The 2020 Election: Delaying the Inevitable

Main Line is partially Delaware County, partially Montgomery. I would imagine mail in ballots would break pretty blue there, but Delaware County also has the areas around Chester and whatnot, and some of them are indistinguishable from Pennsyltucky in the middle of the state where I grew up.

Honestly if they counted all the votes same day if we weren’t in a pandemic this election would have been pretty boring.

not at all funny story: I’ve danced salsa for the last 7-8 years, almost obsessively so at times. There are two main camps in salsa: cuban style, and puerto rican/NY/LA style.

Telemundo proving me RIGHT for only dancing PR style! <3 PR, FU Cubans!

Just noticed a minor update on AP to bring Trump within 69k in AZ and Biden within 13k in GA. Kind of annoying again that they don’t copy-pasta the PA SoS values…

State Biden +/-
Arizona 68575
Georgia -12825
Nevada 11438
Pennsylvania -111400

The very fact that such a thing as a faithless elector can exist destroys any claim to the US having a non-comedic election system. That might be the single dumbest idea in all of history.

Hopefully just a soup nazi or a grammar nazi

Why? Gotta have the built in mask off button. Everything does here in good ol USA #1.

Lol looks like PA just updated another small dump. Biden’s total went up by like 3k, I didn’t notice how much Trump went up. Trying to figure out where it’s from now.

Fucking Hillary Clinton is one!

Electors are voted on by the people.

There is a possibility that a Republican elector is elected and would have to use their vote to vote for a Democratic candidate. Or they can go faithless and vote for the other guy

I won’t Vince Meme it, but another bucket just dropped, Biden deficit down to 109754, ballots broke 70/30 in this drop in his favor.

This is fucking terrifying. There is precedent - including among democrats.

Or maybe just normalize relations with Cuba because it’s not a good thing to be the nation-equivalent of a raging asshole. Hell maybe you might even gain some votes somewhere out if it, but still, just do it because it’s the right thing to do.

I think there’s a lot more faithless electors when they know it won’t matter.
