The Official 2020 General Election returns thread CONTAINS NSFW IMAGES IN POST 3,884

Trump is talking live now. So late, past 2 a.m. local time.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

The Senate isn't looking too go either. So if Joe ekes out a victory not much is going to get done with Mitchy in town.

Yep our outcomes tonight are either really bad or completely fucked. I'm going to lean in the direction completely fucked because 2020.

Same site gave Biden a 70% chance of winning Florida. Not sure I'd trust their modeling.

Well, 70 or 85 ain't 100%.

Trump needs to be double tapped or it's not safe

 

[Franz316]

Oh man he's sewing the seeds of chaos right now. This guy is straight garbage and half the country supports him.

Eh delete that. That's a federal crime.

 

[Bitek]

Eh delete that. That's a federal crime.

Come on now, if someone said he got buried in this election, only a fool would take that literally.

Otoh... Rs control the DOJ...

I couldn't. Muted TV.

That wasn't enough to help me sleep, so I plugged the current results into the FiveThirtyEight simulator:

Explore The Ways Trump Or Biden Could Win The Election

Choose whether President Trump or Joe Biden will win each state in the 2020 presidential election and we’ll recalculate whether they have a path to 270 electoral votes and what their chance is of winning the Electoral College.

projects.fivethirtyeight.com

It still gives Biden an 85% chance of winning. 🤞

I want Biden and Harris to win and I'm all for extreme optimism. But how the hell's that site saying 85% Biden when he's down a decent amount in all the remaining states that matter? I understand they need to count mail in ballots and things could change by tomorrow. But 85 is really really optimistic that practically everything goes Biden's way for the remainder of the counting. Did an actual person come up with that calculation? Is it some weird algorithm? Maybe they know something I don't, but from my eyes it seems like whoever made that website switched the numbers for Trump & Biden on accident. I'm not counting Joe out, for 85%? damn that's almost a sure thing. I'd love to have a chat with whoever programmed their simulator. Could be the same fellow who made the credit simulator I ran that said by next summer I could have a 750 score *impossible* lol.

For fucks sake, Trump just implied they won election and said he'll be going to the supreme court to contest the election.

The fucker just refused to accept result of election if it doesn't go his way.

 

[Svnla]

Trump just says he would take the election to court. Stay tuned. Very bumpy road ahead.

 

[HurleyBird]

Worst possible outcome for unity.

 

[sportage]

FOX NEWS looks extremely disturbed at what Trump said and at what Trump claimed. So Now we have buyers remorse from Fox News? What Fox is actually saying without actually saying it is... GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE.

 

[gothuevos]

Can you still have a red mirage with a lot of these states now approaching 70%???

 

[NWRMidnight]

Can you still have a red mirage with a lot of these states now approaching 70%???

Yep, specially those states that have absente ballots to still count, which in a lot of cases are heavy democrat. Take PA for example, there are still 1.6 million ballots not counted, and it's around 1.2 Million of those are absentee/mail in ballots.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I don't think anybody in either party isn't blown away with Trump's demand to stop the counting of votes. It's unbelievable and only prepares his legal battles if he does end up losing.

 

[sportage]

I would ask the people that voted for Trump, what do they think of their leader now trying to stop votes from being counted? But then I realized, why even ask....
Putin is sure doing his happy dance tonight. Donald Trump, tonight, has finished the complete destruction of America. We are no longer that shining city on the hill. Tonight America has become Soviet-Merica. The dictatorship. If Joe Biden can not be found tomorrow and no one knows where he is, ask Donald, he knows....

 

[Bitek]

This is what a fraudster scared of losing says.

He's on the ropes, please God let's put him away. Then in prison.

I've got to agree somewhat. No matter who wins the election the real winner's are Russia and China.

Biden won NE-2 so a 269-269 tie looks doubtful. If Biden takes AZ + NV + MI + WI + ME (minus the second district, not sure which way that's polling) but loses GA + PA + NC + AK he eeks out a 270-268 victory. Same if you swap GA and MI.

need more states. I am sure if Biden is at 270 exactly, NE will change the rules and award their evs to statewide winnermand run to the Supreme Court. We need Georgia and the midwest states to pull through

 

[Bitek]

AP calls AZ for Biden.

Down to you WI (or GA!)

Biden got ME, maybe they will pull it off. A shame if he wins Trump will take it to court and be the worst sport possible. A Biden win there will be no 1st day welcoming party at the WH from Trump and family with a photo op with them shaking hands and both smiling. I imagine Trump would act much like a disgruntled tenant who was rightfully evicted. But still decided to take a big dump in the middle of the living room and tear up a bunch of shit in the house out of spite. I'm assuming if he loses he believes him taking it to the Supreme Court will "fix" that. What would he would when that was a fail too? Maybe he'd literally take a shit somewhere in the White House and leave it for Joe to find.

Look at what is really happening here with an American election....
It is always the desire to have as many people as possible to turn out for any election. In the past, election after election, the goal has been to increase voter participation. That has ALWAYS been the case with every election. Voter participation!!!

So.... with this election, THIS IS EXACTLY what has happened. In this election the voter turnout was massive and amazing. And thus, it takes longer to do the vote counting. And thus, Donald Trump seeks to punish Americans FOR TURNING OUT TO VOTE. With even challenging VOTER PATRIOTISM to the US Supreme Court. See what is happening here? See what is happening??? American voters have done their job, have done their patriotic duty as Americans, but Donald Trump wants to punish this patriotism and deny patriotic turnout from counting. Hell.... even Kim Jong Un never thought of trying this.....

Only if he loses, if he wins he'll credit all the wonderful, amazing people who voted for him. His narratives depend entirely on the outcome. I guess that's how it is for a lot of people. But he takes shit to absolute extremes. Him losing this, then taking it to the Supreme Court and losing there too would be beyond glorious.

Be a gracious loser he will not.

PS, and to note, when republicans cheat they expect to win. In this case, they cheated by challenging states in court, however their efforts still failed. In this election, republicans cheating didn't get them anywhere and so, they must continue to cheat some more.
