    I forget which entity's calling of the winner makes it official.

    From VOANews: "Many people assume the winner of the U.S. presidential contest is determined once the media calls the race and the losing candidate delivers a concession speech. But the truth is that formally declaring a presidential winner is a months-long process that won’t be completed until January.

    "That process essentially involves Americans voting for electors, the electors voting for the president, and then Congress declaring the winner.

    "There's Election Day, where those electors are elected; there's the date in December where the electors meet and then vote for president; and then there's the date in January where the Congress certifies that election.”

    Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

      I do think everybody here knows that.

      But for all practical purposes....

          You mean gerrymandering post census?

          Or do you think they'll try to select rival electors?

            I think in terms of actual shenanigans it's far less likely given that Biden's victory is overdetermined.

              I guessed 330. Damn.

              So you missed Florida. Like many professional pollsters. No need to beat yourself up over it.

              Got Florida right. Missed a few others.

              And I actually wrote 329 as Jon mentioned in the other thread.

                Biden won a couple of days ago. Let’s start talking about his promises and what his first year looks like.

                The last two days are fake drama. Let’s look forward.

                  Sorry buddy, you don't get to turn the page on our gloating that easily.

                  We get at least until Trump concedes. Then we'll return to our normal levels of obnoxiousness.

                    You are gloating? Pyrrhic victory at best. Many people believe this is the ideal but formerly impossible outcome.

                    But you are right, gloat while you can.

                              Have to admit, I woke up this morning and the race is closer than I expected! Still don’t see Trump winning though. Odds don’t look good to get to 270 and there’s going to be a trickle in of mail in votes that will favor Biden overall.

                                If the recounts gave this election to Mr. Trump

                                And I don't think they will

                                Would that be as sweet as the victory over the evil Ms. Clinton?

                                Wow, tough question.

                                The delay and the apparent Biden victory would make it extra nice.

                                I guess it would be pretty sweet, but not as sweet as the victory over Ms. Clinton.

                                    See the other thread. 0.057%. I’ll track Trumps as the votes come in. I think it’ll be close.

                                        Wisconsin was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Frankly, I thought Michigan would led be closer between the two. It’s closer to blue collar PA and Ohio, which was Trump country.

                                          I have a question for the Trump bashers:

                                          Do you honestly believe people voted for Biden in the numbers being claimed? You actually believe that Georgia voted for Biden? PA??? You honestly believe Michigan voted for Biden???

                                          Jesus....., HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA||||
