You have to love the idea that the Democrats are able to run this sophisticated election rigging operation and yet, in an election where they are forecast to win the Senate, manage to rig it so that they don't win the Senate.

Playing devil's advocate here, perhaps Democrats thought they needed so many votes that people filling out fraudulent ballots only voted for president.

It seems to be getting noticed that in a lot of the swing states a lot of the votes were only for President. Funnily enough, the majority of these were for Biden.

Didn't see that but it sounds painful. They've really snookered themselves by having an independent decision desk.

A Pennsylvania court has just ordered that ballots cured by having the voter come in to fix a signature etc are to be set aside and not counted (until a Court decides whether they can be included or not). It seems that it'll only be implemented for the ballots not yet counted, as it's not possible to go back on those already processed. Sounds like the basis for a further complaint.

Georgia is gonna take ages longer. It's heading for a recount once they're done as it's so close (1,561 difference out of 4.9m votes). Quote from the official who said there'll be a recount - "Some of us went to high schools that had more people than the difference between these two candidates".

Military votes yet to come in. Regardless of who wins, recount on the cards. Isn't Georgia a state that recounts anything within a 0.5% diff range anyway?

Candidates can ask for a recount if the difference is less than 0.5% (which would be about 25,000), but it's not automatic if they don't ask for it. Or the State can decide itself to do one for a variety of reasons, which seems to be what is happening.


Rod Blagojevich is moralising. About fraud! Brilliant.
For those who don't know, this is the Illinois Democrat Governor who went to prison for a long list of frauds and corruption, including trying to sell Obama's vacated Senate seat, to which he had the power to appoint a replacement. Trump set him free earlier this year, with six years still to serve, so he owes him a lot.

I saw a comment from some Republican politician piling in on how unseemly Trump is being - he said something along the lines of that every US election has irregularities because they're big and complicated affairs. But that they make barely any difference to the overall result.

I'm guessing Trump is hoping that if he casts a wide enough net he'll manage to get something that actually makes a difference somewhere that is really close but realistically I think he just wants a narrative to say that he never lost, it was stolen and even the courts were in on it.

Surely if there was ever going to be a massive election fraud, this would be the one.

Having a large % of ballots posted via Mail is just asking for trouble.

If anything does come from these lawsuits, I hope both sides are investigated. It's pretty apparent them the Democrats most likely of the two parties to have cheated, but that's not to say the other side isn't doing the same to some extent.

Why is it?

Philadelphia is one of the only counties in Pennsylvania where Trump has done better than 2016. The Trump campaign aren’t even trying to spread logical rumours of fraud as they know it doesn’t matter to their base, as they will eat up anything they feed them. This is all about Trumps ego and where he goes next.

How can a state count 99% of its vote in a few hours but be unable to count the remaining 1% in three days?

postal votes need a signature check

The last ballots will be a mixture of disputed ballots, ballots that have been partially damaged, if you have a president shouting fraud all the time you are going to be very careful about how you count these with observers disputing them. Also there are  provisional ballots where a person votes on the day but requested a vote by mail so it has to be checked that it hasn’t been duplicated and military/overseas late arriving ballots.

Some states have a late date for when ballots can be counted of 10 November or 12 November.  So long as they are postmarked on 3 November or earlier they still count.  This is why North Carolina has been on 99% for a couple of days and can't finish.

Another new record day for Covid infections, 125,000, including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. It was amazing that he didn't get it a month ago when the rest of them did. He was with the President several times in public around that time without either of them having masks, and you can't imagine they were more careful in private, but he kept testing negative. Now he's got it, and he's been with everyone this week, including at the White House party on election night, when hardly anyone had a mask, including him. More White House or campaign team infections won't be a surprise.
