When will we know who has won the US election?
BBC ^ | 11/4/24 | Sam Cabral

Posted on 11/04/2024 3:43:10 PM PST by DallasBiff

In some presidential races the victor has been named late on election night, or early the next morning. This time, the tight race in many states could mean media outlets wait longer before projecting who has won.

Democrat Kamala Harris, the current vice-president, and Republican Donald Trump, the former president, have been running neck-and-neck for weeks.

If they call a counting halt in a swing state, the tally is close and Dems are finding boxes of ballots in the parking lot.

That would be the same one that called AZ for BiteMe after only about 5% of the vote had come in.

If KH wins, it will be known before 9pm eastern, and writ in stone by a finger of lightning.
If DJT wins, it will go into extra innings until SCOTUS settles it and then there will be blood, frogs, boils, and seven other huge problems.

“Hillary hasn’t conceded 2016”

And she should have because she lost. But it makes no difference. She lost

And this one won’t concede for the same reason the other one didn’t in 2016

I don’t feel like it. If you are that dumb, it’s useless to argue with you.

You can look at my long history of posts.

When I make a claim of any kind I support it with links, numbers, articles etc. and I listen carefully to critics and try to answer their points with additional data, links, numbers, articles.

I read the article.

It focused (reasonably) on post election thuggery.

I agree that is an issue...

After we win.

I hope I’m wrong, but they are conducting lawfare on so many fronts and almost assuredly have false-flag violence queued up that I don’t see how absolute chaos is avoided.

Again, I hope I am wrong, but my gut tells me I am not.

>> Does anybody here believe the Dems would say “Better luck to our side in the next election, we tried our best, good luck to our friends the Republicans and their leader Donald Trump. We all love this country. We’re ready to set hostility and name-calling aside for the good of the American people.”🤝💟 <<

Far cry from Nixon in 1960, isn’t it?

Yes, and the Hubert Humphrey 1968 one I have quoted here a couple of times.

He congratulated Nixon and his voice cracked as he said he had done his best and Mr. Nixon won and he had lost. Then he pledged to try for bipartisan agreement on some bills with him.

And Reagan met with Dem Tip O’Neill and said as in the recent movie that they were political opponents during the day in DC but become two Irishmen having some drinks together after dark.

Really antiquated sentiments as of today.

They used to act like gentlemen.

Not 2000; Bush v Gore.

I went to bed that night thinking we knew.

As soon as the democrats win it.

and only then.

Harris refuses to concede. The democrat lawyers swoop in. The entire election is thrown to left wing governors and leftist Marxist / Leninist judges

That was Bret Baier and Faux News with a huge grin on his face while he was refusing to call Florida for Trump with 75% of the vote in and Trump up by double digits

I’m more concerned about who the dems and deep state will allow to assume the Presidency even if Trump wins big or small.

The Brits are secretly hoping that America crashes and the election results in disarray as the Socialist Fascists that control Britain want Harris to establish the USA Unity Party for good , with out any other parties allowed.

All your rights will become privileges under Harris, just like in Britain.
