Let me make this pellucidly clear

[malaise]

Joe Biden is the President Elect.

Now fuck this shit and call it.

[Raster]

1. While I ache for this election to be called for Joe...

...I KNOW that tRump* and his army of sycophants will seize EVERY OPPORTUNITY to attempt to invalidate the results of this election. By allowing the vote count to proceed to seemingly absurd lengths, the results of the election inoculate themselves against invalidation. This has become the most watched, examined and scrutinized election in history. Not just U.S. history. History. And unfortunately, there is an entire army of tRumpers* believing that "their election" is being stolen from them. So, as agonizing as it is, COUNT. EVERY. VOTE. Double-count every vote. Give us results that will be able to stand in every court of the land. This was not just a presidential election. This was an existential election for the soul of America.

The counting efforts must proceed. The results must be protected and fairly disseminated. The results of this election must stand the test of time.

2. It's been good to see elections officials including Georgia Repubs vouch for integrity of counting

and the continuous media reporting of the careful methodical counting and reporting with openness and transparency is helping restore faith in our democracy with many of us.

[Raster]

3. Absolutely!!! As painful as it may seem...

...every bit of scrutiny validates the results. Count every vote. Leave no doubt. Ensure the results -and processes- are transparent to all.

There must be NO DOUBT as to the direction of this country MOST. OF. US. have chosen.

[mdbl]

5. I agree.

From the very beginning of the absentee process I have been impressed with the state and county vote validation and tracking system. It's nice to know there is some integrity left.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

11. Agreed...good things come to those that wait.

[Alpeduez21]

13. Technically the election isn't "called"

Until Congress approves the electoral votes in January.

Normally media says the race is over based on facts and the loser concedes. Two things are happening here: 1) MSM is full of republican taint lickers so they want to keep their repuke overlords happy. 2) No one really believes the lazy lying steaming pile Hump will concede.

14. Actually the states,

have different dates where they validate the results of the election. Once the states validate their elections it's ball game.

Having news agencies call the election for a state does absolutely nothing legally to impair the count. Pa. should have been called by now. If Biden were a Republican all of the major news agencies would have made the call by now. Biden is going to win Pa. by 75k votes.

[TNNurse]

18. I agree, we need to have the patience to get this done so there can be no question.

[C Moon]

4. Yep. And the longer we wait, the closer we get to the GOP having everything their way.

[Raster]

6. I do not agree.

The votes have been cast. The votes must be fairly and fully counted. The more accurate the process, the more transparent the processes, the less chance there will be of any successful tRumpian* legal action.

8. This is a conflation of issues, the M$M can call the race for Biden AND the votes continue to be ...

... counted with a transparent process.

I don't know why we're coddling a child abusing racist like Trump, fuck him

[gab13by13]

15. I agree,

a network calling a state does absolutely nothing to taint the count. Pa. should have been called by now. Anyone care to bet who will win Pa.? I will spot you 50k votes and bet whatever amount of money you want, just PM me.

7. Networks are milking every last dollar from this ...

“Faced with a future of relative calm and quiet from the next administration the major television networks have unanimously decided to reap advertising dollars from some of the last bombastic reports that have captivated the world so long.” *

*this is an actual quote from a fictitious source, not to be believed.

[uponit7771]

9. Yep, they're further enabling the racist child abuser Trump and his supporters feelings

[SmartVoter22]

10. I'll wait for Reuters to call it

Reuters is overly cautious and makes sure the loser has absolutely no possible chance of overcoming a lead.
AP uses a slightly lower standard.

But, the only call is on Dec 14, 2020 when the states, are required by law, report to Congress the one and only official election results- which includes all Electoral Votes and the actual popular votes.

I know you are bored waiting, but think of all the funny things that will come from this protracted election count.

One of the ebst I've seen is;
"The only way Trump gets to 270... is to loose 50 pounds".

[2naSalit]

12. I'm anxious but I am also willing to wait...

Because otherwise, there will be claims that they didn't count every vote. Right now, in this election, it couldn't be more important to actually show everybody that they are.

[olegramps]

16. However long it takes I am for the count of every vote by our citizens. I am not a Republican .

I am thankful for all those workers who are dedicated to the process. We owe them our heartfelt thanks regardless if they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents or other. Only the ignoramuses who are enemies of the nation are the ones outside counting centers attempting to disrupt the process. I despise them just as our forefathers who were willing to take up arms to protect their god given rights for representation.

[Demsrule86]

17. Yup,This is disgraceful.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. I'm Ok With Things As They Are

This proves we don't need instantaneous results.
We can get rid of the machines, take time to count, wait for the states, wait for the EC.
It's 10 weeks to inauguration anyway.
We've gotten to used to knowing on Tuesday night.
Speed is unnecessary. Accuracy is not.
While I agree that part of it is the desperate need of the media to extend the horse race, it's also distracting the maladministration. Let them stew.

[malaise]

20. JoeScum says the race is over and the networks should have called it for

Biden. He says it is irresponsible for the networks not to call it.

Biden is at .5 which means he has passed the threshold so this is over.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Sort Of Agree

But, only sort of.
It was clear they were extending the race for ratings, but I don't care what they think.
I'd rather they report the news when it happens!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. What do you consider "close"? Fox absurdly comparing it to 2000 close. Funny

they don't refer to 2016 rust belt close.

[spanone]

22. Pellucidly Correct!!!!

[malaise]

23. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

We did it!

[spanone]

24. I'm Crying.....can't help it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malaise]

25. Relief

That's what I feel - I exhaled but it's fun watching Santorum cry
