US Election Day 2020

If I were to move back to Europe I think I'd want to move back to Munich - sure I -know- it has changed a lot since the early 70s, but it was the last place I live in Europe, and also well, where a good sized chunk of family came from on my dad's side [a few centuries ago.]

Munich is a nice city for tourists, but has a high cost of living.

Ever heard of Freiburg?

And now this.

I mean AND NOW THIS.

They have no sympathy for some kid with his finger in a dyke for years and years stopping the whole place from flooding.

That finger in the dyke story is an American invention.
Never really happened. It is not how our dykes work.
We only have several statues of that little fellow to please American tourists.

I thought you were trying to keep people away, geesh.

I just read at one site that the Pennsylvania Secretary of State was on CNN claiming the election could be decided today in PA.

Considering PA has 20 electoral votes, which would not put Trump over the top...

Anyone out there can confirm this? The CNN site doesn't have her saying this, as far as I can find.

Sure: Biden eyes 270 as he gains on Trump in Pennsylvania

Yup

ETA - and its in the same State I started my life in

Biden is even closer in Ga - less than 13k votes difference. .2% of the votes currently is what is the difference.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Why settle for Canada? Check out Holland.

Legalized weed, more bikes than (healthy) people, everyone speaks English, beautiful cities, joppisaus - what's not to love?

I've been curious about visiting Groningen, where my ancestors left for the US around 1900.

Not enough housing, jobs, and space.
The climate is way to wet, cold and windy for what most Americans are used to.
When we talk about hockey we mean field hockey.
Football we play with a ball with our feet, not with an wobbling egg in our hands.
Our elections would totally make the average American heads explode: choise out of 28 different political parties last general election.
Our liberals are seen as a right wing party.
Although we all speak English, you definately need to learn Dutch if you want to fit in.
We are an overcrowded country as it is.

Sorry.

THIS American is used to cold and windy. If that is a criteria, you're going to have to accept the entire city of Chicago. We do hockey, too, both field and ice. Soccer, or rather your football, we can do. I could be smart and investigate all of the different political parties. Liberals seen as right wing. Utopia for me. Learning dutch, way more difficult. Overcrowded, really. I passed through there and didn't seem that way at all. Even dodging bicycles in Amsterdam wasn't near as dangerous as trying to cross rush hour traffic here.

Anyhow, where do I sign up?

Yes. Georgia is still open too. But there are fewer votes left to count in Georgia. Biden needs 63% of the remaining votes there to win the state, in Pennsylvania he only needs 56%.

North Carolina is still open too btw. Biden needs 61% of the remaining votes to win there. It's unlikely he'll get that but not totally impossible.

But its far more likely the votes that still need to be counted will go for biden because city voters, not rural.

Seriously? OMG...the damage a Trump can do between now and then.

Alright, as of yesterday Nevada was doing its very best to count. Now they say a week?

Who the fuck did Trump pay off overnight?

If I remember right, one the most exported commodities in the Benelux region are its own citizens looking for jobs. They have decent economies, just ... well, limits to growth and all of that.

Steve Kornacki, whom I admire for his incredible grasp on statistics, was saying earlier that in Atlanta and Pittsburgh, Biden is getting 80-90% of the ballots as they're counted.

With this delay in Nevada, and their law about postmark, I have this stupid fear that someone will magically produce 10,000 ballots in the next week that magically have the correct postmark for Trump.
