The 2020 Election: Delaying the Inevitable

I’m just going to assume that Fox and AP, 2 decision desks with great reps, know more than the guys on PI scrolling twitter.

If this is the first blown call ever by the Associated Press, in this spot, fuck them so hard.

The other side cheats. We have to win anyway. It would probably help if we cared enough about winning to cheat too.

Yes but it would be nice if AZ ever got around to actually counting and uploading their vote totals before December.

Data Orbital is an absolute nobody with no followers and no credibility among anyone that I’ve seen.

Why are the networks being so ridiculously cautious? Biden is obviously the winner in WI and MI. Every hour they let go by is another hour Trump and his surrogates can lie lie lie.

The USPS shit is absolutely awful.

That said, if the Associated Press wasn’t still very confident, they would retract I think. Fox News as well. Trump’s campaign ripped them a new asshole when they called Arizona and they held strong all night.

I’m gonna say these Orbital guys are gaming the markets.

Maybe AP’s call was based on the data error of how much was outstanding? No idea. A little worried, but not freaking out yet.

REMAIN CALM

Math doesn’t add up:

Even if the 250k votes referenced breaks 20points Red like he says that is only a net gain of ~50k votes.

Trump is down 93k votes. Would need the 250k votes in the blue Maricipoa county to also break significantly red for reasons.

We’re basically at the NATE SAYS SOMETHING IS FISHY ON INTRADE part of the proceedings.

Ignore those stupid hacks. Come on. They have 2k twitter followers. AP called the fucking race. Deep breaths.

The foxnews guy was absolutely certain about AZ last night. 99.95% were his words.

But who knows with this fucked up election. Pretty amazing that a Twitter account no one’s ever heard of can put a tweet out that moves markets simply because half the country wants it to be true.

That’s not the AP’s data firm. The AP called it with 82% in, not using Edison. Edison had 98% in and pulled it back to 86%.

So we have 3 key points:

  1. The AP has never blown a call, not even FL in 2000.

  2. The AP called it with 82% in, the error only took it back to 86%.

  3. The AP was not impacted by the error anyway, they don’t use that data firm.

The only way is if somehow AZ reported that mail was left to count when they meant same day was left to count. Some kind of error that tripped up AP and FNC.

late earlies that are people that voted early but right before election day, mostly GOP from what people thought as Dems dominated very early vote.

as of 7 minutes ago they’re posting stories about how az definitely flipped blue this year
