a month ago it might have been questionable.
not now.
after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.
And now we have criminal referrals of 3000+ cases in Nevada. *sigh*
At this point, there is no real winning. Imagine if the court steps in and reverses some of this. First of all, I don't know how they are going to step in. What objective remedy will work other than each of the contested states have a re-election for a few days - give people time to get to the polls? The left won't accept that either.

@Doctor Who: They are just another political tool.

@JW Gone Bad: Good for you. It’s fitting that you would think of it as Christmas.

Good lord. Maybe, to start, no more mail-in ballots. It’s fine if you go the absentee ballot route - where you request a ballot, they send it to you, you fill it out, get it certified, then send it back, signatures are compared, and postmarks are verified. Those are OK - especially for troops.
But these mail-in ballots were just sent out to everyone, multiples arriving at the same address, to dead people, to animals. Then all the safeguards were disabled. The postmark check was disregarded, no signature check, they changed the rules so that if any ballot shows up, it should be counted - with no concern about how it got there or who really filled it out.
Such a giant cluster fork. And the thing that chaps my ass : we all knew this could happen. We hoped it wouldn’t be this close.

The MI lawsuit had already been dismissed. It asked the court to order Republican challengers to watch the counting, name entry, ballot box drop off, among other things. All required by MI law. But the suit was dismissed because ... the counting is now complete so ordering the state to comply is irrelevant. Not a good look.

@titch: true. Neither side “won big”.
The pollsters, however, have “lost big” - that is for sure.

@slim: Yeah, the lawsuits filed in MI to stop the counting are meant to stop the counting until they regain access.... which I think has happened? Not sure. It is not a good look. Things need to be transparent. It is not unreasonable to demand a recount in MI anyway.
i have never believed in the polls.
they are as useless as teats on a boar hog.
likewise, i think the media is so untrustworthy that no one should believe in their perspectives and holy opinions.
No matter the outcome of the election, this is an objective fact: the polls are just another political tool to influence voters.
Biden went to Michigan because he had internal polling that told him it was close. But the public polls - they would have you believe it was a blue wave.

There may be a reasonable explanation for adding votes for one candidate all at once.
OK. What? In the U.S. the ballots can't be separated into parties, as it is in the UK. The ballot contains a vote for many different races, and it is possible to vote for different parties for different races.
Here is one explanation:
The jump in voters in Michigan was due to a simple technical glitch:
https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/11/4/21549710/biden-michigan-votes-trump-retweet-election-map
Trump by a significant margin, it is as simple as that.
A typo? So is this article saying that the news organizations are getting update files from the state, and that in the process of creating the file, there was a "typo" - as in someone finger-flubbed? As in... there is a human feeding these numbers? A human.... in the state government...
Or are they saying a computer dumped out a "0" into an automatically generated file? That is almost worse - because it implies some manual intervention into the computer systems generating the numbers. If the DB that is aggregating votes has votes for Trump, it won't dump "0". And if it is a bug, then the bug would happen more often.
If that is the explanation: OK, then recount.
Here's proof of fraud: they are not allowing observers in to watch the process, despite court orders.
Also, when inner city black districts suddenly have higher turnout for Biden than they had for Obama. And at the same time, comparable black districts in other non-contested cities have a Biden turnout much lower than Obama.
