2020 Presidential Election: let the jockeying commence

I read the Nevada folks are all over the board with information. In fact, read it for yourself:

Nevada deadline for accepting ballots now Nov. 10, nearly 200k ballots remain to be counted: officials


"A Nevada official announced Thursday that the state will accept mail-in ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 until Tuesday, Nov. 10, as the rest of the nation eagerly awaits a vote count from the state that could decide the fate of the presidency.

On Wednesday, a state official had said they would accept votes only until the following day.

Nevada still has 190,150 outstanding ballots to be counted, 90 percent of which are from Clark County, home to Las Vegas.

Only a few hours earlier the Clark County Registrar said there were only about 63,000 ballots that needed to be counted in his county, leaving many scratching their heads."

Washington has the same deadline but it HAS to be postmarked Nov 3. North Carolina is also accepting ballots for 7 days if they are postmarked on 11/3 or earlier.

I believe the House votes.

I misquoted this above, so I deleted that.

My understanding on that is that it is The House, but it is by State within the House. Not by individual members. The Republicans, while in the minority, have members in more states.

There was a post earlier today with Steve Bannon talking to Maria Baratomo (sp?). When she wasn't busy interrupting him, one thing he said is "Nancy Pelosi's House may elect Donald Trump President", or something to that effect.

Georgia is now at only at 2500 for Trump. We were at 58,000 down in Arizona 45 minutes ago. 46,000 now

9:01 p.m.

"As of 8:58 p.m., only 2,497 votes separate Donald Trump (49.41%) and Joe Biden (49.36%) in Georgia."

8:41 p.m.

"The Secretary of State’s Office says 16,105 absentee votes remain to be counted. The largest county still outstanding is Gwinnett with 4,800 ballots."

Not clear if Gwinnett was responsible for the drop to from 3500 to 2500 or not at 9PM. If it hasn't been counted yet it may get ugly.

That sounds ominous. Do provisional ballots get counted immediately? I though they were only leverage in case other ballots weren't approved or after registration was authenticated or any number of reasons. They are provisional. The GA Sec of State today said they code them based on reason for the provisional ballot because different codes are handled under different procedures.
 
There was apparently 100k ballots in WI which split tickets between a vote for Biden or empty prez selection and down ballot GOP. Trump lost by 20k. How much was that influenced by the polls which showed Trump had no chance in WI? If these people knew their vote mattered, would have they changed it?
 
Let’s do a recount. All votes need to count, right? Watch the trouble if either side thinks it is rigged. Time to fix the system and respect the result.
