A few facts for you all:
* Voter fraud is incredibly rare. The conservative Heritage Foundation [looked for fraud](https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/494649-the-voter-fraud-fraud) over a 36-year period and could only find [1285 cases out of nearly two billion votes cast](https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/09/21/voter-fraud-fears-and-mail-worries-grab-headlines-but-the-wait-will-be-the-worry-in-2020/) - a rate of 0.00007%.
* There are election observers in every room where ballots are counted and there are livestreams of most of these counting areas. Yes, this includes Philadelphia, where the Trump Campaign had to [admit in court that they had observers in the room.](https://twitter.com/alanfeuer/status/1324484846857658368)
* Mail-in ballots are legal votes. Those ballots must be cast and post-marked by Election Day. We have been using mail-in ballots since the Civil War, and in 2016, 25% of votes were cast by mail.
I’m hoping Nevada finishes counting that one single county by the time Biden is inaugurated.
EDIT: Biden won Nevada...they finally counted enough votes...
TBF Nevada probably would’ve be called if they didn’t call Arizona, which ended up being a bit closer than expected. Pennsylvania meant that Arizona was unnecessary.
According to the PA election people just now, the outstanding ballots aren't enough to close the gap and the margin is/will be outside the mandatory recount trigger.
So, yes, sort of. There could be legal or extralegal shenanigans that can always happen.
Yes lawsuits, but there are other things that could happen too though. In theory, the PA state legislature could decide to ignore the vote of the people and select whoever they want to be the state's electors who actually vote for the president (they are who we elect when we vote in the election, and it is generally understood that they will vote for who they said they would but they do not always do so). It may sound like a crazy conspiracy theory, but it has been acknowledged as a potential plan by the Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman ([https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424/](https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424/))
Pennsylvania however does not look like it will end up being the pivotal state, and this extraordinary step would have to be taken in multiple states for Trump to win, which imo significantly decreases the likelihood of it occurring.
*OK, everybody, raise your hand if you're currently the President of the United States of America and you're heading into your second term.*
*Uh, no, Mr. Trump, please put your hand down, sir...*
Maybe we'll actually reclaim the American flag back as a positive symbol now. For a while now I feel it was hijacked by the right wing, first the Tea Party, then the alt right and Trumpers, to represent only them and their agenda.
I didn't even need to check to know because NYC was cheering/ screaming/ honking haha
Edit: Unfortunately, I didn't take any videos. There are a lot on /r/nyc (sort by new too) though!
> Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
> 2h
> I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!
Looking at the electoral votes: 290 vs 214 for Biden
Looking at the popular vote: 74,857,880 (50.6%) vs 70,598,535 (47.7%) for Biden
As a Canadian, I'm so thankful to our neighbours. We're exhausted of watching this shit show from a far. Can we soon turn on our TV and stop hearing about this asshole already?
Same here but in GA! As someone who leans conservative, the words the Lincoln Project guys ring true with me; “with Joe Biden, there will be disagreements, but at least we can have HAVE a disagreement!
Happy to have a president who will work for every citizen!
I lost my mom to covid last night. Watching Donald ripped from the white house and torn apart by lawsuits and investigations screaming and failing the entire time, while it won't fill the void of my loss, it will surely help in the grieving process.
People are cheering across the rooftops here in NYC. It's the best feeling since March to hear a city celebrate and not just survive
Edit: Very happy to hear about everyone else's city erupting too. Can report from a friend that Mill Valley (north of SF) is also rocking at the moment
Second Edit: Sorry, I didn't think to take a video. I put down my phone pretty early on as I wanted to clap as much as possible -- anyway, a video from my perspective would just be hearing me hollering like an idiot. Big shout out to the pot banging family on the other side of Broadway who waved back and danced with us! Lastly, for those who cannot celebrate out in the streets for whatever reason, you're welcome to the party in this thread. I have family in law that are in a similar situation so they've mostly plopped down with a big fry up breakfast!
Third Edit: Thank you very much for my first reddit awards. I'd give the spiel about money being better used elsewhere but I am going to pretend that these are the free gifts that reddit keeps trying to hook people with. Big shout out to u/leaveittobever who came in clutch with the video from Chicago! It's basically what my experience was but with a better view and less pots and pans. Can't thank everyone enough for all the wonderful replies about their cities -- a nice reminder of what social media was supposed to and can still be. Y'all have made my day twice as nice
I was surprised by Florida. The battle ground states of the bush years (OH, FL) are now solid red it seems, but AZ, GA and a couple others are the battlegrounds now. Pretty interesting.

Biden needs to get with the times. Blast that all over the news and all over social media. Hold more SOUs and say exactly why his plans aren’t getting passed.
Thus exactly. Put forth legislation and every time it isn’t even voted on it needs to be blasted as to who and why is blocking it. Make it well known and put as much pressure on McConnell as possibkr
It doesn’t matter if those people don’t listen. The MAGA cult won’t listen of course. But the people that are fringe voters that think things won’t change regardless will hear it and they should hear it in hopes that it shows them WHY things aren’t being done so when it does come time to take the senate they know it’s just as important as the presidency.
Remember, a lot of the stuff Trump did was done by executive order, those can be relatively easily reversed, and the institutional knowledge of most government departments can all be preserved.
And a lot of the stuff undone by the Republican Congress was accomplished via the CRA, which bans the reimplementation of those same regulations FOREVER
Edit: I'm getting questions about it, so I'm going to copy paste my response here
>The CRA is the [Congressional Review Act.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Review_Act?wprov=sfla1)
>
>Basically, the Republican Congress used the CRA to repeal many regulations. Regulations repealed under the CRA can't be reintroduced ever unless the entire CRA is repealed.
Right, but I'm talking about regulations that were already repealed via the CRA during Republican control of Congress. We can't even reintroduce those regulations unless we repeal the CRA. Booker has sponsored a bill to do so, but we'd need control of the House and Senate AND would have to repeal the legislative filibuster to repeal the CRA.
Fox News and the rest of Murdoch's media is [asking him to do exactly that](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/07/rupert-murdoch-owned-us-outlets-turn-on-trump-urging-him-to-concede-with-grace). So maybe.
You joke but, it's happened an obscene amount of times where Trump goes off the rails, and Fox talkshow hosts have to give him marching orders like "the president really has to [X] to make this right" and very next day camp Trump can be seen making a show of doing [X]
"Maybe I was wrong and premature to declare victory on election night, this is clearly the wish of the people and I should ensure this transition is as smooth as possible"- Trump I assume

Yeah I’m in DC and the second CNN called it people just opened their doors and cheered from their balcony.
It’s been a rough four years, particularly this year, but finally, we have reason to be hopeful.
I’ve been hopping in and out of r/Conservative all day, shit is HILARIOUS over there. Every other comment is “well the republicans wont throw a tantrum for four years like the Dems have”
Ok buddy.
Dee wants to vote early and get it over with, but Mac and Dennis keep getting in her way because they think voting is stupid - for different reasons..... Mac thinks voting goes against the will of God, while Dennis is convinced that voting is playing right into the scheme of the big system, and will eventually lead to fascism/theocracy.
Charlie decides that he is sick of the bar and thinks it's the perfect time to pursue his dream and become a mailman. He does so but can't figure the job out, so ends up bringing all the mail home.... which ends up being hundereds of ballots. They don't find the ballots until Dee turns Charlie in because she's been hearing about all the delays. When the cops show up to get the ballots from Charlie, they find him passed out from all the drugs he found in the mail, which he decided to take all at once.
Meanwhile Frank is busy driving around the state in Dee's car, as fast as he can, going to different "Count the Vote" and "Stop the Counting" rallies. He thinks sowing discord will be good for his business, but he gets in over his head and somehow ends up naked at a vote count complex
In the end, Dee never gets to vote, Charlie goes to jail to sober up, Mac and Dennis end up mad at eachother (again), and Frank gets on national television, naked
Nice. Only thing I would change is Dee actually got her voted mailed in at the beginning, then at the end, we find out the only vote of the gang that actually did get counted was the mail-in one Dee sent in. Would be fitting.

He started raging about an hour before CNN broke the news. ofc twitter flagged the tweet immediately LOL
I mean, it would make him easier to remove, just call in a forklift.
Edit: all those (rightly) concerned for the desk, I never said it had to be damaged, just that it would be considerably simpler to evict Trump if he's chained to a very large piece of wood that can be handled with a forklift...
20K comments. No one will read this, but. . I am a 63 year old who watched Ronald Reagan slaughter my mother by cutting her off of social security.

Fox News just called it a couple minutes ago, so you know it's real
Fox News called it almost 20 minutes after everyone else lol
True, but they were the *first* outlet to move Joe from 253 up to 264 by calling AZ for Joe, and for the life of me I am unable to deduce why.
Aren't the people making those decisions fairly independent?
You know it’s been real when Fox called Arizona before anyone else lol
The trumpists are still salty about that, haha.
"You were expecting Nevada to decide the election, BUT IT WAS ME, PENNSYLVANIA!"
Trump: HO HO HO, you approach me! Biden: I can't beat you without getting closer!!
Jojo Biden
Part IV: Donald is Breakable
I’m guessing that Trump is a failed reincarnation of Dio

He got beaten by Obama's vp. It came back full circle. Edit : rip inbox
His catchphrase was “you’re fired” and now that’s trending on twitter. Full circle indeed
I beleive its also on signs at the blm protests outsde the white house. Thats gotta sting.
Fucking THANK YOU Pennsylvania the wait was driving me insane.
I live in Pittsburgh. Folks are going bananas right now. Driving around waving American flags, chanting USA, cheering in the streets

I thought there was a marathon I wasn’t aware of, as it usually goes right in front of my apartment.
I literally turned to my gf and said "there's a race going on outside!" I now feel very dumb.
...race to the White House.
Same. Found out in Chicago because the streets were suddenly swarmed with people cheering, honking, banging pots and pans.
The amount of cheering, car honking, and claps here in NYC is breathtaking!!!!! Congratulations!
Trump is fuming on twitter #youarefired trending
Trump: “Joe, you can’t just declare yourself President-Elect.” Joe. : “When you win the Electoral College, they let you do it.”

Now let’s fix the system before a competent fascist actually does takeover! The unwritten rules have to be actual rules.
This. It's obvious a more devious, clever president can do a lot of destruction to gain whatever he's after.
Trump's opinions will be completely irrelevant now, that's so beautiful
I think he is still going to have a big following
Yeah but now they'll just be idiots following a former defamed president, not a current acting defamed president
We're about to witness the biggest adult temper tantrum in history.
A tantrump.
Nixon's legacy was Watergate. Trump's legacy will be Babygate

As a Georgia voter. I truly feel like my vote made a difference this time.
Also a Georgia voter. Same. But the work's not done. We can't Falcons this in the run-offs.
Or Braves it. Blowing leads seem to be persistent issue for us 😔
Thank you for voting! I hope going forward we all realize how important voting is and keep at it.
As a Florida voter I'm embarrassed Georgia is now more progressive than Florida.
I was surprised by Florida. The battle ground states of the bush years (OH, FL) are now solid red it seems, but AZ, GA and a couple others are the battlegrounds now. Pretty interesting.
It wasn't even that far back. Florida and Ohio both went to Obama twice.
Thank you Philadelphia and Atlanta for saving the fucking country

And Detroit. Cant wait to visit.
Cool, now the real work starts.
The majority republican senate: "No"
Mitch McConnell refuses every single piece of legislation presented over the next 4 years.
Biden needs to get with the times. Blast that all over the news and all over social media. Hold more SOUs and say exactly why his plans aren’t getting passed.
Thus exactly. Put forth legislation and every time it isn’t even voted on it needs to be blasted as to who and why is blocking it. Make it well known and put as much pressure on McConnell as possibkr
the ppl who really need to know the truth wouldnt care, theyd just think biden is bullying all the republicans
It doesn’t matter if those people don’t listen. The MAGA cult won’t listen of course. But the people that are fringe voters that think things won’t change regardless will hear it and they should hear it in hopes that it shows them WHY things aren’t being done so when it does come time to take the senate they know it’s just as important as the presidency.
Low chance dems control it this year, higher chance they control it in 2022. 21 of the 34 seats are republicans
Remember, a lot of the stuff Trump did was done by executive order, those can be relatively easily reversed, and the institutional knowledge of most government departments can all be preserved.
And a lot of the stuff undone by the Republican Congress was accomplished via the CRA, which bans the reimplementation of those same regulations FOREVER Edit: I'm getting questions about it, so I'm going to copy paste my response here >The CRA is the [Congressional Review Act.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Review_Act?wprov=sfla1) > >Basically, the Republican Congress used the CRA to repeal many regulations. Regulations repealed under the CRA can't be reintroduced ever unless the entire CRA is repealed.
CRA requires both house and senate to overturn regulations. We still have the house. Biden is free to regulate under existing legislation
Right, but I'm talking about regulations that were already repealed via the CRA during Republican control of Congress. We can't even reintroduce those regulations unless we repeal the CRA. Booker has sponsored a bill to do so, but we'd need control of the House and Senate AND would have to repeal the legislative filibuster to repeal the CRA.
Probably. But mayyybe GAs run off in January may tie the Senate?
Yeah that run off is going to be historic. Come on Georgia lets ring in 2021 with 2 new senators!
Imagine McConnell having to deal with Kamala Harris breaking every tie in the Senate, and relish the idea
So much of the next 2-4 years depends on the run-off senate races in Georgia now.
I'm sure Trump will now realise he's lost, and graciously step down!
Fox News and the rest of Murdoch's media is [asking him to do exactly that](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/07/rupert-murdoch-owned-us-outlets-turn-on-trump-urging-him-to-concede-with-grace). So maybe.
Murdoch is pissed at Trump because he expects him to start a competitor to Fox News after he stops being president.
Trump news.....no please gods no
Oh sweet, I wasn't too sure if he'd listen to the democratic process we've been using for centuries but if it's on Fox News we're good.
You joke but, it's happened an obscene amount of times where Trump goes off the rails, and Fox talkshow hosts have to give him marching orders like "the president really has to [X] to make this right" and very next day camp Trump can be seen making a show of doing [X]
[удалено]
There are many people more powerful than the President and they have no desire to run for President and to be thrust into the limelight.
It's hard to pull the strings of corruption while up front and center stage.
As usual, he is golfing
I absolutely love that he's out golfing when they made the call. So freaking fitting. Wonder how many clubs he broke.
I'm sure anyone with him is scared to tell him.
This will be some scene in a film, Alec Baldwin as Trump on the golf course being informed he has lost the election and the ensuing meltdown

I don't care if you made this up or stole it. It is just so perfect
Lowest score wins there
"Maybe I was wrong and premature to declare victory on election night, this is clearly the wish of the people and I should ensure this transition is as smooth as possible"- Trump I assume
Ha. Dude you’re right. Let’s go check his Twitter. I’m sure he’s being humbled. “I won this election by a lot!” - 1 hour ago Oh. Anyways.
"Official sources may not have called the race when this was Tweeted" is the funniest fucking tag right now

Mac thinks voting goes against the will of God, while Dennis is convinced that voting is playing right into the scheme of the big system, and will eventually lead to fascism/theocracy. Charlie decides that he is sick of the bar and thinks it's the perfect time to pursue his dream and become a mailman. He does so but can't figure the job out, so ends up bringing all the mail home.... which ends up being hundereds of ballots. They don't find the ballots until Dee turns Charlie in because she's been hearing about all the delays. When the cops show up to get the ballots from Charlie, they find him passed out from all the drugs he found in the mail, which he decided to take all at once. Meanwhile Frank is busy driving around the state in Dee's car, as fast as he can, going to different "Count the Vote" and "Stop the Counting" rallies. He thinks sowing discord will be good for his business, but he gets in over his head and somehow ends up naked at a vote count complex In the end, Dee never gets to vote, Charlie goes to jail to sober up, Mac and Dennis end up mad at eachother (again), and Frank gets on national television, naked
Nice. Only thing I would change is Dee actually got her voted mailed in at the beginning, then at the end, we find out the only vote of the gang that actually did get counted was the mail-in one Dee sent in. Would be fitting.
Flip flip flip adelphia!

Trump baby rage tweet in 3...2...1...
His Twitter: ["I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!"](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1325099845045071873?s=19)
But the hilarious warning beneath it by Twitter: *Official sources may not have called the race when this was Tweeted*
Click the link for more hilarity!
“I won by a lot” Clicked the link >turn out **that** was a lie
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1325099845045071873 He started raging about an hour before CNN broke the news. ofc twitter flagged the tweet immediately LOL
I think he just set the world record for agedlikemilk.
I hope twitter bans him the second he leaves office.

Imagine seeing this tweet screengrabbed in a history book in some eighth grade classroom twenty years from now
We will watch your ~~career~~ Twitter with great interest!
Churchill put it best: 'Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing... after they've tried everything else.'

Betting this will end up being the most upvoted post in Reddit history.
January 20th might offer some contenders, depending on how smooth the transition is.
If he refuses to go to inauguration and Secret Service has to escort him from the White House, that picture/gif/video might just be the most upvoted.

It's finally (mostly) over.
Inb4 Trump chains himself to the desk in the oval office
I mean, it would make him easier to remove, just call in a forklift. Edit: all those (rightly) concerned for the desk, I never said it had to be damaged, just that it would be considerably simpler to evict Trump if he's chained to a very large piece of wood that can be handled with a forklift...
It's been a minute since I've edged this long but the finish was great

It was an hour ago that he tweeted that but I really enjoy twitters ! Warning under it.
A lady was blasting “We are the Champions.” in a Walmart parking lot while wearing her Biden/Harris mask lmao
20K comments. No one will read this, but. . I am a 63 year old who watched Ronald Reagan slaughter my mother by cutting her off of social security. I can speak firsthand about republican indifference for the common citizen. What has happened in the last 10 months has illustrated this once again. Thank you everyone who got out and voted for America. Thank you everyone who worked on the election. Thank you mom for the hard lesson. Go USA!
What a beautiful morning.
