Featured United States 2020 General Elections - November 3rd

[Oruc]

I think persons counting votes are enjoying their moment.

US Elections are Joke.
Some states won't release results until 12 Nov. Crap

 

[Enigma SIG]

Elections are not easy to rig in USA irrespective of rumors and claims floating in the air due to adequate monitoring mechanisms in place and values attached to this development. Donald Trump will alienate even more people if he goes down this route in his rhetoric.

Khalai Makhlooq have same powers everywhere regardless :p.

Joe Biden has just taken the lead in Georgia by 917 votes and counting at 4:30 am on Friday morning.

GA turned blue

 

[That Guy]

I don't support Trump, But the way they count the leftover votes slowly is a red flag.

Its Coronavirus issue, which pushed a lot of mail in ballots.

There is no red flag here.

A little bit of research goes a long way.

Coronavirus delay, deal with it.

Besides, it doesn't matter, as we should find out the declared winner tomorrow.

GA turned blue

Yup.

Wasn't expecting that. I thought Trump might edge it out by a couple of hundred votes, but now Biden has almost a thousand vote lead, which is only going to get bigger from here on.

Still reads the same heading on CNN since morning , sure taking their time to count votes whole week ?

Coronavirus changed the way the voting works, so we have a whole lot of mail in ballots, which take way more time to process than walk in ballots.

It doesn't matter at this point. Biden just took Georgia, which means that Trump has no path to the presidency now.

Biden will take Pennsylvania sometime by tomorrow, and its game over.

Lindsay Gharaam is saying time to stand behind Trump claims. Coming days will be very dirty for American electoral process. Delays in results is like giving excuses to Trump and his rhetoric. He is using it to his advantage. Having said this, his media address few hours back was depicting a picture of a man who is dejected, lacking energy, reading from the paper like having nothing to say.

Lindsay graham and Mitch McConnell are both so self serving, to put it politely. Mark my words, as soon as Trump is out of power, they're gonna distance themselves from him, and even start talk bad about him as soon as they can.

Even with a surge of postal ballots, they should not have taken that long to count than normal votes. So its a terrible excuse to blame corona. They have political motivation to slow the count.

You don't understand the system. They're still counting ballots in states like California because of the sheer amount of them and that they were told to count the walk-in ballots first and then the absentee ones, but in states like California it is mathematically impossible for trump to win with the remaining ballots so they call it, but there are several states that are still counting ballots that have called the winner, happens every election.

Twitter is flagging almost all his tweets tonight because exactly that reason. He's misleading the public with lies about the election and fraud etc. and that's against the rules because of exactly what you said.

I'm aware of that, doesn't make sense that few last percentage of the vote takes 10 times as long to count.

Counting ballots manually is always quite long, Indonesia is the example (with the population relatively more comparable to USA than Malaysia), but as Indonesian Election Commission (KPU) allows independence survey companies to do quick count so the result can be known within 3-4 hours after the cast period is over.

Quick count that is done by independent institution/survey companies will also serve as protection to avoid the election from being possibly cheated. Quick count is not an official number, but it is accepted as reliable system since the result produced by QC survey (by various respected survey companies) so far always matchs with the official result.

Quick count is a method for verification of election results by projecting them from a sample of the polling stations. Different from an exit poll, voters are not asked who they voted for, projection of results is based on official results of the polling station. Parallel vote tabulation is another name for quick count.

so trump will loss and we will see civil war in USA

 

[OldTwilight]

Look like American politicians decided to not let Trump win at any cost ... Postal votes is main tool in key for their evil scheme ...

any way , the best result for Iran is Biden wining and trump not accept it ... now , one of main supporter of so called Green movement of Iran ( in 2009 ) will face same situation ...

although , I feel sorry for Americans ... the country they built is stolen from them by the people who migrate to USA in past 60 years ( not mentioning some gays , liberals and people I generally consider as corrupted by evil ) ....

just like historical events when nomads migrate from far away and in some point , take over the owner and builder of the civilizations ...

Exactly, quick count first then re-count. Otherwise people will start shouting ballot stuffing. Republican are now ranting about this.

 

[Taimoor Khan]

How is that strange? This has been explained multiple times.

Trump told his voters to vote in person, Biden told his voters to do mail in, because of COVID.

There is nothing strange going on here.

And there is ZERO evidence of fraud, and ZERO evidence of poll rigging.

In Pennsylvania, all the officials, from the governor, to the election officials are ALL Republican, and they're all saying there is ZERO fraud going on.

Stop believing everything Trump tells you, don't be a sheep.

Before his conference even began, I wrote the following.....

Its rather stupid explaination tbh.

You are making Trump and Biden sound like fuhrer, that common folks, their supports, will obey them like mindless zombies.

Look, if I am casting my vote, I will look for my own convince considering my own situation, health risk, and other factors. If I deem mail-in is more convenient for me and safe way to cast my vote, irrespective of who I vote, I will go mail-in route. If in a constituency, a candidate is winning by a margin through the vote of people who turned up on polling station, physically to cast their vote, then all of sudden, the losing candidate turn the table through mail-in votes, that in most cases should not happen, as the ratio of "physically cast in votes" in a particular constituency to the "mail-in votes" SHOULD NOT alter that much and swing that extreme. THIS IS WHAT LOGIC DICTATES.
