The Election Day Thread

This is why the fucker told his voters to not use mail-in voting. They planned this. With so many Dem voters using early voting and ensuring their mail-in ballots went out super early (and most importantly, tracking those ballots!), it backfired on him. Imagine if all those lost/stolen ballots were counted. The margin would be even larger and I wonder if any close loses for Biden-Harris would have been close wins. Infuriating!

What is also very frustrating about this that it effects a lot of down-ballot races, local rulings, etc. It's not just the presidency on the ballot, so people's votes in local issues won't get an accurate read, either.

DeJoy really needs to be tried and made public for these failures. His back-room dealings also need to be exposed. This is massive corruption, and literally the very definition of treason and sedition.

It will take something like that to remove him from office, for better or worse. They made a go of free elections over there but Putin wasn't having it.

BTW This is worthy of a new thread (here or in News) if you're up for it. I hate always being the only one to start them. :)
 
Wait. WTF?!!!

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating an alleged plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia on Thursday night.

Action News has learned that police got a tip about a group, possibly a family, driving up from Virginia in a Hummer to unleash an attack at the Convention Center where votes are being counted in Philadelphia.

Action News was there as a man was taken into custody. It's unclear how or if the man is connected with the investigation.

Police say they recovered a weapon and believe they recovered the Hummer they received a tip about.

No injuries have been reported.

The guy supposedly lives 6 miles from the studio. He's probably running.

Someone else said that even though PA is still counting new batches of votes, the guy who updates the website may have gone home for the night. Hmm.

Only reason I'm still up is that having had that unusual-for-me night time pour-over coffee awhile back, my brain thinks it must be around 7am by now so of course I'm up.

[ So I set about some chores and discovered by opening a box I meant just to unpack and put contents away in the back pantry that Amazon sent me the wrong kind of noodle bowls.. a rare goof on their part in my dealings with them... but I filed for a returnless refund and will do a re-order tomorrow... glad I don't have to bother returning the original delivery; that is a nice goodwill gesture on their part.]
 
This piece discusses the disparities in popular votes vs electoral college outcomes in assorted elections, and similar unrepresentative issues in the way Senate seats are distributed. It's not depressing news to me. It's an infuriating reminder that it's past time to reconsider a set of archaic modes of delegating governance to representatives we do get to choose but without sufficient respect to our equality before the law.

It looks likely that Mr. Biden will eke out an Electoral College win. But the narrowness of the result, in contrast to the fairly decisive preference of the American public, has intensified some Americans’ anger at a system in which a minority of people can often claim a majority of power.

Mr. Biden’s current vote margin is, in fact, larger than the populations of more than 20 states, and more than the population of Los Angeles.

A similar disparity exists in the Senate, where the current Democratic minority was elected with more votes than the Republican majority and where by 2040, based on population projections, about 70 percent of Americans will be represented by 30 percent of senators.

Ah, so Fox is back to its old deflections from impending bad news for Trump. Well they weren't actually quite discussing whether a horse is a zebra, but were chatting about crime and police reform... which for left-leaning voters per exit polls actually turned up about second from last as a national priority vs stuff like coronavirus and health care.

MSNBC is still live-covering the ongoing count in Philly overnight... Trump's lead down to around 18k now, with about 54k votes left just in Philly where Biden has consistently been getting about 90% of the votes in batches from there. So no surprise the Secret Service is said to be bumping up their protection of Biden, who'll probably be claiming victory in a speech tomorrow. Think the total outstanding votes is around 175k. Statewide Biden's getting about 75% of the mail-ins but as noted before he gets 90% or so in Phila.

Meanwhile: here it comes, the GOP's way around annoyance of PA going blue:

You can tell Graham hasn't lost his ability to generate legalese, a set of wordsmithing skills gained in service to the Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps (as both a defense lawyer and later a prosecutor) as he signs off these days on sleazy or downright unconstitutional solutions to large or small problems the GOP lackeys need to solve for Trump. He's better at using weasel words than just about any pol I ever heard talk. But what he was talking about there? It stinks.

Good morning!

Just checked the results and it seems nothing much has moved.

I'm running low on CBD oil and the shops are closed. Argh!

Edit: Arizona's result to be overturned? Bloody hell. :cautious:

I mean why have voting at all? Just a show of hands outside in the streets? And then the party with the most guns can pick the electors.

Oh screw the electors. The guys with the guns can just go and pick the President.

Wouldn't be the first time… eh Argentina, Chile, Zaire, Tajikistan, Uganda… what great company.
 
I am literally on the edge of my seat, though do I dare to hope?

Joe Biden is inching closer to victory in Georgia. The latest votes tally has both candidates tightly matched, but with Biden 1,097 ahead.

In other news…

'Fox News sucks!'

"“Fox, you can’t even trust them,” said Rob Phail, 51, from South Lyon, Michigan, who had been leading the “stop the count” chants. “They’re the worst chameleons of all. So you’re like, OK, who do you trust?”

Asked whom he would trust to confirm the actual results of the election, he said: “Trump.”

On Facebook, on a now-deleted group for Trump supporters that claimed Democrats were trying to steal the election, dozens of commenters described how “totally betrayed” they felt while watching Fox News on election night."
