Given the contest is so close, who is going to be held accountable for all those lost ballots?
They could’ve made a massive difference

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 04/11/2020 16:50

@AcrossthePond55 - hope your DS feels better by the end of the day. As you say, the stress of it all is so wearing even without having any MH issues. @TheNorthWestPawsage - hopefully tears of relief, after the latest news?
I am not understanding this at all. So Biden has the most votes ever recorded for a Presidential candidate, but there is still doubt that he is the President? Sumfing wrong (with this system), Shirley?

Roussette · 04/11/2020 16:51

And here is Bernie Sanders predicting exactly what would happen and what Trump would do. 100% accurate.

What has happened?

anon444877 · 04/11/2020 16:52

The number of votes for both candidates at historical highs due to turnout.

They'll have to wait or recount until the usps mail catches up if it makes a difference to the result or looks as though it may as in Georgia. It's an absolute abomination.

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 16:52

200 000 ballots remain to be counted in Georgia.
Trump's lead is roughly 100 000

Trying very hard to stay calm in this Midwest house.
It is very tense.
City is boarded up.
Hoping desperately that other Midwest states will join us in the blue corner.

anon444877 · 04/11/2020 16:53

The usps ballots aren't so much lost as delayed is my understanding so far.

Ninetyseventhirtyfive · 04/11/2020 16:54

If Biden has won Wisconsin and Michigan, which he appears to have, I make that 264 I think? What else does he need to win or will it all come down to Pennsylvania? Nevada is a possibility but still not many votes counted...

occa · 04/11/2020 16:55

My Twitter feed seems to be very confident that Biden has it now. God I hope they're right.

TokyoSushi · 04/11/2020 16:58

And the tantrum continues (just now)...

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country!

PullTheBricksDown · 04/11/2020 16:59

So Biden has won Wisconsin by 20K votes. Guardian is reporting that the elections commissioner administrator for WI said on NBC news that all the ballots have been counted.

Biden can now get to 270 with either Michigan and Pennsylvania, or with Michigan and Nevada.

Trump needs Pennsylvania plus 3 other states, or 5 other states if he loses Pennsylvania. Again this is the Guardian summing up the situation.

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 16:59

I wonder what sort of state Trump will leave the White House in?
I expect to see Sharpie spectacles drawn on all the portraits.
An unflushed turd in each and every toilet.
And a chunk sawn off the bottom of the Oval Office desk so that it wobbles

anon444877 · 04/11/2020 17:01

Trump showing his lunacy again - he has backed the wrong horse with mail fraud, it won't go his way if he goes through legitimate channels. He's the turd we can't flush yet!

Well at least thats better than with bullet holes.

Actually there WAS mail fraud . The USPS was sabotaged to make it less likely that ballots would arrive in time to be counted

His lawyers haven't found their way to the Supreme Court yet

CNN predicting at least 3 out of 4 of Maine's EC votes to Biden.

Nice work @HoldMyLobster Grin

I needed that 😂🤣😁

Trump yet again tweeting to complain that votes are being counted. Hmm

@TheNorthWestPawsage

Across as you say, MH is difficult enough to maintain under normal circumstances. This must be particularly hard to process. Flowers to anyone here who is struggling.

After 4 years on these threads I suddenly feel like crying.

Flowers from me. It's been good to have you here to talk to.

Thanks! I'm a bit embarrassed it's not 4 votes but hopefully it's enough.

It's been pointed out by people who understand the process better than Trump that he can't just go straight to SCOTUS. Any legal challenges have to be presented at State level first

DuncinToffee · 04/11/2020 17:19

Just over 100,000 votes remain to be counted in Michigan: Biden currently ahead by just over 31,000. Expectation is that he will retain this lead.

BruceAndNosh · 04/11/2020 17:19

Trump campaign sending out begging letters / emails to fund the legal challenge. Obviously Trump doesn't believe enough in his case to actually put up any of his own money

Fiderer · 04/11/2020 17:21

Home from work and the results haven't changed - apart from Maine.
Bloody Collins in again apparently, grr.

May make self a drink before delving into the Senate & House races.

Thank you for the thread and accompanying sanity!
