I really just have a hard time with the whole Republican victim complex narrative that Skarpie is pushing. You've got control of the senate, you've gained house seats, and you won the election in 2016. The Republican party isn't some marginalized 3rd party. They get plenty of coverage. Are journalists typically going to lean towards liberalism? Absolutely! What kind of conservative goes to college to get a degree in journalism?

And what if unicorns are real?

You are really committed to this bit.

I believe the concerns over pre-processing were leaked results and arguments about it influencing election day. I can see that.

Banning a twitter account is the same as assassination and slavery?

How often do you have to take a test? I don't think I've had to do one in 20+ years in CA. Unless we count traffic school to clear a speeding ticket.

Because it's not the government. Duh.

No doubt! I figured Trump had his base and there was nothing he was going to do to upset that. My guess was that as long as Biden pulled Obama numbers and not Clinton numbers, he would win. Turned out I was wrong on both accounts. Trump has added nearly 8 million votes and Biden has added nearly 10. Honestly it is a huge victory for the democratic process, and once the dust settles I hope that is the main takeaway from this election year.

The massive turnout would be a red flag if it only benefited Biden, I suppose. But Trump is going to surpass 70 million votes, way over his 2016 numbers and probably the 2nd highest total in history. Maybe it was just an important election? Maybe it was easier to vote with all the drop boxes and clarifications of mail-in voting? Maybe people are just bored during a pandemic? Nah, it's probably fraud.

Pennsylvania is enough to win and that looks pretty safe at his point, but it is pretty shocking if Biden takes Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada as well. This may have been super close in a couple states, but that could be a pretty big electoral college victory.

Even without calling the EC votes, Biden has almost 4 million more popular votes than Trump. That is the will of the American people. Investigations will be done and there will be recounts, but until there is actually evidence of fraud, this is a Biden win.

Each state is required to have an odd number of citizens.

Another thought, does Biden even run for a 2nd term if he wins?

Georgia is the most exciting sports match of the year.

I guess we will get to answer Skarpie's question about which side is more dangerous if they lose.

Kamala Harris is great. But she posted a clip about equity so she.may be a communist.

What map are you looking at? Some of the states that rely heaviest on federal government monies are very red.

Day 3 and this thing is still pretty messy. These mail in ballots sure take a long time to count.

That is about a million times better than the generic confederate one they had before. Nice.

The only way you are going to avoid the current situation with the voting in the US is to standardize the system across the states and districts. This is a terrible idea though, because it opens up the election to WIDESPREAD fraud. Nothing that is happening right now is evidence of WIDESPREAD fraud. It is evidence of certain districts not running as smoothly as others. After a legitimate investigation is done (and not the twitter detective agency) it may even be evidence of localized fraud. That would be shocking, as the amount of moving parts needed to pull that off is staggering, but I suppose it is possible.

Nixon looked like the good guy when Al Gore did this, too.

Nevada is still being called for Biden because most of the votes left are Clarke County, and that is a democrat district.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1876_United_States_presidential_election Rutherford B. Hayes has something to say about that.

It's a good thing we have all of these twitter detectives to sniff out massive voter fraud conspiracies in this country. What would we do without them?
