of course, and those races can certainly be swayed by events between now and January, so hopefully I'll change my mind for higher numbers later on.

    It's entirely odd, and any rationally thinking person should feel that it's entirely fucked up. The EC is based on land voting, pure and simple, just as the slave owners wanted it to be.

    He hasn't been listed online since 10/26. I wonder why...

    Petulant child:

    Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President. I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!
    No buddy, he won’t wrongfully claim it...

    So the Trump administration DID have links to China....

    Also.

    DNC needs to invest everything into Georgia.

    They need every civil rights hero, sports hero, and celebrity we can get on the ground registering voters for this run off.

    If we can win the Senate we can make Puerto Rico a state and END modern day Republicanism.

    It's horribly odd. You can't even count 2004 because Bush2 shouldn't have won 2000 if we're looking at the popular vote.
