2020 US General Election Thread XII: The End

[Albrenia]

In Georgia, where Trump’s lead over Biden has shrunk to 3,486, only 18,936 ballots remain uncounted, according to Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state.

If my noggin mafs do be right, and trends continue as-is that should mean Biden wins it by 1k-2k votes.

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Nah that’s my job. Oh wait nevermind I’m SECDEF

Yeah your SECDEF, Lumen is Transport, anyone want Homeland Security?

Only if I can be in control as it is disbanded. After that I'd like Agriculture, so I can repatriate the Banana industry!

That approach will only cause the Democrats to lose voters. More moderates would switch to Republican or Independent, or any other third party. And any immigrants coming from socialist countries such as cuba and venezuela would never support any Democrat as they see America becoming the very place they flee. Meanwhile all the progressives are already in democrat party, so there's nothing to gain on that end.

Again, though: the vast majority of Americans support "socialist" policies like Medicare-for-All. This week alone, almost two thirds of Floridians voted to increase the minimum wage while at the same time a slim majority of them voted for Trump. If you cut through all the partisan bullshit, all the many layers of discourse, propaganda and ideology, Americans as a whole are fairly progressive when it comes to policy.

I suppose that is fair. Apologies, I am relatively uninformed on American support on government intervention in businesses.

Biden is down by just .9% in PA and .1% in GA!

These percentages aren't really helpful.

Georgia: 2,446,850 - 2,443,364 = 3486

which should mean that Biden's trailing in Pennsylvania by 3486*9 = 31,374, right? Well, no, because the percentages aren't standardised to the same base (e.g. 1000). Instead, PA looks like:

3,270,295 - 3,217,079 = 53,216

And even these figures aren't that useful without a comparison to how many votes there are expected to be left to count.

Quoting the percentages makes PA look closer than it is and doesn't say anything at all about how likely GA is likely to change.

[Shrillland]

Nah that’s my job. Oh wait nevermind I’m SECDEF

Yeah your SECDEF, Lumen is Transport, anyone want Homeland Security?

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

[San Lumen]

Yeah your SECDEF, Lumen is Transport, anyone want Homeland Security?

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

This is going to be fantastic cabinet

[Dresderstan]

Yeah your SECDEF, Lumen is Transport, anyone want Homeland Security?

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

I was hoping you would.

[Nagakawa]

Yeah your SECDEF, Lumen is Transport, anyone want Homeland Security?

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

I'd like to be in charge of HUD so I can embezzle federal funds to pimp up my office. Trust me, I'm a neurosurgeon, so I know what I'm doing.

[The Commonwealth of Tennessee]

Trump may be flipping Arizona. It's going to be extremely close.

>Insert Ron Paul meme here

[Albrenia]

I'll take Funny Walks if nobody else wants it.

[Cedoria]

In other news, Australian Pundits who were gloating about how gloriously Trump had won re-election and how this totally proved the left is done for are now having to eat humble pie, to the extent they're capable of it.

Oh yes about that

[Shrillland]

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

Good, that puts me in charge of Social Security and increasing union presence.

In Georgia, where Trump’s lead over Biden has shrunk to 3,486, only 18,936 ballots remain uncounted, according to Jordan Fuchs, the deputy secretary of state.

That's probubly not going to be enough to flip the state.

Clayton county still has 6% of the vote to count. Biden leads 85% to 14%.

There’s enough to flip but it’s going to be close

[RiderSyl]

I expected a PA flip, but not a Georgia flip. I thought that Brian Kemp's shenanigans would hurt Biden too much. Happy to be wrong about that.

Too close to call for my tastes. Anything can happen here.

[Myrth]

Yes and people are forgetting this.

The US the census for deciding the electoral votes of the states and other issues legislations are affected by the census, needs to counts legal immigrants, not illegal immigrant persons, who agrees and who disagrees? GMS.

Your precious constitution requires a counting of "all persons" - note persons, not citizens.

[Nejii]

I’m just tired of a totally Democratic electoral system... Can we go back and try constitutional monarchies again? Not like today but the 18th century ones. Or absolute monarchies.

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?

The Heritage Foundation is not credible enough to report that the sky is blue, let alone report on electoral fraud allegations with any seriousness.

It is not credible enough to you and those who strongly agree with you, for those obvious reasons. Not to me and us who strongly agree with me. GMS.

[Dresderstan]

I was hoping you would.

Good, that puts me in charge of Social Security and increasing union presence.

It was either you or WRA, hmm wonder what he could do, same with Zurk.

[Eukaryotic Cells]

Trump may be flipping Arizona. It's going to be extremely close.

On what basis?

Pima County didn't vote by a margin that preludes him from taking the state. It's coming down to Maricopa.

[Valrifell]

I'll take Labor if you're asking.

I'd like to be in charge of HUD so I can embezzle federal funds to pimp up my office. Trust me, I'm a neurosurgeon, so I know what I'm doing.

How the fuck did I forget that Ben "the grain is stored in the pyramid" Carson is in the Trump administration?

[Jedi Council]

When's the next dump of Georgia results expected?

You can take HUDSEC

Can we make a NSG executive branch?
