I just noticed something that seemed off (I'm very observant, I know)...what, exactly, do the admins and owner of this form know that we don't? I give you exhibit A:

Election CT.webp

So the elections aren't decided yet. Eh? EH?!??!?! Does anyone deny what they see before their eyes? 🤔 :LOL:
 
Fishing:

Know? Probably nothing more than most of us. Suspect? That there will be a lot of legal wrangling and back and forth until the election results are certified in all fifty states. When certified then that's when the final voting results are closed as an issue. Then comes the possibility of rogue (faithless) electors mucking up the Electoral College vote. So there is wisdom in not closing these sub-forums until the whole electoral process is finished and the results are final.

Cheers, be well and be one.

Haha...I know. I just have to poke fun and wanted to make something of DP not officially calling the elections yet (kinda) :ROFLMAO:
 
It's 306 to 232. That you guys are so desperate and emotional you think you're going to overturn a massive landslide victory is totally pathetic. Your tears energize us, please keep it up.

What's really hilarious is that you though this wasn't a joke post. That's the best part.
 
It's probably a conspiracy. Red and Vague are most likely working on behalf of Putin to throw the whole nation into chaos and undermine the confidence of the American people in the electoral process.

Well, either that or, perhaps, they're just waiting until the House certifies the results like it says in the Constitution. We haven't ceded our Constitutionally protected rights to CNN....yet.

Oh you're mistaken. Everyone on DP knows all of your posts are joke posts. The election isn't going to get overturned, so cry more.

What was the word you used earlier? Oh yeah...desperate. You're now desperately trying to no look silly treating a joke post seriously. You're like the fact checkers that "fact check" The Babylon Bee satire site.

How can an election where the results haven't been certified AND where one candidate has yet to concede be overturned if the outcome is still unknown? The chances of Trump winning are less than slim to none, but nothing is actually decided yet. All we have at this point are media projections and they're even split on their own projections. Current electoral totals:

AP - Biden (290) / Trump (232)
FNC - Biden (290) / Trump (232)
CNN - Biden (306) / Trump (232)
MSNBC - Biden (306) / Trump (232)
270towin - Biden (306) / Trump (232)
ABC - Biden (306) / Trump (232)
CBS - Biden (306) / Trump (232)
PBS - Biden (290) / Trump (232)

What I find interesting is the side that's been crying for "free and fair" elections and "count every vote" for the past 4 years have no interest in determining if this election was fair at all. There seems to be a rush to ram their candidate through as the winner despite evidence that rules were changed at the 11th hour and all the ballots still haven't been counted as of yesterday. That being said, it the shoes were on the other feet, the Trump supporters would be saying what the Biden supporters are saying now and vice versa. The 2 major political parties in this country are full of hypocrites and they'll say whatever is politically convenient for them at the moment regardless of what they said 4 years ago (see Amy Coney Barrett's nomination).

I would be absolutely shocked if Biden isn't sworn into office on 1/20/21. There are still legal challenges in play and there is the tiniest of slim chances that Trump may flip a state or two that has already been "called" even though they've been "called" by a media that can't agree on the # of states that Biden has actually "won".

This may shoot a hole in the CT from the OP wide enough to fly a 747 through but the owner of DP nor any of it's staff have any say in the eventual outcome of this election. Much like the 2000 election where Gore didn't concede (the 2nd time) until December 13th, 2000, the outcome is still unknown at this point. It's highly, highly, highly unlikely that Trump will win, but it is not a certainty at this point that Biden has won. The opinions of random people on the internet (that would be all of us) doesn't change that fact one bit.

I now return you to CT theater, sponsored this hour by Gary Larson.

Oh we want all votes counted, that's what we've been saying from the beginning. The issue is that Donald Trump declared months ahead of the election that the ONLY way he could lose is if the Democrats cheat.

There was never going to be a situation where he lost and didn't do this. It has nothing to do with the facts of whether there was fraud or not, he's automatically assuming there is fraud because he doesn't believe he can legitimately lose.

Hell, disenfranchising voters has always been a Republican top priority and now they're trying to throw out as many legal votes as they can in the hopes of overturning this election, which at 306 to 232 absolutely isn't going to happen.

They're doing this to salt the earth before they're removed from office. They're sour because they lost so they're going to try to burn the faith in our system down on the way out. We'll hear nothing but "Trump is the REAL president" for the next 4 years. If you really support this behavior then you're one of them.

No, I'm the guy dousing Trump supporters that refuse to admit they lost with buckets of reality. Get over it, elections have consequences.

I think Wiki still has Biden sitting on 290 too. And, Wiki is God.
