@lubeybooby

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.
Only 4 states require postal votes to begin counting on Election Day. Those states are Mississippi, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Alabama.

Oh which bit have I got wrong? I can see how it looks misleading just checking the figures as they stand so i was trying to explain that the figures now don't reflect what's to come. If we were still waiting for California and other democratic states to be called it would be different headline figures.

This all seems a little Deja Vu for me, much closer than I was expecting.

Squeaky bum time.

Squeaky bum time.

Ha ha!

I got a bit confused when they talked about the reds and the blues because in UK it is the other way around. Tories are blue and Labour is red. I also could not undestand much of the language they used on the news this morning on BBC - not helped by having sound down (too early) and relying on 'asshat' subtitles!!

@Teddyisahe...Trump won Nebraska hours ago

HerRoyalNotness · 04/11/2020 07:01

I think we know the answer to that. People are showing their true colours

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 07:01

Trump is now tweeting about trying to steal the election, votes cannot be castafter polls close. He's moved beyond the idea of votes arriving via mail after polling day.

But mail in votes *can" legally count in some states if they arrive later?
Ohio and Pennsylvania definitely

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 07:03

I cannot believe that half the fucking electorate looked at Donald Trump and thought, Yes let's have more of THAT.

Leaannb · 04/11/2020 07:04

[quote Jaichangecentfoisdenom]**@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. [/quote]
Girl, it is 200am in the morning here and I'm gobsmacked. How do you lose so many minority votes to a known bigot and racist? How is that possible

In the US it is absolutely true that hospitals get more money for Covid related deaths. The number of Covid deaths are now questionable.

JamieLeeCurtains · 04/11/2020 07:05

It just occurred to me that no presidential candidate with a female VP 'pick' on the ballot paper has ever won. Depressing.

In my state they have until November 12th to be counted. But they jad to be post marked before election day

Sad

Not looking good. Florida pretty much always goes for whoever gets the presidency. And from the BBC figures, I think most of the state's still to be counted - Michigan, Wisconsin - will go Trump's way.

Stellarto1s · 04/11/2020 07:07

I can’t believe half the population voted for Biden; someone who is obviously senile and cannot string a sentence together.

maggiethecat · 04/11/2020 07:07

It’s one thing to be dismayed by the rabid Trump supporter but I’ve always feared the secret one 😡

Yes I was thinking that.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 04/11/2020 07:08

Well i now have final proof I live in a world very different to the one in my head.

Almost unbearable, definitely unbelievable.

Yes but he's thrown those things in Biden's face.

There has only been 3 female vice president picks throughout the years
tobee · 04/11/2020 07:11

Hang on I've got that the wrong way around.

HMSSophie · 04/11/2020 07:12

This is desperate stuff. Whichever way it goes it has the potential to be horrific socially in the US.

And I cannot believe how depressed I feel about the sheer number -millions! MILLIONS - of people in the US and globally, who stand behind a racist sexist aggressive and egotistic horror of a man. Weimar Germany springs very uncomfortably to mind.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 04/11/2020 07:14

I despair.

What in the hell are you talking about?
SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 04/11/2020 07:14

I dreamt Biden got Florida then woke up realised he hadn’t and am bereft. The dream was so real!
