Fucking hell is this ever gonna end. Iām looking forward to the virus thread taking off again.
72 million votes for record breaker Joe. And counting.
What a glorious result against all odds 
He wrote it in caps so it must be true.
Maybe he means votes cast, or maybe heās a headerā¦or both. The point I was making was about his statement on the night of the election where everyone got their knickers in a twist when he said stop voting
A bit like that time he told everyone to inject themselves full of bleach

no not really
Absentee voting by mail has been around in the US since the mid 1800s. Every state has allowed it in some shape or form since the 1940s.
Yes but the votes usually have to be on site for election day. The recent changes to the one PA which allows votes be counted if they are posted on the day of the election is pretty new AFAIK.

Itās not. Post marked by Election Day has been in use in many states for a long time. This is esp true for military votes.
Most states continue counting ballots for weeks after the election, you just donāt hear about it because the numbers used to be small enough as to not affect the outcome of the election.
Nearly certain they had to be on site for election day. Military abroad had special collections and if there was a delay in getting those back there may have been exceptions but as you state this hasnāt been decisive. I donāt believe that if you are resident in the country that there was a relaxation
The rules for mail in voting were changed this year due to covid.
This year in some states every registered voter was sent their ballot in the post.
Probably the way its going to go but I suppose if you can do your banking on line th eday when we are all voting on line isnāt far off.
I have Biden losing Georgia by 11,354 with 55,000 votes left and a gap of 14,857.
Las Vegas has voted for Sleep Joe

None of that has anything to do with what I wrote about the reality of racial inequality being a big factor in how people voted. But Iāll generously acknowledge that your shift to talking about Congress and Obamacare is as close as youāll get to conceding the point.

If you feel this election is a great victory then Iām genuinely happy for you. I can assure you a lot of Democrats in the US donāt regard it as much of a victory, as regardless of the differences between progressives and moderates on the issues, the result is nothing will get done.
Yeah, itās not much of a race really - more of a slog.
The election represents a rejection of Trumpās vulgarity by the educated American.
@Thomas_Brady the only plan that really makes sense for Trump is to try and get his neck ahead in Arizona or Nevada and then immediately launch a nationwide case to stop all counting in every state. He hasnāt been able to do that yet because Biden is ahead in AZ and NV. Heās gaining in Arizona so that might change.
A weak narrative even for you
