Pretty obvious now that Trump isn't going to concede if the remaining postal votes (of which there are millions still to count) start swinging things in Biden's favour. Biden is still well ahead in the popular vote for what it's worth and there are 71 EC votes left to declare.
There is a higher voter turnout in 2020, but that meant more people voted for Trump this time than they did in 2016. The US is in serious trouble.Last edited by MartyG; 04-11-2020, 09:06.

Except that boxers own corner is 2/3rds of the judging panel that decides the result.
If somehow Trump is able to get them excluded, he will have subverted the election and the US will no longer be able to describe itself as a democratic nation.

The Republicans really have to start deciding how important Trump versus the long term is to them. To break the election system so heavily is to break the constitution and once that happens an awful lot of the things they like become a free for all. They're also creating the precedent for the future for the Democrats to also create a scenario where they force holding office in a loss. On top of that there's the danger for the Republican Party to fully become the Trump Party and if you're a career politician with your own future senior office ambitions he's destroying those hopes.

Raab did weakly duck out of addressing the wrongfulness of Trumps victory claim though. Utter wusses.
Not confirmed as yet but it's doing the rounds that Trump has lost Wisconsin which tightens the screws yet more if true, if I'm right in my understanding it would mean that Trump has to win Pennsylvania and three of the other remaining four states to win the election.Last edited by Neon Ignition; 04-11-2020, 12:08.
