So let's say 500 show up in time. Even if Trump gets 75% of them, that only nets him 250 votes.

Fats, I think you must be very tired.

Well, that wouldn't be like me, because after the election in 2016, I DID admit I was wrong to say Trump had ZERO chance to win. I was wrong, BUT with the caveat that I DID say he couldn't cheat. He DID cheat (he is Individual-1 to prove that).

To be fair to Rigged, IF Biden is found to have cheated, then, even though Rigged never mentioned it, I would not hold his feet to the fire about getting this call wrong. There has to be PROOF of the cheating though that is confirmed like it was with Trump in 2016.

It’s pretty obvious that Trump wasn’t going to win. There have only been 5 instances in which a candidate lost the popular vote but won the election. 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016.

Only in 2004 did Bush win re-election. It’s statistically improbable for any president to lose the popular vote in the first election and win two terms

Yeah, but that metric is becoming useless. So useless that Allan Lichtman no longer says his 13 keys predict the popular vote getter. The reason is that California and New York are just so populous...just skews the popular vote too much.

Even if Biden ends up getting 306 EC votes, it was still a close election.

Yep. You and Racket have this correct. It's unfortunate, but that's the state of politics today. I'll take regular politics though over the nonsense we have been subjected to under Trump.

Why? He's right.

If Trump gets 75% of 500 he gets 375, which means Biden gets 125 (disregarding 3rd parties for simplicity).

This is a difference of 250 votes which is what he'll gain.

Yeah, I know you were being facetious.

But unfortunately(?) the forecast in NYC is for clear skies and high temps in the 60s, right through the weekend. Assuming there's a definitive call for a winner in the presidential race, the "party" may be...boisterous.

In walking around Greenwich Village/Chelsea/Midtown, I've seen huge swatches of boarded-up buildings. (Even Macy's!) Some of them housed businesses that failed earlier this year, and have had boards up for a while; other boards are brand-new (you can smell the new-sawn wood).

Carpentering crews started working on Monday; some worked through the night into Tuesday, I believe; and the boarding up has continued through the week. (The same crews are also building many more sidewalk shelters for restaurants: You can hear the sawing and hammering all day, followed by the sound of helicopters all night long.) Fifth and Sixth and Madison Avenues and Broadway (might as well call it Boardway) just look bleak, and even the huge "We're open!" signs on the stores that have survived don't dispel the gloom.

No matter who ends up winning the presidency, and even if an effective corona vaccine arrives in the spring, 2021 is going to be a bleak year. And if Biden wins, the Republicans will do whatever they can to *keep* things bleak into 2022, so the Dems can be blamed and the GOP can have a 2010-style sweep in the elections that fall.

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking of a different sense of "nets." I was wrong.

I sure hope he does, but you can bet he'll change his handle.

Be afraid trumpers, be very afraid of those scary liberals!

The trouble with you line of thinking is thay is plays into Rigs hands and validates conspiracy theorist reasoning. Yes the Russians interferred, yes Trump pulled a lot of dirty tricks but he didn’t cheat in the sense of fiddling the ballot. Which is where most people draw the line on what actually constitutes cheating. The rest is simply overreach. We’ll never know if the Russian interference was effective for example.

Anyone understand why NV and AZ are taking so long? Is it because they continue accepting ballots that were postmarked by the 3rd? And what's happening with NC? It hasn't had any additional votes trickle into the count. I am seriously concerned Rs will start to get violent if there isn't some faster closure here.

Also, are these election sites secure enough? I'm not talking some rent-a-cops. Tzees are armed and dangerous. What happens if they break in and burn down the place?

glad to see the NYT putting the word 'lies' in a headline.

Quick analysis:

Heroes:

1. Sensible Democratic primary voters who stuck with Biden rather than going with Sanders or Warren – I don’t see the other two winning, especially not Warren.

2. Abrams and Co., working to increase voter turnout in GA.

3. Biden’s campaign, ignoring twitter and running the Tom Dewey #2 playbook. Look normal and let the lunatic run amok. Risky but it seems justified.

4. The Biden/Bacon Rockefeller Republicans in Omaha (and elsewhere) who sealed the deal and prevented the possibility of an EC tie. Conservatives, but those who will not swallow a narcissistic authoritarian.

5. The prodigal sons and daughters who took a flyer on Trump last time but came home.

6. Mitt Romney, who concretely pushed back against Trump this year, not just tut-tutting like some of the others (see below).

Villains:

1. Trump.

2. People who voted for Trump.

3. His cronies and minions, especially Barr, Giuliani, and Miller.

4. McConnell, who evidently grew up wanting to be the world’s most powerful hall monitor.

5. Lindsey Graham / Ted Cruz / Ben Sasse. I hate those guys. Graham especially, the senior senator from the Cradle of Treason, the nation’s preeminent bootlicker of evil. They all know better.

Dancing is apparently a favorite activity of the socialists who are destroying America. Who can forget this:

You might be wondering about North Carolina and Alaska, two unprojected states that we haven’t heard a peep from in days. Well, there’s a good reason for that: Both states accept absentee ballots that arrive as late as next week, and they won’t provide any updates until Nov. 10 (in Alaska) and Nov. 12 or 13 (in North Carolina). In fact, Alaska hasn’t released any absentee-ballot results yet, so that state (and its surprisingly competitive Senate race) is still up in the air.

if only trumpism were gone forever.
