Either the reporting mechanisms broke down across multiple states, including the usual data feeds going out on Election Day itself, or there's huge amounts of fraud going on.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, however it's basically impossible for it to be the case where we have both a clean election and a well-run, properly reported democratic system.

I could buy this happening legitimately if it was happening across the board and randomly impacting results.

The fact that ALL of it is helping Biden is VERY suspicious.

Actually, no. There the ruling party declares victory very quickly. The opposition party getting away with cheating only happens in a very weak society, not an autocratic one.

What do you think about the likelihood of Biden declaring victory tonight?

Definitely think they're going try to put a lid of this, and all newspapers will run tomorrow with Biden's 'victory speech'.

IDK. I think one of the bigger reasons the election in 2000 was more hotly contested was because the Internet was in its infancy and couldn't sleuth out any possible fraud going on.

And because Dubya was uniparty-approved, in an age where the Uniparty had pretty much everything under their thumbs. The Dem bigwigs aren't/weren't as salty about it as the media or Dem base.

welp it looks like the retards at the pentagon are going to jfk trump or just start a civil war/coup and now were just getting tons of filmed voter fraud and chicanery being committed en masse and its so blatant they had to backpedal with typos and accidentally handing votes form one side to the other

The thing about voter fraud is that it's done by desperate people under severe time constraints. It's not out of the question some of this will get found out and reversed.

Honestly she says she's happy that she doesn't have to back to work until December. So she doesn't have to hear the liberal nurses( she had a minor stroke a mouth ago, she's getting better)

What's the best site to follow for tracking right now?
Click to expand...
If you look into it, you'll see that most of sites people are using have just created little web apps to display data that they're getting from a handful of sources (mostly the Associated Press). These sites differ because their respective newsrooms feel like they should to "add value" by exerting editorial discretion, i.e. making their own calls/fucking things up.

Generally, these sites are just parroting the AP, so you can just use apnews.com if you want the best combination of officialness and recency. Otherwise just pick a website with a map you like.

It's kind of like asking "Which is the best channel to watch the presidential debates?" They're all showing more or less the same thing with added bullshit commentary. Going to the AP is like watching the debate on C-SPAN.

They had literally MONTHS to get mail-in ballots in. Anyone who can't be bothered to get their ballot mailed on time does not deserve a say in any level of government. Everything from homework assignments to mortgage payments to taxes has a hard-and-fast due date.

Well, that used to be the case, but now we know deadlines and time limits are racist.

This is what I'm trying to get across to my brain. Even with the amount of voter fraud going on, to say that nothing could possibly fuck up from the high chain to the low chain is naive. Like sure the brass may know what they're doing but Nicky doing the gruntwork will probably fuck up like he did his college education.

Not going to fraud REEEEE yet but these numbers are sus as fuck. Even if Biden really was Ridin' on the mail-ins it shouldn't be a 100% thing. If anything this highlights electoral flaws in general and will probably be another nail in the coffin for trust in media. Republicans and Democrats are calling this whole thing a sham - twitterati not withstanding. 2000 Bush v. Gore 2: Electoral Boogaloo.


Current silver linings as I see them:

Trump win - Republicans have enough political capital to stymie any Democrat schemes - get some things of their own through, the media and Big Tech get brought to task (hopeful but dubious), a focus on lifting covid restrictions and strengthening the economy (likely), good foreign policy (likely), Democrats are forced to realign their platform (dubious).

Biden win - Republicans still stymie the Democrats' more ludicrous schemes but certain things may get rammed through, potential for student loan debt forgiveness (dubious), Democrats try something so outlandish it kills them in midterms or 2024 (likely), energizing of the Republican base to try even harder in midterms/2024 (plausible).

Both scenarios - Supreme Court is safe (for now), further decline of media trust, more vigilant electorate, political impetus for electoral reform.

Regardless of outcome, we need to decouple elections from the media. Media delanda est.

Edit: Nate Hydrogen eternally BTFO, lmao at Blue Mississippi.
