"Laws being written as we speak" - BBC

I have a meme in my head. Its a picture of a toddler laying face down in a middle of a shop. Text reads: Because I wouldn't let him stay on as President after he lost the election.

I suppose he HAS to win though. Without the protection of office he's going to have an awful lot of crimes to answer to. 🙄

Toddlers are at least cute - trump seems to have taken leave of sanity a fair while ago. He has no basis for his allegations whatsoever except he doesn't want to lose.

@MrsLangOnionsMcWeetabix that's brilliant 😂

He's now suing to stop the vote in PA 🤦‍♀️

Trump demanding a recount in Wisconsin...
Does he think these recounted votes get added to his original tally, effectively doubling it?

Who are the group who are angry at the Detroit count?

The Supreme Court knocked back a request to overturn the PA mail in extension last week.

Trumps team are declaring victory in Pennsylviania.

Also Trumps team we are taking legal action to stop all these postal votes in Pennsylviania.

Desparation and undermining democracy.

Wonder how quickly Melania will revert to her maiden name once/if he loses?

Yellow ticker tape on Sky: Trump administration is filing a lawsuit in Michigan to "halt the counting of ballots"

Biden speaking in next few minutes apparently.

In other news the Trump Tantrum appears to be slowly building... 🙄

@Roussette

I am just amused that Trump says a major fraud is being committed on the American people without explaining how.

Not only is he threatening the Supreme Court but he wants the states that he may lose to stop counting votes and the ones where he will probably win to count their votes again! I wish that the 60 million people that voted for him had not do Joe Biden would win in a landslide, but if JB wins by even ONE vote, I'll be satisfied. I am convinced that by the end of this mess that the Cheeto in Chief will be sent packing.

@MrsMigginsMate

Why do some news sources have Biden at 248 and some say he's 227? (Eg the Guardian Vs BBC)

More mysteriously, the BBC had Biden 227 and Trump 213 for several hours earlier today, and now have it as Biden 227, Trump 214; where did the extra one come from?

Just another reminder that the checked data is here

#BREAKING: Large, animated crush of “stop the count” protestors trying to push their way into TCF hall in #Detroit where ballots are being counted.

They’re being blocked by guards at the door.

Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime Maine divided their 4 Electoral Collage Votes. I studied this years ago but can't remember the mechanism for this.

Trump got one EC vote in Maine, I think.

Thanks. I was slightly baffled there.

Joe Biden speaking now

Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense.

What fresh hell is this?
Pizza boxes? What sort? I need to know! Donaldimos or Pizza Twunt?
Stuffed crust?

That's not good Rousette.

Biden: We have enough votes for 270. I'm not going to declare but I do think when all the votes are in, we will be the winners.

I have to say... I am loving Biden's speech. Inclusive, strong, decisive

Biden talking of lowering the temperature, democracy and the will of the people, Americans coming together.
