Election Night (+4) in America - Result: Biden Elected President (10 Viewers)

I'll probably be flipping between CNN, NBC, and probably PBS if they have coverage.

What station you got?

Absent some clear evidence of widespread fraud there is no chance in hell they go beyond a random consideration of it.

Yeah, just interpreting my understanding of the Constitution. I was typing while MT was posting the tweet.

 

[gummbo]

Don't know if it's unconstitutional or not, but if they try that there WILL be a civil war.

Then they’ll realize that even liberals own guns

 

[GrandAdmiral]

I thought i read we’d know tonight from PA or something, so wouldnt any AZ announcement tomorrow be moot?

Probably would have, but they stopped counting for a moment after Trump filed another lawsuit.

Lol, Alex Jones has just shown up at the protest in Arizona.

I'm sorry, it slipped my mind earlier.


Alex Jones is perhaps the biggest moron on the face of the earth.

I thought the last batch was from Maricopa County and there are roughly 100,000 votes there left. That is the Trump stronghold county.

AZ counties are huge! I can’t believe they have a county that Includes a major city in it but the county is so big that the city doesn’t massively dominate the county’s politics like most major cities do.

Any other updates expected tonight?

 

[RebSaint]

If there’s 169 tie, it goes to the House. Yes, it’s happened before. In 1824.

We are in 2020. I'm not sure of anything.

To be sure, the Republican majority leader in the PA state legislature stated unequivocally that they won't overturn the popular vote. So, it's not happening.

You're getting warmer.

No, I think you are 100% correct - they can do it. I am just saying that that legislative body or ones in Wisconsin/Michigan/Arizona/Georgia will not make such an incredibly huge move without overwhelming evidence of widespread fraud. And even then I am not sure any of them do it - they will want to defer to courts.

I might be a minority on this board in this respect, but I think our process works and nothing like such a radical move - even though permitted - will happen absent incredibly egregious proof - which is so unlikely to be produced as to be "impossible"

So if Biden wins, and the new AG decides to prosecute Trump and he is convicted. Does the secret service agent go to jail with him?

Well then, maybe Fox was too soon. I'm pretty shocked at this, but, even if Trump flips AZ, he's still a long way from being where he needs to be.

But, I hope this isn't a 28-3 event in the wrong direction.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

PA and GA will continue to report through the night. AZ won't don't another one until noon EST tomorrow IIRC.

 

[Poison]

GA down to 1775 differential.

I sure hope there are enough votes there for Joe to squeak past.

I don't know, but, I think and suspect Biden will rather want to move on from the Trump news cycle. I don't know how he'll handle it, but it probably will depend on who he chooses as an AG.

 

[Maxp]

Clayton Co has over 4000 votes left to count.

I was being a bit facetious. But the hypothetical of a secret agent assign to former president even if he's in prison is interesting to consider.
