2020 Presidential Election -- Biden v Trump: Sleepy Joe vs Dopey Don [Results begin on page 409]

[gmr548 16587]

NFM other than I am a dumbass
 
 

I assume because they are using a data aggregator that is fucked up or something. 

They still have early votes to count. A couple media outlets have mentioned a server fuckup with a third party showing the 99 percent when it shouldn’t.

I have a couple of German friends.  They are in disbelief that a country as technologically advanced as the United States can't manage to hold a simple election. They're like "Dude ... WTF?"   What can I say?

Fixed it.   Biden needs 67% of the outstanding.   It's a tall order.   Looks like holding on in MI, WI, NV and AZ.   PA is a pipe dream.

Mail ins went to Biden by a 3-1 margin, that's why there's still hope.

If they are all mail in, I think 70% for Biden is a real possiblity.

Lesson from last night, minorities, especially Latinos don’t want the Dem party to shift further left.

Lesson learned is that minorities want to be pandered to just like whites

This is also confusing me. CNN is showing 86% of the vote is in. This website shows like 99.9% in with just a handful of precincts outstanding in bigger counties. How long does it take to report to these counts to the media? Why does the media not use SOS websites as sources?

I would guess that the networks are calling the precincts directly. Between the SOS and the networks, I would expect the networks to be more likely to adjust their "expected vote" percentages based on what they're hearing from the precincts (i.e., the SOS probably had an expected number from the beginning, and they might not be a quick to change it).

[Michael Knight 12989]

At this point its safe to say that Biden has legitimately won the election, however that does not rule out Trump illegitimately winning it

I’m proud to be an American today and I have not felt that in a LONG ass time.  
Im sure there were recent times I should have been proud, but this orange cloud hanging over us all didn’t allow me to feel even an ounce of pride.  

Trump didn’t allow [you] to feel even an ounce of pride? If that’s true, then you alone are responsible for giving Trump the power to be master of your feelings. Why would you willingly surrendered control of your feelings and emotions to any other person, much less to one that is unstable?

[Nice Guy Eddie 13515]

NYT saying there is maybe 300 WI votes remaining? If accurate, stick a fork in it.

Hasn’t Biden been doing about 70-72% on absentee voting?

Biden up by 48k in Michigan, we're getting there.

2/3 of absentee votes seems about right. Probably getting 4/5 in philly metro, close to 1/2 in other areas

It's also misleading.  478k ballots with a 2:1 Dem advantage makes people think that Dems have a 300k 160k advantage in ballots.  They have a 74k ballot advantage, assuming no party and minor split evenly.  Granted, he posted the party registrations, but the text is kind of bullshit. 

 

Nevermind.  I'm wrong.

[Zonahorn 8079]

And it meant nothing, because 75% of Arizona voted by mail.

[TXSG8R 3362]

Georgia SoS says there are about 200k ballots still not counted, from urban areas.  Should overcome the 87k margin Trump is sitting on.  

[Storm the Field 5297]

Biden up 48K in Michigan now, and James lead over Peters down to 7500. I think Joe will be able to drag him over the line and keep this election at least a +1 senate gain.

Can you clarify?  If the margin between D and R is 33%, then that's ~ 160K.

Going forward it’s going to be imperative for democrats to show up on Election Day though. Republicans are crushing across the board especially in rural areas. If you want to win in blowout fashion then you have to show up on Election Day.

The real problem with the tweet is that it isn't a 2:1 advantage. It is closer to 3:1 (assuming the actual counts are accurate in that tweet).

Biden has set the record for most votes ever by a presidential candidate.

That's not how it works here in AZ, AZ is a majority mail in state, it was 75% in 2018 as well.

Biden is going to win every state left on the map except for NC.

Disagree.  Its an easier way to get a vote suppressed if they know what day you're showing up and where.  The only thing that needs to change is when states start counting mail-in and absentee ballots.

Yes. Sorry. Tired math. Yes, the implication is there is a 160k dem advantage, but that implication is wrong because D+R does not equal 480k. 

 

-Shit.  Nevermind.  I just need to stop for a while.

Well, hopefully there isn't a pandemic on in Nov. 2024, but maybe there will be.

CNN shows those counties are huge for Biden so far, like 70%. Fingers crossed.

I'm using ABC's numbers;

 

PA - 80% of the voted counted.    Trump leads by a little under 475,000 votes.   There are 1.4 mm votes uncounted.    IF Biden gets 67% of those, he wins PA.   Anything less....  Trump gets it.

 

Edit. switch the names.   Biden needs 67% of the remaining votes outstanding to pull PA.

The split of the 478k is:

231k Dem

87k Rep

157k no party

so it’s not just Dem v. Rep, but without some other info about the non-parties, I’m not sure how he gets to only a 74k ballot advantage. Seems like it should be a 144k ballot advantage assuming non-parties are about even.
