Alas Joe(lm2)

Looks like "Making Trump Great Again" for the next 4 years.

Note that someone on "Thursday, 29 October 2020 5:13:02 PM" at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=9299&page=0

Didn't go on the "collective polls [tipping] Biden to win on a 9% basis"

But focussed on:

"Rusmussen's 2020 prediction here http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2020/white_house_watch_oct28

“Trump 48%, Biden 47%...The margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points...”"

TRUMP GRACIOUSLY MAKES TYPICAL ALLEGATIONS ON ELECTION NIGHT

Here's Trump's Election Night Speech delivered an hour ago http://youtu.be/LFNGH2_1Kb4?t=22m22s

22:47 - "A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise [Republican voters] and we won't stand for it.

22:20 - And all of a sudden what happened to the Election. Its off!...[The Democrats] knew they couldn't win so they are going to court. And did I predict this...I said that that would happen...I've been saying this from the day I heard they wanted to send out 10s of millions of ballots. They said they were going to win and if they didn't win they'd take us to court.

29:35 - This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly we did win this election....This is a major fraud on our nation.

30.05 - We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we'll be going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning.

33.30 - Its a very sad moment. We will win this. And as far as I'm concerned we already have."

Trump calls Pence to the microphone, but Pence doesn't repeat or backup Trump's gracious allegations.

Hi Pete,

I don't know about other Australian states which haven't evolved to SA's level, but vote counting here usually stops around 11.00 pm on election night, skips Sunday, and starts again on Mondays. No problems.

With the US's fifty states plus other bits and pieces, one would expect something even more idiotically complicated. It is what it is. But the bottom line is that so many millions of people have voted as they are required or allowed to. So it's up to the electoral system to count those votes. No biggy.

No mad rush. We can all wait until all legal votes are properly counted. Nothing unusual about any of that. It's weeks away when the Electoral College has to meet to decide who has won this election, and 77 days before the Inauguration of the next President.

I think it's going to be very close. But as a progressive conservative, I hope that the Constitution and proper legal processes prevail.

Joe

Dear Pete and Joe,

I think we're all with you on this one.

The American people deserve to have their votes counted.
This election has to be fair and square. Saying that you've
won while closing down the vote count is absurd by any
standard of fair play and should not be allowed.

Trump can go to the Supreme Court, but any system of genuine
justice should prevail.

Foxy,

Justice?

Give me a break!

Judges and lawyers a some of the biggest low-life scumbags around.

Dear Foxy and Joe

Yes, for close and/or legally contested elections, a recount or two, State Court decisions, federal court(s) decisions then US Supreme Court deciding on some matter of US Constitutional Law may singly, some combo or all come into play.

NEVADA NOW CRITICAL TO ELECTION

Biden is now 264 - see http://www.usatoday.com/elections/results/2020-11-03/

So all Biden needs is Nevada's 6 College votes to get to the golden 270.

In Nevada Biden has 49.3% and Trump 48.7% with 75% of votes counted.

see http://www.usatoday.com/elections/results/2020-11-03/state/nevada/

Trump is likely to launch serious court cases in 5 or 6 States.
