2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Don't forget how badly gerrymandered the House map is to the Republicans' advantage. 2020 census will allow a lot of those maps to be redrawn to be more favourable.

Or here in CA, more gerrymandered.

Don't you have a citizen committee to draw boundaries?

Actually I suspect anything fair at all looks gerrymandered to you.

[Cisairse]

No update from Georgia in the past hour.

I think we're expecting results very soon.

[Great Algerstonia]

Maybe time for a Speaker who isn't a member of the House. Absurd I know, but I've always wanted that loophole used!

I nominate myself for speaker!

I second the roller coaster man's nomination!

[Nakena]

One America News Network (OANN) is an up and coming channel to watch. It is growing and has lots of potential as a sequel for Roger Ailes' vision.

Every time I see that acronym I think it's clearly the channel for onanism.

Their female stuff looks all a little too good and happy.

You know like the ladies that cults sending to you to join their Church.

Pod people.

I'm more concerned about the possibility of appropriations being unable to pass, thus us looking at a possible permanent government shutdown

and that's probubly going to hurt Republicans badly. That would harm absolutely everyone.

I don't give a shit about politics, this will cause lots of people to die

Vote dumps 120 K votes entirely for former Vice President Joe Biden are impossible, not credible, assessed Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative

A Few Excerpts:
Marlow asked about reports of drastic spikes in vote counts for Joe Biden in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“If those reports are correct, I don’t understand it. The way you do counting is you simply count all of the ballots,” Von Spakovsky said. “You don’t divide. They’re not divided up between the candidates. So the [precinct] reporting that’s coming in ought to be reporting of the total vote count, regardless of who it’s for. So again, if it’s confirmed that there are these weird reports coming out of votes only for one candidate and not the other,
you’ve got to question, what exactly is going on?”

Andy Swan:
The only thing we did on Election Day was tell them how many votes they needed on Election Night.

GMS: It really does sound very strange? 120,000 straight Biden votes reported? Andy Swan telling them how many votes they needed? Needed for what and why? Who agrees? Who disagrees?

Enough with your disinformation, GMS.

[Kowani]

The Senate will be 49:48 at the start of the session

The Dems will only have a 2-seat majority in the House


Literally neither chamber of congress is going to be able to elect leadership positions

I want a 50-50 tie in the senate. Republicans would have to compromise to get anything done.

Or just obstruct everything and blame us

[Valrifell]

9PM, I believe, but I could be thinking of another state altogether.

I'm not seeing anything about the House anywhere. I still have 209-192 for the Democrats, I saw the tweet but they aren't saying where the other seats are.

Gwinnett and Clayton won’t release their votes until 11

The problem is your source being the Heritage Foundation.

That's also been debunked if I remember right.

No. You talk too much. The House wouldn't get anything done. I nominate Barack Obama!

[Valrifell]

I wonder which Mitch "Obama should literally never get to appoint a judge in his term" McConnell will pick.

That was debunked. They put an extra zero in on accident.

I disagree. I would like to nominate Jeb! for Speaker.

This one batch of votes in Philadelphia has been picked up by some people, including a commentator on Fox News, as possible evidence of fraud. It’s not. According to Edison Research, which aggregates vote data for ABC News and other networks (and is the source of the data in question), sometimes election officials and vote aggregators unintentionally enter vote updates one candidate at a time, rather than entering all candidates together. Other candidates’ votes are then included in a subsequent batch.

That appears to be what happened here, and in the next update from Philadelphia, Trump got about double the share of votes that he was getting in the other updates from there during that stretch of time.

It's entirely explainable.

[Heloin]

I nominate myself for speaker!

Your transport secretary.

With San already with a position again I will state I am willing and ready to make that sacrifice.

[Albrenia]

Yeah, Trumpists are just pulling out totally baseless junk to try to prove fraud. Even going so far as to burn sample ballots to make it look like Democrats were burning votes.

[San Lumen]

I nominate myself for speaker!

Your transport secretary.

Oh thats right.

[Cordel One]

I nominate myself for speaker!

I disagree. I would like to nominate Jeb! for Speaker.

I second this.

GMS will accept the results when Donald Trump accepts the results. You know that.

I second speaker Heloin.
