U.S. Presidential Election

[Guest]

Is it too early to start the party?

If polling hadn't been so shit this would have been a lot less stressful.

yes.

Think they must have started counting in Georgia again? Said 91% counted for ages but now saying 93%.

They said they had stopped counting overnight.

Ah right so must be day time there again (can't be arsed to check). So we could get Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia today but the rest might take longer?

Oh and Arizona?

I am just so unnerved by all of this positive feeling in the last few hours.

As I just said to a friend, it just feels like 2020 to kick us in the gut when it seems to be promising us a present.

I can't relax until it's over.

It's like the world's longest Windows update.

Pennsylvania could be Friday before the result is declared. Hopefully there’s enough for a Biden win from the states that will get the results in today. PA will just be the fat icing on the cake.

Fingers crossed!

I am 100% with you on that.  I can't and won't relax until the result is formally called.  I'm still reeling from the fact that Americans have voted for Trump in large numbers.  I really felt that the more reasonable midsection of the population had seen through his grift.

This gives me hope for Starmer in 2024.

Yeah this is the really sobering message isn't it? Really depressing.

This has been too much all day..! Fingers crossed for the next couple of hours delivering that extra bit of clarity on the situation..!!

I’m airing on the side of caution, but the thing is, this is exactly what people have been saying would happen for months/as soon as the increase in mail in voting was announced. Trump went so out of his way to discourage mail in voting that it’d be mega surprising if he gets a ton of votes from them being counted over the next few hours.

Im never gonna call it a lock, but it’s certainly looking good.

This is extraordinary.

I think Trump calling fraud whilst he was favourite for the election and in the lead tells us that he knew then his margins would crumble once the postal votes got counted. Obviously his team did the deep dive into the numbers and realised what counties/postal votes etc were left and did the maths realising he was likely to lose. If he genuinely thought it would be a close run thing once the postal votes etc were in then I think he'd have called the race and declared himself president.

This guy is actively avoiding prison by being president and it’s becoming increasingly clear he’s gonna try anything he can to keep it that way. Gonna be a rough ride but I really hope he’s shot down by his party if he’s announced as losing.

Knew it was coming though. 
 

No one was surprised about the postal vote. I’m hoping people check the facts and not his tweets.

I think this might be the best comment in the history of the Internet. Practically fell off my chair.
