U.S. Presidential Election

[Matt42]

There is a video going round on social media of a woman transcribing damaged ballots, and the usual QAnon lot think this is evidence of falsified ballots.

The nutters in my fam won’t even look at the evidence that debunks it. Just goes to show how trumps nut lot adopt the same tactic as him. Make a claim without evidence, then try and find evidence afterwards.

There’s also a guy who threw an unneeded piece of paper away while counting. He’s been doxxed and has been forced to go into hiding. 
 

Nevada update around 5pm our time too. We’ll know a lot more in 90 minutes. 

[Matt42]

Also there are videos people are uploading of dumpsters filled with supposed ballots.

What do you think happens to ballots when they’ve been scanned and used? What do you do with your birthday cards after your birthday?

I can’t with these people. No critical thinking skills at all

So we now wait for someone to call it ? Any of the major outlets ? for it to become official and Biden to become president elect .... it doesn’t even have to be a mathematical impossibility based on remaining votes .... it just has to be very extremely u likely based on patterns of where the remaining uncounted ballots are ?

Stupid question here alert 🚨 but don’t they keep them for a while ?  , to prevent questions ... or for any recount purposes ?

Based on analysis of the outstanding vote, which is mainly coming from Democratic states like California, Biden is on course for a popular vote lead of MORE than 6 million votes. It seems like this election wasn’t really close especially as Biden leads 6 of the 8 key swing states. 

Wouldve been a blowout if the post office wasnt sabotaged 4 months ago. And if Florida didnt impose a poll tax.

They have a record of them by the time they throw them out and each vote has been assigned to a citizen of the United States

Ah ok was just thinking a physical ballot paper would be the most accurate and indisputable way of resolution ...

There is likely a similar protocol in every state that ballots are stored in a specific way if certain scenarios come into play. Nobody knows if a legal challenge will pop up between now and when the electoral college meets. And it isnt even about just presidential, you arent even considering all of the local races between candidates which might need a recall or have a legal challenge happen. If some city council election in Idaho needed a recount, well the ballots are there. Because after the counting is done then the certification process begins. And even right now there is the “curing” process even happening which is to confirm every mail in ballot’s information and signature. Thats what is taking so long.

Trump doing a press conference in Philadelphia at 4.30 GMT apparently. Should be interesting/insane.

To be fair, that's what Bush and Blair did.

I just saw the highlights. Think he is adopting exactly the right tone.

He has always had that tone but nobody ever bothers to look into it more. Wanna go back in time? Imagine if Joe was half his age and running right now? It wouldve been a total blowout if he was firing on all cylinders. Now he is just doing the Mr Rogers route but thats what we need the most.

At Four Seasons Total Landscaping which is a gardening company?! 😐😂 Not Trump himself apparently but probably Giuliani who is always good for a laugh.

I know already posted but this guy is really living in a parallel universe!! 

Also, he's just arrive at the golf course

No, by law the original ballot papers are required to be kept until tabulated and certified and then quite often, for a specified lengthy period after an election in case of any criminal proceedings. 

The originals are boxed and sealed once scanned and the results digitised.

That video will not be completed ballots being dumped. Usual disinformation.

According to sky news Trump is playing golf and frequently cheats when he plays. Why am I not surprised? When he played at Turnberry in Ayrshire at the course he owns, locals hid in the bushes and constantly put him off every time he swung a club. Ended up with his  armed secret service chasing them, to the shouts of ok ya bunch of fannies, come and get us!

If I remember rightly he pulled a load of funding and put one of his stooges in charge, think they also tried to reduce number of post boxes available but don't think that one worked

They were trying to slow post down - https://www.voanews.com/2020-usa-votes/us-judge-blocks-postal-service-changes-slowed-mail

I imagine they’re doing a presser in PA because they know in the next hour or two there could be enough votes in to call it for Biden. They want to get in before it’s called to manipulate the narrative.

[squirrelarmy]

Arizona looks like it’s staying blue. Latest result hasn’t given enough votes to Trump

Thank you!

 

This made me chuckle.

What happened with the Post Office?

There was a new postmaster general put into place over the summer, Louis Dejoy. He was a big donor ( of course ) and had conflicting interests ( invested in another shipping logistics company that was seeking gvnt contracts )  with the job anyway but was still appointed.  Slowly but sure slowed down the service and efficiency of the post office. Cut overtime hours for workers ( despite the salary implications it was common for them to work more hours due to how much they had to deliver ), made then prioritize certain types of mail over others and the biggest crime we he had multiple sorting machines dismantled. Normal and common things that the post office did were now seen as herculean tasks. For example, the post office was responsible for the transport of baby chicks to farmers and such. With Dejoy in there a delivery like that was set by the wayside and then when farmers got the chicks, all of them were dead cause they were days late. A lot of senior citizens rely on the post office to receive their prescription medications. People would always know when to expect their meds so they wouldnt run out. But now things got delayed weeks and so people suffered.

The post office handles more pieces of mail daily than what UPS, FedEx and Amazon combined handle in a year. Thats the scope of the post office. And lets not get started on how the GOP has slowly been trying to cripple them in the last decade by placing them into horrible debt. That was a huge sticking point in a new covid stimulus deal was that no relief could come to the post office because the GOP wants to privitize the post office just like they want to with healthcare, even though we know that would be one of the worst things.

The White House hates that the post office still has favorable rates for Amazon and orange face hates Bezos he wants to stick it to him and us for that matter. We couldnt order a random product and get it shipped for $4 anymore cause amazon would have to charge $23 if the post office didnt exist anymore.

I am starting to get concerned that all this is distracting from the real problems in the USA.   Trump is a clown but this is getting beyond funny.  He will tear his country apart and undermine trust in the process: that's treasonable behaviour surely.
