***Election Week Sweat Thread*** (renamed) - Page 2 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

My prediction: CHAOS

There's going to be chaos if the election is close. 2000 will look like children's play with all the lawsuits and ballot counting going on.

There's going to be chaos if Trump loses. You really think he and all his MAGA cultists with their militias and convoys are going to go gently into the night?

There will probably be lesser chaos if Trump somehow wins, as millions of people are going to be freaked out about 4 more years of narcissism, incompetence, corruption and death.

Congratulations President Biden, I suggest re-education camps and punishments as opposed to coming together and healing. The later is way over rated in the real world.

We’ve all played enough poker to know that 10% chances hit all the time. But that’s the odds of a Trump victory. It’s not what the betting markets show. His chances haven’t changed in a matter of hours, all that’s changed is the amount of money bet on Trump, which can be explained in a number of ways that have nothing to do with the odds of it actually happening

Has anyone sensed any of that attitude that hurt Hillary last election of complacency that voter turnout for the democrats wasn't that strong as some voters thought it was in the bag?

More like 10-11 A.M. it seems unless there are landslides in some of the early battleground states.

I have no idea which way this is going to go, but the total number of votes is going to be a record. I’ve been watching people for weeks waiting in lines around Vegas to vote. So if the saying about dems winning when voter turnout is high is true

I want Carville to have been right that Trump was going to drop out of the race months ago, but alas.

To his credit - he has no need to dress up for Halloween.

Yeah I voted Biden by a landslide (my genuine view as well as pround hope) but I might have been by tempted by a 'Biden wins by a landslide and loses' option

I just voted. The idea that Trump supporters will riot if he loses is insane. The only reason every major city is boarded up is because of Antifa/BLM.

Antifa is going to come armed with bags of soup, and if they get caught with them they're going to say, "That's just soup for my family."

Have you been paying attention at all? The election here has been going on for weeks and you are asking this question?

Lololol

Howard do you pay attention to anything either?

I love people who ignore politics for four years just to show up on Election Day to say dumb ****.

The election was on for weeks too in 2016 so what's your point?

Actually, they'll say "You can't arrest me. I'm just an idea!"

Well, you and your kin can counter this problem by charging the streets holding porn shots of Hunter from your collections. Be sure to stay safe and account for population density.

His point was you are not paying attention. Amusing reply on your part.

All the best.

I don't think your reply is complete until you also close with the words tick tock.

No more ticks or tocks at this point, we will see how things play out. You still have the opportunity to educate him on population density, and feel free to use your Australia as an example of how the very low density changed the dynamics of the virus, since everyone lives everywhere in your country with the same density

. Also, you can send him some of your favorite Hunter money shots for his battle against Antifa.

All the best.

Eh, the possibility of knowing tonight is probably stronger than you think. As Dynasty pointed out above, they called FL for Trump before midnight despite him only eventually winning by 1.2% -- FL counts votes really fast.

If they call FL for Biden in a similar fashion (Biden winning FL by 1.2% or more is a very reasonable outcome, the odds of this are probably over 35-40%), were pretty much done here. Nearly impossible for Trump to take the EC without Florida.

Over a million African-Americans voted early in Georgia already. That seems like a huge number to me. I'm guessing 90% of them voted for Biden.
I couldn't find anything on how many African-Americans voted in 2016 in Georgia.
Anyone here have that data?
