So, not all the votes have been counted and it’s been predicted that we won’t know the final results for a few days. So, we’re going to continue where we left off on Election Night.

Please feel free to talk about the election, post tweets about it, links to credible sources, but absolutely NO YOUTUBE VIDEOS.

Here is where we stand thus far:

From The Los Angeles Times:

  • Trump FALSELY claimed he won the election and insisted that vote counting stop.
  • Neither Republican Sen. Susan Collins nor Democratic Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon were able to declare victory.
  • Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania still up for grabs. But Joe Biden takes the lead in WI.
  • Nevada is too close to call.

  • State Department Requests International Oversight of 2020 Election Process

    International observers monitoring the U.S. presidential race said America’s election system has passed “an extreme stress test” but warned that President Trump is trying to undermine trust in it.  “Baseless allegations of systematic deficiencies, notably by the incumbent President, including on election night, harm public trust in democratic institutions,” said Michael Georg Link, a German politician monitoring the U.S. elections with the 57-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Link called on U.S. officials to make sure that every vote is counted.

    The OSCE monitors were invited by the State Department and have tracked U.S. elections for nearly two decades. The group’s interim report recounts numerous challenges facing U.S. poll workers this year.  Urszula Gacek, a former Polish diplomat who heads the OSCE mission, said monitors found “no solid ground” to the allegations of systematic wrongdoing. “The system has held up well,” she said Wednesday. at a news conference in Washington on Wednesday .The group had monitors in 30 states. They also visited post offices but found “nothing untoward” in the handling of mail-in voting, ( cont at link)  NPR

  • Trump's lead shrinks in GA; legal team files suit to stop voting

    CNN:

    “Trump’s lead has shrunk to 47,000 votes. Trump has 49.9%. Biden has 48.9%. Georgia, 16 electoral votes, it’s now down to 47,111 votes, it keeps getting smaller and smaller that lead, and we’re waiting now, bracing for a whole bunch of new numbers to come in,” Blitzer said

    The Trump campaign is filing a lawsuit to stop vote counting in Georgia, a campaign official said. It is unclear whether the suit will be successful.

    “President Trump and his team are fighting for the good of the nation to uphold the rule of law, and Georgia’s law is very clear: to legally count, mail ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. That’s still the law, even after Democrats sued earlier this year to extend the deadline and delay Election Day—President Trump and Republicans fought to uphold Georgia law, and we won,” Trump Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark said in a statement.

    Clark went on to say that “a Republican poll observer in Georgia witnessed 53 late absentee ballots illegally added to a stack of on-time absentee ballots in Chatham County. We will not allow Democrat election officials to steal this election from President Trump with late, illegal ballots. President Trump and the Georgia Republican Party have filed suit to require all Georgia counties to separate any and all late-arriving ballots from all legally cast ballots to ensure a free, fair election in which only legal, valid ballots count.”

  • Trump claims he won the election

    Around 2 AM EST, Trump addressed the nation and claimed he won the election and insisted that votes stop being counted even though the ballots of millions of Americans had yet to be tallied.

    “Frankly, we did win this election. We’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court.” We want all voting to stop.”

     

    No elected leader has the right to unilaterally order votes to stop being counted, and Mr. Trump’s middle-of-the-night proclamation amounted to a reckless attempt to hijack the electoral process as results in key battleground states were still not final, something without precedent in American politics.
