There were about 5203 military ones in Georgia in 2016. Considering those “losers and suckers” tend to favour Trump, it will need a rather healthy lead for Biden to claim Georgia.

Aye, I appreciate that it how the fuck does the process take that long potentially? It’s not like they’ve not had prior warning on the date of the election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21638 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Pennsylvania is going to be comfortable for Biden so Georgia isn't needed. I heard that actually the overseas vote tends to be democrat which cancels out the republican military vote, so its usually 50/50 anyway. Why any soldier would want to vote for the orange cunt is beyond me like. Dodged the draft 5 times with heel spurs and called their fallen comrades losers. And McCain too.

It’s not like they’ve not had prior warning on the date of the election I guess it’s down to tradition. It’s never been a major concern with the electirate college not having to be formed ahead of December. It’s only a concern because of the hyperbole that is nowadays involved. You have party politics that are getting extremely partisan, votes are quite narrow, a precedent who is not presidential and stirring covfefe plus an intensive media coverage that is exploiting all of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44956 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Biden has taken the lead in Georgia. This Stacey Abrams, who lost the Governor race due to voter suppression a couple of years ago, has spent the last two years registering 800k Democrats. She has basically done this singlehandedly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44956 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bloke in CNN making the point now that, given how litigious the Trump lot have made clear they are going to be, winning every outstanding state matters. If Biden sneaks to 270 and no further, Trump will be emboldened and will continue his insanity. If he gets to 306, which is very possible, Trump is more likely to get told by the Republican lot that it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42460 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Quote The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into whether President Donald Trump’s campaign’s use of the White House violated federal law. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) called on the watchdog to conduct a probe on Election Day, to which the agency responded that it “was not consulted on the decision to use space inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building as a campaign ‘war room.” The office’s statement also read, “Our Hatch Act Unit has opened an investigation into these allegations to determine if the Hatch Act was violated.” The Hatch Act prohibits the use of federal property for campaign events. The Republican Party hosted its election convention at the White House as well, presenting not only speeches but also a naturalization ceremony presided over by acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. Trump being investigated for holding campaign events at the Whitehouse. The intelligence community revenge begins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21954 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 they also just made the point on cnn that if biden does secure a safe republican state like georgia, the decision to go for a centrist candidate was validated and there is no way biden or warren would have won there.

NJS 4389 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I love the way there's this idea that Trump hijacked a decent party and corrupted it. Nixon, Reagan and Bush Sr were all horrible cunts and Bush Jr was a useful idiot puppet who was more than happy to just about steal an election. It's like arguing Johnson has turned the tories into cunts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 There's absolutely no chance a left winger could have won this election. We barely scraped over the line with the blandest centrist I've ever seen. However, a left winger would have won the last one. I'm incredibly pleased that Biden is winning this, I'm pleased for what it means for climate change, Brexit, and international/political norms in general. But I don't think that this particular fight is over, and the centre is going to have to very quickly come up with something more coherent and viable than "not trump" if we're going to see off this threat next time out. 4 years doesn't feel that far off. Good luck to them though, I hope they manage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) As icing on the cake to all this, apparently it's quite likely that when Trump leaves office, and therefore ceases to be a person of importance, Twitter is going to ban his ass Edited November 6, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
