Presidential Election 2020 Biden vs. Trump

Quote: Dalex64

The same standard should be applied to the entire state.

Well, that is the rationale behind the SCOTUS decision in Bush v. Gore. Yet we never heard the end of how that decision was somehow wrong.

Scott Adams makes an interesting point.
Looks like another election where fake
polls ruled the day. Magically they are
all concluding that it's a toss up, Biden
isn't ahead by double digits. Who benefits
from fake polls? The very people who
spew them out. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN/MS,
every media outlet. They cause people
to send money to both sides and most
of that money goes right to the media
as advertising. Biden's campaign topped
a billion dollars from the tech giants
and Hwood this year because they thought
he had a chance of winning, which he never
really had. Suckers...

Great point. Even locally, the number of TV ads for one state lawmaker or the other is staggering.

Local polls. I still remember the election cor county commissioner of Monroe County (Rochester metro.) They had the Democrat behind by 20 points. The Democrat said they did not believe the polls.

He lost by 40%!

I thought it was wrong to only recount part of florida.

Huh?

The latest polls indicate Biden has a national lead of around 8-9 points.

No, not double digits. But also not a toss up.

This is unreal. 10's of thousands at
a Trump PA rally last night. Polling
at the site says at least 45% of the
crowd was registered Dems.

I'm pretty confident in the polls
Look at 2018
Polls said Dems would take the House
Dems took the House
Republicans always silent on 2018 House polls and the results lol
I won a 100 bucks on Dems winning the House in 2018 :-)
Dems winning the House in 2018 without a virus and the economy humming is telling
Unemployment and the Virus = Landslide

The cat is out of the bag: Donny plans to declare victory before the election is called on Tuesday night.

I’ve been saying this is his plan for months. Claim victory and try to get the courts to force states to STOP COUNTING the votes.

Pitiful.

The sad and scary thing is, people who are ignorant of the law and the ballot counting process might believe him.
That could lead to civil unrest and violence.

Some states won't start counting mail in ballots until election day, and those states will be busy with in person voting. Some counties in PA, for example, are not planning to count the mail in ballots until after the polls have closed, or even not until the following day.

If trump convinces people that counting these ballots, which were received before election day, is evidence of "fraud" then things could get really ugly.
