How are you going?

Yeah, good thanks for asking. Just could do with about 24 hours straight sleep (I suspect I'm not the only one).

Isn’t Bidens family more Ex service than Trumps? I think Biden could get a lot of the military vote left in Georgia.

Been watching BBC News since 7.25am and they've still not mentioned the US election.

I'm afraid the BBC as been pathetic compared with CNN or even SKY.

he means votes which aren't for him.

Remember though all the late ballots in Arizona that are for Trump count, but obviously any democrat votes are fraudulent.

He also didn’t call them suckers and losers.

They’ve been terrible. I think they have deliberately lagged because they don’t have the same people to verify the developments as CNN do.

It’s not even worth discussing Trump’s comments. Let him just scream at the ocean. He’s on his way out and he can’t deal with it. Whatevs mate, c ya later hun.

By illegal votes, does he mean postal votes and early votes? Or does he mean postal votes that were received late?

There aren’t illegal votes. Trump told his followers to vote in person. Democrats did a lot of vote by mail. 
 

In a few states the republicans in charge said you can’t count the postal votes until all other votes were being counted. 
 

Trump thinks this is illegal because they are still counting the votes after the first night. Which is delusional as they’ve always counted votes after the first night. 
 

The main reason counting is still going on is because they couldn’t count postal votes in advance. 
 

Trump is complaining about a process that he engineered himself.

This thread alone has been worth eFest gold membership. 🙏

He's refusing to say what the illegal votes are but based on his behavior from the last few months;

He claims postal votes are subject to fraud (although it's been proved this is false and he himself uses mail in votes)

Tells his supporters not to vote by mail so mail in votes become heavily democratic

Starts underfunding and attacking the US post

Then Republicans put legislation in which means mail in votes are counted last so on the night results favors him, more verification is done on them so they are more likely to be rejected and in certain states they can't arrive after the election.

So yeah, like others have said it's votes against him.

 

Stop The Count!

But that is deliberate. He engineered this situation so he could complain about it.

But it's not going to work.

That didn't help him too much in Arizona.

When you think of all the shit he has said though, it is so amazing that he has done so well.

Worth noting also that Trumps team stalled the counting of votes in Pennsylvania until election night which has delayed Biden’s inevitable win. If PA had been allowed to count early, this would all be over now.

Ah. An advert.

Finally started to watch CNN this morning...man I miss American ads. Plugging prescription drugs you can badger your doctor to give you is just the oddest thing ever!

People love the ignorance he’s brought to the table, and although his COVID response should’ve ended him undisputedly, it appears a lot of people are bored of COVID now and so want to follow Trump’s ‘let’s just ignore it and move on’ response.

Georgia margin down to 665. Biden needs 666 to take the lead. Pretty fitting.

And re: military ballots, theyve received and counted them and there isn’t going to be any that could come in which make a difference.

They also claimed premature victory in PA.

My dad made a great point last night. Whether or not he’s surrounded by people that tell him, you can see the writings of political analysts all over this. I reckon some people knew in trumps team that he was on track to lose - probably by some data they had which we haven’t seen. Everything his team have done and where he has claimed victory is so strange. It’s almost as if they knew these states were going to flip blue at the last moment!

 Thats why you just go to Mexico and get em all without any issues. But now everyones going to move to Oregon since all of the drugs have been decriminalized.

 

Anyone want to have that conversation of all the ballot measures that passed or didnt pass 3 days ago? You’ll be surprised at a lot of them such as the slavery one in Nebraska.

This is definitely what happened. They knew all the last to be counted postal voting would be strongly in Bidens favour, so they announced victory whilst it was still in Trumps favour and claimed anything that came after was illegitimate/illegal. The most transparent, stupid and predictable plan.

For anyone who missed Trumps speech last night, here it is in full. 
 

Can’t timestamp it from my phone but Trump appears at 23:57. It’s about a 15 minute ramble.

Followed by the insanely quick reading of all the side affects which is still almost as long as the ad itself. I picture someone in the recording studio, red faced, bloodshot eyes, tie askew, hair all over the place "No, gimme one more chance, I can get it quicker goddamit"
