US Election 2020

If I'm remembering the breakdown right, if the Dems win Pennsylvania and Nevada, Trump has to win every remaining state (about 5?). So the Dems only need two states, and Trump needs about five.

No fat-shaming, please

You can't have Wagner without fat ladies singing...

Maybe it's when the orange man-lady sings.

Pennsylvania and Nevada would give Biden another 26 votes. He needs 32 to get him over the line. He is trailing in Georgia by 102,823 out of about 5 million votes, but with 94% already counted the mailed ones need to have a very healthy Dem majority.

Ok. He's going to get an extra one from a seat in Maine too. Early indications on mail in and pre votes are going 3 to 1 to Biden vs Trump. If Pennsylvania follows that, Biden will win it easily. Not sure how that breaks down in Georgia. But Casey Briggs on the ABC has pointed out that the remaining ballets in Georgia are focussed around Atlanta which has so far gone strongly Dem. I'm almost quietly confident Biden will get it.

What about all those ballots that the US Postal Service dumped in a creek?

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington ordered the sweep Tuesday morning after the Postal Service said its delivery performance had dropped over the past five days and could not say whether more than 300,000 ballots received in its facilities had been delivered.

The sweep was to happen in 12 postal districts, including in battleground states Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

One of our NE congressional districts goes Biden. An actual elector.

The third district is ranchers. There is no city over 50 000 there. There IS Colorado next door, where you go get your abortions, tattoos and weed.

The popular vote winner gets the other two electors, so Trump gets 4.

Can we find out soon? No. Both MI and PA were not able to count mailed in votes before the election day. MI is running about 49/49 now. There is a route for Biden to win without PA:

Mississippi Trusts in God now.

Mississippi will fly a new state flag with a magnolia and the phrase “In God We Trust,” with voters approving the design Tuesday. It replaces a Confederate-themed flag state lawmakers retired months ago as part of the national reckoning over racial injustice.

The magnolia flag was the only design on the general election ballot, and voters were asked to say yes or no. A majority said yes.
