Election Results and just the results

Post Reply New Topic

Biden is now only down by 23,000 votes in Georgia.

In Pennsylvania the gap is 175,000 votes with a full 11% left to count

The longer this drags out the more stinky it gets.

Fishy.

On what basis exactly?

On the basis that I find it questionable.

Why do they have to wait? Why Biden have to win in every state? I don’t understand the numbers.

So basically, you don't like the outcome therefore it's questionable?

There hasn't been an outcome. That's the problem.

To be clear so you don't take me down the wrong path, I don't have much preffernce of one canidatde over the other.

There's nothing "stinky" about the fact that this election is taking an unusually long time. The reason for the long wait is simply the following:

1) An unusually large number of people voted absentee/mail-in, due to the CoViD crisis.
2) Absentee/mail-in ballots take longer to process than regular ballots.
3) Some states, such as Pennsylvania, have a law requiring that the count of absentee/mail-in ballots cannot even start until Election Day.

It was already known back in October that this was going to be a problem. But the Republican-dominated legislature of Pennsylvania refused to change the law to allow vote-counting to happen in a more timely fashion.

For details, see In Swing States, Officials Struggle To Process Ballots Early Due To Strict Local Laws, NPR, October 14, 2020.

For more recent info, see Why Vote Counting In Pennsylvania And Michigan Takes So Long, NPR, November 4, 2020.

Arizona appears to be in play again, as Trump gained on Biden in the latest batch of votes.

Biden is still leading, but it may have been premature by Fox and AP to call it so early.

I edited my list to highlight the uncertainty regarding Arizona.

Trump still has the lead in Georgia, but the margin (0.4 % and less than 19,000 votes) is now so small that a recount is likely regardless of the eventual winner.

Only just over 18,000.

The Trump campaign has said that they will make a "Major Announcement" in Las Vegas, Nevada at 08:30 PST ... which is 30 minutes before Nevada officials are scheduled to announce the official outcome of voting in that state.

The Trump announcement is likely to be either a declaration of victory, or an announcement of a lawsuit declaring the Nevada results invalid.

The question we all need to ask is, "Why is Donald Trump trying to hijack or obstruct the voting process?"

Delays are not necessarily a matter of corruption but are often a matter of incompetence. As noted abovemany states have never had to deal with remotely this level of mail in ballots.
N.Y. mail-in voting deluge leads to confusion, June results delayed until August
Nearly 100,000 New York City voters have been sent invalid absentee ballots, with wrong names or addresses.


Note that New York is in no way a swing state. Their electoral votes are going to Biden. No need to “fix” the result. Unlike some other states New York has little to no history of early voting and use of absentee ballots had been minimal.
