If this ^^ were to happen, then what? Not that I think it will, but I’m curious. (And maybe still scarred from the hanging chads in Florida back in whatever year that was.)

It becomes a fucking mess.

I like the ABC map for the greys, but it doesn’t have the electoral college votes on it that I can find. And we all know that matters. My brain is mush at this point, so I can’t keep the numbers in my head. Except I remember that PA has 20. It seems like it’s all going to come down to Pennsylvania. Maybe.

The last map I saw on msn gave Biden Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan, giving him 270. I like that map.
Also… at what margin would the losing party ask for a recount? A few states are currently at less than 1% difference

I believe it depends on the state. (And 1% may be the thresh hold for quite a few.)

Can someone please explain how the USPS ignoring the federal order to locate and deliver any ballots they had in their possession not constitute election interference/fraud??

All I’ve got is that the postmaster general dude is a Trump crony.

Sounds like a recount is going to happen in Wisconsin already.

There’s a .7% difference on the map I’m looking at so I’m not surprised. MI currently has .5% and Nevada .6%. I assume recounts in all if Trump loses. Ugh

There are a lot of states where it is really, really close. I guess Trump will be demanding a recount in Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, at least!

Well, depends who the losing party is.
One of them will probably take it to court no matter what.

There is no one to enforce the laws. The whole effing government is complicit right now.
In the past the system has relied on people doing what judges say, and the AG enforcing it when they don’t.

The AP called Wisconsin for Biden.

OOF, the ward that I grew up in went Trump and that makes me feel so ill even though Chicago was otherwise all Biden and he took IL, obvs.

The margin is so slight though I’m still holding my breath.

Interesting little bobble, that probably doesn’t mean anything, but CNN & ABC are both reporting 81% votes counted in PA, and Fox is reporting 64%.
Same thing with NV, CNN & ABC are reporting much higher percentages counted than Fox.
Just goes to show know one really knows how many mail in votes were cast, anywhere.

The estimated ballot counts have moved all over the place seems like
But judges are not jailers. If no one enforces the judges ruling, it means nothing.

Possibly useful - State rules on election recounts, from the National Conference of State Legislators. There are, of course, 50 different threshold triggers (well, binned into a few types, but still…)
