Not sure, what is the procedure and what absentee is, but it could happen if those ballots were from some large dem stronghold, and given that some of the counts favored even near 70% to 30%, i can imagine this to be possible. You can't really easily explain 100% to 0% split though of a similar amount of votes. I mean, not even a single vote for any other option? Even in DC it was around 90% but not a 100% Edited November 4, 2020 by Darkpriest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total number of registered voters: 3,129,000 Total number of votes cast: 3,239,920 Just saying, that there is probably going to be a lot of calls for recounts etc. If you add auch numbers at such odd ratios and with some data that can lead to confusion, this is just lifting a lid to pandors box, and you'd rather keep it closed.

Hurlshort Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Biden is going to end up with more popular votes than Obama received in 2008. That's a big surprise.

The point I'm trying to make is, that if you have changes with large statistical deviations from the average distribution, you better be very transparent and have solid proofs and audit trail or things will be contested hard.

This is why the AP doesn't call states until they are certain there aren't any viable paths for the other candidate. In other word, not an apples-to-apples comparison.

That's a big surprise. Trump has more popular votes than Obama received in 2012. Another surprise. People have been saying that there wasn't a "blue wave", but from what I can see and from what's likely to be the end total number of votes, there has actually been a huge one, larger than that of 2008. However, what's been unexpected is that there has also been a large red wave to counteract it as well (especially focused in key swing states). Not enough of one to win the presidency, but certainly to make it really freaking close in the electoral college. Wisconsin's Secretary of State has said they do not believe there are any more votes left to count. Even if there were errors (likely), past recounts have suggested that they'll likely change the results by maybe a few hundred, possibly as much as a thousand...not ten thousand-plus. Feeling pretty comfortable here in the presidential election. Still waiting on Maine and Georgia to truly call it for the Senate - I'd be very happy with a 50-50 split with a Democratic president. I do not want to have to see Mitch McConnell's despicable face for the next two years, and a 50-50 split would give them the ability to pass some of the most popular stuff, but not much more. ...But I think 49-51 looks more realistic at this point. Edited November 4, 2020 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

ComradeYellow Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Good grief and here I was anticipating a Trump re-election and then the left and disenfranchised voters could rally behind a 3rd party in 2024. Nope, things just aren't that simple, are they? This is going to be litigated for months with mass protests and all around ugliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineDan Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Even if Biden wins, I was wrong. I thought the polls were improved this time. The polling industry is a shambles. On the other hand, I said a while back I thought the Republicans would keep the senate, and the polls on the senate side were absolute rubbish. As bad as the state to state and even the national vote showed the failing of the polling institutions in calling the presidential race, the senate races were simply... there are no words. Lindsey Graham? I'm telling you, Democrats should be terrified of the results of this election, whether or not Biden wins. Theoretically, the Dems could still win the senate, but it turns out the pundits are wearing no clothes. The worst thing is that they threw everything at us this election and the best they'll likely get is the presidency with a Republican Senate and a House that has a smaller Democrat majority. ...And Republicans might put forth a good candidate next time and bring home some folks who hated Trump just because of how he tweets and talks. heh Children.

What is more odd is the sudden large batches of votes 100% towards Biden in the more contested areas like wisconain and michigan at around 4-5AM. This is hard to explain. Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes. And this is what will lead to contests etc. Arizona case with invalidation of votes, can be another case, etc. This election is emotionally loaded and is a mess largely due to the scope of the remote voting.

But for some reason those ~2 million absentee votes now come as surprise to people and republicans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
