Small correction. GA has 16 electoral votes. Same as Michigan. Still not enough to overturn the election though if everything else stays the same.

So logically the votes we saw were mostly from the walk-ins.

It's no mystery that many Repubs opted for walk-ins for whatever reason.
And most Dems opted for Mail in for other reasons.


So...as the mail ins were tallied up., We started to see the bulk of Dem votes filling in and overtake the walk-ins.

Seems intuitive.

Now,.I am not saying there wasn't any funny business while those mail ins were in the ether floating around.

But just understanding why Trump had the lead at first.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

If there had been no pandemic the mail-in option would not have been very popular, and would not have been encouraged.

States like Pennsylvania and Arizona would have shown as Biden/blue right away, the same night, in the same proportions.

What people don't seem to take into account is that other than for Trump, the Republicans did fairly well. What is being suggested is that somehow there was massive fraud, but there was only one office affected by it ... ticket-splitting fraudsters? Is that a thing?

LOL, I can see OP is still in Baghdad Bob mode. Sad and funny at the same time.

This is an observation that bears more attention. As a Party, they are doing well. They just lost their Spokesperson.

If Republicans maintain control of the Senate, the bolded won’t happen.

Republicans I’ve talked to would rather have Biden in any capacity than have Harris....and 2/3 vote of the Senate would be required for Kamala to serve out the rest of Joe’s term

How is that even possible?

A recount is a recount, everything should be looked at.

Once impeached, that is permanent, like a red mark..

Only two other presidents have been impeached...both in second term and not running for re election..

Didn’t you finish 7th grade? They teach this there

You're asking for WAY too much in this forum.

I actually read the OP linked article at Gateway Pundit.

Some guy who gives himself a bunch of titles, but is basically a businessman, coincidentally just like Trump and all the other self-appointed CEOs. And someone is using this guy as a credible source? But what does MyPillow Guy think?

This guy is just another extreme alt-right BS artist. I'm going to go with the guys who analyze politics for a living.

Here is how he describes himself:

..."WAYNE ALLYN ROOT is a CEO, entrepreneur and successful businessman like his mentor Donald Trump. He is the host of nationally-syndicated "Wayne Allyn Root: Raw and Unfiltered" on USA Radio Network and former host of national TV show "WAR Now: The Wayne Allyn Root Show" on Newsmax TV. He is a bestselling Conservative author and syndicated columnist and a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee. A key ally of Trump from the beginning, Root aims to share the secrets to a successful life through the lens of the forty-fifth president of the United States..."

I rest my case.

i havent even seen his face since his press conf a week ago. wild animal is a bit much. its really his team duking it out at this point.

it will play itself out one way or another, by january senior puppet will be posted in the whitehouse (im sure its got a cool basement) and his crew will be running the show.

should be interesting
