Trump 232 - 306 Biden

From there,I’m curious to know where the Senate sits.If the Democrats snuck a Majority there,that would really send the Republicans off the Deep End! :o
The number of African-Americans in Arizona is a lot lower than in a lot of other states (African-Americans are more likely to vote for Biden) and the Hispanics in the military in Arizona are more likely to be on citizenship pathways and don't have a vote (you do two stints in the US military and you qualify for US citizenship even if you are a "wetback"... something that the US doesn't really talk about much).So the military votes are more likely to break fro Trump in Az than in Georgia.

But you are correct, it should be called by now, just Kushner's call to Murdoch and the riling of the militias when FOX called it for Biden has scared the media.

In the US (in the absence of a central election commission), the media call it, the parties claim (and concede) it and the states certify the result.

As for the Georgia Senate - they have a system where they don't hold separate "Primaries" to identify the Republican and Democratic candidates. Everyone who nominates is on the ballot and if no candidate achieves 50% the top two have a run off ballot (so there could be 2 Republicans on the ballot and has been for a while).

There were 13 candidates on the Senate ballot for the ordinary Senate seat (7 Dems and 6 Reps) and a smaller number for the "special" out of cycle election. So there wiill be a ballot in January in both cases a Rep vs a Dem candidate.

Seeing that this will be a battle for the Senate (if the Dems win both seats the Senate will be locked at 50/50 with the Vice President having the vote to break any gridlock), expect a shitload of money to be thrown at the runoffs...

I love how Trump sent Rudy Guliani to do a presser outside the "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" in Pennsylvania ... which is located between a dildo shop and a crematorium.

Poor fellow didn't know if he was coming or going...

Funny how watching Lord of The Rings(The Two Towers),I’ve equated Trump to Sauron.And his followers as Orcs!

Now,why would I think such horrible thoughts,about 71 million living beings,........and The Anti Christ?!
