(Poll) Predict the amount of whinge after the US Presidential Election Result
 

This is for fun only. No whinging about the results!

i think its just short of overthrow. It's always difficult to gauge just how strong feelings will be, but we know they are going to be stirred up to the max whichever side is the eventual winner. Deporting millions of people is sure to evoke a response, similarly maga will be at the max too if they lose

Maybe calm heads will prevail, but, for example, if trump starts rounding up political opponents and executing them, it's difficult to see how that ends peacefully

I think that it won't be as severe as last time.

I do think that there'll be a lot of whining though from the losing side.

Whoever wins, there will be a lot of whinging and claims that (Winner) couldn't possibly have won fairly.

Overthrow

Is not Fun.


It is Civil War.

FBI backing Trump
would be amazing

I now think Harris is going to win due to Trumps craziness over the last few weeks. There will be mega whinging and action taken by Trump when he loses.

Why the hell is Georgia going to do a slow count
by hand?

45 days
to go now

I can’t wait for the MAGA whinge when the felon loses.

They want the attention again, I guess.

Crazy
it could hold up the whole Election?

The biggest whinge in the whole wide world. Bigger nd better than any other whinge, anywhere in the big wide world.

From what I read, it sounds like they're just counting the quantity of ballots by hand to check if it matches the machines, not counting actual votes cast (as in individual selections...). So that'll be interesting when the result is inevitably questioned and scrutinized, they'll have to restart that whole process all over again. Very glad I'm not a voter in GA. (Though I have family there, so I'll have to see what they say...)


So here is another issue (one I'm experiencing personally)... I noticed in the past month or so USPS (our national mail service) is having more problems. I've not really had many issues with USPS in the past except it being delivered to the wrong box. I mailed a mailer across town and it still hasn't gotten there. Mailed over a week ago.

Have another piece of mail still coming out of KY, so several states over. It's almost a month late.

Other people I've talked to are having similar issues. There's problems and more complaints right now about late mail. Even worse, people are losing mail. I'm thinking the mailer is also gone as well, so I'll probably just hand deliver. I can't trust anything to go through USPS atm, so everything from now on will go through UPS.

Anyway, I'm thinking about the mail in ballots. What about the rights of the person who voted when their mail is lost???? Maybe encouraging the voter come in to make sure their vote is actually cast in-person should be the critical point? It's not looking like USPS is setup to handle the additional traffic and definitely won't be helped by the oncoming holiday season..

there will be recounts in the swing states too unless one side wins with an overwhelming majority, so the result is likely to take a long time

Dont take too much notice of American politics but it seems to me Trump has been scared off by the attempts on his life and is no longer in the running

It's the numbers in polls that have
changed once Old Biden handed his job to Harris.


Trump has Texas and Florida
at this time

Yes, mail lost is a big problem,
being used as a Political Weapon.

We just had another postman dump large amounts of mail into a dumpster the other day... I can understand voting absentee late in life as many elderly do, but I would never vote by mail if I could help it. Standing at the polling stations for any period of time is difficult enough for older people.

its why its important to vote early, because there is time to correct it if it goes missing


I know all the voting requirements vary by state, but i was listening to a lawyer justifying how it was ok someone to simply provide an oath that they were eligible to vote and that needing id to register was voter suppression :laugh:

That seems utterly absurd and must be something that dates back to independence times :laugh:
