Firstly, I thought you said you didn’t care.

As for the rest of your post below are my thoughts.

Postal votes typically favour blue merkins. Historically so this year given most of their collective Pou Pou valves are flickering re: COVID.

I’ve read about a lot of the other other issues you raise but haven’t had a chance to review whether the evidence supports it. I’ll get a chance on the weekend to do a bit more research.

The Tuesday voting day thing is stupid. Agree entirely on that.
I don’t care but I do care when they assume the general public are stupid. For example there are 5 people from Arizona and yes it’s only 5 but they voted and were born in 1900. Just saw it on Paul Murray Live.

Address my statement first. How the f**k can they turn it around that much? What Republicans voters don’t like the post? Give me a f**king break. There are reports already of people paying young Democrat dopes to vote in for them in Minnesota. None of the postal votes are vetted for accuracy, they are just sent to the last known address. The merkin could have died years ago and someone can vote on their behalf. The system is shit. FFS they vote on a Tuesday !!
f**kin oath! ... wednesday would be much better :wink: ..... give voting is optional, i can only assume the shitty attitude extends to not wanting to give up a weekend day for it

Someone sent me some stuff today which i think is saying there are votes in the name of dead people .... i havent watched any of it yet, no idea what to think of it

I dunno what to think about the masses of biden postals ... but can accept it might be true cos they are the covid cases obsessed side of things

I take anything Paul Murray says with a grain of salt. I agree with plenty he offers but there are times where I feel he loses his head and toes the party line despite evidence and logic.

That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if there was foul play. It’s arguably been part of every US election.

Wasn’t Trump pushing out the whole “postal voting is rigged” agenda throughout his entire campaign?

Surely that helps explain why there’d be significantly fewer Republican postal votes...or at least to some degree.

Because the Republicans still hold the senate they will have a puppet leader that will get nothing done. Just saw that the Democrats wanted to make more college seats within other states where they hold a significant majority to try and hold onto power. Change the law where you need 300 instead of 270 but only in states where they always win. The Democrats are evil merkins.

And another thing it’s time the Americans have a central independent electoral commission not rogue states running their own show. It’s shambolic. More important than making the rednecks hand in their guns .

First para is gibber. Second one could be the smartest thing that anyone has said on here during the election.

I think it’s hilarious that the guy who every day of his live cheats and lies his way to ensure that shit is to his advantage, is carrying on like a whiney bitch because the cards are not falling in his favour.

Even more hillarious are merkins from Australia, who have seen marginal seats flip and flop and go down to the wire as postals are counted, believe the tripe from Giuliani et al.

If the postal votes being so heavily in favour of Biden was a known thing then why was every expert under the sun calling it for Trump on the first night? Even the bookies had him at $1.17 or so. It's the scale of it that is difficult to believe.

Sportsbet have paid out on Biden so if Trump ends up winning it, does it mean it was rigged towards the Republicans?

Sometimes shit just doesn’t go the way everyone expects (take Trump’s first election result for example).

However, I remember reading about the ‘Red Mirage’ and the likelihood of the Democrats having a strong postal vote (the Blue Shift) prior to the election. Biden himself seemed confident on election night.

Yes I wonder why Trump was saying 4 weeks ago that the postal vote system is rigged. That drive in voting went to court ( he lost) and why he rushed in the new Supreme Court woman in - he even said that he’ll take the postals to court.

Meanwhile he voted absentee last election, but apparently that’s different.
