Would be cool to shatter records for biggest tele-rally ever. Millions of laptops, streaming live.

"They had to use a billion "BOTS" to overcome my "record" breaking inauguration crowds!" - Trump, not clear on how numbers, or computers, work.

No, if he loses he made some campaign mistakes.

If he wins, he still made some campaign mistakes.

How do you counter Trump's outrageous lies when people choose to believe him?

I think you'd need PhD level marketing and even then it may be an impossible task.
 
There haven't been any new numbers for a long time. Does anyone know if any more are expected tonight?

I'm not sure he could have done things much differently.

The only thing I can think of would have been to do door-to-door campaigning during the pandemic, and that could have backfired, too.

Biden got more votes than ANYONE in US history - I have a hard time seeing that as a failure.
 
It's clear now Trump, like all other populists, considers democracy only a tool to get to power and then would like to discard it when it runs counter to his wishes.

How to the republicans here that are not openly advocating a white supremacist state excuse that?

Or should he take lessons from Erdogan, Madura, Putin etc and just declare himself winner, as those voting against him are not True Americans and therefore their votes are not real?
 
Update for GA at 00:23 ET:

Biden gains 5910 (80.4%) of the last 7347 votes to be counted; Trump gains 1437 (19.6%).
Trump's lead in GA now stands at 28,827.

Awaiting an update for AZ which is supposed to be soon.

Georgia per the NYT:

Nevada:
Timing of results: After suggesting that they may release additional results on Wednesday, state officials in Nevada reverted to their original plan of updating results Thursday at noon Eastern. Remaining votes include mail ballots received on Election Day, those that will arrive over the next week and provisional ballots.

Pennsylvania:
Timing of results:The remaining mail ballots are expected to favor Democrats. Officials have said they expect most votes will be counted by Friday, Nov. 6.

North Carolina (whatever it means)

Biden has 264 and only needs one of those. Trump needs them all.

This was a record setting turnout. It's tough to get more votes than the most ever, especially when the guy you're facing got the second most ever. There's not too many people left to get more votes from.

On CNN, it said that DeKalb County was completely finished, and Fulton County had 17,000 left. Their map still shows 95% in.

So, if there are really 5% left to count, I don't know where they are coming from.

While the NYT hasn't called AZ for Biden, other outlets have:
Timing of results:Officials in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, said they will release another results update after 1 a.m. Eastern on Thursday, followed by an update after 9 a.m. Eastern.

So Trump takes GA?

Are they trying to stop the Arizona count or is that one legally okay (in the Trumpoverse) because Trump might win it?

I think they were trying to stop the count. If they were, they are idiots. If they weren't, they're still idiots because they threatened the polling place so much that they stopped the count for the night.

Highly recommend everyone stops feeding the troll. Let's face it, his last so many posts have been trying to justify why he has the right to post ******** even if he knows it is ********.
Click to expand...

You're right. It was entertaining for awhile. Now, it's just predictable and boring. Snooze fest.
 
It looks like GA is Trumps but it is so close I can see why they are hesitant to call it
 
It's already 1 a.m. EST so something soon in AZ

ETA: AP has called AZ for Biden but there are still votes out.

ETA2: And I don't think the AP call was new.
