The “fact” is Biden/Harris never showed any measurable support or a viable ground game. This is just indisputable. These mail in ballots have no authenticity or regulations. This is a total farce and eventually, Trump will be re-elected. Start the hate on me for being rational.😊
A few states are still counting. Biden is in good shape because basically all that's left at this point is mail-in ballots. But Trump could still win if everything aligns for him.
@revenant That's just batched updates. Something like 140k mail in ballots from Milwaukee dropped at once. You can see that there is a bump in the red line over that same time indicator too, just a much smaller one.
This is literally you just not reading the graph correctly.
Facts: Donald Trump is holding up the count by turning to the courts and forcing them to stop. The idea is if he can discredit the mail in ballots enough then he might stand a chance at winning.
Opinion: It's a weird tactic but I th ink his real strategy is to make enough people believe Biden is illegitimately president. That way he can say "it's not my fault I lost, the vote was rigged".
@Qwerty14 spot on, it's not overly bright as a set of tactics (as in, regardless of the outcome it winds up Trump's base and ultimately therefore amplifies the division this administration is intent on sowing) but 100% in keeping with everything we've seen in the last 5 years
The facts: A sitting president is stamping his feet like a spoiled child because he can’t bear to lose and he doesn’t understand that what presidents of civilised countries, and adults in general, do when they lose is gracefully accept defeat. My opinion: I think he’s a pathetic embarrassment to his country.
Votes are still being counted, primarily mail in ballots.
Last night, trump declared a premature victory and wanted all counting to be stopped. In several key states, the mail in ballots have placed Biden in the lead and now he can get to 270.
@Pikachu he's justifying it based on his idea that fraud is being committed. That these ballots are fake and that there's no possible way for biden to win even though these are perfectly legal ballots.
@Pikachu The problem is some states have laws or rules on the books stating they can't start the count till election day which might have been okay in the 13 colonies days but when you have 350 million people that is an issue.
It was reported by the Independent in the UK but the site seems to be glitching and the article no longer loads correctly on my end at least. Could be a traffic issue.
Voting, though done in the traditional methods, is at record levels this year. Additionally, covid has caused the use of many more mail-in ballots. Tallying votes doesn't happen in the blink of an eye.
But it's the United States, of course they are going to have a hysterical fan fare about something and completely ignore facts, that is the true American way
