They got it from us!

(I have no idea. The video I saw was from Cobo Hall. You may hear it called TCF center. We still call it Cobo Hall. I could not actually verify that the white cardboard was a pizza box.)

It makes sense. Pizza boxes are sure to be an available resource in a counting center.

Odd how we don't have Democrats trying to intimidate election workers anywhere that aren't going their way, only Trumpers protesting outside election sites that aren't going their way. Oh, wait...no, it's not odd at all. And thus we see the difference in not only leadership but in those who follow those leaders.

The Trumpers could burn down an entire voting site in a Democratic Neighborhood and none of the Trumpers on this board would even acknowledge it until someone on the Left was "too dramatic" about it.

Please provide evidence that a court order was ignored.

Oh it wasn't.

A state court in Pennsylvania granted the Trump campaign’s request to have its election observers stand closer to the vote counting process, delivering a win to the Trump campaign as they’ve challenged rules regarding the vote counting process in multiple battleground states and reportedly temporarily halting the counting process in Philadelphia.

A Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court judge overturned a lower court ruling and ruled that election observers can stand “within six feet” of the vote counting process, after the Trump campaign had accused election officials of “hiding the ballot counting and processing from our Republican poll observers” by forcing them to stand further away.

The lawsuit was one of two the Trump campaign filed Wednesday in Pennsylvania as vote counting continues in the battleground state, as well as a motion to intervene in a U.S. Supreme Court case concerning Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting deadline.

The Trump campaign hailed the decision as an “important legal victory,” but the decision may ultimately have little impact in Pennsylvania, where third party observers cannot challenge individual mail-in ballots.

Philadelphia temporarily halted its vote counting in the immediate aftermath of the ruling, which the Philadelphia Inquirer reports was so officials could comply with the ruling and move observers closer to the vote counting process, but it has since resumed.

So no.
 
My concern now is at least some of these states are almost certainly going to wind up legitimately close enough to automatically trigger a recount. Which is fine in the abstract, but it's just more time for Trump to whine and lie and spew conspiracy theories.
 
PA State Secretary today said counting is faster when difference is greater, and the closer the race is, it takes longer to count.

Anyone can explain why??

If Biden only takes GA, it ends up tied in the electoral college, and the House of Representatives gives it to Trump.

Biden needs either Pennsylvania or any other two states.

You might want to recheck your math there.

GA would cover for any loss in AZ.

That just leaves NV. And if AZ holds, it's over. I'm not sure about holding AZ though.

And unless some of the remaining votes are significantly different from the last 10 or 20K counted, Biden is going to win Georgia!

Have to admit, I find all of this so frustrating... That the Democrats did not get the big breakthroughs they were expecting, that Moscow Mitch will still probably be able to screw up the country, that it is taking sooooo long to count some of the last ballots.

But, I do find some consolation in the idea that as frustrating as it is for us, it must be torture for Stubby McBonespurs to gradually watch his lead slowly slip away.

Maybe so. Soon that will be answered. Videos will show up online.

I saw them on Fox, including cardboard put on the windows, blocking the view into the counting area. Probably nothing to worry about as all this is perfectly legal.

Are you speaking of the case of that happening where there's a bunch of protestors against counting legitimate votes?

My thoughts go to Hillary saying, "Payback's a bitch, Trumpy."

Because she lost by such small margins it's only fitting that Trump is mirroring that result.
