In the first, they can't even grant Collins, Romney, or Murkowski their token "moderate" votes. Wasn't there a 51-49 senate for Trump's first 2 years in office? didn't seem to change much | ||

That cushion would be gone with a dem VP: read it more as a 51-50 senate instead of 51-49. | ||

That would make my day, but I guess they'll never have the balls. Its not about having the balls to ban trump. He is a major factor in user engagement on the platform. | ||

Well, kinda, but if she's at 49.9%, I sincerely doubt that runoff voting will flip that, so the result will be the same as if they had done straight up plurality winner takes all. It's most likely going to take a different example, where peoples' second choice actually results in someone other than the plurality winner taking the election. | ||

I don't think she'll hold at 49.9, she's been steadily slipping. I think she'll end up closer to 49. The ultimate result after using the ranked choices will probably still be a victory for her, but the margin will be a better benchmark. | ||

He is going to need a lot more than just those 3 for it to be anywhere near a safe bet that he is actually sworn in as president in January. | ||

Preferably both | ||

Isn't that pretty much the consensus on recounts? Even recounting hanging chads didn't make a huge difference in Florida and that was way more confusing than any voting method used since. Anybody hanging their hopes on a recount if there is >2k difference in votes is going to end up disillusioned, the counting methods used have improved quite a bit. The main problem is if one court or another decides a whole group of votes should be thrown out (e.g. that Texas case for disallowing drive-through voting). | ||
