Just to be clear, you do accept that a fatal International pandemic IS a good reason though, yeah? 

Yes, a pandemic is good enough reason.  It's not this year's election specifically, just a general principle.

 

And to add to Detroit Blues, I fully support postal voting for people who cannot make it to the polls for disability reasons or moving out of their district for work, etc.  I just believe it shouldn't be available without good reason.

No your are right, it's fine to go to court all the time as long as you agree with the person going to court

To be clear Trump is trying to block completely legitimate votes in most cases, although the Pennsylvania "we can count anything that turns up until Friday with or without a posting date before election day" is utter nonsense.

If trump is going to court based on outrageous lie, then it's not even a remotely similar thing.

 

Miller argued the governments authority to trigger article 50 without parliamentary approval, she was correct and won.

 

I doubt anyone is critising the fact he's using the courts, so would the Dem's. It's the fact he's a lying, cheating, fat, orange shite hawk, basing his arguments on a load of old toss to cause problems and stir up hatred.

C’mon, how many of those ballots do you really think are arriving? I doubt there will be more than a handful that don’t have a postmark or have an illegible postmark from the USPS.
 

And if any do arrive in that state, they are to be segregated in case there is a recount or the courts order those votes void. 
 

That is nothing compared Trump wanting to shutdown all vote counting because he knows he’s in trouble.

Just seen on the BBC that one Trump supporter is concerned the radical centre-right far-left Democrats will "rewrite the history books".

Trump has literally tried to suppress American history with his stance against the 1619 project

Agreed.  Hopefully the courts see it the same way.

I could be offended or pleased about what you just said, if I knew what it meant.

Arizona could well end up within a single percentage point or smaller margin. Georgia could slip into the Biden column. I would not discount the possibility of a state like North Carolina growing awfully close as well.

Why have Nevada not budged for seemingly over 24 hours?

Iirc they're releasing their next count update at 5pm our time.  No idea why it's being done like that.

i expect they're still waiting for someone to offer to sponsor the release as so many are watching it

[Mickyblueeyes]

Seen the news that some Trump supporters are at counting centres protesting - fine. Some have arrived with rifles -WTF! Seriously, at the US presidential election, the leaders of the free world you have some showing up with weapons. It’s a sad day for democracy. 
 

If anyone gets hurt by one of these nut jobs, you’ve got to question Trump on his long list of unfounded allegations and incitement.

Probably fed up with the idiots picking apart every movement and calling it a "vote dump"
