Correct. So why is it most of the down ballot counts were completed on election day evening, but the presidential race was still counting for days afterwards in just certain democrat controlled states?

While I do believe there could be republicans that would not vote for Trump, I do not believe any of them would vote a republican down ballot and fill in the oval for Biden. Just not happening. Biden is a doddering old fool that doesn't stand for anything. He doesn't even know what his party stands for. Or probably where he actually is right now...

 

I actually know 4 "republicans" personally who did that.

To be fair one works for NPR and two others worked on Romney's campaign and all four live in Arlington Co.






can you get impeached the day you get sworn in?

 

nothing to see here [anymore]...

 

please ignore these numbers like you do the holocaust.

I'd post more responses, but I really can't be arsed due to the bullshit asymmetry. Oh well, at least this thread gives good insight into the psyche of someone who's stuck in a filter bubble.

 

There was no reason to check that box for COVID-19, there was however, a reason to check that box to skirt ID verifications.

so do election fraud deniers remind you more of Holocaust deniers or flat earthers??

 

Damn you and your factual, evidence-based refutations.

But, yeah, indefinite ≠ permanent.


Also, I was not previously familiar with Brandolini's law, so for me learning that today. (My countered Brainey's and brought that post back to 0.)



The related phrase, Gish gallop, describes a phenomenon in the legal system which is so old and established that it never even occurred to me that a separate word or phrase would be needed to describe it in a non-legal context.

Specifically, the tactic of burying one's opponent in motions. Motions for discovery, motions to produce, motions to dismiss, motions to enjoin, motions requiring rebuttals, etc. It's called a Discovery Trap. Motions for Discovery tend to require a lengthy and involved response. So if you can out-intern your opponent in terms of manpower to produce and respond to frivolous motions, you can drain them to the point of being unable to perform effectively when the actual core case comes before the court.


Same basic idea.


Fun fact: Having become involved in precisely this sort of thing, as a first-year law student, contributed to my decision to climb back into my former profession. The idea that any silicon-valley law firm would seek to employ me, someone who had at the time been a law student for only a few months, in any sort of serious litigation, freaked me out more than I can possibly describe.

By comparison, the broadcast business, which Hunter Thompson described as "a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs" seems downright altruistic by comparison.

 

How to news in 2020

Where do you think the empty envelopes go after they've counted the votes?

 

BBC's coverage is surprisingly good - e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-55016029.

In other fake news:

 

You do realize that hot-linking to Facebook doesn't work.

 

This place used to grab urls and store them...guess not anymore.

 

There are some addons like this one that allow you to quickly re-upload it to another site that allows hot-linking :-)

 

sounds dirty.

@Joe Perez with your interest in the law, you might also enjoy the memo. I sure did. It's filled with legal burns of the Trump campaign.

 

This just in:
Recount requests granted, recounts underway in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
New count yields zero votes for Biden, and none for Trump.
Official apology statements to follow.
