US Election
Re: US Election
Nate Cohn is currently giving Warnock and Ossoff 94 and 95% chances of winning their senate seats. It looks as though Biden will get his senate majority.
Re: US Election
And something called Decision Desk HQ has called it for Warnock.

Yes, just waiting for the final DeKalb county votes to be counted. Which are mostly Democrat.

Re: US Election
They are, as the name suggests, a decision desk, their job is to project the winner, I believe their business model is to then sell their predictions to smaller media outlets who can't afford to run their own d-desk. They got the general 100% on, and called Pennsylvania over 24 hours before everyone else did.
Meanwhile, Dave Wasserman, who is good at this sort of thing, has seen enough in both races. Looking good for the Democrats.

Re: US Election
No, Trump is trying to do that, but he's failing. In actual corrupt backwater hellholes, you see things like all the opposition candidates arrested for taking part in a primary.Herainestold wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 3:35 pmUS democracy is devolving into the kind of farce usually associated with corrupt backwater hell holes.

Re: US Election
That West Virginia senator is feeling pretty good right now. He's the tipping point vote who blocks anything radical.

I shall now visit the racistDonaldTrump twitter feed to see if he's taking it in a dignified way.

Re: US Election
For me, the moments that really stand out are:
Ossoff v Perdue - Ossoff's "It's not just that you're a crook, senator" moment in the first debate that left Perdue too chicken to even attend the second.
Warnock v Loeffler - That Warnock ad. The one with the puppy. The one that was perfectly designed to draw the sting from all the inevitable dog-whistle racism that he was subjected to. Might be one of the most important political ads in decades.

Re: US Election
And the NYT has called it for Warnock.

I don't think Minority Leader McConnell is going to have a happy day today. His favourite hobby of not allowing any votes is going to be spooked.

Re: US Election
As has ABC.
Decision Desk has called it for Ossoff, too, I expect the others will follow in time.
Re: US Election
Wait, is Ossoff eligible? He looks only 14 years old.

Re: US Election
He claims to be 33. Hmm.
Will be youngest senator since someone called Joseph R Biden. Wonder what happened to that guy.

Re: US Election
Of course he's eligible, he worked his Ossoff for this.

Re: US Election
Fox call it for Warnock also. That race is over, bar the sixty doomed frivolous lolsuits.
Re: US Election
Oh dear, the Proud Boys had a fight with the cops in DC.
Apparently the cops are the baddies now and the fascists no longer back the blue.
Its going to be a hell of a day.

Re: US Election
With the Warnock win called, and an Ossoff win looking increasingly likely, let the bells ring out and the message be spread that Donald J Trump handed the title of Senate Majority Leader to Chuck Schumer.

What did Italy do? Nothing obviously, but something about hacking seems to have been dug up from a month ago.
