So you agree that he's far superior to Biden. Little wonders never cease.

the attention span of an oxygen deprived goldfish

And to be super-accurate, this is an actual issue of Biden's. He doesn't know what city or state he's in, what office he's running for, what clothes he's wearing, the name of the GOP nominee, he says that he's going to beat Joe Biden in the election, he can't pronounce big words, etc.

He's a 78 yr old who had 2 aneurisms in the '90s and he's experiencing sharp cognitive decline. 

You can make some baseless insults if you want, but this is a well-known fact about Biden.

Are they blocking them to keep the people on the other side of the window from seeing what is going on on this side of the window, or are they blocking them to keep the people on this side of the window from seeing what is going on on the other side of the window?

Another batch of votes, ALL for Biden.  What’s the probability of not even 1 person voting for Trump out of 23,000 people?  This is getting ridiculous.

You import more from China, because for all Trump's breast thumping he hadn't been able to do anything about China's unfair trade practices. But you export much more to Canada than to any other nation. In fact, you export so much to Canada we're just slightly behind the whole European Union ($282,265m vs $283,269). China is about half of that amount.

Every district in Michigan has one Republican observer and one Democratic observer inside watching the counting. What happened in Detroit was a whole bunch of rednecks called out by Trump showed up and started screaming that the vote had to be stopped, barged into the building, and tried to find the rooms where the ballots were. They were thrown out by police but are still outside screaming.

What a coincidence!  Stuff going on in the county most favourable to Biden.

Yep.  I’m beginning to understand why Democrat countries “pause” their vote counting for no apparent reason, and then start back up several hours later or the next day.  You gotta know how many votes you need to make up .

The U.S. exports about $2.5 trillion (with a "T") each year in goods and services, $1.8 trillion being goods.   Exports to Canada are far smaller than that and all exports are far more diversified around the world.   Some of the exports are to American owned manufacturing base in Canada that just comes right back (e.g. automotive).

Biden or Trump will continue to pursue "America First" trade policies because of domestic pressure and politics.   The U.S. economy needs to rebound from the pandemic.   Biden says he will cancel the permit for Keystone XL and other energy projects that will impact Canada.    Canada's economy is Trudeau's problem, not ours.

Arizona and Nevada are in different time zones. They're still counting votes from before the polling stations closed last night. Yes they were from Republican districts but there's no contradiction there as those are votes that were accepted before the polls closed. Ballots from after the polls closed are what would be contested.

I'm not up on exactly how or why the military exemption works. Maybe there should be some sort of posting date rule that allows for different problems in delivery though. 

Military ballots weren't what tubby ladies in second winter jackets were pulling on wagons or carrying in coolers into the Wayne County voting stations though. 

The Mail in Ballots were always there. The total was public record. 

Note all Nevada in person voting is done. The rest are Mail In votes. 

So I guess they should stop.

The Mail In Ballots are already where? Not Nevada.

Quote

Wayne Thorley, the secretary of state for elections, told the media early this morning that no more election results from Nevada will be announced today. The media will have to wait for the next cache of numbers Thursday.

Las Vegas Review-Journal:

The elections division said the votes left to count include:

— Mail ballots received on Election Day

— Mail ballots that will be received over the next week

— Provisional ballots

“Ballots outstanding is difficult to estimate in Nevada because every voter was sent a mail ballot. Obviously, not all will vote,” the elections division said in the tweet.

Trump and Co are more than happy having counting continue in Arizona and Nevada. Wonder why? 

So they're still waiting for ballots in Nevada. It's Arizona where I hear Trump pushing for a continued count. Arizona claims mail-ins have already been counted. The remaining districts waiting to be counted are Trump territory. So yes, they want those counted. 

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-major-error-found-in-arizona-results

I imagine they'd like Nevada counted too, but Arizona is the big one. There are 11 electoral votes in Arizona. Just 6 in Nevada.

I'm not sure why you want to talk about those two states so bad though. Right now the allegations of vote fixing are in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

I do think it's highly unlikely Trump can pull a win out now but he was certainly correct in predicting that this would end in a mess. I listened to the brilliant  Ben Shapiro on the way home tonight and he thinks Trump's team should absolutely take legal action to scrutinize the results. The media and most on the political left had predicted a landslide win and the Dems taking control of the Senate. When you think about the unrelenting assault/smear campaign against Donald Trump and every member of his family since before the 2016 election it's actually quite remarkable that he was able to accomplish what he did.The deck will always be heavily stacked against the Republicans in terms of getting fair coverage compared to the Democrats. In 2020 in the US, censorship actually did play a role in this election thanks to the Silicon Valley tech giants. That is normal in Socialist/Communist countries and sadly now too in Western democracies .

The Wisconsin voting numbers sound fishy, and it's funny how it's always the Democrats that keep coming up with all those ballots as needed.

At least of the Republicans keep the Senate they may be able to hold off the of the crazy-Bernie policies like the Green New Deal and the like.

If you are determined to be the architect of the mess it's no great trick to predict it.

As for Socialist/Communist countries, I think trying to stop votes being counted is a good way to emulate them.

Ok, this is actually against the law.  You cannot “fix” a submitted ballot and than resubmit it.  Wtf is going on?

 

 

[dialamah]

Ballot curing is not illegal, despite how desperately Trump and his cultists might wish it were.  

Quote

So what is ballot curing? The process – also known as ballot remediation – allows voters to resolve an issue with a rejected ballot and get it counted. Most commonly this occurs when someone forgot to sign their ballot, or the signature does not appear to match the voter registration on file. A number of states allow this, but the process can vary down to the county level.

Voters in Nevada, Arizona and Georgia may be looking to ‘cure’ their rejected ballots. Here’s what that looks like

Agreed...the Republicans remain in good shape having likely retained the Senate and gaining seats in the House.   Picking up two Senate seats in 2018 (under Trump) now looms large and important.   Plus there is a more conservative Supreme Court and many confirmed circuit court judges from Trump's term in office.

It would have been better for the GOP to retain the presidency, but 2nd term presidents are almost always less effective as they approach lame duck status.  

The battle for 2022 mid-terms has already started.

Trump has several rallies per day, all over an hour long, partly unscripted, and never stumbles over his words. 

Biden comes out at 1 pm every other day, manages fifty words with just a few minor gaffes, and goes into hiding for another 47 hours.

In the last ten months Biden hasn't even been asked a serious question. He has been spoon fed, had his chin wiped and his dipey changed for him and now he's going to try and take on the most important job in the world.

AKA, we're screwed.
