Of note is that CNN has had massive viewership since Tuesday, as well as around the world, and they carried it all.

Is this what cricket is like all the time? No thanks.

Will there be cheering when the court flips it back? There was an analyst on Bloomberg saying the counties were ordered by the courts to segregate the ballots received after election day and some of those counties refused or were unable to do so. That would be how Trump wins Pennsylvania, get large amounts of ballots voided on a technicality.

I guess they'll handle it the same way the USPS did by refusing the judges order to search for mail in ballots.

Ballots tied up in an overly slow USPS system could result in small numbers of ballots that would ordinarily have been tallied, being disqualified.



Small numbers, but in Georgia, the 853 missing ballots could end up being a big deal.



Thank goodness it doesn't look like this is going to come down to Georgia. All hell might break loose.

Very few of such ballots exist and they are being separated as per the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.

If some smaller counties have indeed failed to do that, then those are Trump votes anyways. Not sure he wants to throw them out.

There apparently aren't a large number of these ballots. According to the PA Secretary of State earlier today, the most in any given county was about 500, and some counties had none.

Also not even clear if those ballots are included in the reported vote tally.

Maybe I'm naïve but I don't think that's going to happen. For starters I think the margin in Penn is going to be big and put it well beyond dispute. And also, the courts intervening in Bush v Gore was a totally different scenario.

I think once all the major networks declare for Biden and people start to accept it don't think that the cat is going back in the bag. I think even a lot of Trump supporters are stepping away from him now and don't believe the republican institution, long term, has an interest in trying to invalidate a bunch of legal votes.

Unless there is a strong argument for actual fraud, which doesn't seem to be the case. They are arguing technicalities and a lot of their own party and media like Fox News are starting to distance themselves from it. The only arguments I've heard them make are that watchers haven't been allowed in enough and they don't like the idea of votes that were postmarked on date of election but received later being counted, which is a small portion of the total.

Eh? It takes a bit for it to embed. Should be there. Plus, I have found if I'm viewing the forum on my phone, and click on any twitter link, it says not found, so maybe that's it?

Anyway, here -

I’m loving the test cricket talk. This will be CP once Biden comes back.
