That was like a small-town community theater production of Death of A Salesman where the director insists on casting his clinically depressed great-uncle as Willy Loman

[Uncle Rico]

70 million people thought that man fit to be the leader of the free world.  That is a sobering thought

[Billy Hoyle]

Holy unnatural carnal knowledge that was the whiny-est speech from an elected official, ever. Forget Presidents, I doubt there has ever been a person running for school board that was so pathetic.

unhinged does not start to describe it. My favorite was the line about poll watchers being made to stand so away they need binoculars to see what's going on. OMFG.

Georgia is 3,635 vote margin and here is what Biden needs to do to win Georgia:

Turned on Fox News just out of curiosity, they are putting football fields worth of distance between them and Trump real quick.

[Johnny B]

He acts utterly helpless. As if he isnt president and has no power what so ever. And yeah of course every damn key state that he lost or is close is obviously rigged. either he wins or its rigged. Zero other possibility.

Georgia is less than 4k vote margin and here is what Biden needs to do to win Georgia:

from CNN:

Georgia: The state is one Trump cannot afford to lose with its 16 electoral votes, Biden's mail-in ballot advantage has pulled him to less than 4,000 votes of the President, as results came in from Fulton County around Atlanta with 98% of the state vote count reported. There are approximately 18,936 ballots still outstanding across the state as of 7:15 p.m. ET, according to a statement by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Almost all of the outstanding ballots are absentee ballots, Raffensperger told CNN earlier today.

Trump was winning Forsyth County, GA by 34%. However, in that last batch Biden had 5% more mail in votes there than Trump. The discrepancy in mail in voters D vs R is huge, pretty much in many states.

More Forsyth coming but 5,700 or so Clayton, County and that could be 80 plus percent for Biden.

Part of this is because Trump told his voters NOT to vote by mail.

Also Harris and Laurens Counties are red and coming but small and again, if Biden keeps up his performance in these small red counties while crushing it in the blue ones, he will win Georgia.

And yet he can't fathom why mail-in ballots so heavily favor Biden.

Obviously, lots of long-time, "mainstream" pollsters had nowhere near the right formula in so many states. But before we crown Trafalgar as the geniuses of geniuses ...

They had Trump winning Georgia +4.

They had Trump winning Arizona +2.5 (and the other main right-leaning pollster, Rasmussen, had Trump winning AZ +4).

They had Trump winning in Michigan +2.5.

They had Trump winning Pennsylvania +2.

They had Trump winning Nevada narrowly.

They had Biden barely scraping by in Minnesota, where he won by 7.

And while I don't see a national poll for Trafalgar, Trump probably would have won the popular vote if he had won all the states Trafalgar said he would. Biden is going to win it pretty decisively.

So while a crap-ton of pollsters ended up embarrassing themselves by failing to account for the "quiet Trump voters" and other Trumpian stuff, Trafalgar seemingly didn't account enough for the "pandemic mail-in factor" or something.

[shoothoops]

Another thing is that if Pennsylvania would have counted its votes as they came in, it would not be this big of a deal. It would have been called for Biden long ago.

Biden is winning 76% of all Pennsylvania mail in ballots across all counties in Pennsylvania.

"Are you being a sore loser" at the end of the briefing was hilarious.  I just don't get MAGAs.  How anyone can support that guy...whoooeeee.

Lotta Republicans are getting ready to throw their hat into the ring.

They must be getting info it ain’t going well.

[wadesworld]

Are there still people that think Trump is the Republican’s man come 2024?

And it should be pointed out that she's no RINO (because that's now required any time a real Republican criticizes anything the emperor does).

She voted with Trump's position 97.8% of the time and was the second-most partisan Trump supporter versus her district's own voting patterns in the U.S. House. She supported a ban on abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger. While in the Virginia legislature, she voted in favor of HB 462, which required women to have transvaginal ultrasounds before receiving an abortion.

Georgia.

There are 3,900 Fulton County Provisional Ballots. 1,600 DeKalb County Provisional Ballots. These of course are huge Biden counties. Other counties amounts unknown.

There are 2,000 absentee votes with either missing or mismatched signatures that can be corrected by tomorrow's deadline.

There are just under 8,899 military and overseas ballots not yet returned. Tomorrow is the deadline for those.

Most provisional ballots will be counted without fixing, but, tomorrow is last chance last dance for that too if it is required.

I don't mean this in a snarky way at all, but it may just be that polling - especially in an era of cell phones, caller ID and mistrust - is really, really hard.

I think this is a big part of it. Also, a lot of traditional Trump voters aren't going to actually partake even if they do answer the phone.

How can Nevada operate all those casinos and be the slowest counters in the USA , esp. with only a million plus ballots. Did their counters simply clap out?

He's become Capt. Queeg, the ballots are his strawberries, and the Caine is sinking.

"Ah, but the strawberries. That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes. But I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward-room icebox did exist. And I'd have produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action."

Thank you.  Absurd.
