Think yet again, this just proves what a rediculous voting system the US has.
We have deadlines for sending postal votes in the UK (so they arrive on time and are counted). If they arrive after the Election Day / Counting day then they are discarded. You also have to prove who you are to be included on the Electoral roll
North Carolina have come out and stated they won't update their vote count until November 12th.

Problem is as well that states have their own decision making power on this.
Where are the Brexit voters saying about how this is undemocratic? 🤔🤐

I wonder how much social media exacerbates these views, do people get drawn into sites which back up their preconceptions which in turn 'confirms' them, they then become increasingly entrenched? The internet has totally changed how we receive media, endless avenues to follow, without any filters. I definitely think it amplifies everything, and like you said, will validate and entrench people further. It’s actually designed to pump through to you what you believe and like. |

According to Sky News
Trump campaign to make 'major announcement'
Donald Trump's campaign says it will make a "major announcement" later.
Former director of national intelligence Ric Grenell, former Nevada attorney general Adam Laxalt, chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp and Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald will host a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, at 8.30am PST (4.30pm UK time).
It is not known what will be said, but Mr Trump has made unsubstantiated claims of "major fraud" and says he'll go to the Supreme Court over the election.
His campaign has launched legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia and asked for a recount in Wisconsin.

Whether it's a load of b*llocks or not, but it's interesting how Trump was leading in pretty much all the key swing states, then counting stopped for a few hours and then suddenly hundreds of thousands of votes come in, all for Biden. |

The whole spectacle is very odd in my opinion. Still could go one way or another. |

We should revoke the Treaty of Paris, they clearly can't be trusted. 😇 |

Wasnt it odd for trump to admit in August that he was hampering the USPS in order to prevent mail ballots being received. Wonder why he was so open about it? |

This is a Trump win.
Georgia - 96% of votes counted, Donald Trump has a 0.4% lead
Thats not going to turn. Trump.
Pennsylvania - 89% of votes counted, Donald Trump has a 2.6% lead
Trump.
Arizona - 86% of votes counted, Joe Biden has a 2.4% lead
This is holding. Biden.
North Carolina - 95% of votes counted, Donald Trump has a 1.4% lead
This is not going to turn. Trump.
Nevada - 86% of votes counted, Joe Biden has a 0.6% lead
Trending in trumps direction with enough votes to switch it. Trump
It will all hinge on Nevada (where Trump is currently en route to presumably to announce victory).

Steeling yourself for disappointing news, me too. Although the actual numbers of votes still to count makes it still tight (see last post on the previous page). |

Taking one for the team by listening to the awful US news networks. They are pretty much still running with a biden win. Heinously close tho, how the f*ck does a nation get split almost exactly 50/50, seems odd. |
