2020 Election Thoughts

Just read something on Twitter about how different states handle mail-in votes vs day-of votes.  If every state had counted mail-in and early votes first, things would look very different.  The results would be the same, but if Biden ends up winning PA, GA, AZ, and NV in addition to WI and MI, the race could have been called as early as late Tuesday or early Wednesday.  As it is, Biden's performance was looking underwhelming.  Everything is counted right away, his performance looks pretty good if he takes three of PA, GA, AZ, and NV.

If GOP legislatures had allowed changes to proceedures to allow for the counting of early voting (both in person and mail) before the election, and/or as it happened, this would have been over before the late night talk shows on Tuesday.

That is just scary.  Chillingly realistic and scary.

Some speculation is he's going to announce a plan to remove the names of anyone who took up arms against the US from all military bases. (Some folks call them heroes, some call them traitors) Then resign.

Of votes counted today in PA, Biden has received 78% of them.

To combine a few thoughts.  With 326k left to count in PA, if Biden won 70% of those, he would total 228k, leaving 98k for Trump.  That would leave Biden a 40k vote win in PA.

That doesn’t include provisionals either which will be majority dem votes.

 Fitting how tightly WI and PA are...compared to 2016.   That was 77-78,000 over three states.  MI is the only one with any significant margin at all.

If Trump didn’t loathe traveling to the West Coast so much (wanted to be back in the WH comfortably each time he traveled out for rallies) instead of dealing with late night/red eye flights, he could have picked off one or both of AZ and NV.

 

If we did know that Biden won early Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, we wouldn’t all be forced to recognize or realize how truly ugly the Trump administration and media supporters could get.

Not happy with Supreme Court, Senate and actually winning back some House seats, they would even seemingly prefer a Civil War to a peaceful transition of power.

If Esper resigns, I guess he will start doing wilder things like firing Fauci and Barr...trying to find an acting Attorney General to go over Clinton, Obama or the Biden family.

As President Trump’s lead over Joe Biden continued to fall Thursday, Fox News host Mark Levin suggested that if Trump ends up losing in key battleground states, Republican-led legislatures there should overturn the will of the voters and chose a slate of electors that would keep him in the White House.

 
The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., quickly retweeted Levin, as did Republican national spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington, both of whom have been quick to claim that Democrats are trying to “steal” the election by actually counting all of the votes.

Levin’s all caps entreaty to Republican state lawmakers seemed to typify a growing frustration among Trump’s most ardent supporters, including the president himself, who also hit the caps lock key earlier in the day to demand state officials do something that would not have won him the election.

His son meanwhile called out the “total lack of action from virtually all of the ‘2024 hopefuls’” in defending the president. Then Trump Jr. made an even more brazen suggestion, calling for “total war over this election.”

I believe John McCain isn't a hero talk cost him dearly there.
