The USA: Trump-Biden Transition - attempted coup + Trump IMPEACHED (AGAIN!)

[COB]

In mlk’s version, it was an 8 year old. In her rip-off, she was young enough to be in a stroller!

It reminds me of my nana, who used to claim that my auntie would go down the street and buy bread and milk from the local shop when she was EIGHTEEN MONTHS OLD

 

[RJN]

Everyone’s favorite Republican, the Georgia Secretary of State, announced there has been low turnout today, and there was high turnout for early voting, so some good news so far

 

[COB]

God they're DERANGED:

Also Iran has issued an Interpol arrest warrant for Trump

Also Iran has issued an Interpol arrest warrant for Trump

Hope they get him!

Can Iran extradite from Scotland? Asking for a friend.

God they're DERANGED:

I do hope karma is real

Also it's SUPERspreader, not mass spreader - can't even get THAT right

I used to ask for George Michael singles as a child also.

Underrated post.

I know a superspreader myself.

An exit poll question asked “Was the Georgian presidential election count conducted fairly?”

Black voters - 88% Yes
White voters - 40% Yes

 

[Soldi]

I can’t tell if that’s good or not

 

[RJN]

That’s great!!! I mean it’s horrible that anyone thinks that, but we only need 30% of the white vote to vote Democrat to win

also who knows what the fuck is going on with exit polls during a pandemic and with so much mail in voting

 

[Soldi]

 

[RJN]

Trying not to get my hopes up YET but looking good so far!

The NEEDLE

 

[Lucille]

omg

Apparently the democrats are outperforming the presidential vote in the Atlanta suburbs by 5 points.

 

[VoR]

I know it's not indicative of anything but MY NERVES at the current margins!

 

[RJN]

Apparently the democrats are outperforming the presidential vote in the Atlanta suburbs by 5 points.

The swings in these suburbs are amazing to see. Johns Creek, where I grew up, is shifting more and more blue every race. I hope this is a continuation of that

 

[VoR]

Warnock back ahead

 

[VoR]

 

[RJN]

Ossoff is close, and there are a lot of votes left in Fulton/Dekalb/Cobb

 

[RJN]

Still waiting for some network confirmation, but YAY!!!

 

[RJN]

"Gabriel Sterling, a Georgia elections official, said that the largest tranche of remaining uncounted votes is from DeKalb County, a heavily Democratic suburban Atlanta area."

 

[VoR]

 

[RJN]

Is that the official Economist projection?

 

[Lucille]

 

[RJN]

Not to be a downer, but neither race has been called... The bulk of the remaining Dekalb vote is supposedly incoming and the NYT needle are giving Warnock and Ossoff 92% and 78% chances of winning currently

 

[RJN]

Pretty much everyone I know (in real life) is watching CNN and freaking out that the Republicans are going to win

 

[Lucille]

Oh I know it’s not been called yet but it’s LOOKING VERY GOOD.

 

[RJN]

True! I've just been let down by Georgia TOO MANY TIMES to feel confident, even though I should be

 

[RJN]

!!!

 

[RJN]

 

[RJN]

Warnock is now ahead! And Ossoff will be soon (hopefully)

 

[VoR]

BOOM!

 

[RJN]

I'm SO excited and proud of Georgia.

I still want some official calls in the morning

 

[RS]

OMG it looks like they’ve actually made it.


Edit: oh wait, apparently only one of the two seats so far?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh wow I didn’t expect this! Well at least not an election night not ending up being a complete nightmare for once
