Stacey Brams appreciation day imo

Abrams even

Oh, I think I've misrepresented the 1970 plan, which was indeed to abolish the EC and replace with a popular vote system, not just get rid of the winner-takes-all part

Today’s the day. I’ve had a bottle of bubbly sitting patiently in the fridge since Tuesday night, it’s getting popped whenever the call comes.

It’s probably not getting announced today either, right?

PA seemed to manage to churn through 250k ballots yesterday and there's supposedly fewer than that remaining (in fact, the figure just dropped by 70k on that alex.github.io site without a change in race, which is slightly jarring). So... maybe?

― Michael Jones, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:05 (five years ago)

It will be announced today. Philly votes will put Biden over in PA, at least, and probably by a wide margin eventually, thus unable to really be litigated as in Georgia.

Nevada expecting to release more vote counts by noon EST.

― Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:08 (five years ago)

Good morning.

to be clear for non-Americans itt, by "announced" we mean consensus call by reporting outlets

the closest thing we have in this system to an announcement comes in the form of a concession speech, which...uh....

(just reminding that we are not voting for candidates here but for electors, so technically this goes on for a long time + secretaries of state ratifying results etc.)

ratifying=certifying

I didn't know Alaska was still up in the air? at least it is on the CNN map

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:25 (five years ago)

About 15 minutes until 20K PA votes reported

― groovypanda, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:25 (five years ago)

AK not really up in the air, just counting votes slowly

― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:28 (five years ago)

― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:29 (five years ago)

Good morning!

― real muthaphuckkin jeez (crüt), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:31 (five years ago)

I didn't know Alaska was still up in the air?

It just looks that way where it's placed on the map. We call that "north."

Mr. Alex Github doesn't have PA flipped yet though...?

― Evan, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:55 (five years ago)

damn if he gets GA, PA, AZ, and NV people are going to have to change the narrative about Biden

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:55 (five years ago)

― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:56 (five years ago)

Neanderthal would have only had to stay up another 7 hours to see it.

― epistantophus, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:57 (five years ago)

No news outlet's called the election yet though

― Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:57 (five years ago)

So glad my two dozen votes in rural Pennsylvania counted!

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:58 (five years ago)

I stopped at 9 votes, because a precise dozen would have looked too obvious.

― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:58 (five years ago)

The President tab at Decision Desk HQ is quietly showing 273 without making a song and dance about it.

Thank fuck, I can hardly believe it. Now we just have to get someone to drag his ass out of the WH when his lame duck visitor’s pass expires.

― epistantophus, Friday, 6 November 2020 13:59 (five years ago)

No one wants to be the outlet that calls the race first

― real muthaphuckkin jeez (crüt), Friday, 6 November 2020 13:59 (five years ago)

he doesn't need AZ, NV or GA now
I guess the WI recount is still outstanding
