So you reckon she'd abstain?

Seemed weird to me at the time that they'd said they were happy to revisit if after election day, with her still to come.

the 3 did. The 5 (including Roberts and kavanaugh) said feck off.
 
Im still not convinced on Nevada, that one is far too close and the votes to be counted appear to favour the republicans in terms of expected direction

You are spot on.

Trump's win in 2016 and the fact that he's getting so much support now despite all his personal shitstorms and drama is a result of his achievements and an evidence of how horrible the dems are. Eight years and the best they could come up with is an ex presidents wife and another ex presidents sleepy grandpa. Biden is on course only because of 'Anyone but Trump' voters. It might as well be Kanye instead of Biden, the result will be the same. No one is actually voting for Biden, they just vote against Trump. If Trump could only shut his mouth and Twitter and let Pence do the talking it would've been an easy win, but unfortunately his divisive personality overshadows every good thing he does.

By the way you won't get any real input here because this thread is basically an echo chamber like CNN, only here the majority are not even Americans. I would suggest you get your news from objective and unbiased sources.

This isn't true.
 
U.S. Postal Service officials ordered to appear in court after failing to comply with federal judge’s ballot-sweep order

Representatives of the U.S. Postal Service were called before a federal judge on Wednesday after the agency’s failure to comply with a court-ordered sweep of facilities to locate some 300,000 ballots that had reportedly entered the postal system and not been scanned for delivery to election authorities.

Critics argued that changes made to Postal Service operations by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, an ally of and campaign donor to President Donald Trump who took up the post earlier this year, had slowed the mail with the possibly intended result of suppressing votes, particularly in Electoral College swing states.

USPS-reported data showed on-time-delivery percentages for Tuesday, Election Day, in the low 60s in central Pennsylvania, the mid-60s in Philadelphia, and under 80 in Detroit and portions of Wisconsin and North Carolina.



Below is a rundown of the state of play.

What happened: The Postal Service said on Tuesday that it would not abide by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s order to sweep processing centers for undelivered mail-in ballots, arguing that doing so would be disruptive to its Election Day operations and that it had “physical and operational limitations.”

Why it matters: Disputes about mail ballots, particularly those received after Election Day, could be the fuel for court fights over election results in some states.

Background: Judge Sullivan’s order came after weeks of bruising court decisions for an agency that has become heavily politicized under its new leader, DeJoy. DeJoy, a logistics-company chief executive and major GOP donor, made a series of controversial policy changes after being installed as postmaster general this summer that delayed mail nationwide, fueling worry about the service’s ability to handle the unprecedented crush of mail-in ballots.

At the same time, President Donald Trump has baselessly attacked mail voting as fraudulent throughout his campaign.

Much of Sullivan’s order hinged on postal data showing roughly 300,000 mail-in ballots in several states had not received scans showing they had been delivered.

The agency has disputed the accuracy of the figure, saying it has pushed to ensure same-day local delivery of ballots by circumventing certain processing steps entirely, leaving them without the final delivery scan.

What’s next: Sullivan had given the agency until Tuesday afternoon to search 27 facilities in several battleground areas for outstanding ballots and send out those votes immediately.



The Postal Service said it had already conducted rounds of morning checks at all its processing hubs. Further, the agency said has been performing daily reviews of all 220 facilities handling election mail and planned another sweep hours before polling places closed Tuesday.

The judge accepted the agency’s response but set a Wednesday hearing “to discuss the apparent lack of compliance with the court’s order.”

Why the feck are the police not there to clear these people away (because if they get in it's clear they'll start to destroy the ballots).

Answer: because the most of the police support Trump rather than than actual law and order.

Just look at the locations & how they lean politically. No shock there.
 
I still can't believe that the two people running for Presidency are in their mid 70s. I work with a 65 year old and I fear he may keel over everyday.
 
As much as @Pughnichi 's post was ill informed and laughable, the notion that Trump wins without COVID is pretty much borne out by how close everything is right now.

If the economy were still pre-COVID and people weren't dying everyday then I have no doubt Amercans would've elected hm again, much as we hate he cnut.

What are those sources? Do tell? :))

I tend to get my news from Trump himself, doesn't take long for him to contradict himself. Average once or twice per sentence..

It genuinely scares me. Somebody is gonna blow up or set a place alight overnight to destroy ballots. And trump is going to incite them more.
