Its not unbelievable. This year with the massive amounts of early mail-in votes its been a total circus. I wouldn't trust anything, anywhere if I were either candidate.
Agreed, there should have been better plans and guidelines to get the numbers out much quicker than what we have seen. Trump can't have it both ways though, anything for personal gain.

One of the annoying stories of today: Trump's complaining to stop counting votes in MI and PA, but to count more in AZ and NV. It seems he wants to change the rules of the states that aren't in his favor. Always wanting the rules to follow him... It is annoying that the votes are being counted the next day, but that is common and given the large number of absentee/mail-in ballots, this was expected.

Was always this close. Polls were somehow even worse than 2016.
I don't think the polls account for the massive number of small counties that are low in population but are high percentage of R's. They seem to stick around the cities and burbs way too much.

Another 100 million spent to try and unseat Susan Collins and Joni Ernst down the drain.
Over 300 million spent in four Senate race losses for dems.
Too much money spent on these individuals. Waste waste waste

I went to bed last night thinking that Trump had won. Biden was so far behind in Pennsylvania. I didn’t realize that Biden could still win without Pennsylvania until later this morning.
Just trying to catch up to all of you.
Agreed, those mail-in ballots are a huge factor.

For those asking about what is happening in PA. We need to do better in 2024!

Wonder the consequences if campaign money had to be matched in a "pay off the national debt" fund.... something like, no match until xxx dollars, then 1-1 match to xxx+yyy and escalate the scale higher with the goal of make buying an election very expensive. a balanced budget would probably be best first step, followed by term limits, lobbyist reform, and likely some sort of voting reform
I love this. My greatest wish in politics is for Congressman to have term limits, but it will never fly because why would you vote to limit your own term? I wonder how this could be done.

I'm not sure how he could have phrased it differently and made the point.
As an example, I don't wish harm upon the people of Minneapolis, but the city council going on national TV to make their case for defunding the police and then seeing the crime rate go through the roof is an expected and deserved outcome. If the citizens don't feel the effects of their votes what's the point in voting for someone?
Yes the city officials were just trying to make the politically correct argument and it definitely bit them in the ass. If anything, Minneapolis needs an increase in police funding and improve their training. I hope they learned from their mistakes, but time will tell.

Please, common sense? You mean the same common sense where a Mayor and Gov allows their most populous city to burn instead of sending the National Guard in.....but then wonders why Trump wouldn't pay for the damage? Minneapolis deserves what it has coming. Sometimes people need a good kick in the a** to help then figure things out. The Minneapolis metro has made their bed voting blue again.
I agree that it was a s***show and they should have taken further action. Hopefully what happened can teach everyone a huge lesson and we can figure this crap out.

I live in the Minneapolis area and agree with what he said. Election have consequences, elect leaders with no spine and you get what you asked for.
As do I. I made sure to vote for people that will have that spine and defend and support our community. I was just disgusted with his wording I guess.

Common sense should have never allowed a police building to be offered in sacrifice when this whole thing started.
I agree with this statement. Nobody is supporting that action, but we have to work together now and heal the community. No state "deserves whats coming to them".

And in Minneapolis last night protesters spray painted store fronts and threw debris into the streets blocking traffic while carrying a banner "America is Over". That city and state deserves everything coming it's way when the Floyd verdicts shake out.
MN deserves chaos and destruction? How could you say that? Wish for healing and common sense, not terrible things. Wow

There's too much guttural reaction in a large segment (of both parties) to the name "Trump".
The Trump kids better figure that out and stay away from politics.
I hope to God that they stay away but I am sure they will be around for many years to come.

Pence is as exciting as a lap dance from Hillary.
Pence doesn't win that one (unless it is against Harris).

Seems as tho the house is getting tighter than the left would like
I don't mind this. I don't believe either party should have a huge advantage over another, the more in the middle they are, the more they should get s*** done (ideally).

a ridiculous amount of money poured into the campaign that far exceeded that of his opponent
It is stupid how much money is given to these idiots. Imagine the good we could do in our country with all of the money raised.

It is looking like a Biden win, all it took was a year of heavily biased media coverage slamming his opponent and not Biden, bogus polls meant to discourage his opponents supporters by making it look like Biden had it in the bag, a ridiculous amount of money poured into the campaign that far exceeded that of his opponent, and at a minimum some interesting goings on with mail in ballots. It was a stacked deck from the start.
People are just sick of Trump and his daily BS. If anything, the polls ignited Trump voters to come out in droves to take down the polls. I can't stand the media either and do feel that is biased one way vs the other, but it has been that way for years and is nothing new.

Some ifs for Pennsylvania for what it worth if anything - disclaimer my math and My assumptions on what is being reported.
cnn is reporting (I know I know) they are estimating that 76% of the vote has been counted in Pennsylvania
If that is true
and some here have said that the remaining votes are falling 3 to 1 for Biden - (75%) another big if
Nearest I can figure that means that Biden will win Pennsylvania by 260,000
I no longer can see specifics for the city of Philadelphia.
If 70% of the estimated remaining go to Biden then Biden wins by 90,000
If 65% of the remaining go to Biden then Trump wins by 80,000
I don't think Biden gets enough votes and loses PA

As a true Independent voter, Harris is awful.

My fear...... the Trump loss leads to the spawning of the Trump's son legacy revenge canidates.
That would be god awful. If there is an attempted Trump dynasty, I am out. I think all of his kids are spoiled douchebags that have nothing in common with us, yet try to say that we are all the same. Trump is who he is, but his kids are the worst of them all.

2024 will be interesting for certain. The changing footprint of this country makes it fun to look at the strategy.
As Sik mentioned earlier in this thread, Texas will be a battleground state in 2024.
I completely agree! I think Texas will stay Red for the next couple of rounds though

Biden acts as the moderate he is and claims he can't get anything done for the next 4 years because the R's kept the Senate (which is accurate). He sticks around for 1 term and the R's take the WH back in 2024 because Harris won't win a general election and she has to be the presumptive nominee. Midterms in 2022 become something interesting to watch.
I would like to believe that Biden would be able to create some sort of bipartisan support in Congress. I agree that Harris has no shot, and R's and D's must pick two completely new candidates next time.

well yes, that is the point.
Its been claimed as illegitimate for 4 years, now its on the other foot.
But the conditions of the vote counting can be in no way compared.
I just think that as Americans we should all accept whoever wins. I hate the two-party system so much and how people vote for their color (red/blue), rather than the person.

His lawyers have stated this as well. Voting stopped last night, so this is a nonissue and I have no clue what he is talking about.
