[LaLaLand]

Trump is basically inciting anger/riots here with all of his claims. There WILL be fighting on the streets. Awful.

[Denver]

Georgia is going to the wire, Biden has gone from over 300k votes behind trump to about 60k

[Kizzy]

Can trump still win fairly now or not? Is it over bar his silly challenges?

[GoldHeart]

Trump is basically inciting anger/riots here with all of his claims. There WILL be fighting on the streets. Awful.

Trump is a disgusting pathetic idiot , Throughout this election he's been salty af and encouraging violence. He's the definition of the worst sore loser ever .

Things aren't going in his favour so he resorts to bullying tactics and making ridiculous claims of it all being "fraud".

He can have his recount of votes but they better not let him bend the rules . He still thinks he can do whatever he wants despite the fact they all have to follow the proper guidelines.

[Swan]

Can trump still win fairly now or not? Is it over bar his silly challenges?

Technically yes but it would take some kind of miracle now. Biden has one foot in the White House, one hand on the Trophy etc..

[Denver]

Georgia is now down to 33k between them

[Denver]

Biden needs 61% - 63% of of the outstanding mail in bailouts in PA to take that state, he is currently winning by a 78% - 22% Margin

[LaLaLand]

Has AZ been called for Biden yet? Inevitable isn't it?

[Denver]

Biden is looking very likely to snatch Georgia

[Denver]

Has AZ been called for Biden yet? Inevitable isn't it?

The Republicans are being increasingly confident they have AZ but if the lose GA like they are expecting to then it makes it impossible for Trump to be reelected

[GoldHeart]

Biden is looking very likely to snatch Georgia

Where are you getting that source from?? , i mean it would be amazing if he did but i don't think Biden is getting Georgia. He's definitely got Arizona though.

But it looks like all Biden needs now is Nevada and then he's won OMG !!! :hello::fc: .

[LaLaLand]

Where does poor old Alaska on her own fall into all this? :joker:

But it looks like all Biden needs now is Nevada and then he's won OMG !!! :hello::fc: .

By the amount of votes he is clawing back from nearly 300k down to 31k down and is gonna keep going down as Biden is performing much better in the final votes count

[GoldHeart]

Has AZ been called for Biden yet? Inevitable isn't it?

Biden definitely has Arizona , i just checked the website and there's the tick next to his name :thumbs2:

Arizona is likely to flip ti the republicans

[GoldHeart]

I hate how close the percentages are between them

[Jack_]

Hm, let's not get ahead of ourselves yet

The race is narrowing in Arizona, Biden only leads by 7,000 votes in Nevada, and I think Trump will take North Carolina when it's called. All three total 32 electoral college votes

Georgia is looking surprisingly promising and might be key to preventing a Pennsylvania nightmare

Biden is now 16k behind in Georgia and is expected to take the lead in the next dump

[Amy Jade]

I am liking how the postal voters have really turned out for Biden. Trump supporters were being so smug about their numbers at rallies and it's really come back to bite them.

It's genuinely hilarious watching them freak out on social media.

Trump's meltdown is ridiculous and funny at the same time , he's actually suing now . Talk about spitting his dummy out like a child he can't accept defeat , the salt is oozing out of him ! .

[Swan]

So basically Trump's people want to watch the mail in votes be counted? But they wasn't allowed, so that's why they're taking legal action?

they are allowed the same as the dem representative. The view is also live streamed on the net so that anyone can watch it. I Think social distancing rules were in force, and they wanted to be up close and in someones face. It's not a legal argument, and the same as all their other "legal" complaints - baseless

....yeah, that’s what I mean, bots....(...I’m not hugely knowledgeable on US election processes...)...but breaking it down into bits, it seems to have fairly gone as expected...no real huge variation in that...not only for us/...the public but obviously, for Trump as well...it was always known that the postal votes would come last and favour Biden, for instance...?...and I do believe that Trump’s team have fully had their ‘plan’ together and this is not yet won or lost at all...

Trump is being divisive and also lying ... he said he had won way to early, and Biden had to counter that without being confrontational, which I think he did really well. He said things looked good but he wasn't declaring himself the winner.

There really isn't anything like going as expected. Swing states are always up for grabs, which can go either way and Biden has won a lot of the main ones and he is also either winning or very close to leading in a couple of states that were solid republican .... upshot is, it's a pretty good performance from Biden and he has more paths forward to victory than Trump has. He doesnt need to win PA now for example, he has other options available. If Trump loses PA its basically all over

[arista]

No its

yes, but trump already canned a recount. The requester has to pay for the recount and for Wisconsin that was going to be 3 million upfront, so Trump cancelled the request. PA would cost a lot more than 3m

[arista]

Georgia is going to the wire, Biden has gone from over 300k votes behind trump to about 60k


Yes but right now, this hour
it's Jumped up to Trump

...hopefully Biden will win but even if he did lose, it would have always been a loss for Trump, I feel...for it to be so close and against someone who hasn’t really had any type of standout popularity, as such...not the most hoped for/ideal candidate by a long way...even if Biden lost, it would be close...so that’s fairly devastating for Trump, to struggle a close win against Biden...obviously that’s not how the Donald will see it because his hands are huge....HUGE, big hands so he’s almighty and all powerful and the bestest....

One of the interesting ones is Arizona which has always been very republican, but Biden is doing pretty well in it. Arizona was the state that John McCain represented, and a lot of people are voting Biden purely because of the way Trump spoke about McCain ... it would be so fitting if McCain got the last laugh

...Biden has also had the most votes in history of any presidential candidate..so a huge victory also..?..and those votes for him could also be said to be votes against Trump...the most in history against someone ...?..so another huge loss for him, whichever way the result...?...there will surely never be anything to bring any type of smile or ‘laugh’ for Trump, he could never have the last laugh with this election, in any capacity...the president who has done ‘more for America, for racism, for the economy etc, etc than anyone ever in time...’...is in such a close race with some one who isn’t even stand out...an awful defeat no matter which way it’s flipped for the actual results...

[user104658]

You know, to temper celebrations a bit, Trump could still win Georgia and Pennsylvania and flip Arizona and if so he wins. I think celebrations have been premature - largely because of AZ being called too early for Biden due to an "error" when it now IMO looks quite likely to flip.

Basically it means it's not just down to Nevada and Biden MUST flip either Georgia or PA, of which there are no guarantees. :worry:

Trump just should've kept his mouth shut, instead of begging for a recount

dictators like him should have no rights for a recount

[user104658]

Trump just should've kept his mouth shut, instead of begging for a recount



dictators like him should have no rights for a recountIt's not that there's a recount in Arizona, it was called because Fox mistakenly thought 95% of votes had been counted when it was actually only 85% and there was still a chance of the percentage flipping back. Based on the trends so far (Biden lead lessening with there still being time to go), there's a good chance it will turn red, leaving Biden presidency to hinge on GA and PA postal votes. From what I'm reading at least one of them is likely to go blue (and both have more electoral votes than Arizona) but its nowhere near a finished race.

of course it will turn red, when those vile far right republicans are now rigging this election

Both can reach 270

Its just much harder for Trump.

[bots]

it would be a lot less stressful if they didn't do the constant count updates and just waited until they could notify a result. I also think its leading to all the uncertainty by not really projecting a true picture.

People are much to quick to say Trump has lost, he hasn't, he is still in play, and it won't be over until the results have all been certified .... this is very important, because all the votes called so far are provisional, they are certified later in the process.

There is currently a federal case going on where a huge number of postal votes were hidden by the post office and not delivered and these votes are for states such as Florida and Texas where it could easily change the vote.


This election has a long way to go yet :laugh:

[joeysteele]

What a mess this is.
The USA and ourselves often present both as leading lights in democracy.
Yet both now have what appears to be a largely unrepresentative and outdated system of election leaders of both Nations.

I understand it was orders from these individual States governing sources to count the mailed votes, ONLY after all the others had been.

That then makes it ridiculous that the President is arguing for vote counting to be stopped.
It was even his Party's representatives, who made that order to count them last of all.

Surely in the USA they could have had people counting them alongside the other voting counting however.
What a mess, especially with the expectation due to covid of a dramatic increase in the mailed voting.

I do hope Biden gets the figures needed and in light of the USA rules, I can't see where any legal challenge is possible.
That could be deemed serious.

Just sit back towards the weekend and see what happens.
Once all votes are counted.

It's pretty clear, had Biden been ahead in some vital States, with Trump catching him up from the counting of mailed in votes.

He would be screaming then for all votes to be counted, every single one.
That's his hypocrisy.

If he loses, which I hope he does,after his nonsense even on the first day of counting.
This must be the most undignified and pathetic departure from power of any President after an election.
Or at the end of their 2 terms.

Trump has just highlighted right from the start of counting the valid reasons why he should never have been elected to power anywhere.

Even if Trump does somehow end up the winner, he'll still have the stink of having lost the popular vote by a pretty big percentage.

If Trump loses, I hope it's by a big enough margin to make recounts or court action pointless. If it came down to one state with a tiny margin, we won't hear the end of it...

I've never took notice of polling for a good while now.

I don't blame Biden at all.

He's done enough it appears to win the election however listening to the unreasoned ranting of Trump supporters, the election campaign was and then post the election, became a near impossibility to manage.

I think Biden should have got round more States, however an opponent like Trump who when he wins, declares himself the greatest.
Then if he's losing it's down to fake news, fraud and underhand recording of votes.
The man is just looking idiotic and even deranged.

America seems to not prefer to turf out an elected President after only one term.
I always feared the polls were incorrect, also that this election would be closer than predicted.

This election if Biden wins, will have him with the electoral college votes he needs and he'll have won the most votes.

That will be an achievement in itself.
To have unseated an incumbent President who has claimed fraud and all other nonsense, with ugly rhetoric and threats during his Presidency.
Whipping up almost frenzied cult kind of support.
Operating an awful campaign too.

Maybe Biden's style is unimpressive, even boring to most.
However, he appears to have probably done enough to win.
Which if he does, really that's all that matters.

As I say boring and unimpressive Biden may be but I'd have a sigh of relief for the USA and in fact the World, if in the end Biden takes over the Presidency from this irrational, uncompromising near monster in Trump.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Can anyone imagine if we had an election this week what chaos would have ensued?

Give the USA a break they are in the grip of a pandemic, its not easy and they are all doing as best they can. Plenty countries in the world would love to have the freedom to vote as they do in the USA.

Trump also called himself ''your favourite president'' back when he did put that face mask on, that one time


another shady thing of Trump is when he somehow had corona but recovered after 3 days from it which is also very hard to believe (and then waving from his car to the people like its just leaving from a normal medical checkup) :joker:

We had some Chaos
when New Labours Brown took his time to go
after not getting Nick Clegg
who preferred David Cameron.

[Crimson Dynamo]

and by the way the National Polls are all out so bad i doubt anyone will trust them again

[joeysteele]

We had some Chaos
when New Labours Brown took his time to go
after not getting Nick Clegg
who preferred David Cameron.

It did take to be fair, the Lib Dems and the Cons a fair while to agree a governing set of terms.

Some in the Lib Dems were still trying to work out a possible deal with Brown and Labour too.

There was although much tighter, an anti Con vote in parliament if the Lib Dems hadn't backed them.

This isn't about negotiating a deal to govern as to the USA.
It's the voters choice of one in and the other OUT.

Neither Cameron or Brown had an overall majority.

Also in Feb 74, ironically that election was on the parliament channel last weekend.
Heath, rightly resisted going for a period too, until it was clear he couldn't get support to remain PM.

This USA presidential election is only only a straight choice of 2 candidates.

white women - up 2%

black men - up 4%

black women - up 4%

it's not difficult to understand given that turnout has been so poor in previous elections and all sides were re-energised for this one. The categories that went down in that context are actually much further down from last time by about 4% which will affect things. So that basically means that the black vote stayed relatively constant and the other categories saw a relative dip

I can't think of any election in the US or UK where supporters of one candidate pulled as much **** as the Trump cult has in this election. It's gross.

It's absolutely disgraceful.

As it is too wrecklessly going on about the counting process too, likely trying to intimidate those just piling up the votes.

He wasn't whinging when he was taking States very narrowly in 2016.

It's clear as day from the actions of both the Presidential candidates which one is more statesmanlike.

[Nicky91]

and i am not anti-republicans, since i kinda liked George W Bush, and i also liked John McCain (although he was rather unlucky he was up against a strong opponent as Obama, + having a **** running mate in that weirdo Palin)


tbh so little trouble there was at Bush vs Gore, Bush vs Kerry elections, compared to now (those 2 of the democrats whom strongly express support for Biden too, especially Kerry)

Gore is more for fair elections (count every vote) as seen in that tweet i posted of his on here

[bots]

to me Trump is just such a massive contradiction. He sells himself as anti establishment and makes a mockery of standard social norms, common decency and fair play, yet expects to be treated in a manner befitting the president of the USA with people bowing and scraping to his every whim. However, a huge percentage of the american people seem to like that and support, encourage and egg him on .... so, honestly, Trump is a symptom of the current state of America, not the cause. The people who vote in their millions for him are the cause

[Amy Jade]

Honestly his supporters aren't all bad obviously, there have been a few diplomatic ones but the insane ones threatening people with guns over this are making them all look bad. If I was part of that camp I'd be so embarrassed.

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/11/mps-call-on-blok-to-uphold-democracy-and-ignore-trumps-declaration-of-victory/


MPs have called for the Dutch government to publicly condemn Donald Trump’s declaration of victory in the US presidential election before all the votes have been counted.

In a press conference at the White House in the early hours of Wednesday morning Trump openly questioned the legitimacy of mail-in ballots and threatened to go to the Supreme Court as his Democrat rival, Joe Biden, closed the gap in several swing states.

Trump denounced the vote as a ‘fraud on the American people’ and an ’embarrassment to our country’, but produced no evidence of electoral fraud and did not specify how the Supreme Court might be asked to intervene.

Jesse Klaver, leader of opposition party GroenLinks, said the events in the US showed ‘how dangerous it is when a president undermines democracy by claiming victory before all the votes have been counted. The Dutch government must call on Trump to abide by the rules of democracy.’

Sjoerd Sjoerdsma, foreign affairs spokesman for coalition party D66, pressed foreign minister Stef Blok and his European colleagues not to recognise Trump’s declaration of victory. The prime minister of Slovenia, Janesz Janša, is the only European Union leader so far to congratulate Trump.

‘It’s not for us to choose the American president, but it is our job to ensure our democratic partners stick to the rules. Blok must make plain, together with our European colleagues, that we cannot recognise Trump’s declaration of victory and that all votes must be counted.’

Not all Dutch politicians were critical of Trump’s statement: Joost Eerdmans, alderman with populist party Leefbaar Rotterdam and a candidate for Forum for Democracy in next year’s general election, tweeted: ‘Whatever the ultimate outcome, nobody other than Trump is the moral winner of the 2020 US Elections’.

Netherlands-based pundits said that the US election would ultimately lead to further polarisation in the United States and diminish its status further on the world stage. Growing polarisation

James Kennedy, the American-born and raised professor of modern history at Utrecht University, told Trouw that the election confirmed the trend that has been evident since the turn of the century.

‘Democrats don’t seem to understand that a man they view as incompetent and narcissistic is still so attractive to many Americans. But many people have made progress economically in the last few years, and they noticed the difference in their wallets – at least until corona struck. ‘Many people see Trump as a protector, the president who keeps them from socialism and riots by leftist demonstrators.’

Security expert Rob de Wijk said a Trump victory would accelerate European integration as the EU looked to fill the gap left by a retreating America, while even a win for Biden would only slow the corrosion of American influence.

‘Biden has said that traditional alliances need to be strengthened,’ De Wijk, founder of The Hague Centre of Strategic Studies at Leiden University, told De Volkskrant.

That’s all very well, but what people often forget is that as vice-president under Obama, Biden was the architect of the reorientation of America towards Asia. Biden’s rhetoric may be different, but even under his presidency the relative importance of Nato to the Americans will diminish.’

Conservative trend Economic commentator Kees de Kort said the American public had become more conservative in the last four years. There had been no sweeping change to the balance of power in Congress and no sign of significant economic reforms by either party to support those hit by the coronavirus crisis.

‘America is divided, so there is no broad majority for the programme,’ he wrote on BNR’s website. ‘I don’t think much is going to change.’

In De Telegraaf, meanwhile, columnist Roderick Veelo argued that Trump’s achievements had been blurred by ‘a relentless flood of accusations and rumours’ in the media.

‘Journalists, commentators as well as news consumers in this country are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome, in an advanced stage,’ he said. ‘Even a neutral article about Trump is scarcely to be found.

‘We may have to wait a while for the final election results, but Trump is not badly placed. So permit yourself a little nuance in the coming four years instead of another four years of having your judgment tilted towards one side.’

few areas in Pennsylvania which Biden has most votes, are Pittsburgh (to name a major one) and that one is mail-in vote heavy


i still so hope Biden wins, however then they should go on high alert for any attacks, cause those trump supporters really genuinely scare me

It's looking like Pennsylvania will turn for Biden which will clinch it. Georgia will be really close by time all votes are counted.

I think if trump holds PA then he will be president.

[user104658]

Betting odds for Trump to win are now higher than at any point in 2016 (flitting between 11/2 and 6/1). If I hadn't already bet, I'd be betting now. I can see several paths to Trump staying in the White House.

Important to note: The bet on almost all sites is NOT "to win the election" - it's to be President in Jan 2021. That means bookies will have to pay no matter the route - i.e. if Trump retains the presidency through being ****ing dodgy then it still counts.

And in my gut, I think this is far from over. Trump cheats and Republicans don't care.

Sadly I can still see several paths to Trump still being prez next year.

I was finding that odd, it feels like they've been 253 v 214 for about a year now :joker: Unless the map thing I'm looking at takes a while to update not even the percentages of votes counted have budged...

[Nicky91]

Alaska would put trump then at 254, so yeah he needs Arizona, and its not looking like that will happen (knocks on wood)

so yeah the best thing what can happen now (for all our stress levels) is for confirmation of Biden winning Arizona, so Trump misses out on those crucial points

[The Slim Reaper]

Basically Trump has only one way to get the votes, and Biden has a few.

[DouglasS]

Even if Biden gets 70% of the remaining Georgia ballots he will lose it. He needs more than 75%, which is looking very difficult.

There’s only a 18k difference, but there is only about 50k ballots to be counted, meaning to overtake he needs 35k of those 50k ballots compared with trump getting less than 15k.

Yea Biden is closing the gap, getting around 65-70% of postal votes, but to pull off 75% would be difficult

Arizona, it gets a little tighter now and 450k votes left to be counted so Trump could still take that, but not if there are 226k Biden votes, then he has the majority there

There is a federal court case where there were thousands of missing ballots at post offices.

Luckily, so far, I think most of the Trump appointees have been ruling without bias, I think I remember them siding with abortion laws in an abortion issue a while back despite everyone thinking they wouldn't.

I can't see them backing Trump out of loyalty, considering their own positions aren't at risk if he stays or goes, but they probably would be if they ruled against the facts.

213

so even with PA, Georgia Trump has got not enough by far

He's at 214

+20 + 16 = 250

You missed North Carolina (15) and Alaska (3)

= 268

And he's looking to flip Arizona (11) which IMO is very possible

= 279 (Trump wins)

He's demanding recounts elsewhere etc but I think those are less likely to result in anything.

Anyway - Biden needs to either KEEP Arizona and win NV for a total of 270 - or flip Pennsylvania which alone puts him at 273 (both Biden win scenarios). He MIGHT keep both AND flip PA which would give him 290 - a more decisive win.

I don't see any other realistic voting scenarios.

However I think we're in for several weeks of Trump trying to upend multiple states if the election is called for Biden. This becomes LESS likely the further over 270 Biden goes.

The abortion laws were a supreme court issue when the court was 5-4, and it was the existing justice (Roberts) who was the deciding vote. It's 6-3 now, and Gorsuch and Kavanagh both gave opinions last week which seemed like providing a path to have votes thrown out. ACB has been trying to stop people voting for most of her career.

[user104658]

A controversial addendum: If Trump IS going to retain the presidency, it would be better for everyone if he wins the electoral college vote today without challenge (keeping the current reds and either AZ or NV flipping).

If the vote is called for Biden and overturned later in the courts in Trump's favour, there is going to be absolute chaos.

[Samm]

I think people need to be reminded. There is no evidence of voter fraud, voter fraud is likely by a percentage of 0.03% in all elections. Recounts also don’t bring up anything new unless the vote is under 1k.

In this case it's easy to see both sides - a bunch of overlooked ballots appearing, so many that they knock the total counted back by three percent, can seem a bit suspish, especially when they coincidentally take away one side's lead.

But things do get overlooked and mishandled, virtually any task is subject to human error.

i don't think he would've said this if it was other way around


also you can notice difference from Joe and his wife, compared to Trump on social media, way more down to earth

From a non political point of view I have found Trump a breath of fresh air as President and he really set the cat amongst the pigeons when he won. We saw a non stereotypical President...someone who said it how it was whether you agreed with him or not.
I thought Biden was going to walk this...this predictable man who really lacks character and looks like he is ready for retirement rather than running the most powerful country in the world...I think Mickey mouse would have won up against trump...:laugh:

22,000 lies in just under 4 years is as far away from telling it how it is as you can possibly get. It's the definition of telling it how it isn't.

I think Biden has won it.
Trump is still one of the richest men on the planet, so he still has a lot to be thankful for.

Now he's tasted the power of Presidency money will never be enough for his ego.

Random but I hate when headlines don't have the word "and" in them, just a comma.

You should all immigrate to florida..get the numbers down next time.

[Swan]

Trump should just concede at this point, he had a good run, he won when no one thought he would, lightening wasn't going to strike twice.

Biden's win is inevitable now. It's the equivalent of a football team winning 5-0 in injury time, Trump needs the biggest and most unrealistic comeback of all time!

Jesus, a Trump win would put the bookies out of business :laugh:

and they'd deserve it :hehe:

[Swan]

How is Trump leading in PA, but the odds so overwhelming in favour in Biden? Do they expect most the votes counted will go to Biden?

[Oliver_W]

How is Trump leading in PA, but the odds so overwhelming in favour in Biden? Do they expect most the votes counted will go to Biden?

Probably, if most/all of the remaining are mail-in votes.

[Brother Leon]

How is Trump leading in PA, but the odds so overwhelming in favour in Biden? Do they expect most the votes counted will go to Biden?

Lots of Philadelphia and other favourable regions still to be counted. I think even Trump knows he’s about to lose it.

[Black Dagger]

How is Trump leading in PA, but the odds so overwhelming in favour in Biden? Do they expect most the votes counted will go to Biden?

Yes. They were mail in votes and Trump spent most of the election shooting down the idea so the election has heavily gone in favour of Biden due to that.

[Swan]

Ok thanks, just trying to make sense of it all, crazy stuff :laugh:

Tump and Biden are doing GTA 3 speedruns. Trump starts his first and finishes with a WR. Then Biden starts 5mins after Trump starts. Trump - I was winning, I have a world record, it's the best world record, nobody's ever seen a world record like it, believe me.

Biden finishes then beats his world record.

Trump - he can't have the world record, I have the world record. He cheated.

:smug:

Now you're talking my language :dance::joker:

Oh and fyi, that kinda happened once, someone had Xbox WR, so he said i couldn't claim any WR's as he had better console times....So i just went and beat his Xbox time, problem solved :smug:

Ok more dumb questions, why on the Sky News map of the US is Nebraska and Maine blue and red stripes?

On most maps it's a flip.

[user104658]

[Saph]

why is every map saying something different.. is there like an official correct version?

Thanks guys, makes sense :)

[user104658]

why is every map saying something different.. is there like an official correct version?No, the votes technically aren't official until every vote is counted and verified and the win isn't official until the electoral college officially elects the president... but USUALLY the losing candidate would concede defeat before that's necessary (it still happens as a formality).

[Jack_]

why is every map saying something different.. is there like an official correct version?

Not really, all networks have their own data analysts (although I think many employ the same company, hence similar maps) who will “call” states when they think one candidate has reached a threshold where their opponent cannot mathematically or realistically (given historical precedence) overtake them. It’s a little different to the UK where they actually count all of the votes, and then the returning officer declares an official result

Counting for several days, even weeks in the States is not unusual, in fact it’s the norm. The reason this election hasn’t been “called” yet like it normally would’ve been is because of the disproportionately high number of mail-in ballots (cos covid, obvs). Different states have different rules about when they can be counted and accepted until

That’s the general gist

[Jack_]

It’s also fairly amusing that the first network (and still one of the only ones) to call Arizona was Fox News :joker:

There’s only one person who dislikes losers more than Donald Trump, and it’s Rupert Murdoch

[Samm]

Trump’s lead in Pennsylvania has now shrunk too under 100K. It was 750k+ like 24 hours ago!

(If/when biden wins Pennsylvania, he wins the election)
