I have no idea but what I do see is that when Biden mis-states something we all have to realise he didn't mean it as said but if Trump mis-states something it is cast in stone!
I'm not sure he did mis-state, unless you think the 'Fraud Squad' is a criminal organisation?

This discussion is getting far too emotional.
On another subject, does anybody know the candidates' stances on betting? I know something about Trump's support, but Biden I don't remember to have said anything.

Prepare for more gyrations in the market. Nate Silver thinks AZ swings back to Trump.
Next update from Arizona 9pm Eastern - 02:00 UK time Friday. "Apparently" the votes now being counted in Arizona are election day voters, not mail in voters.

Dem voters saying that the spikes in votes in Michigan and Wisconsin all favoring Biden was simply because they were counting mail in ballots at the time and that Trump had encouraged his base to vote in person. If that reasoning is put into whats expected from the Arizona update then Trump "may" close the gap on Biden or even overtake if some are to be believed. Either way it "could" lead to a nice little opportunity but I doubt I'm willing to stay up again to find out.

Old Joe formerly long time senator for Delaware

"Delaware now has full legal sports betting, including single game wagers and futures bets, as of June 2018. Delaware is among the small group of states that previously already had a form of legal sports betting. It was actually the first to try following the 1992 passage of the federal ban known as PASPA."

One of Trumps biggest donors is the owner of The Venetian casino in Vegas - Sheldon Adelson.

Adelson is hated by most poker players, as he got Trump to regulate against online poker in the land of the free.

I heard he's pretty ill

(Its also a reason why a lot of Nevada will be voting Dem - currently 1.18)

Adelson v unfriendly to locals with parking/resort fees etc (locals dont pay, but it affects tourists)

Trump demanded that vote counting stops while he's winning, including legitimate votes, and you think the Democrats caused the problem. :lol:
Biden said "We Have Put Together The Most Extensive And Inclusive Voter Fraud Organization In The History Of American Politics" and you think the Republicans caused the problem. :lol:
You must all realise Biden was referring to fraud prevention.
Or are you simply criticising him for not including the word prevention?

I think it was probably just another Biden Gaff but missing key words like prevention on the world stage could lead to some interesting events, especially when it comes to North Korea, Russia or the dispute in the South China Sea... oh what fun it all is.

A gnats whisker with AZ, (thought that was a done deal for Biden)

If Trump takes nick AZ and Biden takes Penn...it's a Tie... :roll: :shock:
Biden will still win, all he needs is PA, he can give away NV, AZ, GA and NC - I think unless I've calc. it wrong :lol:
Sounds right... :D
270towin.com is a pretty good site for working out the combinations. :)

The problem was handled by the Democrats long before the counting started. Suppression polling, intimidation, confiscating/burning/discarding postal ballots, votes from dead people and cats. Biden knew he was going to win because of these tactics. In his own words he has "the best election fraud team". That's why he made a speech before Trump did, to force Trumps hand while holding all the aces. Now the left wing has more fuel for their fires. Watch the violence escalate and be blamed on Trump.
Trump demanded that vote counting stops while he's winning, including legitimate votes, and you think the Democrats caused the problem. :lol:
From what I've read the reason for demanding the counting to be stopped was because in Michigan they sent their ballot counters home for the night and told press that they would resume in the morning, when counting resumed Bidens count suddenly spiked by over 100k votes but nobody had been counting. A similar thing apparently happened in Wisconsin.

They have filed a lawsuit in Pennsyvania because they are not being allowed to see the ballots counted (which is part of a previous law suit) & both sides must be legally allowed to watch...

There is tonnes of videos online regarding fraud, is any of it true, who knows. There is videos of boxes of ballots being dropped off to closed counting stations in the dead of night, videos of Democrats setting fire to a bag of Republican Ballots, boxes of dumped ballots that never made it to be counted. Polling stations issuing sharpie pens in Republican areas. Is any of it true, maybe, maybe not. I think in total there were 4 " data errors" that acurred during the counting all favouring Biden, an extra 0 on the count etc... anyway rambling on.
You should work at the Whitehouse as Trump's press secretary. :) And what's happened to Kayleigh? Haven't seen her for a while.

It was an amusing but fairly obvious error, it shouldn't have needed fact checking. :lol:

I doubt Biden will ever topple Bushes, "more and more of our imports are coming from overseas" or "if we don't succeed we run the risk of failure". :lol:

What about Dan Quale's "space is big, I mean really big, in fact, some people think it goes on forever". :lol:

Pennsylvania :

Currently, Biden 164k behind, with 89% reported.

The one area - Scranton, is currently 467k Biden, but was 584k last time (clinton), so, its reasonable to think
almost 120k will be erased when it comes in.

Penn currently 1.21 - heard a few things about servicemen vote can come is as late as tomorrow - dunno who they favor.
