Nevada counting votes individually between spins of the roulette wheel? There’s hardly any people in the whole state FFS.

It's almost all in Vegas and they're not really set up for counting postal votes. And they mailed a postal ballot to everyone, so as a proportion of the population it's much higher than other states.

Add to that they allow postal votes to arrive till November 10th

And another of Trump’s baseless legal actions bites the dust

“ A Michigan judge has dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit demanding “meaningful access” to vote-counting sites.

The decision comes one day after the AP declared Joe Biden to be the winner in Michigan and its 16 electoral votes.

The Biden campaign has dismissed the lawsuits as “meritless” attempts to distract from the Democratic nominee’s victories in key states.”

So they reckon there's around 550,000 mail votes in PA left to count. Biden needs 60% of them to win.

Currently he's winning the mail in ballots by 78%

Not if Biden also wins Arizona. Then he's at 270 and it's game over - without him even needing PA.

Someone inside the WH said a few weeks ago that they weren't preparing for a transition; which might have been just bravado; but given who we're talking about; probably wasn't.

Like everything else; the transition will be a clusterfuck, with the scum trying to pardon himself, & all his lackeys out of prison, & shoving as much cash as he can into his businesses

They're out. It's down to around 47k to go in GA. That's going to be so tight that delayed military overseas votes could swing it

Yeah, it's certainly possible they're fudging the number, because they know the number of ballots on hand, & they know the number they've sent out, & the percentage counted is based on the larger number.
