    I get it, you don't trust the states to make their own determinations. That's a you issue. ;)

    Some of these states went to Trump in a razor thin margin in 2016, yet it's utterly impossible to imagine the same thing happening in reverse.

    Head scratcher.

    Sorry - people did not reject republicans. They rejected a pig.

    Biden is a Blue Dog; he's very moderate. Stop pretending he's going to try and build a socialist Utopia.

    Democracy used to be us knowing the results, and not having reversals that totally outperform mathematical expectations. If I were running for office in 2022 or 2024, I would tell my poll workers to not only be on everything, but to make every possible contact you can. Now that Venezuela is our new norm, I don't trust the election process.

    Its enough.

    Biden is closing the gap in Pennsylvania.

    Likely a majority of at least 50,000.

    The publicized (by Trump Jr, et al) number of registered voters in Wisconsin was outdated - under by more than 500K. Also, the number's probably higher yet, as Wisconsin has same-day registration.

    Trump Jr et al also make a mistake in noting very high turn-out - clearly not understanding that the denominator in calculating turn out is all eligible voters, not registered voters.

    The Great American Experiment had a good run 1776 - 2021. Nothing lasts forever, so we can be thankful at least for 245 years of freedom and independence before dwindling to only half the country appreciating it.

    We keep telling you that they keep kicking the Republican observers out of the counting rooms, or blocking their view so they can't "observe". You are incorrect that every vote is being looked at by one person from each party.

    You keep forgetting that there has never been an election in recent history where all the ballots were counted on election day. In many states, it can take weeks to get the final total, due to their election rules. Nevada has always allowed mail in ballots to come in up to 10 days later, as long as they have a valid postmark.

    The hardest part of being patient, is the being patient part. This is all very normal; it's just that the margins are so thin, every ballot actually does matter.

    Biden is going on TV again, making a statement. Getting ready to be President but not claiming it yet.
    Not like the other guy...

    Where IS Trump?

    Hiding somewhere in a White House basement?

    No leader-ship, if he ever led. He's finished.

    The courts keep rejecting this claim due to lack of evidence. If it were happening, certainly there would be some sort of proof, don't you think? Nobody with a cell phone recorded an official saying, "You're a republican, GET OUT NOW!"

    Even with that, you're talking about an over 95% participation rate. For each and every one of the contested States. Take the blinders of the election off for a minute, we both know America. Those rates just don't happen. But they happened this time, and oddly enough they happened in the middle of the night.

    And not only this, but it comes as weeks before they 'warned'(more like predicted) of this scenario happening. Which is a part of my reaction, it was no coincidence, it was planned to happen in this way.

    It's your guy who want to use the courts to cancel a result he doesn't like... Just like Maduro did! Welcome to Trump Venezuela!

    You mean the guy who saw a 14 and a 8% lead vanish in the blink of an eye, while they stopped counting votes. And we're supposed to believe that so many Democrats voted in-mail so that we have PERFECT voting attendance.

    I would contest these results myself. The mathematical probability is simply improbable. Why do you think the Yuan was going down around 10 PM? When the election was happening in real time, the way the map looked, Trump was going to cruise to the Presidency.

    Then, this thing happened.

    Well, I can see this will be fun.

    I heard, "Not my president! Russia Russia Russia " for four years.

    Now it will be "Not my president! Venezuela/China Venezuela/China Venezuela/China " for four years.

    It will be a sunny day, indeed, when one team decides to step up, put on their big boy pants, and be the adult in the country.

    So far, no luck.

    No. It's not. It's been discussed for weeks. And weeks. And weeks. It was always a very real possibility. I can't believe I have to say this to you, but your inability to comprehend the how of it, doesn't change the fact that it can be.

    Pretty much. American laws, but not my President. I now know what the resistance feels like. Funny thing is, it's only the manner of this election that made it so. Had it been a normal election, I wouldn't feel this way. But now I'll aim to vote in 2022 and in 2024 to see to it that the Venezuelan President is a one term President.

    Well, you're just demonstrating that you're just as bad in math than you are at history...

    How am I bad at math?(We'll leave your ignorant history digs aside, as I have amply demonstrated my knowledge in history and just like other threads, this thread isn't the one for it.). Are you now contesting that the 14 and 8% leads at one point existed?

    It's very telling. Biden is comforting the nation on the pandemic and assuring us every vote matters. Meanwhile Trump is trying to sue states left and right.

    Your math is off.

    In Wisconsin, for example, turnout is just over 70% - about 5 points over 2016.

    And, if you've got Wisconsin wrong, no reason to believe you got the other states right.

    Especially the votes that as they say are 3, 5 days late but as "per the state rules", it counts! Again, why bother with an election date? The election can be whenever.

    In terms of direct voting and mail-in, the votes were very close to the registered number of voters.

    Now he's going federal...

    SNIP
    Trump campaign files federal lawsuit seeking to stop count in Philadelphia
    The Trump campaign is asking a federal judge to stop the vote count in Philadelphia.

    In a lawsuit filed Thursday afternoon, the campaign says the Philadelphia County Board of Elections is not yet obeying a state appeals court order to let observers get closer to the counting tables.

    “It has been studying the order for over an hour and a half, while counting continues with no Republicans present."

    They say this violates their right to due process and seek an emergency injunction to stop the count until Republican observers are allowed better access.
    ENDSNIP

    What's next?? The Hague?? The United Nations?? The Interplanetary Council??.

    That had that high in 2004 as well. It's not unheard of. Stop pretending fraud, fraud everywhere. Let the states handle their own ballots.

    You guys are going to sound like the loony left sounded on this board for the last four years. The democrats, and rightly so, will answer, "And THEN he'll be president," every time you claim fraud.

    Biden hasn't even won yet, and everyone is in a tizzy. I can't imagine how the poor staff at the WH residence are feeling right now. There must be a nonstop temper tantrum going on.
