Had fun railing the election.

Can someone please explain this market

https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/politics/market/1.170918115



The market is the number of Democrats in the senate, the 1.02 fav is 48 as there are 2 independents (Bernie Sanders is one of them) who vote with the Democrats on most issues. So while you see 50/50 split in the media today as the likely outcome but that isn’t technically true but it is in practical terms.

I assume it is settled on 2020 results ie 48/50.  That will explain the prices anyway.  As this run off took place in 2021, it doesn't count.   Betfair have made a right horlicks of these markets, so who knows?

Even with all this going on he still goes on about the stolen election whilst telling them to go home. 

He lost by 7 million.

Mad scenes and Trump as shameless as ever.

Still surprised by the coverage though - maybe I'm way too complacent and naive or have too much faith in historic institutions but painting this as some kind of violent attempted coup or that a rabble of a few thousand people is some genuine assault on democracy just seems so hyperbolic.

Republicans have dug themselves a massive hole by not rejecting his post election narrative outright and perversely it's quite good to see him go out looking like an even big loser, if that were possible.

I got slightly detracted somehow.  Funnily enough on the same newscast...

It would be nice but it's how he would prefer it as well.

"It says Where a runoff is required to determine who wins Senate seats we will wait for the result of the runoff before settling the market on the final Senate seat numbers once all results are in ***Updated 07/11/2020***"#

FINAL senate seat numbers. I dunno. Final number can't be 98 right?

Trump's Twitter account has been suspended by Twitter.

That's my morning entertainment down the pan.

Back at it, and from what I can make out, I think they've given up on objecting the results, bar Hawley.

See what happens now, as Arizona is the point they're continuing from.
