My favourite number he gave, which flies in the face of all of Trump's rhetoric is the number of non-citizens who tried to vote in Georgia: 13

I don't believe at all that their stated goal was their actual goal though, so I'm actually agreeing with that sentiment in the article and just nitpicking how much we can actually know if the ads had an impact on the election outcome.

It was obvious that independent-leaning, educated republican men and republican women were not the target audience of the ads anyways. Those ads were made to seize on the fervor of people who already hated Trump. They targeted a market that was emotionally worked up, fed them what they wanted and collected cash out of them for doing so.

Whether they had any impact on their stated target audience or not, the real goal was going after the market that would be happy to give them their money.

I looked at as they were trying to motivate Democrats to get out there, since apathy was a big part of the problem in 2016, and trying to grab those on the fence that chose Trump last time, just because he wasn't Hillary.

I'm about to join in with the people complaining about how long this is taking. I know what a painful process it is to count these ballots because I've seen how they do it, but the numbers that are coming in right now are just really disappointing. It's as if there was a real urgency to keep counting until Joe Biden took the lead in Georgia and Pennsylvania, and then they just kind of stopped.

There are about 10,000 ballots left to count in Georgia. There are, presumably, election workers working there today. Finish them. There have been fewer than 400 votes reported in the past 4 hours. This is absurd.

Same thing in PA - sure, there are 35,000 ballots in Allegheny that will sit there until 5pm for legal reasons. Fine. But that doesn't stop you from making the same rate of progress on the other 100,000+ ballots that are outstanding that you made yesterday. Yesterday they were doing about 10-20k per hour, which is slow, but it's progress. Right now they're going at about 10% of that speed. If there's a new and different hold up, I want to know what it is, because that's really not good enough.

We're in the age of believe what you want to believe.

They believe Trump is the most perfect human to have ever lived. Social media echo chambers brainwashed them and keep them ensnared in backwards beliefs.

Look at the antivaxx movement.

They're almost scared to count and then declare thinking what unrest that would cause. They're are delaying it, maybe people will go away?

It’s a shame that this election doesn’t spell the death of punditry and mainstream polling.

They're just waiting for that 35k lead in PA. Buffer at 13k currently.

NV and AZ don't mean #### all at this point. They can flip and it doesn't mean a thing. Pray/Voodoo all you want in Clark County.

Expending energy and prayers on Trump though feels like something your deities would smite you for.

Yeah it's almost 4pm EST on Friday, let's get going on some of these vote totals.

Glad they're being careful for the sake of accuracy and transparency, but this has slowed down to a crawl.

If Trump ends up going to jail, does he still get the Secret Service protection provided to former presidents?
