US Election Week Results 2020

[octophone]

Only 61k votes left to count in Georgia and Trump still leads by 18,000. Even though most of the remaining votes are in Democratic areas, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump holds the state by the skin of his teeth. I worry Arizona will go the same way.

I assume that, with such a close result, the Democrats would go tit-for-tat and request a recount.

 

[octophone]

If it's within 0.5% (right?) they can demand a recount. and if it's sub-1k gap they def should.

I read 1% but I'm happy to be corrected...

 

[Eddie]

Yes, Arizona looking iffy too.

 

[Indie]

Yes, Arizona looking iffy too.

Yup. Just narrowed by 10,000 votes.

How is this starting to get closer again?!?!?

 

[ButterTart]

The democrats themselves said this would happen earlier in the day. The next votes due to be announced were from republican areas, but the last ones due are from strong democrat areas so they’ll tip the balance back to Biden.

 

[big ron]

HOW EXCITING.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

HOW EXCITING.

It would be if they bothered to count at a reasonable pace.

 

[COB]

So Trump has asked to stop the count. Does anybody think that if they do that now, it would mean Biden wins?

PS fuck off x

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh so now even Arizona is going to be lost? FUCK OFF IM OUT

 

[ButterTart]

Oh so now even Arizona is going to be lost? FUCK OFF IM OUT

NO! I don’t know where this is coming from when literally nothing has changed there.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

NO! I don’t know where this is coming from when literally nothing has changed there.

Arizona will tighten, and is tightening just a touch more than may have been expected, but still isn't likely to go to Trump. But even if it does it isn't the end of the world

 

[Suomi]

I never realised how much I didn’t know about politics until I read the arguments in this thread - I can’t even follow the narrative

 

[Suomi]

but I know that I believe VoR is evil.

Sky News has Biden on 253 but The Mirror (I KNOW) says 264, what's that about

Bloomberg is the only place to say 264 right now and it’s been like that since last night.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Sky News has Biden on 253 but The Mirror (I KNOW) says 264, what's that about

Fox News and AP called Arizona. Everyone else isn't confident enough to do so

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Fox News do like to be first about things, but AP is apparently an odd one as they are often more conservative with their calls.

(I'm parroting 538 here, I don't know these things well enough myself)

Even if trump ends up carrying Pennsylvania, Georgia and NC?

 

[ButterTart]

Even if trump ends up carrying Pennsylvania, Georgia and NC?

If Arizona goes to Trump, as long as Biden gets Pennsylvania or Georgia and Nevada he wins. I think. Anyone with more than 36 hours of experience in American politics please feel free to correct.

 

[Suomi]

Well Penelope said this morning that Biden had already won Penelopsylvania

 

[GNL]

They need to hurry up counting, Biden doesn't have that much longer left.

 

[jivafox]

I’m not feeling hopeful anymore

 

[Dark Carnival]

I have a feeling PA, GA and NC are all going to Trump. Arizona is a must...

 

[Dark Carnival]

I’m not feeling hopeful anymore

Me neither really

 

[Suomi]

I’m not feeling hopeful anymore

This is why I’m so confused - people on here and twitter and said Biden has already won? Aren’t there too many things they could go wrong for Trump to win?

Correct!

"People on here"


PACK YER BAGS TRUMP, THE PEOPLE OF MOOPY HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!1

Breaking: Biden implicated in the Hindenberg disaster

 

[SDF]

Does ANYONE really know? It all hangs on those 200,000 ballots in Buttertarts boot

 

[VoR]

The breakdown of where the votes are coming from in Georgia is VERY promising...

 

[GNL]

More bad news:

 

[K.C.]

Election is a TIE (Moopy to decide)

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

The most secure (and easiest) route to win is just to take Pennsylvania, which some are predicting Biden to win by over 100,000 ballots once all counted - HOWEVER we won't have that result until tomorrow at earliest.

The quickest way to END ALL THIS will be if Nevada declares for Biden around 7pm*, if that flips to Trump (unlikely but possible) it's still not over.
Georgia is also likely to announce between 5 & 7, and is down to the wire but not impossible for Biden at all - most of the final votes to declare are from Dem heavy areas.

*The caveat of this, is Biden will need Arizona to be confirmed too. Arizona is unclear, but seemingly unlikely to flip red despite multiple SCARES over the past 24 hours.

Basically: PATIENCE is key right now!

More bad news:

Dammit, beaten! (I deleted mine)

 

[SDF]

Can you imagine if Moopy was the international jury with the final say?!

I wouldn’t trust the trolls on here tbh

 

[octophone]

Can you imagine if Moopy was the international jury with the final say?!

Judge: "Members of the jury. Do we have a verdict upon which all 12 of you are agreed?"

Moopy: "12? There's 12 of us?" "I counted 9" "I have 10" "Ive only got 8!"

Judge: "OK - who's got who on "Ignore"?

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

If Biden somehow ends up ENDING TRUMP, doing a last minute sweep of most of the states remaining, and SOMEHOW manages to wrestle control of the senate in January thanks to the two Georgia run offs...I'm not sure we can complain too much at all?

AT LEAST compared to what it looked like on the night (long term obviously is a COMPLETELY different story )

 

[SDF]

Oh WE'LL COMPLAIN

Don't you worry about that my love
