Good God, if Trump can pull this off and I'm drunk enough, I might just name my next kid after him.
John.

The optimistic side of me would like to think that the Arizona results are taking forever because they want to make sure they are 100% accurate.

That side of me is smothered with a pillow by the realist side of me.

 

[Kane Lives]

that is true, but my point still stands. I also heard that this is highest voter turnout in years. Is that true?

More people "voted" for Biden than either Hillary or Obama. So yes.

 

[X Prime]

that is true, but my point still stands. I also heard that this is highest voter turnout in years. Is that true?

Yes. Three points:

1) Turnout was generally 60-65% or so.
2) Exceptions are the two heavily contested states, Wisconsin and Michigan, which is 85% or so.
3) One of those two above has weird stuff going on where wards have 200% their registered voters showing up.

I saw nothing that showed 200%, but I did see up to 125% voter turnout. Which is... supremely unlikely, even in states with same day registration.

You are spot on for the higher turnout average.

 

[Foltest]

I find it intrestting to see that Trump got more votes from the latino and black voting block then previous.

I expect something like the last drop from Maricopa being like 80-20 Biden just as a "fuck you."

You?

I still can't believe they said that.
Obeezy and Hilldawg must be fuming that everyone else is being thrown under the bus, demerited, and covered up for Xing Joe. Fucking Joe.

That man must've had a mighty wang 40 years ago to be fucking the DNC into such servitude.

As an outsider to US poltices, this show how broken the voting system is in a lot of states. It shouldn't take days to count the votes.

I mean, where I live, all ballots, absentee, mail or otherwise, have to be delivered to polling places before any counting can take place. Adding late-arrival ballots are a violation of the election laws.

I saw this:

I don't think they'll do another 100, it was caught once and twice and doing it in Arizona would be proof enough as is. What I'd suspect is they are counting all their ballots, hence why its taking so long, and trying to math out exactly how much they can get away with.

Surely someone would squeal at that point though, they are being watched like hawks.

Individual wards do have legitimate reasoning, so if there is fraud here they'd need to call up individuals. Its more likely to get several families together who decided to same day register than a bunch of strangers.

It IS facial unreasonable, but technically statistically possible.

I just wish it was a darker than of this eye-searing neon blue. God damn dude at least slap it down to a navy blue or something!

Reminds me of Cherenkov radiation from exposed reactor core as graphite rains down around me and the plant manager, a party man, yells how none of this is happening, I am delusional and spreading unconfirmed rumors which will undermine the public's confidence in the glorious socialist system as his face melts off.

It is very apt.

Truly a third world country.

There is a reason I said how much they can get away with. The protesters should keep at it, ensure that new votes cannot be added. This likely is also delaying it as they hope to have a window of opportunity.

Ironically, I think FOX calling it early might have fucked the plan. They assumed it would be safe and unneeded with Penn, Mich, and Wis locked down. But Trump massively overperformed in Penn and their fix there might not hold.

Man, if that's true, the registered Dem who made that call (slimy looking guy if I recall) may become the most hated man in America second only to DJT himself.

America Is Eerily Retracing Rome’s Steps to a Fall. Will It Turn Around Before It’s Too Late?

Two thousand years ago, the famous Republic had a chance to reject a dangerous populist. It failed, and the rest is history.

"b-b-b-but Drumpf is Caeser and he ruined the glorious Roman Republic!"

I don't have the greatest knowledge of Rome, but IRC by the time that Caeser was around the senate had become rotten to the core. It was a bunch of rich and powerful nobles making themselves richer and more powerful. Caeser's actions and eventual death, lead to the time of Augustus and started the Pax Romana. Stick to the Hitler comparisons

Pretty much, and Mark Anthony and Brutus were supposed to be his allies before one (literally) stabbed him in the back and the other held an uneasy alliance with the senators who murdered their greatest general.

Anthony would later burn a lot of his political will because of this compromise while Augustus built his quite rapidly, leading to the civil wars (due to Caesar's popularity among the legions and retired soldiers).

The thing to remember is, Augustus only got the Emperor's chair after 12 years of civil war and the near lawlessness of the capital, even then the Senate still tried to keep what power they could, and he even took the title "First Citizen" for a while in order to keep up the veneer of the Republic for a while.

They've not killed Trump, and he has no obvious political heirs that could whip up the necessary support in the future.

Explain to a peasant like me why Fox foxing it up is that bad for their plans.
Won't normies just see it as an innocent mistake, especially when compared to fuck ups like GA?

Why are you pretending like that would matter, at all?
