The 2020 General Election Thread

[ChristianPatriot]

Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, Arizona ... PA is absolutely critical for Biden. He can't win without winning PA. Even if Biden takes PA, if Trump wins those others I listed Biden will also need to sweep Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan.

Winning PA has been only one of several scenarios that give Trump a victory. It's the only way to victory for Biden.

Arizona not looking good for Trump right now

Lindsey Graham retained his senate seat.

I was looking at @realJamesWoods on twitter, he is functioning as a kind of clearing house. Poll watchers representing President Trump being denied access to polls in North Philly, voting machines down in widely separated places in the state that just happen to be Trump strongholds etc. Seems like PA was the state they decided to pull out all the stops in

Arizona not looking good for Trump right now

Every single one of my quotes are staying...

Seems like most states are counting early votes first, heavily slanted toward blue.

Red is playing catch up.

I was feeling super nervous around 8:30. Feeling pretty hopeful right now.

Isn't Pennsylvania the state in which they don't match the signature on the ballot to the signature on the voting rolls?
That gives a big advantage to those practicing voter fraud. Which party has said they have to win by any means necessary?

Don Jr. on Louder with Crowder right now.

yes, no postmark required, 3d after election OK, nd no signature match required

this means pure fraud

Especially if Trump wins PA

It's not manipulating, it's just being thorough.

I worked in broadcast news for 10 years and sat in production meetings when topics like this were discussed.

What channel?

Maybe I'm naive, but I figured iowa would be red. Am I totally wrong in this thinking?

AP just turned Iowa pink...

 

[mmpsteve]

But I still want it. I want a victory so decisive there can be no question of who won - and i want a popular vote win, too, to shut the whiners up. I want them to get nothing!

Sounds like something Woody Hayes might have said. Even as a Tide fan, I can appreciate that.

What channel?

Radio and TV in a few different markets. Mostly local affiliates, but have I've worked in both conservative and liberal leaning media companies. This includes the biggest news talk radio station in the state and one of the top Indy TV affiliates.

So as it stands now, ~6am, Wisconsin turned back to blue. Probably Trump loses that. Trump leads in Nevada by 700 votes. Doubtful though that he’ll win Nevada. So basically Trump has to win MI, PA, NC, and Georgia to break 270. And that’s quite possible. But still more likely Biden wins one or two of those. At this point the odds favor Biden, especially if the dead rise to vote Democrat in the numbers expected.

NBC still showing WI as undecided.

It’s undecided, yes. But at one point Trump was way ahead. The urban districts tend to take longer to count so I kinda think Biden’s numbers will grow faster than Trump’s.

I think Trump has a better chance in GA and NC than WI at this point.

This isn't really much different than 2016 I don't think. You expect Dems to do well in most of the east/NE states, but then it starts moving across the country as the polls close in different time zones. There's a lot of red there. The swing states will probably matter, but some of those are looking good. But it is still MAJORLY early.

More like 2000 than 2016, but similar.

What makes it like 2016 is the polling and the smug confidence of Democrats. What’s similar to 2000 is how close it is.
