Dammit, I missed Rudy on a live mic.

Georgia is now 50/50 on the betting market.
|
Offshore betting markets now have Biden's chances > 86%.
Also seeing Pennsylvania ~73% and Georgia ~45% for Biden. |
Dear 6lb-8oz Baby Jesus, I thank thee for the small things in life---like the fact that this happened somewhere other than the South.

I so want to be excited, but I can't. Without winning the Senate, it is a very hollow victory. When the ACA gets overturned by the Supreme Court, I am going to lose my health insurance with no way to replace it. McConnell is never going to allow a replacement through the Senate. I am screwed.

What happens if Biden only gets to 270 and Trump bribes one elector to switch?

I was wondering this also. But it sure seems like Pennsylvania is going to end up in the Biden column when the votes are finished. |

Haha nice @Arles

Jeez, I never realized Metcalf was eight feet tall.

Washington state set precident in 2016 and the SC backed them in saying states can force electors to vote with the will of the people. |

Pennsylvania is one of the states that does not force their electors to vote the way the state goes, fwiw. |
"Both the Biden and Trump campaign are expressing confidence in their odds"
Way to both-side this ****, CBS. (And yes, i know they then went more in depth after that but that is still just weird in a summary of events) |

PA under 300K

I hope this is wrong, but... They're going to do nothing for 2 years with a weak economy and lose perfectly winnable Senate races in 2022. Mitch is going to obstruct the crap out of everything: cabinet, judiciary, etc - since there's clearly no electoral penalty. The Supreme Court is going to start knocking down everything we think they will from ACA to abortion access. And, as a bonus, they're going to start dismantling the administrative state so Biden can't do much from the Executive Branch. This all sets up for a 2024 nightmare with a Cotton or Hawley or, Christ, Tucker Carlson or whoever who can sweep the election and be like a competent(-ish) Trump and put our Democracy out of its misery.

It's interesting that our ABC affiliate - owned by Sinclair - hasn't marked WI or MI for Biden. (But has for AZ.)

PA is now at 300,331 lead with 85% counted (according to NYT). Philadelphia County still at 70% counted.
edit: Now 292,412.. these are Allegany County votes, where Pittsburgh is. |

I agree with with everything you have wrote here. The equivalent on the other side would not make it past the third primary because we go high blah blah blah. |
I know he's easy to make fun of, but this is the President of the Fucking United States saying he doesnt care what the votes say and he's calling dibs. And an entire party is just saying, fuck yeah.
I honestly don't want to think how much more embarrassing this can get. |
Georgia margin down to 60k.

My guess is, they now know that they can completely shit the bed and their supporters are more than happy to take a nap in it with them. |
277k vote lead in PA. Still 85% of the vote counted.

Copying this from FB, just my thoughts on the process, not the results.
On another friend's FB page I suggested that if "I made the rules", I'd require all folks with federal decision making industry (Basically elective positions from president down to congressmen, as well as those with a significant decision making/procurement ability at the various national departments) are required to put their significant financial holdings in a blind trust during their service. More things I would do if I was supreme rules-maker for the US. 1) Universal Vote-By-Mail option. 2) Allow early counting of mail in ballots (not publicly but have it all plugged in and ready to go online the second polls start being counted. 3) Make voting a paid holiday. I think that this was the highest vote total ever, and the greatest percentage of possible votes in a century, and I think that while It fell short of the RESULT I wanted, that it was good that as many people as possible of all political striped got their say. I'm not calling for a REVOLUTION of voting method, just an evolution. Fix the holes (whether you consider them errors of omission or comission), and make it better for all Americans. "E Pluribus, Unum" (Out of many, one) Other things: I would like there to be an interstate national compact, so that every American can feel like their votes count (from the Trump supporter in the deepest blue state, to the Biden supporter in the reddest state), but realize that truly is States Rights. So that's something I'd like, but wouldn't mandate if "I made the rules". Same with Term Limits. I think there's a bunch of lobbyists who can be the real power brokers, and limiting Congressmen to two terms would just mean the Lobbyists would become MORE of a shadow government as they guide the "newbies" on "how things are done". So I support it in theory, but in practice? Not so much. Why do I support term limits for Presidents but not Congresscritters? Because there's 400+ Representatives, 100 Senators, but only one President. A fish rots from the head down. |

Wouldnt this be partly curtailed by at least some semblance of sanity re: campaign contributions/money in politics ? Many of your senate races have more money in TV ads alone than is spend im total for everything (not all advertising, but truly everything) in the entirety of the german national election by all 6 nationally operating parties. |
I think it would be a lot harder to get money out of politics, now that it's got its foot in the door, so to speak.
|
So go the other way.
Any party that got more than [X]% of the vote in the prior election gets federal funding. Make it big enough that the marginal value of campaign donations is reduced. |
But how do you regulate the "dark money" to things like SuperPACs etcetera. In some cases, they dwarf the official campaign spending,
