Like I said it would be nice but this thing is done...PA won't be close. Look at the outstanding vote, Biden is gonna win by 100k or more.

Perdue in Georgia now at 49.9997%. Looks like there will be two runoffs.

Both likely favor the Republican but will that ever be a hotly contested election. Can only imagine how much money the Dems will throw at it with everything at stake.

So I was about to edit this and fix it but then decided to leave it alone. That may be my most unintentionally funny typo ever.

The one thing that might favor the Democrats in a runoff is that Trump isn't on the ballot. His cult only seems to show up in huge numbers for him specifically, otherwise they stay home (like in 2018)

Here’s the issue. Y’all so quick to claim a conspiracy theory or someone else’s lack of critical thought, failing to actually address what was presented.

So please, before accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist with no critical thoughts, consider the original premise? Does no one else have an issue with seemingly uncontrolled bags entering a secured area?
Did I miss where you provided any evidence that good numbers of people were carrying large amounts of largely full bags into recklessly unsecured vote counting areas? All I saw you provide was one grainy video of a tv crew taking a camera in a wagon into a building.

50000 ballots still outstanding in Georgia.

That is enough for Biden to take the lead.

If only they'd saved all that money from South Carolina to dump into the race.

I was thinking about this, but on the other hand, Trump's entire future hangs on not having a senate that's loyal to his legacy and will do what it can to block inquiries and prosecutions. I could see a defeated Trump basically having daily rallies in Georgia to try to get these two Trump loyalists elected. Of course, that could also backfire, further whipping up Democratic sentiment and making a lot of fence-sitting voters decide that they need to vote to make him go away, but after this election I'm not sure that last sentiment is very strong.

CNN just said 50k ballots remaining in GA and the Trump lead is currently ~15k? Is that not almost surely a Biden overtake?

Amazing, plenty quick to jump on the area I didn’t raise as an issue while entirely ignoring the part in question.
People called you ignorant and questioned your critical thinking because nobody would come to the conclusion you came to, or consider their premise worth discussing, if they had watched the video with critical thinking.

It's a video of camera equipment being dropped off and a bunch of people carrying their own personal bags in. That's it. There's zero evidence that they contain ballots, there's zero evidence that there's a security issue, there's zero evidence of anything that anyone with basic critical thinking skills would take issue with.

Nobody addressed your concern because it wasn't valid, it was entirely based on Crowder and some lady telling you what to believe about what you watched. You didn't think for yourself, you let two talking heads think for you, and now you're upset because nobody else did the same.

You don't want to be accused of being a conspiracy theorist? Then use some critical thinking when you're watching a video, and stop believing everything you watch and read when your own eyes should tell you different.

It's 13k. So after Fulton is done, the lead will be about 10k, probably.

But they are only talking about Fulton, so I'm wondering what the hell is going on elsewhere in the state? Where are the other 40k+ ballots?

I agree with this, and if Biden wins Georgia the Dem base there will be energized by flipping what seemed like an impossible state.

I'm sure Bloomberg made enough money in the market over the last few days to cover his losses.

I think that helps them. Mitt Romney got a better share of the popular vote in Georgia than Trump for crying out loud. IMO Trump's popularity is overstated.

Now turnout is a real issue for sure, and some of Trump's supporters are fervent, but Senate elections in Georgia haven't been particularly close before this year either.

It will be a centre of attention for sure.

Gotta be tricky for these MSM outlets who want everyone to think the race is as close as possible for as long as possible but not be the last ones to call it. Tangled web of their own bull####.

Lol at all the liberals who bought into and donated to the Lincoln Party's grift. Congrats, you've re-armed and re-legitimized the war-mongering neocons of the Bush years.

Thanks for really, blatantly, proving my point.

If you had watched past the point of the wagon (addresses), you would see obvious video of the circumstance I question. Including people, carrying bags, walking one by one through doors which lead directly to the secured ballot area.

What exactly about questioning this as a practise is a conspiracy theory?

Also, Minnie, it’s the final lyrics of the opening track on one of the best thrash albums ever, about an imaginary character in an imaginary world which I found to be rather allegorical for the increased state of social media, digital integration and the lack of ability to engage meaningfully in this Twitter verse.

If that makes me a conspiracy theorist, I don’t know what to tell you.
