Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ive thought that the BBC coverage of the election has been crap, always behind the curve and seemingly downplaying the mad bascado shit that Trump has been spouting. But if you consider the editorial slant towards Boris and Farage etc then the bias is very clear towards the far right. f**k the bbc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump can only win one of Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania for me to win. Am I deluded or do I have a chance? Arizona can gtf just now. Looks like it's going to be very tight there. Trumps live meltdown last night was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. Something serious is going to happen if he keeps spouting his conspiracy theory nonsense. I've got the popcorn all ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are currently in the forces, you’d have to worry about Trump’s inability to think or act in proportion to a given situation. I’d be worried I’d be sent to start some mass murder in some country or even ordered to fight against other Americans if the national unrest continues to build. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no fan of the military but many folk in the U.S. and U.K. join up because they cannot get jobs elsewhere.

TheScarf Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have to say, the CNN coverage has been brilliant. BBC and Sky here are about 18 hours behind everything. BBC still have the votes at 0-0. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a deal give them 4 or 5 years they will fund a four year degree after it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Wish I didn't cash out on Georgia now. Having said that, with no chance of a Trump concession speech, Paddy Power saying they'll wait for counts/recounts/legal challenges to be completed first before paying out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The amount of adverts for health insurance and dodgy pills and potions is ridiculous on all the yank channels. The list of caveats takes up half the commercial! It's almost a glimpse of our glorious post brexit future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bit about the extra ballots in Georgia, American VPN needed for the link. Quote Thousands of military, overseas and provisional ballots will soon be added to Georgia’s vote count, another trove of votes besides those already accounted for. There were 8,899 absentee ballots from military and overseas voters that hadn’t yet been returned to election offices in Georgia as of Thursday morning, according to the secretary of state’s office. Another 17,529 overseas ballots had already been returned and counted. Military and overseas ballots have a later deadline than other absentee ballots, according to federal law. While Georgia’s deadline for domestic absentee ballots is 7 p.m. on Election Day, overseas absentee ballots will be counted if they’re postmarked by Tuesday and received at county election offices by Friday. In addition, voters have until Friday to correct problems with provisional and absentee ballots. Election officials lack a statewide count of outstanding provisional ballots in Georgia, which were issued when voters went to the wrong precinct, their registration information couldn’t be found or they lacked photo ID. Fulton County reported 3,900 provisional ballots, and DeKalb County had 1,600. But data on how many provisional ballots were pending in most other counties weren’t available. Election officials will count provisional ballots without any further action needed from voters in many cases. For example, if a ballot was cast in the wrong precinct, votes will be counted for races that the voter was eligible to participate in. But if voters' registration information is in question, they would need to provide it to county elections offices before the end of the day Friday for their ballots to be counted. Voters also face a Friday deadline to correct problems with rejected absentee ballots. Election officials had rejected nearly 2,000 absentee ballots through Thursday, mostly for mismatched or missing signatures. Election officials were required by state law to contact voters and allow them fix errors. https://www.ajc.com/politics/more-ballots-arriving-in-georgia-from-overseas-and-provisional-voters/2IKU3WM5XZD7FDQE5DAOKYXTMY/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
