He wasn't backed by them in 2016, I still struggle to see them keeping him off the ballot if he chooses to run again. He is incredibly popular with the base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just why is Pennsylvania taking so long to count the postal votes when four more populous states (plus Illinois which is only marginally less populous) declared ages ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'm off to bed-- it's clear that Biden is going to win - reckon it will be Pennsylvania that puts him over tomorrow morning our time.Georgia will still have military and overseas votes to do plus the supplementary votes - those where someone voted and forgot ID but can fill in a form to check they are who they say they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past him to start his own cable channel and a new AMERICA FIRST party to campaign for it with massive support of numpties. Looks like stalemate in Washington with a Republican Senate for two years at least. Sadly he could be back. We've been in an alternative Universe since 2014.

roman_bairn Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just why is Pennsylvania taking so long to count the postal votes when four more populous states (plus Illinois which is only marginally less populous) declared ages ago?I do think the inconsistencies in approach by states, and the time it takes to count votes inflames the situation and gives Trump time to build up ammunition to shoot at them. Even if his efforts are pretty poor.Why do they accept postal votes after closing of the polls? They have had weeks and weeks prior to vote tbh.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Lead down to 58286 in Pennsylvania. Now 57844 as I type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

States are declared by the media when they're sure they know what the result will be - that doesn't mean they've finished counting. Illinois is actually well behind Pennsylvania, at 86%. California has only counted 77% so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida were dealing with them 5 weeks before election day eg validation processes etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming as long as they had a postmark before a cut-off date then they would still count even if they arrived the day after the polls closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The postmark validates the franchise.But not in every state.And again, you can see how Trump can try to build a case based on smudged postmarks.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Pennsylvania were not allowed to deal with postal votes until in-person votes were counted. But the reverse in Ohio for example and I’m guessing in Arizona too given Trump is making ground. Of course, nothing to see there in Trumps eyes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the state of the right-wing controlled newspapers and Sky we have here I'm glad we don't have that system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two thirds of the population of Illinois resides in the Chicagoland area, where there are no Republican representatives in any form of government whatsoever. It’s just a case of weighing the bag the ballots come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's appointee at the US Postal Service started openly making moves to slow down delivery for the election. So Democrats fought to extend the time that postal votes could be accepted. Meanwhile Republicans fought against them being counted before election day, thus the current shitfest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
