So tell me how this can play out.
The big orange idiot loses but he declared fraud; which he’s been loudly hinting at for months.
It goes to the courts, and all the way up to the Supreme Court? Where it’s a republican majority. So they can legally just hand him victory?
Please don’t tell me this is the game plan or that it’s even possible.
- We're doomed, totally doomed if a conservative court leaned that way in complete denial of logic and law.mg33
- States are responsible for their own certification. Not sure what the argument would be to toss votes.mathinc
- If only the supposedly 'most advanced' nation on earth had a voting system that wasn't different in every state.PhanLo
- Nah the SC judges aren't idiots, they won't "hand" anyone anything. You can't just take something to the SC, you need a case. Trump is weak.nb
- Nah, he's done, whatever he says now, nobody is taking him seriously anymore...grafician

Philly's Ballot-Counting Livestream Is the Only Thing Worth Watching Today
Take a deep breath, and enjoy democracy at work.

Prediction:
After winning the election, Biden resigns "for health reasons" as early as Feb 2021; Kamala Harris becomes president.
Pete Buttigieg is the new Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense.

Mind blown at how close this all is.
Democrats, take heed. You were up against an absolute dogshit of a president... You battled an incumbent in the worst year anyone can fucking remember and you're MAYBE going to barely sneak in a win here.
Time for a new perspective because right now America is not on your side.

Meanwhile, the Democrat advantage in the house of Reps is vanishingly thin, and it's seems unlikely they'll take the senate. So, even if Biden does win, he'll essentially be a lame duck president, because nothing he wants to enact (sans executive order, that is) will ever get past congress or the SC.
- i'll take the win... popular vote plus electoral win gives a mandate... we can begin removing trump appointeesjonny_quest_lives
- sec def, sec state, retool for 2022 midterms... McConnell could easily take a dirt nap in two yearsjonny_quest_lives
- And hope to god that the 2022 mid-terms unblock congress, I suppose.Continuity
- at the minimum biden presidency brings in a fresh wave of competent professionals to oversee our government.jonny_quest_lives
- yeah, just removing his name from the headlines would be a good startSteveJobs
- look at the damage trump did with what you define as a "lame duck" scenario...jonny_quest_lives
- The senate will have to wait 2 years.zarkonite
- It is the practice for the attorney general, along with the other Cabinet secretaries and high-level political appointees of the president, to give resignationjonny_quest_lives
- with effect on the Inauguration Day (January 20) of a new president.
That alone is worth it...jonny_quest_lives - Its just funny how the scenario you describe above is Trump's Presidency from 2018-2020... And he ran this shit off the railsjonny_quest_lives

The US gets what it pays for, not what it deserves.
In a country where money screams louder than anything else it's no surprise that an incompetent, reality TV star, thief and bankruptee is in charge.
Where is your integrity? (and it's not on a farm with Randy Marsh)
- Uhhh the Democrats spent nearly double on the election than Republicans did. So...nb
- and intellectual elite still does not realize the reason why they lose elections while calling the less educated in all sorts of humiliating names.sted
- @nb My point is general and applies the whole fucking shit show Reps and Dems alike. A country where the NRA is as powerful politically as it is and ...Morning_star

Don't forget Trump told his people to vote twice and some of them definitely did!
- SteveJobs0
- That will be 270.SteveJobs
- Historically, NV is a blue state, so despite 67% reporting, it should stay that way.SteveJobs
- yup, its what we're counting on and why Trump is suing to stop the counting in Michigan_niko
- nyt: 200k ballots remain in georgia from left leaning areas. michigan will also be close like wisconsin.dorf
- If those are mail in ballots then it could swing to blueSteveJobs

Trump has 214 now, even if he gets the rest of his states, 54 EC's, that puts him at 268. If Biden gets the rest of his, he's at 248 currently, his remaining are 22, that puts him at 270!!
COME ONNNNNNNN!!
- and biden will win the popular vote as well_niko
- but still man, so close a 50-50 country pretty much_niko
- Trump's already suing Michigan and wants a recount in Wisconsin. Everyone knew the orange hammer was going to come down, haha. This is going to take forever.toemaas
- Gotta keep an eye on NV too though, he's only up by like 8K votes!toemaas
- a hollow victory for now if Republicans hold the senate, house and Supreme court._niko
- If Trump wants a re-count, he should get the help of his supporters, what with their 20 fingers and 20 toes it'll go by much quicker._niko
- They'll just be like "Recount complete, you had 902 gazillion votes, herr Trumpf!"elahon
- The only votes left to count in GA are where Biden is scoring 60+%, it looks like he's going to take it. I think Biden ends up with 286 votes.zarkonite
