Well this is the first U.S election I have taken any interest in, after 65 years on the planet, so at least it has struck a chord for the first time. Lol

The ABC (Australia) has it Biden 212/ Trump 119, but in very small letters they say "with ABC predictions". post # 192 at 11.40a.m
Three hours later Biden 226/ Trump 175, ABC might be best just to report actual figures and drop predictions. Lol post #205 at 1.56p.m
Another three hours later Biden 238/ Trump 213, but the good thing is the ABC has dropped its prediction, I don't know who was paid for that waste of space. ?

Just watching Bloomberg and they gave the rules for Nevada. Apparently mail in ballots can be dated up to today and must be received by Nov 10th. Counting is allowed up to Nov 12th.
If they are the rules set for that state, why should a candidate try to override them

170k vote dump with 30k for Trump in Wisconsin. Seems legit.
They found them.

Well that begs the next question, has anybody tried to override them? Or is it ramping by the media? time will tell.
It certainly has been an interesting four years, it will be good when everything goes back to normal and all the plebs have to worry about is what fast food they are having on Friday night. ?
Also the media will be able to just return to talking about sport and how the latest movie star has broken their nails, life was so much easier back then.
Just my thoughts.

Been watching some analysts. In some states like Florida they counted the postal votes in advance so they would be ready on the night it takes a lot of time to count them, you have to check the signature, the security number, allocate it to the right area etc. This happens every election and they have a few weeks to do it after the date of the election.
What happened this year is in the swing states in the north east, as they were Republican controlled, they stopped any pre counting. The cynical plan was then to claim the election on the night and say the votes are corrupt.
In fact, in these states, as the voting continues the Democrats will catch up and likely win.
Biden is by far the most likely to win this election from the figures seen. As he has Arizona he only needs 2 out of the 4, any 2. Trump needs 3.
Biden has possibly won unless Trump can stop the votes being counted i can't seeing this happening.
Michigan for instance will likely be won by Biden. It overall is too close to call though.

Voting early and often is essential in democracies. Especially in the USA.
For example if one were American and had a friend whose intended vote you know who dies, or perhaps is unwell, or even in mourning having had a bad run shorting stocks subject to takeover, would it not be the gentlemanly thing for one to vote for him or her according to his or her preference.
The more votes counted, the better the result.

Ballots appearing in boxes from out of nowhere. By the exact amount Biden needed to win it by.
And that's it people. Looking at what's left, it's now president Biden for the next 4 years.
Bust open the champagne Bas all that hard shilling paid off.?

Oh well back to business as usual, more Chinese made stuff = more minerals and more fifo.
We might get some bigger warehouses, so we don't get caught out without masks and toilet paper, next time. ?
Time will tell, I guess.
At least the papers can get back to climate change.

Rules for Pennsylvania: Postal votes allowed up until election day. Will be counted if they arrive in the following 3 days.
The justices divided 4-4 on Monday, an outcome that upholds a state Supreme Court ruling that required county election officials to receive and count mailed-in ballots that arrive up until Nov. 6, even if they don't have a clear postmark, as long as there is not proof it was mailed after the polls closed.
Now its back to listening to: climate, vegan, lgbt, social justice warrior, PC and hurt feelings whinging.Oh well back to business as usual, more Chinese made stuff = more minerals and more fifo.

Itsa pyrrhic victory if it happens. No control of the Senate so the first thing that will happen is that the stimulus will be turned off by the Republicans and Biden will oversee 4 years of USA recession and achieve no change and watch the courts remove healthcare for poor people.Now its back to listening to: climate, vegan, lgbt, social justice warrior, PC and hurt feelings whinging.

Better for the Dems and the people that he fails and Trump continues but for a lot of Republicans actually in politics this is the ideal. They will be back in complete control in 4 years and have got rid of Trump.
Really sucks.

Disinformation being spread.
Everyone knew the postal votes would cut towards Biden.
As I said earlier, the Republicans stopped early counting in the swing states which meant due to the long process of checking that Biden would start behind and slowly catch up.
The next question is whether Trump will deliberately create civil unrest. He seems willing to do and say anything.
