The Election Day Thread

My favorite phrase as I watch people lose their mind making up conspiracies and rushing where votes are counted.

One report per day, there must be a reason for that.

Whatever, I'm fine with however they work it. Each state has its rules and the phases of their vote processing fit together accordingly. Some count early ballots and mail-ins early. Others prefer to count them after in person voting concludes: they'd rather reconcile provisional ballots and affadavits from the actual polling places to any records of absentee ballots back in the counting house.

What gets me is all these Republicans in Washington DC who are so hot for states' rights when they don't like (or fear passage of) some federal law... until it turns out what some state is doing is inconvenient for them politically speaking, and then they start whining about people cheating... possibly meaning they're upset about how hard it actually is to cheat with everything so decentralized and watched over by so many observers of both parties.

That presser by Trump was just sad. I know he's going to spout all of his conspiracies but he looks defeated. Look for him to completely scorch the earth on his way out.

MSNBC also cut away the instant he started talking about illegal votes. They stated they could not allow the lying.
 
It is now 49.4 and 49.4 in Georgia. 99% counted. Still some votes to be counted.
 
I want this picture framed and hung in the WH from now on.

That's NOT the look of a guy who's got it together.

Trump’s desperate White House rant was everything people feared about his presidency in a nutshell

There’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Trump is lying.

If anyone was hoping that President Donald Trump would gracefully acknowledge the increasingly likely chance that he will lose the presidency to Joe Biden, the dishonest press event he held Thursday evening at the White House indicated he still has little respect for democracy.

With Biden now in striking distance of the 270 electoral votes he needs to become president-elect — as this is written, he is narrowly trailing Trump in 20-electoral vote Pennsylvania, with a large number of votes in heavily Democratic areas still to be counted — the president stood behind the White House podium and tossed out baseless accusations that he was the victim of election fraud.

Trump began with a whopper, saying, “If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.” In fact, even the Trump campaign has failed to provide evidence that fraud played any role in Trump seemingly coming up short in key states like Arizona and Nevada.

Trump then tried another argument, claiming that the media conspired to interfere in the election against him, “getting it knowingly wrong” by inflating Biden’s popularity in an attempt to demoralize Trump supporters. He contradicted himself by framing efforts to count all the votes in places like Michigan and Wisconsin as part of a plot to steal the election from him, while in the next breath insisting that all the votes in Arizona must be counted so he can continue closing the gap in a state that Fox News has already called for Biden (though Vox’s partner Decision Desk has not yet).

One of my co workers might be one of those “shy” Trump supporters that people are talking about. The last several months he has come into my office and he would make comments about Trump being stupid and making stupid decisions. In a way that sounded like he was annoyed with him. I don’t talk politics at work so I just laugh it off and change the subject. But he made it seem like he wasn’t happy with Trump and wouldn’t vote for him even though I never asked who he was voting for.

But today his tone is totally different. He made several comments about Biden cheating and not letting poll watchers in. And some other Facebook conspiracies. It’s like he did a total 180 which makes me believe that even after all that trash talking about Trump he still voted for him.
