GET OUT: US politics November 2020

Trump won the latest batch of ballots (roughly 73K votes) from Maricopa by about 14%.

Biden gains ground in Delaware Co., PA mail ballots, Trump's statewide lead falls below 50k.

The Fox Arizona call was so premature that it verges on malpractice and you have to wonder if they weren’t just like “fuck it”.

i think privately they are sick of him

Fox's vote projections are done by an independent agency with a good reputation, apparently, so I doubt that was it.

dude who made the call was also the guy who defended the pick live on TV in 2012 with Megyn Kelly

it puts them in the precarious position of being the first to call the race for Biden

Ralph Nader complaining on Twitter about NPR not running Trump's speech, can't believe I once voted for that chucklehead

don't wanna oversimplify it but I think it's because they got confused about the way AZ counts the mail ins, they probably figured them to favor Biden heavily

and yeah I'll bet that Fox's call is the reason why they haven't called NV yet, Trump is clearly toast there

yeah but did AP make the same mistake?

i bet they did lol

it's just funny to me cos without that call, I woulda gone to sleep and wet my bed, but then other good news trickled behind it

i’ve never been so simultaneously bored & excited

More context: big Maricopa update coming shortly, but so far today 67,767 ballots counted mostly on Trump turf, and Trump has a 57/40 margin. Trump needs all of the remaining ballots to perform at 57%, and the second half of Maricopa just isn't that friendly for him.

it got more fun when I put the "new" Mr Bungle on

#BREAKING from Georgia's race for President:
Trump's lead over Biden drops to 2,497 votes.
There are at some 14,786 ballots remaining by our count.

we're not going to have an answer tonight are we

Another Maricopa call scheduled for tomorrow morning. That and the Clark report in Nevada will be the coup de grace.

I still think there’s a call tonight in both PA and GA, but late.

pennsylvania tonight?

I feel like this is a Twilight Zone ep where we keep being told moer voets, and moer voets are coming, and the voets never come, and nobody ever wins, and nobody ever loses, and we are perennially in this election forever as time becomes a loop

If this is all they have

Here's Hannity arguing that Pennsylvania should do a "do over" election pic.twitter.com/eZcaD3svee

i’ve never been so simultaneously bored & excited

lol vg

yeah at the pace PA is dropping them I reckon it's gonna be over sometime tonight

assuming it gets called as soon as Biden takes the lead there

I feel like this is a Twilight Zone ep where we keep being told moer voets, and moer voets are coming, and the voets never come, and nobody ever wins, and nobody ever loses, and we are perennially in this election forever as time becomes a loop

Every day they will count exactly half the remaining votes.

A little context on GA: rather than call I’ll say lead:

Unlike Pennsylvania, Biden won't be called the winner in Georgia if he manages to take a lead. It'll be too close, with provisionals and overseas ballots still left to go and the prospect of recount

One of 10,000 nauseating things about Hannity: his addiction to "by the way."

Clayton County in GA due to report at midnight their time.

yeah GA is gonna be so razor thin that a recount might actually overturn the result

yeah but did AP make the same mistake?

Something a follower pointed out: Mishkin worked with the AP to create the Fox News Voter Analysis System, which interviewed 100k people. It’s information that only Fox and the AP have access to and they’re the only ones who have called Arizona. https://t.co/dLNmTTQsY5

a do-over election uhh might not work the way he wants it to. esp with everybody now knowing what the end result will be anyway.

what MAGA-head is gonna stand in like 3 hours when they know Trump is likely gonna lose with or without PA and there's a David Allen Coe drive-in show that same night

been enjoying the new Bungle as well.

Anarchy Up Your Anus inadvertently became my rallying cry on Election Day

Clayton County in GA due to report at midnight their time.

It's tricky to figure out the time difference by searching for "midnight Georgia".

new york time zone

what if the midnight train was really at midnight UTC

Every day they will count exactly half the remaining votes.

trump, putting the zeno in xenophobia

Wow eephus, I have a pretty long list of "people I don't want to hear from right now."

It had not occurred to me (until now) that Ralph Nader should be on the list.

Bravo. Golf clap.

Xp lulz, Katherine, well played

Come the fuck on Georgia.

under 2k now

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just a few thousand votes
Keep Georgia on my mind

Don’t bother hitting refresh on Georgia. It’s probably won’t get called tonight even when biden takes the lead, which he will.

If it does then it will be fox again haha

still a bunch of military votes to be counted in GA, right? anyone know how those might break?

Ok but can we just praise katherine again for what I assume will be the most erudite joek of the night?

(Credit to epistantophus for the assist)

Yeah gold star to Katherine

I lol’d
