U.S. Presidential Election 2020

[moXJO]

Mo, the court action is to the counting of valid votes, who does that?

If that's true it will simply be thrown out. They need a valid reason to bring it to court. Either way Trump is done.

People that can't understand why he is fighting, might not get the attitude to it. Which is basically "fight till your last breath". Needless to say you don't want to regret not trying everything you possibly can.

In saying that, he has no chance. Biden is prez.

I believe in his case it was to draw some fo the black vote away from Biden, as Kanye is a Trumpophile. It didn't work.

This is what I figured as well. But wasn't there others who ran as well?

But that is only part of the equation.

Biden might be president but without the senate, he can do nothing, seems Dems will win the lower house, if they win the Senate, going to be very interesting.

Given the rinos in the wafer thin swing states. I think dems have a good chance of passing the sensible stuff. Can always use presidential orders.

Here's the list here. Over a thousand of them.

Update on US election results Thursday evening Australia time.

Welcome to our continued live coverage of the US election. Here’s where we are up to…

• Joe Biden has won more votes than any US presidential candidate in history – but the race for the White House remains too close to call.
• Based on the states that Associated Press (AP) has called, Biden needs just one more state to get over the 270 threshold in the electoral college to be declared the winner.
• Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Alaska remain to be called. Biden has a narrow lead in Nevada, and Democrats believe he will overhaul Trump’s lead in at least one of Georgia or Pennsylvania as the last remaining votes are counted.
• The Nevada result should come through today. It is expected at lunchtime in the US, around 5pm in the UK
• There’s a slight question mark over the status of Arizona. AP and Fox News have called it for Biden, other news organisations aren’t so confident of the result, and the Trump campaign are still predicting they will ultimately win there. Biden’s lead is down to 68,000 with more mail-in ballots to count.
• Trump supporters protested at a Detroit vote-counting site, and outside a Phoenix election center. The crowd called upon Michigan election officials to “stop the vote”. In Phoenix, Trump supporters demanded the opposite, telling officials to keep counting as Biden’s lead narrowed.
• Twitter flagged more of Trump’s tweets for pushing misinformation about the election results. The president shared a tweet thread this evening trying to “claim” multiple battleground states that he has not won. Obviously, those “claims” have no legal standing in a US election.
• You can find our full live results service here.
• We also have the full results for Congress, where the Democrats’ attempt to flip the Senate appears to have faltered.
• The election isn’t the only story in town. Yesterday the US set a new world record for daily coronavirus cases, with 102,831 recorded. There were 1,097 deaths.

I’m Martin Belam, and I will be with you for the next few hours – you can get in touch with me at martin.belam@theguardian.com. And while we are settling in to our new home, you might want to have a scroll back through what has been happening overnight.

If Biden gets up given the GOP have previously blocked everything when holding the senate so I think will do so again, not a lot will happen and Presidential orders have to remain inside existing polices.

Only hope for Biden will be the elections in two years time depending how many and which senators are up.

 

[bellenuit]

People that can't understand why he is fighting, might not get the attitude to it. Which is basically "fight till your last breath".

He has no choice. I expect he and his family to be convicted of many serious fraud and other charges and will end up in jail. He has been hiding behind the cloak of the presidency up to now and that will disappear when he leaves office. I expect many of the corrupt officials that he appointed like Barr who have also been protecting him will be dumped as soon as Biden is inaugurated (assuming senate approval isn't required).

There is a lot of stuff that has been building up that the various jurisdictions have held back on, knowing that Trump and his cronies would simply stifle any prosecution. I think these will go ahead in January.

What specific thing has he done that will put him in jail.

I'm not sure.
On face value, yes. The mailed votes are running at >70% Biden.
But Trump has been going on about voter fraud for years. If he hasn't prepared for this, he's gone.

Interestingly, it appears that authentic ballots have watermarks and microdots on them.
And, with votes outstripping voter registration in the yet to be decided swing states, which is basically impossible based on historical numbers, Trump will fight this all the way.

 

[dutchie]

Trump will fight this all the way.

And so he should, although in the end it will be a waste of time.
The markets certainly are not unhappy (+2%). Probably because the Republicans will hold the Senate and be a buffer to too much Democratic extreme policies (for the next four years anyway).
A one party country is just around the corner ( and it is not Republican).
No doubt we will see the socialist side of the Democrat party be the most vocal and dominant.
The US however has shown how internally weak it is and the likes of China and Russia will benefit from this.
Further aggression from China will put our relationship to the test. But $'s and not principles will win in the end.
Stand by for further ownership of Australian assets by China and greater political influence and interference.
Don't worry we will still send all our iron ore to them, and that is what is important - is it not!

How can the Senate & House be practically sorted but not the Presidency?
It's implying that some ballots didn't down vote?

Exactly. So many inconsistencies. Only answer - ballot fraud.

Why Does Biden Have So Many More Votes Than Democrat Senators In Swing States?

There will be a run off Senate Election in Georgia for the two Senate seats on January 5th 2021.

This is probably the last opportunity for Biden to gain control of the Senate. If the Dems get these two Senators the tie is 50/50 with the Vice President Having the deciding vote

Control of U.S. Senate Hinges on Georgia Results

Democrat Raphael Warnock’s race against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler is headed to a Jan. 5 runoff, while the contest between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Sen. David Perdue could be as well.

That will change things dramatically and push forward total Democrat rule of the US in the years to come.

I'm not sure why the media thinks he has a chance. Perhaps being extra careful. It was written on the wall election night.
