BREAKING: Wisconsin's presidential recount is completed. Joe Biden gained 87 votes and again won the state.

Trump becomes the first presidential candidate in history to lose recounts in two different states.

Trump and his allies remain 1-39 in post-election litigation.
Trump ain't going to pull it off, he is losing everywhere.

Former data chief and strategist to Trump claims FBI have requested findings from him that indicates illegal ballots.

If that's true then it means the FBI are investigating election fraud.... how do the states sign off on the integrity of the vote if there is an active investigation.

This market is going on way past 14th December, I'm sticking with this gets decided in a contingent election, vote to go to the House of Representatives.

Shame there isn't a market for that.

From what you've said, it sounds like the Trump camp have asked the FBI to investigate and they're asking for evidence of illegal ballots before they even begin an investigation.

Oh, I don't know about that. Could well be true, certainly sounds possible because in his tweet it says all evidence will be handed in by Tuesday.

Not sure Derek, I wasn't trying to suggest they did or did not, just that if this does become an active investigation & gets formally announced then panick could hit the fan on Bidens price. Some big money floating around that might cause nerves twitch.

Joe Biden has fractured his ankle and is now in some sort of pot. He was at the hospital on the 28th, if he's a unlucky chap give it 5 to 7 days until he has corona virus and 10 to 15 days until he's dead, well before the electrol college declares. The VP is looking a great bet at 1000 to 1.

It's funny how all evidence is always due to be handed in tomorrow or next week, they'll be saying that in two years time. ;)

You are hopeful. ;) As has been stated before, even in the unlikely event of Biden's passing before the 14th it doesn't necessarily mean he won't be declared the winner of the Betfair market.

When I was little I once asked my mother if a particular elderly aunty I hadn't seen for years "is dead yet"! You can imagine my mum was furious - there's no need to be so blunt!

No idea why this came to mind after reading your reply but,

I thought it was bleak but not as blunt as people talking about hoping someone is swinging from a rope.

Why do so-called football fans bother going to the match when they're not even interested in it. Some of them were facing the other way as play continued!

Most people do, they're just unaware, especially the left... I mean dont get me wrong, im not left or right leaning... but instantly you have to be more susceptible to gullibility if you're not conservative.

Anyway, I'm not sure how many times I have to explain it before it soaks in, but just because I write something doesn't mean I believe it to be fact. The reason I'm interested is because (if/could/may) have an impact on market activity.
