First: the GOP challenged the counting of mail-in ballots, when they could be received and when counting could start. In PA, WI and MI, the GOP was successful in limiting the counting to start on Nov 3... which ultimately why America is now stressing out.
Secondly: Trump's crony, DeJoy who was appointed as Post Master General this summer, sabotaged the processing of mail-in ballots in key states.
Thirdly: Trump's dogs have been engaging in voter intimidation, harassment and criminal activity, to the extent of even driving Biden's campaign bus off the road.
Just to give Trump a moment to declare Victory, rile up his base into a fervor and get them to run around like idiots shoving it in the rest of American's faces with a premature victory dance.
But the counting will continue and the Biden will win AZ, NV, WI, MI and even PA. This will put us at 290 with a popular vote win around 3 million votes.
Then the real work begins to protect the result.

(34,489 posts)I haven't turned on the tube yet. I wanted to get my updates from DU. I thought for sure when I woke up this morning, I would be reading that Biden would be President. Reading some of the posts, it looks like Trump could still win this thing.

(5,255 posts)There are some people who are genuinely worried (as well as some who assuredly are not but for some reason are saying they are, hmmmm) but they aren't really basing it on anything in the numbers. In fact, the numbers say otherwise, that Biden will win.

(13,104 posts)In places where votes arent counted yet. Their engineered coverage focused on Red/Republican wins and diminished Democrats wins. One POS (Nancy Cordes CBS) saying Democratic senatorial and congressional candidates were too heady and lost as a result.

(7,432 posts)Will a court rule that those ballots must be counted due to DeJoy's intentional post office delays? That's what I'd like to know.
