Do we need an AP call, or something to get it done, or will we have to wait til after the lawsuits I wonder.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

The other being that if you are stupid enough to fuck the process up you probably don't deserve to vote anyway.

You would think a large percentage of those would be in person ballots. Wrong ID etc
Then there are the provisional ballots, votes cast by people who couldn’t initially be verified as eligible when they showed up to vote. We don’t know how many exist in the state, but these ballots are usually disproportionately in Philadelphia and tend to pad the Democratic lead by tens of thousands of votes.
This year, two factors complicate an easy analysis of the provisional ballots. Mr. Trump might be helped because the Election Day vote was more Republican this year. On the other hand, the provisional ballot count includes a new group this year: people who received an absentee ballot in the mail but showed up to vote in person and did not surrender their absentee ballot at the polling place. These voters had to vote provisionally to ensure their votes weren’t counted twice.
It’s hard to know how many votes fall into this category, but given the consternation about the reliability of mail voting — on both sides — it could be a lot. These ballots may not be as favorable for Democrats as the overall absentee ballot count, since Democrats had a higher mail ballot return rate than Republicans — perhaps reflecting the president’s criticism of the method. But Democrats still outnumbered Republicans, 52 percent to 34 percent, among the mail ballots that hadn’t been returned heading into the election.
So far, only a handful of very Republican counties have counted their provisional ballots, and the results were nearly identical to the non-provisional results. Mr. Trump would need to do much better in the provisional results to overcome Mr. Biden’s deficit.He now leads in Georgia and Pennsylvania, and it seems just a matter of time before the race in Pennsylvania is put out of reach.
There's also around 30k uncounted ballots from Pittsburgh that were delayed yesterday over some procedural issue the GOP raised that should break strongly for Biden.

Do it how the Aussies do, make it illegal not to vote, and give everyone sausages.

I saw a good quote recently, I wish I had saved it... it was about how engineers like Scott often make the mistake of thinking the rest of the world works along the lines of their comparatively simple field of expertise. It would also apply to Denny's belief that options traders should run countries.
A reference of Denny suggesting option traders should run countries would put me right in my place on this ?
Would this be the quote ?
“English unfortunately doesn’t have a precise word for the German “Fachidiot,” a narrowly specialized person accomplished in his own field but a blithering idiot outside it. In any case, a surgeon is basically a skilled auto mechanic who is not bothered by the sight of blood and palpitating organs. We need the surgeon’s skills on pain of agonizing death, and reward him commensurately but that does not make him a Voltaire.”
For me Denny won this forum 4 year ago.
Edit. Soz HJ, reading back it looks like I missed the context. I stand over he effort tough.Last edited by nicnicnic; 07-11-20, 02:04.

Binen bettors who didn't factor post vote shenanigans of 10/15% of the price taken when "lumping" on should consider themselves very lucky and never bet on politics again. The Germans have a term for such a cogitative deficiency :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnin...3Kruger_effect xx

Did ye all know about his 1972? This by the way, is not him coming from any type of well-to-do background - his father sold used cars after a few years of unemployment, zero politics in his family.

Looks like we don't get anything more meaningful out of AZ tonight but seems like Biden will cling on there anyway.
GA is inching towards having all votes done and Biden will likewise cling on, with a certain recount coming.
So it's down to PA really to get this thing done. Where are those infamous 30k Pittsburgh votes?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
