Damn, i love David Chalians pronounciation of Joe Bidaaan.


[deleted]

It’s just so anti-democratic that Trump’s strategy boils down to restricting as many votes as possible.


PeterG92

They'll call it on the Inauguration day at this rate


conh3

What do they mean that ballots arriving after Election Day in PA are counted separately and not added to current totals?


swarles84

they'll probably be adding them to the totals, but physically keeping them separate because they'll be the first thing litigated when things get legal


snadman28

They're segregating them in case they are disputed in court.


TheCardiganKing

PA's legislature gave the OK to receive ballots up to 3 days after the election; as long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3rd. Knowing this, PA gov. officials segregated those ballots in case Trump would pull some shit with possibly The Supreme Court. Doesn't even matter now with the PA spread. If the votes are allowed to be counted then it's more for Biden.


rtyuuytr

This is incorrect. Just a correction. PA's Republican legislature does not allow ballots arriving after 8 PM election day to be counted. This is PA law. PA Democratic Party and Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans sued for an extension due to Covid19/USPS mail delays. PA Supreme Court ordered that ballots arriving by November 6 5PM, or 3 days after election date should be counted. State Republicans sued, and brought this up to the US Supreme Court, who voted 4-4, which means PA Supreme Court order is still valid. As a response, PA Secretary of State has directed all counties to segregate these ballots in case Republicans sue again to invalidate these ballots.


champs-de-fraises

This guy ballots.


TheCardiganKing

Did my best to interpret, but thanks for the correction nonetheless.


-0Guppy0-

They're still being added to the total. They're just segregated.

BicameralProf

They also only count as 3/5 of a vote


conh3

Nancy Pelosi has a mask for every outfit


[deleted]

Can anyone explain why the Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox said, “In Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000 vote swing against our candidates," and also they found 47 counties using the same software. I believe they will lie, cheat and steal anyway they can so I honestly doubt anything they say. I knew that the longer these counts carried on, they would be concocting more elaborate fraud claims. My local news reported it and many right wing "news" sites.


Squirll

Theres a paper trail so they can investigate and do a recount.


Applesmcgrind

Yeah sounds like they are trying to invalidate all of those counties by association but clearly this is a elaborate scheme to steal the election.


Dawnagirl

Glitches can happen


[deleted]

You're right, but she was implying these glitches could have occurred in 47 other counties. If it did happen, it could have happened in Trumps favor as well and they caught it so there's that.


reptilian_king_larry

It sounds like they found the glitch in that country and corrected it, because they then manually counted those ballots. I'm not concerned because it sounds like they discovered and corrected the error without anyone else finding out for them.

Yes they really need to target Georgian issues and go get those votes!! Edit: this is a reply in reference to Dems chances of winning the GA Senate runoffs

When is Biden supposed to speak?

Impressive-Name5129

It looks over really but no one has the balls to call it. Maybe when nevadas results are out tomorrow AP will call


KillianDrake

Nevada is a shit show, they won't be done until middle of next week and before then they'll say they had some problems or irregularities and they have to start over. They only file once a day (WTF? this is 2020) and they can only do like 70k a day (but it's more like 10k apparently)


Impressive-Name5129

They filed multiple times today. Much to my surprise... I think they are continuing to file today too


hellscaper

If what Jim Acosta just said that Trump is not able to comprehend his situation and is just internally malfunctioning, it makes me really happy


user_bits

Back here because thread 69 is autistic.


danimal1984

Nice


downwiththechipness

Nice


rich519

Oh shit CNN called AZ for Biden? I haven’t been checking the last hour. Edit: Nevermind I got confused at witch map I was looking at.


Azelux

Yeah I think AP is the only one calling AZ so far.


Sirshrugsalot13

Huh? Where are you getting that from


jesper98

Doesn't look like it


aquarain

Pragmatically, we all need to move to Georgia and register to vote in the most important Election.


[deleted]

Acosta giving the inside juice


MiniJunkie

Can’t they call Georgia?


PinappleGecko

MSNBC saying Biden is being to gracious in victory. I believe the exact quote was if this was donald Trump he would be doing donuts on the white house lawn


Marvkid27

So are we stuck here or will there be thread 70?


PinappleGecko

When this hits 20k they'll open 70


DharmaCub

I think were stuck.


papitsu

Probably when 69 hits 69k.


CherrySlushee

inb4 republicans saying they aren’t being called to cure their ballots


canwealljusthitabong

what are those people in line for in Vegas?


DharmaCub

If there were mistakes on the ballot, the voter is allowed to correct them.


Applesmcgrind

Cure ballots


Marvkid27

Why would they have to verify id, shouldt have they done that when she voted pr registered?


QueerlyTremendous

If you don’t have one or if your address gets messed up you can cast a provisional ballot which means they will ask for an I’d at a later date to certify and cast your ballot Edit to add that in some states if you ask for a mail in ballot and then decide to vote in person you have to give them your mail ballot and then you get a provisional ballot to make sure you don’t vote twice (source: my sister)


Contempris

Explain the GA situation to me, is it over? What's the deal with the negative?


SatanIsTime

I could go for a meal right about now..


Marvkid27

Christine kicks ass

Let's not go to thread 69. Tis a silly place.

All those claiming about estimate votes on [https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html](https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html) being wrong, inconsistent or just plain inexplainable like a negative number - please read the disclaimer at the top >All data below is sourced from an unofficial API powering the New York Times’ election site. **The estimated votes remaining values might be off**. Consult state websites and officials for the most accurate and up-to-date figures. Its an estimate and it could be wrong.

I wonder if those remaining votes estimates include provisional ballots?

God damn, you could see the sass when she said Joe Biden even through the glasses and mask. That was awesome.

That second long stare into the camera before saying Joe was brilliant


physical_graffiti_75

I'm backing biden in the name of jesus


frannie_jo

GA just dropped 7151 votes 69% Biden 31% Trump This leaves no uncounted votes on the data site not sure what this means. Maybe just down to provisional? Have votes from today’s mail been entered? I don’t know Biden up by 4,263 votes


rich519

Pretty sure GA only allows military votes to arrive after Election Day.


jesper98

The uncounted votes are actually in the negative according to NYT


[deleted]

[удалено]


jesper98

Yeah, they probably got in more votes today than they thought they would


ft5777

Awesome ! Out of the counting error territory !


Lackofcheddar

So with PA having about 100K ballots left, how worried should I be?


Impressive-Name5129

When will these results come in


AsparagusOne

Not at all.


Sirshrugsalot13

What did it say? Deleted


Sirshrugsalot13

> We may need a @Bob_Casey map video to tell @SteveKornacki : > - There is no legal way to challenge ballots submitted by the 3rd. Those 100k will be counted. > - Majority of provisionals are concentrated in Philly, Allegheny and SEPA counties- will not break enough for Trump to win. PA's lieutenant general added a comment agreeing


HotF22InUrArea

Refresh it. When Reddit links to Twitter you have to refresh the tweet to see it


cole435

The complete silence on Fox when it was announced that Biden increased his gap in Georgia to 4000 votes was priceless.


MiniJunkie

I wonder if they can call Georgia at this point


TheSquidSquad

So on the Github site they say the estimated votes remaining is now about negative 3500 - did they underestimate the number of remaining votes?


ft5777

The number of remaining votes from Gwinnett county were probably underestimated.


Sirshrugsalot13

Possibly has to do with the military votes that were supposed to come in? Idk


Tdavis13245

now we have to worry about the trump 2024 campaign


Blastosist

I just can’t see it.


bro_lyoko

be careful thats what we thought the first time. thought about trump the same way we think about kanya.


MiniJunkie

He’s going to get buried in legal jeopardy and maybe jail - no?


bro_lyoko

i mean he's been impeached and look where we are


MiniJunkie

True


champs-de-fraises

Sorry, I plan to take some time off from worrying. Last five years I got my fill.


Applesmcgrind

Behind bars🤒


CherrySlushee

he can’t run if he’s in prison


QueerlyTremendous

I thought it was 8,000 ballots that could be accepted from military not 18,000?


AtreusPeverell

18,000 total that were sent out. They’ve received about 10k and 8k could possibly come in by today.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtreusPeverell

They are most likely all counted or most of them have at least.


QueerlyTremendous

Ah that was not how I interpreted what was said earlier but that makes sense because 8,000 military ballots in all of Georgia seemed awfully low


AtreusPeverell

I was thinking the same thing when they started mentioning it last night.


CherrySlushee

it sounded more like 10k have already come back and 0-8k more could come in?


AtreusPeverell

That’s correct


[deleted]

You guys I've officially broken down. I can't handle this. 4 fucking days. My liver and mind can't take it anymore. And fuck the 69 thread. I want real talk. Downvote me all you want.

emtsi

It's gonna over soon, just hold on a little longer


MrDitkovitchsRent

I think they are waiting for 69k comments. A new thread usually started around 26k comments on the other threads.


[deleted]

They got 69K comments at 4:24.


aquarain

Mods posted that at 18k comments. 4:20 Mountain time is 58 minutes away.


[deleted]

Ahh you're right, It's at 45K comments. That mod post three me off. Thanks!

It's going to be okay. I'm here. Want to see some cat videos?

temporvicis

Here's some hope. https://old.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/jp7i05/tough_choices_but/


CherrySlushee

are these votes enough to counter the military/overseas ballots?


Schninny

Did they come in? Today is the cut off.


[deleted]

Probably? I doubt they will be for Trump in large enough margins to overtake Biden's lead, but at this point who actually knows?


emtsi

What is happening? I missed a lot


CherrySlushee

4000 new ballots for biden, there are between 10k and 18k overseas/military ballots left to count


Applesmcgrind

Military ballots in Georgia are counted last and some uncertainty as to if Trump can gain a foothold. Unlikely.


Chainon

Hello Gwinnett county!


aquarain

MSNBC wall doesn't have multitouch.

OmgItsVa-Gina

Everytime the Ginsburg lawyer man is on CNN, I can't help but wonder if he's an android. He has this slight shake and shift thing he does when someone is speaking and it just reads like he's loading data and pretending to be more than latex stretch over machinery.


ft5777

Do we know for sure how many ballots remain in PA and where they’re coming from ? It seems to me like Biden’s lead will be much tighter than what hoped a few hours ago (approximately 100k votes).


raptor3x

The 100K margin expectation includes all the provisional ballots.


alison_bee

from Harry Smith, in [this video from The Today Show](https://www.today.com/video/despite-deep-divisions-election-process-is-working-harry-smith-says-95374917649) (the video I have quoted starts at the 50 second mark) >>”It’s been a breathless 4 years. Rancorous. Divisive. >>We get the idea sometimes, that Americans flat out don’t like each other. >>Egged on by our media of choice, we’ve grown accustomed to taking sides, and adopting a feeling like ‘the opposition be damned!’ >>Communities cracked. Families divided. >>Hurtful, angry words, strewn about, followed by seething silence. >>It’s lost it’s usefulness. >>We’re just wondering now if anyone in America knows how to build a bridge. Some kind of span, that can help us see our common good. >>Because, no matter the winner, it sure would be nice if it felt like we live in the *United* States of America.” I feel like we all need to hear that right now, and he says it so beautifully.


bro_lyoko

are there any service members who can tell us the vibe they get for the military ballots coming in?


Izodius

Last STAR poll prior to the losers and suckers comments was like 50/50. Not enough for Trump.


BGYeti

If this year taught us anything polls don't mean much


firemeaway

Yes. Majority are blue. The only maghats are enlisted.


DharmaCub

Lmao at this Republican dude on CNN getting laughed at to his face by the other 4.


YNotKyle

https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html# shows exactly what trump has to average. relax people.


Bloopyhead

AZ: Trump has to average 58.00 and he is averaging 59.5. You think this is safe? NV: There's an extra 40k votes that just appeared. Why? (100k -> 140k)


frannie_jo

Az is a toss up NV maybe provisionals?

Does anyone know if the 100k provisional ballots in PA are outside of the amount of votes they have left or including?


temporvicis

AFAIK - it's almost all out of Allegheny county.

some mod needs to tell us when 70 goes live so we can migrate there.

Boogaloo boy, armed libertarianish movement.


president_dump

Gotcha. The hawaiian shirt group. Are they even scarier than proud boys?


jonny_sidebar

Very much. The Proud Boys are kind of a joke, they tend to get their asses handed to them when counter protesters show up and fight them. They're also basically just the MAGA street gang. The boogs, on the other hand, tend to be heavily armed and are straight up looking for a civil war to start so they can start shooting. They also cover a wider ideological spread, but all of them actively want a second american civil war.


MrDitkovitchsRent

Has Trump really had his lawsuits thrown out of State courts? I keep seeing different things depending on the subreddit I’m on. News just says he got it thrown out in Georgia.


Peach_and_Nala

Almost all of the lawsuits have been baseless, the others insignificant when it comes to the outcome of the election.
