Duzzy Funlop posted:Hang on, going by the update on FOX' own website: Yeah, he has Arizona so he doesn't need MI, WI AND PA, like Trump did to beat Hilary. Michigan and Wisconsin (plus I think a Nebraska electoral college vote he'll get for winning one of it's congressional districts) are enough to get him over the finish line.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Where's FOX getting that 95% chance to win for Biden in MI from? I'm confused Most of the outstanding votes are early/absentee ballots from Detroit and the Detroit suburbs, which are going to be overwhelmingly Democratic. e: so really my vote saved the country, you're welcome nation

*frantically pouring 2-stroke into the Schadenfreude Machine* If anyone needs me, I'll be going through the smug facebook tags from broke brained idiots over the past 12-16 hours and figuring out who gets a visual of my dick and balls, from the back, once the Lying Liberal Media start to call it for Biden, inshallah. It's not going to make anything better for y'all, but holy poo poo not having President Trump is going to shove so many cooked right wing shitheads back under the rug over here in ANZAC land.

Trump was never going to concede, even with a blue wave. The dems will have to have a plan for that, because he's pathologically incapable of accepting a loss.

270 To Win now has an interactive map where you can play with the remaining clinching scenarios: https://www.270towin.com/news/2020/11/04/presidential-election-undecided-remaining-paths-270-electoral-votes_1123.html (edit- Assuming Biden wins Arizona and Nevada and Trump wins Alaska, Biden wins the whole thing with any two remaining states and/or NC/WI/ME-2.)

Not entirely sure what there is to be smug about even if Biden wins. A squeaker in this election says, "Hey we're FINE with the fash, just stop being so loud about it." The democrats will learn nothing because they obtained the presidency and we'll end up we'll end up with a string of 1 term Bluedog-Dem/Repub/Bluedog-Dem presidents and no shifting in congress until the fash get real froggy or Global warming does the needful.

While it look like Biden can get to 270, I gotta admit I'm real worried about a faithless elector scenario. If that happens it'll be a loving mess.

Nobody is under that illusion for Joe. Honestly I've been wondering lately how much of Obama's turn out in the 08 primary was just anti-Hillary sentiment. Sure there was his messaging which was optimistic and inclusive and for some the novelty of being able to vote for a black man for president but I think a good chunk of it was really just people hating Hillary Clinton.

One thing the Arizona Biden turnout has taught us is that Americans really will change their vote because someone teased them on the internet (or their respected former senator).

If they quit insisting on running Republican-lites, they wouldn't have to. They could win if they actually ran as something resembling progressive hard enough to pick any of a slate of fixes to the system that actually made elections more fair and democratic which would secure control for the rest of all our lifetimes, but they're too stupid to do that.

2020: Biden wins and somehow managed to get Trump to go. GOP wins the Senate. 2021: The Covid recession finally hits. Voters blame Biden. 2022: The GOP takes the House. Biden is stymied at every turn. Any new Supreme Court openings locked shut by the Senate. 2024: Trump is uncontested in the GOP primary. He wins the presidential election with a blowout legislative victory. Supreme Court shifts 7-2. Then 8-1.

While I want to think that a different Dem candidate would have done better, I still think this election is more indicative of how pervasive the rot in the American electorate is. They're on a completely different plane of reality such that we're now stuck hoping that conservative news media and political leaders finally refuse to indulge Trump's incipient authoritarianism. poo poo's hosed.

We'll know more later today but TL;DR is that this number is reflective of scanning and that to make the deadlines, the USPS by-passed their normal scanning procedures to get the ballots in under the deadline. The result are these scanning numbers that look like stuff wasn't delivered but was. The VICE article has the details on the process the USPS undertook. All that said, looks like the Judge is going to allow the USPS to sweep facilities that pop up like this for ballots (with independent observers present).
