I'm a selfish bastard but I'm happy Biden won, now the US dollars I've been earning the past few weeks will be worth more in my currency.

It only showed up for me literally 30 seconds or so ago. Fox still hasn't updated their actual map yet.

edit: Fox map now updated.

I'm not so sure of that. Will they all want to admit they accidentally followed a weak pissant for 4 years or will they double down on their support?

Admittance isn't required. They'll simply forget about him as they latch on to their next figurehead.

interesting. The issue I read is that poll-watchers were denied access, so they couldn't provide much evidence because they couldn't observe it. If it's really this small of a number, it wouldn't really matter in the end. I'm just hyped from all the conspiracy theories the MAGA boys are shilling for, I'm mostly here for entertainment value.

More over, they'll paint themselves like the good guys trying to lead Trump.

"We here at Fox News always knew we had the President's ear, even though his many missteps that eventually lead him to not being elected by the American People. We offered policies, issues, and demographics key to tempering a malcontent President... but alas, we could do so much. Trump lost, but we only hope the new Republican Candidate can learn from the failed Presidency and heed us closer, as no one knows what you as Americans want more than we do."

As custom, once a state gets past 99% voting, and there's more than a .5% lead over the opponent, that State is called for the candidate that has more than .5%.

Like my example with Gore/Bush in 2000, the state was actually won by Gore by like 500 votes, but by that time the state was called for Bush (by Bush's own brother) and Gore conceded.

We don't have to worry about Trump Conceding.

Both Georgia Senate seats will be heading to runoff elections in January! They will together decide who controls the body for the next 2 years.

Dems will need to win both to have a 50-50 (plus Harris tiebreaker) majority.
Reps will only need to win one to have a straight-up majority.

Rep did lose some seats so the dems just need to convince one or two to vote on a law to get it past. Also a 50-50 Congress would be interesting

Dude did you read this or did you just read it said it debunked his claims? The whole article is an exercise in obfuscating information

edit: I'm just watching people in the press conference talk about this. I guess they're all liars

I ain't celebrating until those electoral votes are cast. Until then Trump still has an avenue to win if he doesn't care about Democracy and his supporters think this election has been stolen. And thank God that's not the reality we live in.

I'm very pleased that Biden has won, not only because it will greatly benefit people in the United States but because it will prevent our own government in the UK from easily obtaining a trade deal with the US if they decide to break the Good Friday Agreement in their pursuit of a hard exit from the European Union.
