No way
He never broke 45% approval
Covid didn’t take him from landslide to loss
Masks and OFB also are a reason he got more votes than last time
He may have won without covid, but not a landslide

We’re the next thing after “imaginary friends” (and there’s nothing wrong with that) but we’re real.

This shit is why networks are worried about jumping the gun.

And of course 2004 Karl Rove shenanigans

Yeah, I’m no analyst but a lot of people were all about Biden ruining the economy by shutting down the country.
I think it’s especially difficult for Fox because they don’t want to anger Trump by being the first to call the election. He would rage tweet against them for the rest of his life and it will actually cost them viewers=money.

This kind of thing is what my paranoid brain worries about with GA. And if Fulton County deliberately had the water main break so they could report votes last. Same for Clayton and Gwinnett coming in late. And Gwinnett saying they had 3k but oh look we have 7k.
All that stuff hamstrings Kemp - if they really do have vote flipping powers on some tally machines - as they don’t know how much to flip.
I really wish someone would tell me this is impossible. But I know too much about computer programming and have seen too many documentaries about bad voting machines. If there aren’t paper backups, and those aren’t constantly spot-checked by bi-partisan observer teams - then I don’t trust the E-machines.

Absolute fucking disgrace is Biden has to give this speech without AP calling it.
I get fox but WTF is up with AP?
Then they are idiots. He’s doing that regardless
Grunch, this protest was just pitiful when I left the area about 2 hours ago. They may be planning something bigger this evening, but there were maybe 100 people there. The front part of the building parking lot has been turned into the protest zone. First shot is the far end away from the building, then the section closer to the building, basically empty. Last shot is the obligatory merch/grift tables.

Nice - how’s the counting going?
CNN talking about how there are all these videos with disinformation being created and the longer it goes the worse it gets.
YOU CAN CAN FUCKING CALL IT YOU ABSOLUTE SCUM.
The media is a huge part of why America is broken.

I hope a D DOJ will thoroughly investigate these anomalies.
All I can say is tabulators and adjudicators were working steadily throughout the day. There’s light at the end of the tunnel I think!

I honestly don’t have a big problem with cnn’s coverage - for 2 days they’ve been talking like it’s basically over. They’ve been “projecting” a biden win for a while which is basically calling it. The media sucks but this spot is weird to get worked up over. There’s still states that are in recount range, it could be considered irresponsible to call it, especially when the president is tweeting that the entire thing is rigged. Can you imagine being a producer in this scenario and making the call? It could not possibly be that easy.

I don’t think that’s true.
The Trump Campaign asked Gorsuch to order PA to segregate mail ballots arriving after election day. He declined.
I can’t wait to not watch cable news for another 4 years. If they can even survive another 4 years with Trump gone.

You can’t say over and over that recounts never move the line more than a few hundred votes, talk about 10,000 plus leads and then say “I can’t call it cause of recounts”.

You’re right. AP site talks about the people who call races at their capital D “Decision Desk” so I thought it was the same.
