Intrigued to see who everyone thinks will win the current US presidential elections? I wouldn't personally vote for Trump, but I think he will manage to win another term. What do you think?

YABU = Trump will win
YANBU = Biden will win

Place your bets now!

CNN aren't carrying that story so either they are verifying it or it's just fake.

AlexaShutUp · 06/11/2020 21:35

I think it may have just been one small county in Michigan, rather than the whole state. Don't think it affects the final result at state level.

@NonCisWoman

Apparently Michigan has flipped back to Trump after a software glitch was spotted?

(It's on Twitter, so it may not be true.)

Yeah it has to be said that info on Twitter probably needs to be taken with a pinch of salt at times.

What a turn up for the books if Trump won after all. Grin

Thoughts and prayers for Trumpy’s win!

@Viviennemary nothing surprises me at this point. I'm fully expecting to have to wait another month before we know the results

Janegrey333 · 07/11/2020 00:07

Trumpy. Is. Finished.

Thank god.

Janegrey333 · 07/11/2020 00:08

Has anyone seen this Ch 4 interview with Trump's niece?

It's bloody frightening.

Janegrey333 · 07/11/2020 00:11

And the evening more ludicrous “hair”.

Georgia just about to announce Trump win.
This didn’t age well...

During Obama's first election, my local used to use all machines, no paper. He won but I never trusted those machines. You can't even recount them by hands. They got rid of them and now we use both paper and scanner. MUCH BETTER

The one thing is that I wish they gave me a receipt showing who I voted for and it went through. But all it shows that my ballot went through

They flipped back only by a county. I think it also lost another 500 votes in total in another country

Imo you only need such a receipt if you think the process is fundamentally flawed - whenever I vote in person I just put my ballot paper in the box and that's it. We use pencil in the UK, but you could take your own pen. I know who I voted for and I accept the results because the counting process is fair and highly regulated. It seems even more stringently regulated/overseen in the US.
BenoneBeauty · 07/11/2020 13:28

I think software can be manipulated so i would definitely want a receipt if we had voting by machine here in the UK (especially after watching Scandal!).

DrManhattan · 07/11/2020 16:32

Omg Biden won !

MrsGulDukat · 07/11/2020 16:34

CNN are calling it now. Biden has it.

DrManhattan · 07/11/2020 16:35

Well for now. Not sure how it will all go with the legal schizzle

Whitecottoncandy · 07/11/2020 16:38

So happy Biden has won. Guy on CNN crying his eyes out. Made it very real about the impact Trump’s horrible presidency has had on real people who he made feel alienated. Biden has a huge task ahead of him but hopefully he can make a start and thank god trump is gone.

JustSaying101 · 07/11/2020 18:06

Just seen the news now that Biden has won! 🥳 Is Trump still trying to contest this?!

Trump us locking the doors of the Whitehouse and heading off the the bunker. The rest of the family are packing and head in to the airport.

I hope to god Biden stands up for women (despite his promises).

Youngatheart00 · 07/11/2020 18:20

Amazing scenes from the streets of New York, Washington etc!!

devildeepbluesea · 07/11/2020 18:24

A good day. Biden is a good man to start the healing. He's measured and has gravitas.

Of course there will be the redneck gammon heads who will remain firmly entrenched (enTrumped?) but there's no helping them.

wowfudge · 07/11/2020 19:58

Hallelujah! Not only did CNN call Pennsylvania for Biden, but Fox called Pennsylvania and Nevada for Biden. I'm so pleased the US has chosen not to re-elect Trump.
