PA only has 64% votes counted, they’re not likely to declare until Friday.

CaveMum · 04/11/2020 06:37

Morning all. Reading through all this I’m glad I went to bed.

What a shit show. I know it ain’t over till it’s over but I certainly don’t feel positive.

Ihaveyourback · 04/11/2020 06:38

Look at the current voting trend in Penns teddy it is in strongly Trump's favour, so if there is a 'change' between now and Friday it will be considered to be fraud by the Trump team, and very likely to be contested.

TeddyIsaHe · 04/11/2020 06:40

Trump is going to contest whatever happens.

If you look at Virginia, Biden was was below Trump until the bigger counties started coming in.

I’m not giving up till it’s over. There’s always hope!

Well it's 06.39 in London and I haven't yet heard the fat lady. (Think we had by now in 2016) but the fat lady is doing her vocal warm up. Sad

TeddyIsaHe · 04/11/2020 06:40

Was way*

Detroitdarkcafe · 04/11/2020 06:40

It doesn't look great, does it. I'm so upset.

Completmentfille · 04/11/2020 06:43

Am I being thick- why are people saying it doesn't look great? Isn't Biden ahead?

This fat lady's going back to bed.

Too early for any singing.

@Gotheeunicorns

*Leaannb* but wasn't that expected at this point, before mail in votes were counted?
No it wasn't expected. Not at all. Biden should have had a much more of a lead over Trump and he doesn-t. We are not talking a couple percentage points in most of the states. Trump leads by 10 points in most of the states. He only holds 1 percentage point in NC. This should have been a cake walk for Biden. How in the world did he lose so much of the minority vote such as Latinx and even.African-Americns? How in the world do you do that? How do you lose votes from POC to the incredibly incompetent and racist Donald Trump
JamieLeeCurtains · 04/11/2020 06:45

If around a third of the Pennsylvania votes are yet to counted, and they're suspected to be pretty favourable to the Democrats because of the nature of those ballots, and Trump knows this, then (a) it's all to play for, and (b) Trump will tantrum and Biden will urge patience and calm.

This really was widely anticipated. Not looked forward to - but predicted.

TeddyIsaHe · 04/11/2020 06:45

@Completmentfille

Am I being thick- why are people saying it doesn't look great? Isn't Biden ahead?
Because Trump is projected to pick up the big states. Biden needs to either win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, OR pick up Nebraska (looking likely!) and Arizona, and then he can do it without PA.

But it’s all going to come down to the early votes and Mail-in.

Plus Trump is going to cause havoc with his bullshit, so it’s far from over.

@Completmentfille trump is ahead in most of the states that haven't declared yet. And the result so far show that the expected swing to democrat very much hasn't happened. Biden will need to postal ballots to go strongly in his favour to catch up, they haven't finished counting them yet. He is only ahead because some of the democratic states are called earlier than the swing states.

lubeybooby · 04/11/2020 06:46

Been up all night watching the worst horror movie ever unfold

fucks sake

Leaannb · 04/11/2020 06:48

@Completmentfille

Am I being thick- why are people saying it doesn't look great? Isn't Biden ahead?
Yeah but just barely. Trump is predicted to win the other states by 10 percentage points except for Nevada and NC. Biden is doing well in Nevada but Trump has won NC by less than 100,00 votes. I think they are already doing a recount because its so.closr
iftherewereahorseyinthehouse · 04/11/2020 06:48

Georgia is a lot closer than when I last checked!

lubeybooby · 04/11/2020 06:48

and the decision to count postal ballots last frankly risks war if there is a narrow Biden win. Very dangerous and nasty - all legal, normal and above board, fully expected process but we know what the oily orange turd will call it.

Not how that works

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 04/11/2020 06:49

@Leaannb - yes. You're so right, this should have been a cake-walk for Biden. What I cannot get my head round is WHY it isn't, after the past 4 years of racist, fascist, white supremacist selfish dictatorial shit.

anomletteandaglassofwine · 04/11/2020 06:49

I've been up since 3, I think Biden will shade it. Trump will do everything he can to claim the Dems 'stole' it. It could be very ugly indeed.

I will never understand why, after the last 4 years, so many Americans think that Trump is such a great leader they want him back again. Unbelievable.

Viviennemary · 04/11/2020 06:51

Far too much counting chickens. It's not those who shout the loudest.
