US Election Week Results 2020

[RS]

Trump is going to win, and he’s going to win in the most painful possible way.

He’ll get Florida, so by the end of the night (like many are expecting) he’ll be in the lead. He’ll steamroller on ahead, declare victory, and set about doing everything he can to block as many postal votes as possible.

Cue weeks of unrest, legal wrangling and hysteria, during which the courts will rightly decide not to intervene and let democracy take its course.

After all that, he will then STILL win fair and square (albeit narrowly), and will spend the next four years spinning those few weeks to claim that the Democrats tried to subvert the election and rob him of his win.

Fun times.

Ugh this is exactly how I’d imagine it’s going to be.

Christ - Jesse Jackson is a state on BBC Two. Did he have a stroke?

EDIT: Wikipedia says Parkinson’s

Hi hun!

 

[VoR]

Georgia is going to be the first real tell most likely, isn't it?

Another that Biden doesn't NEED, but it's one of his best chances.

 

[Soldi]

I just keep thinking of that video where he’s telling everyone that he’s doing well in Florida and Texas, whilst looking like he’s just seen his family get hit by a bus.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Biden getting Georgia would be a thrill.

 

[RS]

I honestly don’t think any of these southern states will go to Biden.

 

[VoR]

Wow at that suburban swing to Biden in that (admittedly random) Kentucky outlier.

HI

 

[Soldi]

I’ve mentioned it already but I’d really recommend the BBC website, they’re updating each county as it reports.

 

[Jark]

I don't see that @Pingu scenario happening at all. I'd be surprised if the results we have by morning don't at least indicate accurately which way this is going. I'd almost rather know tonight whichever way it goes

CNN are blowing up over the first 9,000 votes counted in Kentucky. I don't think I'll be watching for long if their coverage is that over the top.

I love how they can stretch out the results across an entire DAY. Anything for that commercial revenue. To be fair, all the news outlets are the same.

 

[VoR]

I love it when @Pingu talks politics.

An English language question: The silver fox CNN daddy that is analysing the votes; the way he is pronouncing some of the Ls; is it an accent or some sort of speech defect? It sounds more like an L/R combo.


I feel like I’ve heard many Americans (on youtube) talking like this lately.

Jake Tapper?

Hey, I’m just trying to expect the worst and hope for the best.

 

[RS]

Jake Tapper?

No, the one that was just talking about the votes in Kentucky and Indiana.

 

[Madison]

Christian Fraser’s suit doesn’t fit.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Getting excited now. Gutted that this could drag.

Mind you Rona will delay and possibly cause the result.

Anderson Cooper?

 

[Lucille]

Right I’m tuned into the BEEB.

 

[VoR]

Shit, seems those scary exit polls DID include early voters.

Joe Biden's at home watching the TV. Hope he has a cheeky bag stashed away if it all goes wrong.

 

[RS]

Anderson Cooper?

Nooo, the one who was talking in front of a map. Bigger, hunkier guy.

Are there different CNN broadcasts?

 

[win_the_game]

Why do all American news anchors SHOUT?

 

[RS]

Yup

 

[Madison]

This country really is ridiculous - Freeview has Russia Today and Al Jazeera but no other foreign news.

 

[RS]

ALL Americans shout.

KEEPIN' IT BRITISH

who is Katty Kay? she seems quite CHIRPY and GLAM

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I have CNN on the laptop and BBC on the TV. I need an extra screen.

 

[Soldi]

I know it’s early but I’m pissing at Biden leading in Kentucky.

Are you sure you're not watching Newsround?

 

[Frozen]

Kentucky

 

[VoR]

How the hell is Biden ahead in KENTUCKY?

You'll often see her on BBC News channel on weeknight evenings with Christian Fraser. She's known in America as well.

 

[win_the_game]

@RaspberrySwirl - his name is John King.

 

[dmlaw]

I've switched CNN off for now and I'm on the BBC. It was annoying me how they were acting like an essentially random selection of counted votes were in any way significant.

 

[Indie]

Looks like in 2016 Clinton took 2 counties in the whole of Kentucky. Biden currently on 3 (based on those numbers)
