    My understanding is they want PA to stop counting until the question of non-postmarked ballots and new ballot arrivals is resolved. Arizona is not adding new ballots, just still counting those they already received.

    @LuFins-Dad Is that an issue that they've been dealing with? Non-postmarked ballots? How do they get to their destination without a postmark?

        Right - so someone drives by and picks up the ballots after 8PM. What's the allegation here?

          Wisconsin Math by Kimberly Strassel:

          1. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is claiming a 71% state turnout. I'm not sure where it gets this, but that would make more sense, given even populous Milwaukee didn't exceed 83% turnout, and Dane lower. (Do math on what rest of state wud need to bump up state avg to 89)

          2. True, Wisconsin has same day voter registration. But to be at 71%, WI would have yesterday needed 900k same-day registrations. ( If I'm doing my math wrong--please tell me. 3,288,771 divided by 4,588,771 equals 71% . 4,588,771 minus 3,684,726 =900k)

          3. Is that possible/conceivable? That would be akin to increasing WI's registered voting population by up to 30%--in one day. It would also suggest that if those same-day registrations hadn't happened, WI would have had a ridiculously LOW turnout.

          4. I suppose it is possible WI's turnout was higher than 71% (again, not sure where MJS gets that). But that would be wild, given the state's own history and what we saw elsewhere yesterday. An even an 80% turnout would still require HUGE same-day registration.

          5. Surely a record/tally of those same-day registrations must exist. It would therefore seem a straightforward proposition to set the numbers/record straight?
            Again, explain if I'm missing something.

              They are building up to the prime time reveal.

              The max audience should be around 8:30 EST.

              I assume they'll take away Arizona before they give him Nevada.

                    (too lazy to look)

                    If Trump wins PA and AZ, while losing MI, WI what happens?

                    (assuming he holds GA and NC)

                          Dude, they don't have the Senate. Their agenda will be significantly slowed down. And look how close the states have been. I think it really matters how many Trump voters there have been, especially in the midst of the greatest media influence campaign in American history.

                          Biden may be president, but charges will still be brought up against "nazi"-punchers.

                            I know all that. But it's time the Left got what they've been wanting for so long.

                            This nation no longer deserves to survive.

                              Give it a rest. There is no mandate to pursue that agenda - far from it. If they try they will get slaughtered in 2022.

                                This was pretty much a slaughter as it is. Blue were supposed to pick up 15 seats in the House and 4 in the Senate. They picked up a net of 1 in the Senate and are losing seats in the House. There's talk of Pelosi not being Speaker. Biden is squeeking by - and I disagree that Trump will be a non-entity as a review of his career suggests, he never gives up. It is not part of his nature.

                                  The problem with Shapiro’s PA information is it doesn’t indicate Trump has a chance, it indicates Trump has a lock. Seems like if that were true some of the news organizations would have figured it out already.

                                        @Mik said in Calling the States:

                                        For most people the presidency is the pinnacle of their career. He will not see it that way at all.

                                        When Rush dies (probably within the next year) he'll pick up the mantle.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          I don’t think he can. He’s just not as verbally skilled or extemporaneous. Limbaugh is essentially thinking out loud a lot of the time. Trump is not as skilled at that.
