Honestly, anyone who is even entertaining Trump's bull**** is in direct opposition to democracy.

[Brother Leon]

As nerve wrecking election night was, with all the mail in votes, it’s honestly not going to end up being close in the end. No recounts is changing that. A comprehensive win for Biden and a defeat to Trump’s politics of fear.

[Christmas Lights]

Whether he likes it or not it's all over and he's lost ,so he needs to take the L and accept that Biden beat him fair and square . I'm sick and tired of orange face whining .

Funny thing is even with recounts and other votes coming in ,Biden was way ahead in the numbers .

[Liam-]

Duh

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Has any state certified their result yet?

Georgia is having an Official recount.
(ref: Politics Live BBC2HD)

Even if Trump Wins that one
Biden is still the whole of the USA winner.

I've not been following, so if there's any reason for a recount, then fair enough. If it stays with Biden, I hope Trump gets the message and concedes.

But if it goes to Trump, it'll energise to him to keep plugging, and this crap will be dragged on for ages...

Yes Georgia was close
and the recount is legal.

But it still will not get him the 4million votes
more he would need to win?


279 Biden

217 Trump

Nov 20th Friday
is the day the recount
should end in Georgia.

CNN HD reports Biden still has a 14,000 lead.
at this time.

Russian bots are working overtime on facebook, the amount of obvious bait about Biden being shared by people I know is gross. People are so gullible.

The bot activity on Twitter on election night was utterly BIZARRE. Like the comments didn't even make sense. One that I saw hundreds of involved people from hardcore Trump states claiming that because Trump had lost they were... moving to Canada... .

I think my favourite was the one I saw hundreds of copies of where they were so upset with the "stupid children" for "voting out Trump who was here to save us"... they were going to "move their family to Hawaii where they know how to run a country properly".

I mean ... not only is Hawaii a US state - but it's a US state that has resoundingly voted Democrat . ... for over 50 years. Mind blowing stuff.

Several networks have now called the outstanding states

Biden flips Arizona and Georgia, Trump holds on in North Carolina. Final tally is 306-232

Good one.
That's a convincing win in the end.

Trump to speak soon. All day he's been tweeting tin foil hat conspiracy theories.

Yes his Hair was more grey
yesterday.

Saying whoever is on power?
It is the first time he has accepted his loss.


It was all about the Vaccine
and how the NY State Gov
will not take it from Trump.

All about the Free Vaccine
nothing on the election

It's staggering he hasn't yet conceded.

World leaders are congratulating Biden.
It's clear Trump nor anyone else has the slightest evidence of any kind of fraud.

The figures just keep moving further away from Trump.

Yet he and the Republican party itself are still withholding being more gracious losers.

Excellent result in this election in my view, even much more so than I was thinking probable.

because he still believes it's fraud

wouldn't be surprised if he demands another recount

Is the act of conceding an "official" thing? What I mean by that is if he conceded, would that mean any investigations into dodginess would have to cease, and he'd be out of the race? Or is it just a courtesy thing?

it's purely a courtesy thing and plays no part in the process. Indeed, in 2000 Gore conceded and then withdrew it

When the results are certified in each state in the next couple of weeks, that locks everything in place. There is still an opportunity that the states won't follow the way the people voted and allocate the electoral college votes differently, that is thought to be highly unlikely, but these aren't normal times

It's widely expected that conceding is done once the result is clear as it is now.

The mandate of 48 States is who wins the popular vote gets all the college votes of that State.
In Nebraska and Maine, they are the only 2 who do it differently where the college votes may be split.

It's time the USA looked at the popular vote being represented in the college votes as now as in 2000 and in 2016.
A President was elected by not winning the overall popular vote.

In 2000, with Florida only having barely hundreds of votes separating Bush and Gore..
Then the Supreme court needing to be involved too.
That was an election where doubt over the result was more valid.

Not now with thousands of votes separating Trump and Biden in the closer States.
