Postal votes are and always have been, legal absentee votes! And if posted on or before the legal deadline have to be counted, even weeks later! With a December the fourteenth deadline? And given all these absentee votes have been tabulated have already met that deadline officially and legally!
Simply put these legal challenges are a fraud, perpetrated to extract mucho plenty cash from the most gullible folk in the world, Trump supporters!? And the only reason for all the bogus BS lawsuits, and attempts to illegally replace elector college officials with a new cohort of republicans who will ignore the expressed will of the people and reinstate Mr Trump? What then an alteration of the constitution to make him President for life? Not possible in the land of the free? OK, but take a look at what is happening right now and ask yourself, would anyone in their right mind conceive this could happen here!? Something voters in Georgia should consider as they cast their ballots in upcoming Senate runoffs! And elect Democrats, to ensure that the constitution cannot be amended to possibly allow this outcome or allow legally cast absentee votes to be tossed out! The electoral college is already a huge gerrymander that regularly defeats, defies and casts aside the expressed will of the people! And perhaps that anachronism ought to be tossed out in favour of being decided by the popular vote to prevent this debacle from ever reoccurring!? Alan B.

GOOD NEWS David, diver dan, ttbn and bazz:
Reported 20 November 2020: "Joe Biden wins GEORGIA ahead of Donald Trump after RECOUNT flipping the state for Democrats at the US election" "Joe Biden has won Georgia and its 16 electoral votes, an extraordinary victory for Democrats who pushed to expand their electoral map through the Sun Belt. Key points: - The Associated Press called the win for Biden in Georgia after a HAND-TALLIED audit of ballots - The audit confirmed a winning margin of roughly 12,000 votes for Biden, having led by 14,000 before the hand tally - The president-elect has called Donald Trump's refusal to concede an act of "incredible irresponsibility" The win by Mr Biden pads his electoral college margin of victory over President Donald Trump. Mr Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election on November 7 after flipping Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to the Democrats’ column. Mr Biden now has 306 electoral votes to Mr Trump’s 232. ...Mr Biden said on Thursday (local time) that Mr Trump's refusal to accept the election results has left Americans "witnessing incredible irresponsibility". ...WHAT HAPPENS after the RECOUNT? The states have until December 8 to settle any disputes over the election result, including recounts and court contests. Once that deadline has passed, each state's [ELECTORAL COLLEGE] electors have until December 14 to vote by paper ballot. These are then counted and the electors sign six Certificates of the Vote. Those certificates, along with other official papers, are sent by registered mail to various officials, including the president of the Senate by December 23. The Lower House and the Senate will hold a joint session to count those electoral votes on January 6. When a candidate receives 270 or more electoral votes, the President of the Senate will announce the results. Inauguration day is on January 20, when the winning candidate will be officially sworn in as president." via http://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-20/georgia-called-for-joe-biden-after-recount-us-election/12904184 Posted by plantagenet, Saturday, 21 November 2020 2:10:10 PM

But Planty, Donald don't like that system, its open to fraud. Donald thinks it would be much better, and fairer, if at the end of election day, he, Donald, made the decision as to who won, and who lost. Simpler for everyone that way, and none of this confusion.

REPUBLICAN Michigan State Leaders won't change results that indicate Biden Won in MICHIGAN
Australia's 7News reports http://7news.com.au/politics/election/legislators-wont-change-michigan-results-c-1622895 half an hour ago: "Michigan's Republican state leaders have said after meeting President Donald Trump they have NO INFORMATION THAT WOULD CHANGE THE OUTCOME of the presidential election in the state, and will follow the "normal" electoral process. The Republican Trump summoned the lawmakers to the White House on Friday in an extraordinary effort to try to set aside Democrat Joe Biden's 154,000-vote victory in the state. Michigan is one of several states where the campaign of Trump is seeking to challenge Biden's victory in the November 3 election, based on unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. "We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan's electors," Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House of Representatives Speaker Lee Chatfield said in a statement on Friday. Having been stung by a series of court defeats, the Trump team is resting its hopes on getting Republican-controlled legislatures in battleground states to set aside the results and declare Trump the winner, according to three people familiar with the plan. The two lawmakers said they also pressed for more funds for Michigan to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Their visit came as Michigan's election agency recommended the election results be certified next week by state canvassers. On Tuesday, GOP canvassers in Michigan's largest county, Wayne, refused to certify local results but then changed their position after intense public criticism. Then after talking to Trump, they said a day later they were rescinding their previous vote but it was too late. The state Bureau of Elections said all Michigan's 83 counties had sent their certified results to Lansing." Posted by plantagenet, Saturday, 21 November 2020 4:27:49 PM

Hi Paulo
Yes. After the above news from Georgia and Michigan, the law is triumphing over Donald's ego. But I'm sure Donald will fix the system to stay out of what Trump really fears from electoral loss - many charges against him, including unpaid tax charges pending, in New York State.

One of the funniest stories I read this week was; When Donald went to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Donald was talking with SD governor Kristi Noem, who is a Republican and a mini Donald. Looking at the four faces of the monument, Donald said to Kristi; "One day a fifth face will be added....ME!" With that Kristi started laughing, thinking Donald was joking, then she realised Donald was not laughing and was SERIOUS! One commentator said, there's another Donald more likely to get his face on Mt Rushmore than Donald Trump...and that's DONALD DUCK!.
