What would the Georgia standings be if Jo Jorgensen (LIB) had not been on the ballot?

[Towlie]

Present standings:

Biden (DEM) = 2,472,083 or 49.52%
Trump (REP) = 2,457,920 or 49.24%
Jorgensen (LIB) = 62,059 or 1.24%

Biden leads Trump by 14,163, which is only 23% of the votes that Jorgensen got.

If Jorgensen hadn't been on the ballot then a portion of her voters would have voted for Trump, a portion would have voted for Biden, and a portion would not have voted for either. How do you think it would have turned out?

Note: I'm not asking if it matters or not.

1. Trump would have probably won Georgia

2. I wonder how much the repukes paid Jorgensen to run?

4. I'm thinking they would have paid her not to run.

8. Why, oh why, do people always think other parties' candidates got paid?

The US is the only democratic...ish... society where in modern times only, two parties got so powerful they basically knocked others out of contention. Lots of candidates from lots of parties is the norm. Having -D and -R as our main parties doesn’t mean other parties should give up, or they’re being paid, or whatever.

11. Jill stein comes to my mind.

And that mysterious candidate in Florida with the same last name as the Democratic candidate who votes gave the repuke win.

[Jirel]

13. Your point is?

Rethugs have paid for fake Dem candidates, Dems have supported 3rd party candidates that siphon votes from a Rethug, etc. Every party plays tricks to some extent, at some time. It’s ridiculous to assume that non-D, non-R candidates are just out there being paid for to interfere with the elections that are somehow, magically only to be between the two most popular parties. THE “two party system” is a toxic myth we tell ourselves, and we have to cut the BS.

3. It Just Doesn't Matter....

does it? Interesting theoretical exercise but the bottom line is Trump lost. No further discussion necessary.

5. This

If a frog had wings......

6. You can repeat this in several states. I don't

know why Trump hasn’t blamed her yet

[Statistical]

12. He probably hasn't figured it out yet. Math and all that. As soon as Fox News or OANN talking head

say it. You can expect Trump to jump on it.

7. Trump would have won, no doubt

[Lucky Luciano]

9. Tr$&p would have won GA, PA, AZ, WI - thank you Jo Jorgensen!

10. I found a Guardian article about that.
