CodysGameRoom | 2,008 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Nebraska usually goes red but District 2 (my district) went blue, and we are one of two states who split the electoral votes, so we gave Biden one. So really, if he gets the 6 from Nevada, then our one electoral vote counted enough to give him the win. So I'm gonna take credit for that since I live here. You're welcome, everyone. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attakid101 | 267 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I voted for Joe Biden and I live in Idaho soooo....I’m outnumbered. Of course I hope my candidate wins but no matter what happens, no matter who wins, America is pretty fucking great. Only thing I hate about Trump’s presidency is that it has shone a harsh light on some of the uglier parts of our country. And I’m not talking about the liberal media slant. I mean in real life. I don’t know, it just felt like the bigots, sexists, racists, etc felt emboldened. I got called the n-word in a public street and nobody said a word in my defense. A black friend of mine was asked to leave a store because she opened a bottle of lotion to check the scent. I saw looks of actual disgust when I walked into a restaurant with my white wife and mixed children. My brother was slapped in the face by a white girl and called the n-word—again nobody but him seemed bothered by it. A guy covered Nazi tattoos took a picnic table from an entire Latino family at a lake I was visiting. I promise you this stuff didn’t happen before Trump. I’ve lived here my whole life. All that being said, I know that most of Trumps supporters are good, caring, patriotic Americans. Like I said I live in Idaho so most of the people I know voted for him. And they love this country as much as I do. But I can’t shake the feeling that his presidency brought out the worst in some people. Anyway, I’m a little inebriated so I’ll stop before I get all cheesy. Just remember, whoever wins, we’re all Americans...except Canadians or whatever. 5 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 If you need any help figuring out who would be the better leader, well consider this: Joseph Robinette Biden. Girl’s name. Girls can’t be president, we learned this last time. Donald Jenius Trump. Nuff said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make a long story short, basically all of the votes left/being counted now are mail in ballots. These mail in ballots skew heavily for Joe Biden. That is why it seems likely, although not 100% definitive, that Joe will win. We should know by tonight is my guess.

They allow military ballots to be received up until the 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divide that by 50 states for an average of around 20,000 military personnel per state. Of those, how many are actually deployed during elections? Maybe half? Probably not a large enough number of votes to move the scale one way or another 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashville and Memphis are totally different worlds from the rest of Tennessee. I remember going to get my Master’s degree from UT in Knoxville and when I got there I was warned to be careful with what I say and to who because it’s a whole other political culture from Nashville to Knoxville. Phew, was he right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check almost any state, even Texas or Florida, and there's a very high concentration of blue in and around the cities. As you move further away from the cities people seem to vote red more often. It's scary how predictable it is. People in cities rely heavily on government services, and mingle daily with people of different religions, backgrounds, and sexual persuasions. People in the country mostly want to be left alone and to shoot things, while mostly knowing other White Christian types. I don't mean for any of that to be a put down either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette | 1,543 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 According to AP, there are 60000 outstanding votes in GA to count and Trump has a 9500 vote lead. Given they are exclusively preliminary and mail in votes, hitting a 59% margin is very realistic for Biden. Might not even need to wait for Nevada to stop dragging it's feet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
