B...but I thought we need to count every vote, not just every vote that's for my candidate!

I feel like people are choosing sides the same way they pick a sportsball team.
You know both of these options suck right? Trump is a dipshit, but Biden is just a brainless mouthpiece that'll sign whatever papers the highest bidder wants. Neither are good options and neither will do anything but add to the misery of this country.

It just occurred to me how the little photos they use for candidates on the summary tallies should change with the way the race is going. So have like a series of photos, and change them throughout. So it should have started with a photo of Biden looking confident and Trump nervous, through Biden looking pained and Trump gleeful, and end with Biden with a weak, relieve smile, and Trump in the middle of a full-blown tantrum.
Republicans gained in the house but it is still controlled by Democrats. Were the Senate Democrat (and it isn't) I don't know if Biden would have moved for DC Statehood and to pack the court or not.
Pretty much, we have Donald "Lock them up" Trump on one side and Joe "Shoot'em in the Leg" Biden on the other side.
I'm happier that Biden won in the same way I'd be happier getting a $100,000 medical bill over a $400,000 medical bill. Sure, one is "technically" better but that means jack shit to me when both are going to ruin me...
Especially since the House and Senate are still a clusterfuck so now we get to see them play the "Well Joe Biden WANTED to do XYZ but he couldn't because those MEAN OLD REPUBLICANS wouldn't let him!!!!" card. So super, another 4 years of nothing fundamentally changing and then we start again in 2024...
Hmm, no that's not what they're doing. Democrats made it so ballots mailed in before or on election day, but received afterwards can still be counted. Trump's guy is telling people to mail in ballots now, after election day and the cut off day. To fill out ballots after the election and mail them in, thinking voting and voting count are the same thing, when they're not.
I like the idea. I'll try to get to work on what I'd post ASAP. If no one else does by the time Trump concedes, I'll create one.
BTW: Scary even to me: Trump may try to tie the election up in the courts so long that electors will have to vote without taking disputed states votes into account. I dunno. If that happens, Trump would lose even me.
...Every vote for...What are you even on about? This isn't new information, you know. "Ballots will still need to be postmarked on Election Day but can take three days after polls close to arrive at election offices to be counted." It never covered votes that weren't even put in the mailbox until 2 days after election day, and asking people to do so is literally soliciting voter fraud. How is that a controversial or partisan statement?
Kinda digressing here but... from your article, " First, we know that Gore won Florida in 2000. If a full, fair statewide recount had taken place, he would have become president. " It was Gore's own lawyer that stated that while the recount law held that if a recount occurs, all votes are to be recounted, the judge should read that to meanAnd let's not forget that Gore actually won Florida. But gave up. A good example of things to come with some members of the Democratic Party. That's why I became a Progressive.

"all the votes we want to count." My recollection: they did not want a full recount.
Statistically speaking, a recount should not have a different result than the 1st count. Yet as time progressed, Gore did gain votes, closing, I think 2,500 to 500.
A public healthcare option, workplace protections, anti-discrimination legislation, the Paris Agreement, funding for the WHO, etc.
Both options are shit, but to imagine there isn't an enormous gulf between them on the issues above is absurd. And this stuff is goddamn important to a lot of people.
I mean, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what Biden's like, since he likely won't make it through one year before he steps down for Harris to take up the job.
Trump's vote margin in latest Maricopa County ballot count is well short of what he needs to catch Biden
Trump received 50.6% of the 62,787 votes released by Maricopa County at 9 a.m. Friday, to former Vice President Joe Biden's 45%.

In short, Trump is catching up in Arizona but it's looking like he his pulling in less votes than needed to come out on top. Updated vote tally at 7pm tonight.
