Official Election 2020 Doomsday Thread

[Peasant]

Dems better discover a whole lotta mail in ballots in PA. Philly's at 50% reported and while Biden has a great lead in those counties, it's not going to be nearly enough to offset the nearly 700 thousand lead Trump currently has in the state.

What happened to VA? Longshot hopes got dashed?

Cities and northern Virginia always pop in later than the other counties, and are always blue bastions.

By over 15 points?

Doubt it, Fox shows Trump with a 680k vote lead. And some of those mail-in votes have been counted already, Philly released some early in the evening and some around midnight.

 

[WeDon'tNeedToWhisper]

Trump is now the projected winner in Texas.

Also, Wisconsin and the other states siting on a shit ton of mail in ballots say they will take their time counting the votes. In other words: we do what we want, fuck off.

 

[LawTwitter is Dumb]

No. What happens is that Congress uses a convoluted process to try to generate a winner: President-elect is determined by whoever can get a 26-state majority of house of representative delegations (that is, if a state has 5 Reps, then if you get 3 of them to vote for one person, then the state counts for that person). VP-elect is 51 Senators, sitting VP can't break ties. All these votes happen after the newly elected Congress gets seated. If there's no President-elect, the VP-Elect becomes President on January 20th. If neither, then we get Acting President Nancy Pelosi.

Well that boring as hell.

My timeline is full of hard cope but even the copers are pissed Georgia hasn't been called yet.

If we end up shooting at each other I regret it. Sorry.

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely as they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

God save the Republic. To arms.

If the early vote advantage is 2-1 in favor of Biden maybe.

I just wanted to say here that the moon scared the shit out of me
I wouldn't be surprised if it covered the entire screen tomorrow

 

[Eris!]

Those of you who doubt our God Emperor, know that he will forgive you as Jesus forgave Saint Peter for denying him.

 

[draggs]

Republicans will go to friendly federal judges literally tomorrow and get injunctions to have no mail-in ballots counted without lawyers present. Then they will start fighting about disqualifying ballots (or not) because 8 million reasons

2000 all over again in multiple states

Shit's gonna be awesome

What happened to VA? Longshot hopes got dashed?

Early voting/mail in being counted last, and northern Virginia might as well be a separate state named Northern Virginia with how much it tends to differ from the rest of the state. I can't be assed to look up the exact numbers, but over a million votes were cast early/by mail, mostly in high population, democrat heavy counties. That's why some places were willing to call the state from the start despite the in person numbers.

 

[ScatmansWorld]

Why do I keep seeing people mention “poles” in this thread? The fuck does Poland have to do with any of this?

 

[Bland Crumbs]

If the early vote advantage is 2-1 in favor of Biden maybe.

That explains why Wolf suspended counting...

[Titty Figurine]

If everyone literally having a literal heart attack right now would just hurry up and have it we might not actually need the suicide suggestion line.

Christ, the handwringing.

 

[Absolutego]

AZ remains my biggest surprise. I guess Maricopa/Tucson has finally grown enough to outweigh the rest of teh state. Razorfist's inevitable spergout is sure to be entertaining.

GAS GAS GAS

It Begins:

MUST. MAKE. JOE. WIN.

 

[RudeRoasts]

So hang on - if we assume that at 73%, most of the votes were mail-ins (so to be conservative, let's say 70%) in Arizona, how would only 36% of Pennsylvania's votes be mail in, less than half compared to AZ?

A 17% lead at this rate can't tumble down completely without a real side eye.
