Who

[Bazile]

So , who won then?

[Bazile]

Will this be like the chads ?

Wrath of the Intolerant, saw them on their last tour, excellent.

I've never been afraid of stating an opinion, not even when fantasists sitting at home in their underwear pretending to be something they've never been start their schtick.

Y'all know who you are.

[jim360]

Everybody loses in this election, frankly.

[Spicerack]

'Start their schtick'? Is that a euphemism.

[naomi24]

You sound despondent, Jim... almost as though you are conceding defeat on behalf of your man.

[jim360]

I was meaning even more generally than that. An election campaign this bitter and divisive, and ending without a landslide win, is hardly going to help America heal. That's the specific "loss" I'm speaking about here.

Did you see this article from August, Jim?

A long article. In summary: everyone had lost even before the election.

No doubt there will be rioting on the streets whoever wins because of those who refuse to accept the democratic result if it doesn't go their way.

[Spicerack]

Christ, will the aBBC ever run out of Trump haters to interview.

[tomus42]

As i predicted yesterday, Trump is claiming victory irrespective of the actual votes, and will look to his cronies in the supreme court to overturn the result if it goes against him.

Anyone still seeing anything other than a malignant Putin wannabe in DT, please get in touch because i am the owner of a large ornate bridge in London that i'd like to sell you.

Is this old news,fake news,Fox News or expected news? I have given up following US election coverage. Tooooo complicated. Hope Trump wins and there is No Mississippi burning.

[Zacs-Master]

HEY BAZ! Biden has won.

[jim360]

Probably.

Supreme Court Shenanigans time? Good thing that Trump hasn't installed a 6-3 majority of right-leaning judges on the impartial body...

[Zacs-Master]

Probably, says the man with zero voting credibility. Sheesh.

[brainiac]

It's absolutely crazy that in some states (they all have their own rules) you can post your postal vote on the day of the election and it will be legitimate, even if it arrives 2 or 3 days later. No wonder there's acrimony and confusion.

In the UK, all postal votes must reach the polling station/returning officer by the close of the polling booths, usually 10pm.

Since the American people are choosing a national President, there should be national rules.

[Mozz71]

A little premature Zacs, but it's looking hopeful.

[agchristie]

Wot about deciding the matter by way of a good old fashioned duel?

(Er,cud be a while before either actually turns round)

[Zacs-Master]

Wot about deciding whether you’re 19 or 49?

[jim360]

"Probably, says the man with zero voting credibility."

Any chance you could, you know, not make stuff up?

"Since the American people are choosing a national President, there should be national rules."

Agreed, but the national rules in question are that it's down to the States to set their own rules -- I think the other point is that the States more or less have the same status, within the US at least, of separate nations. It would more or less be an end to the "US" part to have a national set of standardised rules. You'd probably also want to junk the Electoral College, too, since that's partly designed to give the smaller States influence beyond their size.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh my apologies, you voted once, in a local election. My bad (raised eyebrows and a shake of the head)
