US Election

All depends on postal vote counting going on.

Pennsylvania has about 26% on postal vote by looks of it. That's another 1.5 million votes.

Wisconsin another example has Biden narrowly leading but another 30,000 votes in one county alone which is all postal votes being counted.

Michigan has 20% on postal votes which is about 1 million to come in.

I don't think the results as they are for these States means much as was said would happen in heavily postal vote States.

Nevada is a tricky one because Biden's lead has narrowed but once again a lot of the remaining votes in outstanding counties are postal.

 

lol whose my boy?
I aint no ****ing Trump supporter!
Guys a narcissistic jackass with zero charm and a face that makes you want to cave it in.

Its a shame the best opponents the Dems can put up against him are a Crooked as ****, corporation coddling, **** enabling bitch like Clinton
or a cruel, senile, race baiting piece of **** like Biden.

 

I noticed he’s shortened to 4/6, not sure what they know that we don’t like.

 

Senate vote getting tasty as well btw.

 

1.68 now so about the same. Might have a few quid on Don if it goes below 1.6.

 

Is that good or bad for him ?

 

I just voted for him. Looks like our election is truly representative - they count votes received after polling day.

 

They’re making him still the favourite to win.

 

Biden is now somehow 4/7, so I’ve just lobbed a ton on Trump at 11/8.

 

Pompeymeowth told me how to work all this odds lark out . I just have to admit me and mathematics never have , and never will get on

Mad that the postal vote doesn't have to be in before election day.[/QUOTE]

I wasn't really totally understanding the debate over postal votes, reason being is I postal vote and it clearly states on my ballot paper, that my vote has to be returned by a closing date. So if I delay, I rightly assume my vote won't count, regardless of my health or reasons for not getting it in the post.

The concern I have is leaving the voting open to manipulation, by not having a strict closing time on it. So regardless of what I think of Trump, I don't think courts should be passing judgements of votes being counted pass a close time.

I'd be happier if there was a clear winner, but as it appears this is going to be a close run thing, the US has left this open to all sorts of problems and arguments, and in my eyes it taints democracy.

 

Go look at the Spurs Politics thread post #14828 the latest as I type .

 

Michigan lead for Trump has just gone down from 200,000 to 60,000. Detroit county I think just came in.

As said previously postal votes counting.

 

Each State has their own rules mate. Pennsylvania will count any votes postmarked on Election Day but received by Friday iirc. Others have a cut off for receipt on Election Day. It’s an absolute mess, as is the completely outdated electoral college system, which looks likely to deliver a win for the candidate with fewer votes - again. Barmy stuff.

 

Wow, that’s a massive shift.

 

Mate let's not forget we said this weeks ago. The 'in person' vote was going to show a surge for one candidate. Then the lag of postal vote will change that.

Still more counties postal voting to come in Michigan. Doesn't mean Trump loses the State but to call it now is ridiculous.

 

Jeez, basically the US states have created their own problems, this will drag out for days, weeks, months, which will probably end in riots. Even decisions in Belarus are more clear cut...this man won, well he didn't but we are telling you he did.

 

Their entire process is literally 200 years out of date. I fear whatever the result now, it doesn’t end well with the populous and it’s the nightmare scenario we discussed weeks ago in terms of the likelihood of violence on the streets. A clear cut win for either side made that much less likely.

 

Biden is now into 4/9 and Trump out to 7/4. Looks like I went too early with my bet on Trump and should have waited an hour, I still don’t get those odds like.
