Yup. Gotta keep the grift going to pay for his personal legal troubles after he's out of office Electoral College Legal Case™ going.

There is no stopping the Trump grift train. Stop one grift, your inbox has a dozen more solicitations to "FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT" and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN." If he's a master of anything, it's Unlimited Grift Works.

Florida screwed up massively in 2000, but through the work of the governor there and county officials, became marvelously good at counting votes quickly and informing the state and country of the results of the election.

Georgia has completed multiple counts and recounts across it's counties.

New York State ... NY ... has not finished counting its votes the first time.


The entire government shows election incompetence at a massive level. One anecdote is 10 hours of productive vote counting resulting in the processing of 200 ballots.

But the state has little pressure to reform, since it's not a swing state in national elections.

You're not wrong... to be only at 84% counted more than two weeks after the election takes some serious incompetence on NY's part. That's just absurdly bad.

Imagine if the election hinged on NY, and we were still waiting on 16% of the votes now.

Argument #27590 for removing winner-take-all from the electoral college. It's especially terrible for a lot of smaller races.

That is actually impressively bad. Do they have any excuse for taking this long?

Trumpers are turning on the GOP as they've started to abandon the cult leader now that he is no longer useful.

I have enjoyed watching this start to happen, Trump's firing of Powell seems like one of the big triggers.

luckily biden is actually crossed 270 even without New York, but imagine if Trump were to make a big fuss that technically Biden hadn't won yet since NY hadn't certified its votes.

PA has also certified the vote. In BW terms, Trump was floating a burning commander center with 50 minerals to build one scv while his opponent was on 5 bases two weeks ago. Now he's somehow lost 15 minerals and literally can't win without hacking.



Meanwhile, in "really, both sides aren't close to the same right now" news, the latest CNBC poll found that only 3% of Trump voters believe Biden won legitimately.... in a poll where the margin of error was 2.83%.

As the president makes unsubstantiated claims about electoral malfeasance and sows doubts about vote tallies, only 3% of Trump voters surveyed said they accept Biden’s victory as legitimate, the survey released Monday found. A staggering 73% of respondents consider Trump the legitimate winner. Another 24% said they are not sure.
[...]
A mere 3% of Trump voters believe he should concede to Biden and start the peaceful transfer of power. Another 31% want the president to fight in court until states certify results. Two-thirds, or 66%, think Trump should never concede.
[...]
The vast majority of Trump voters — 81% — said they would not give Biden a chance as president. Only 19% said they would.
[...]
Loyalty to Trump runs deep among the respondents. Asked with whom they would identify if the president left the GOP, 72% responded Trump’s party, while 28% answered the Republican Party.

Trump built a fucking scarab at 50 minerals and now can't make a probe. And he accidentally used that one scarab on his own nexus.

Great analogy. Sidney Powell is definitely the scarab.

So the fight to hold onto the Trump supporters begins for Republicans. They are going to boycott the Georgia specials because they are not supporting Trump with his coup. Loffer looks to be behind Warnock already and Prudue just barely edged out Ossloff. 2018 was pretty good without Trump on the ticket so I would think things are looking up. God it would be so nice to punish Republicans by getting 50. And we can throw there same excuse back at them. Just change it from "Dem would of done it if they had chance" to "Republicans did do it when they had chance".
