Did not Republicans sue so that they couldn't?
It was one of those cluster situations where the Repubs and Dems couldn’t compromise enough. Issues with observers etc

In this case, I actually DO NOT think Arizona should be called for Biden yet. It's just too close. I don't consider Arizona in Biden's column just yet.
I fully agree, Arizona may well go for Trump.
I wasn’t clear, what I meant was the fact that Trumpsters are turning on Fox News speaks to where those supporters are aright now.

One of the takeaways from this election is going to be how well the Rs did, down-ballot.
They gained seats in the house, they kept the senate against polls.
The Rs were able to tag the Ds as ‘socialists’ and in favor of riots, and they will do it again in 2022. The Ds will be lucky to hold onto the house.
This analysis will not work if Ds win both GA runoffs and win the senate. Then it will be a disaster for Rs.

Ok, so you "dittoed" a falsehood. At least two others so far have said they want to hear what I have to say.
I haven't said it yet, by the way. Waiting for the right time.

I know it, you know it, everyone else knows it and more importantly Flagpole knows it - you will be peaking in to read his insights.

To be fair, it's not going to be some grand thing, just something that is deserved...but it's not time just yet. I just wanted to show earlier that I was here.

You need to look at the voting districts, percentage counted, and the percentage each candidate is getting.
Mohave is the largest Trump leaning (75% to 24%) and is 95% done, with 100,00 votes counted. So, 5,000 votes to count, and Trump gains 51% (75-24) of that and 2500 (51% x 5000) votes on Biden.
Coconino is the largest Biden leaning (62% to 36%) and is 87% done, with 65,000 votes counted. So, 10,000 votes to count, and Biden gains 26% of that and 2600 votes on Trump.
Phoenix is the largest voting district with Biden ahead (51% to 48%) and is 94% done, with 1,83,000 votes counted. So, 226,000 votes to count, and Biden gains 3% of that on Trump, or 7000 votes on Trump.
Pima is a large Biden voting district with Biden ahead (59% to 39%) and is 89% done, with 485,000 votes counted. So, 60,000 votes to count, and Biden gains 20% of that on Trump, or 12,000 votes.
The above projection is Biden-2500 + 2600 +7000 + 12,000, netting +19,000 on Trump.
The student is left to do the other voting districts themselves. But they are smaller voting blocks, and they are mostly counted, and won't make much difference overall. And this is why Arizona has been called for Biden because the swing required to overcome the lead is not in the right type of voting districts for Trump. His biggest districts are 100% complete with their counts (Yuvapi, Gila, and Cochise).

Think of it like this. The average level of intellect is average yes, but probably pretty stupid. Then realize that half our population is more stupid
CORRECT! This is something I have been educated about during Trump's reign. I really had NO IDEA that racism was so prevalent and that stupidity was so widespread in our country. I now know why that is. I am an educated person. All of my friends are educated. I have friends who are of many different races, and I live in an enlightened liberal area of Ohio that accepts all of them. My immediate neighbors are first-generation immigrants from Germany, South Korea, and India, and Portugal, professionals all of them. I knew, of course, that not EVERYONE was like my friends, neighbors, and me, but I have LEARNED that nearly half the country is either JUST stupid or racist. It is very sad to learn that.
I had to end one friendship during this Trump time when he and I got into a discussion of race following his comment that Obama wasn't the first black president because he was half white. Basically, he meant (and confirmed) that if Obama were "100% black" that he would not have been talented enough to become President. I do not remain friends with racists, and I told him to go pound sand. More white people should do that when other white people feel comfortable saying racist things to them. It's unacceptable.
I would venture to say there are also a fair amount of educated people who are racists. At least in every way that matters. Basically educated people who still just want to stick to the old fashioned ways.

Nah. I skip right by his posts. He's just a windbag.

I think we do have to acknowledge that many people deeply resent affirmative action.
They feel they never got anything in their life but they have to sacrifice to let a black guy get a gift. It’s a real resentment. If affirmative action went away I wonder how many more people would vote for dems
FP--what you're waiting for--it wouldn't be THE WORLD'S BIGGEST "I TOLD YOU SO" by any chance, would it? Said just once, and then moving on?
Not that that wouldn't be completely deserved . . .

The "what about me?" complex with white men....particularly those who came of age prior to about 1985. In my experience the level of education doesn't particularly matter.

Yeah, it is likely Biden will win AZ. I'm just being conservative here.

There ARE many educated people who are racist too. I agree...they just aren't friends of mine. The dude I ended my friendship with is highly educated. He's just a racist, and I don't accept racists.
