Wainy316 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 How frivolous is the vetting procedure to be an elector? Would you put it past the Republicans to infiltrate the Dems ranks with potential faithless electors. They seem devoid of any sense of ethics.

HanoiVillan Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Cheering thought for the day: where will be the first location where heavily-armed 'Bikers for Trump' or similar turn up, trying to storm buildings to stop the vote count? Surely we're likely to find out not long after they wake up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-rated pollsters predictions towards the end of the campaign: Biden +11 (NYT) Biden +7 (Emerson) Biden +17 (ABC News/WaPo) Biden +5 (Fox News) Reality: Biden looks likely to lose by 1-2 points.

Whatever the result, the massive leads that were being reported for Biden in some states were nonsense. It is very difficult to poll in a electorate which is so diverse and is changing rapidly. They made changes in the weighing of votes from last time due to the massive difference in college education and voting behaviour, but things change. Trump has had gains in Latino and Black votes, which to a outsider seems baffling. There is probably quite a lot of the voters who would not want to admit they vote Trump as it is seen as so controversial (to put it mildly)l, but then vote for him in the election. What is clear is that the Democrats will again win the popular vote and have only failed to do so once this century. It is the baffling voting system which is increasingly favouring Republicans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have him leading by an average of 7-8 points and he wins by less than 1%, that still shows a massive flaw somewhere in how they are calculating things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that looks like a bad prediction now, it seems like Biden might creep over the line with these last absentee and mail-in ballots. But if you want a state where the highest-rated pollsters have been way off, this is it. I think the margins in Ohio, Florida and Texas also reflect fairly big misses TBH.

The polls had Biden up 7-8% in Pennsylvania, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Biden now leading in Michigan as well. Shall we just give Trump what he wants and stop the counting now? Edit - or maybe not. Edited November 4, 2020 by ml1dch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
