The 2020 Election: Delaying the Inevitable

What role should Stacey Abrams get in a Biden administration?

We still have 91K in Philly and 47K in Bucks, but weā€™re down to 12K in Delco, 2.3K in Chester, and 2.8K in Montgomery. We should run up a minimum net of 85K from those.

36K left in Allegheny, that should net us a minimum of 14K but likely a little more. Weā€™ll win among the rest, but not by huge margins. But thereā€™s 178K more. If we go even 55/45, and we should do better, thatā€™s another 18K.

Thatā€™s a gain of a net of 117K under worst case scenarios for the margins, which moves us ahead ever so slightly.

The good news: PA Sec of State says more is outstanding than those numbers, AND we have the 11/3-11/6 although we donā€™t want it to come down to that. It wonā€™t, though.

Those are worst case numbers and they still get us over the line.

Travel around all the states and register people to vote?

I donā€™t like Hillary, sheā€™s clearly not liberal enough, but the thought of MAGA tears if somehow Hillary became President actually makes me understand their obsession with owning libs. I donā€™t think I would ever stop laughing if some confluence of events resulted in Clinton replacing Trump.

I have almost no gray hair on my head. I can always shave the beard. But I look like Mitch McConnell and the guy from Midnight Oil had a deranged psychotic love child.

Itā€™s taken basically until 2PM to cut the PA lead by 50K votes. Still a 100K+ deficit. Iā€™d be surprised if it got called todayā€¦maybe at like 2AMish or something.

Have we considered just having her be the permanent and very unelected boss of the Atlanta machine?

Jesus Savannah has 2 scanners and they have like 17K ballots to count.

NV and WI have the same price on PI right now

But thatā€™s because WI is underpriced, not because NV is overpriced.

Geez. So little done in so much time.

Are we doing math we do as a Democrat or are we still huge favorites to win it all?

One thing that just came to mind is that eDem/Biden officials with some insider knowledge are even more optimistic than we are about Pennsylvania.

Gave it little weight since wtf do they know until I remembered that Ds have lawyers in the counting rooms who are probably letting them know in advance about the insane skew we are slowly seeing in the mail in ballots.
