Why? This is just how such a society functions. Expecting anything different is just wishful thinking. You might as well just pray for human nature to change.

They literally do not understand how things work.

I’m afraid they do know. They want it in the Trump stacked courts.

It seems like every news source reports slightly different numbers, it's confusing as hell

I've been disengaged since yesterday. I dont want to see it, I already know how it ends. I'm just here for the aftermath.

With a Trump win and irreversible doom? I hope not, but I'm not optimistic
I was blissfully disengaged but I'm getting sucked in :(

The Trump campaign said it filed lawsuits Wednesday in Pennsylvania and Michigan, laying the groundwork for contesting the outcome in undecided battleground states that could determine whether President Donald Trump gets another four years in the White House.

Suits in both states are demanding better access for campaign observers to locations where ballots are being processed and counted, the campaign said. The campaign also is seeking to intervene in a Pennsylvania case at the Supreme Court that deals with whether ballots received up to three days after the election can be counted, deputy campaign manager Justin Clark said.

The campaign said it is calling for a temporary halt in the counting in both states until it is given “meaningful” access in numerous locations and allowed to review ballots that already have been opened and processed. Trump is running slightly behind Democratic nominee Joe Biden in Michigan. The president is ahead in Pennsylvania but his margin is shrinking as more mailed ballots are counted.

We’ll see. If he can get things tied up in the courts we got huge problems.

Sorry to be a broken record.

As of right now, the stats on CNN look quite favourable to Biden:

Quote:

Joe Biden is closing in on 270 [electoral college votes]
Biden : 253
Trump: 213

:laughing: Why fight it? ;)

Is it really that likely that his lawsuit request will be granted? I mean, the whole undemocratic attitude is scary either way
