2020 Election Game

Speaking of recounts, Michigan is up to a 0.9% Biden lead and more Wayne County votes remaining, so likely going to eclipse the 1% mark (although that is not a cutoff for a paid recount in MI).

How many of those Jo votes would have be Joe votes…very few, if anything JJ helped Biden take the lead (or maybe that's what you were saying)

As of now, Sidehatch, Hutch, Sweetcell and Space Freely are out based on states called

The only states in play are: NC, WI, AZ and ME2
Jules could pull it out if he gets WI right

Looks like Jules is out if WI goes to Biden

Jeffml….you didn't do a ME2 and you may need it to win (if Biden wins NC)
STC - I think your done as it doesn't look like trump is taking AZ

Looks like it's down to ME2 between Heilung and Challanged (and sorta Smakadoodle)

Did I win yet?

I think you did, with the tie breaker in ME2
Unless Biden takes NC it's Jeffml (doesn't matter he didn't vote in ME2 as it won't be a tie-breaker)

No, they beat me to it and deserve it.  I was just agreeing that it was looking like they would be right.  GA wouldn't change this, right?  That's the only one I may have gotten wrong.
The formal WI calls are coming in.
Speaking of GA:  "An estimated 200,000 votes remain uncounted in Georgia, officials say — that’s more than double Trump’s current margin over Biden in the state.  Of the 200,000 uncounted votes in Georgia, most come from left-leaning areas of metropolitan Atlanta, suggesting they’re likely to skew Democratic." Stephanie Saul

Currently, 83,000 votes apart. 

If Biden continues to get 75% of the mail-in vote:

Biden: 2,457,070
Trump: 2,440,172

If he" only" gets 70%:

Trump: 2,450,172
Biden: 2,447,070

So longshot, but possible.

Hutch was the only one with Biden in GA, but he But he got OH wrong …jury is out on NC
I also got FL wrong


And Maine-2


I am more than happy to lose with Biden winning

Trump will request a recount for sure.  He won in 2016 by 22,748.

RECOUNT RULES FOR WI:  The margin needs to be less than 1 percent for a recount in Wisconsin. Trump will have to pay about $3 million for it unless the margin is less than one quarter of 1 percent (per Reid Epstein)


Jim Acosta reports that the Trump campaign has given up on the Wisconsin recount.

(have to save up for winnable legal attacks and 20K+ in WI is not winnable.  Probably move resources to PA, GA, NV, and AZ)

If Biden gets 65% of the remaining vote in GA, he wins by 1,581.  He's been getting closer to 68-70% of the mail in ballots.  62% or below he loses, narrowly.

You want the Senate?  Your best chance is to have a motivated electorate for the runoffs, not another disenfranchised electorate who think their vote doesn't make a difference.

Ok…I'll buy that.
Joe Biden being President is going to enrage the 49.8-50.2% of Georgia voters who voted for Trump that they are going to turn out in such numbers for that special election that I do not seriously give either Ossoff or Warnock any chance in a special. Also the mere lack of a Presidential election at the top of the ticket is going to depress Democratic turnout.
Yeah…I don’t think we have a prayer

Oh there is prayer. Its just that its ineffective.
That too


We don’t stand a chance and I bet we waste $300 million or something on it
NC called for Trump
GA and AZ called for Biden


Ok so who won?
