Quoteand BTW .. if the voting was so "rigged" why are the senate and House votes going the republican way

In short, because they are distinct and separate votes. Fudging all three elections would be obvious, but fudging the presidential vote when the main stream media perception is that nobody likes he candidate isn't going to raise as many eyebrows.

Also, they aren't voting for the whole Senate.
Nothing has been 'fudged', you should go to bed at night and not stay up reading 'stuff'. ;D


ALL democracies elect their various internal representatives/assemblies in different ways. It's also why the various elections are spread out over time. This is all deliberate to ensure that results tend to even each other out, and reduce dangerous spikes. Anyone with any experience of such things would expect differences between electing a personality candidate and a direct representative one.


What doesn't help here is the out of date electoral college, the bizarre way they do postal votes, and that the winner doesn't take office immediately. Whoever wins this is going to do so with a very close result, which will raise issues throughout their term.

      What's all this about?..
It's about being a load of shite, Rae.  ;D
You wouldn't say that if it was the committee election for the Barnsley Whippet Society...  ::)
I would be complaining to the relevant authorities, not whining on Twitter.  ::)

A lot of the more cautious news outlets have yet to call Arizona, but Associated Press have called it in Biden's favour. So that leaves him needing six.

I think it is done and dusted. Trump may leave the white house in cuffs if he won't accept the result.

Always found Trump amusing, and he has not failed to amuse lots of folk through this farce.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

He's helpfully reverted to type when things go his way, sling a load of sh!t in any direction but his own. Then sue some people.

Personally I do I hope he refuses to accept the result. Mostly so we can see what happens next  ;D
