Georgia Secretary Of State Says Absentee Ballots, Early Votes Still Being Counted | MSNBC

    1. @Amit Patel 49.4% tied in Georgia now! About to flip! CNN hasn’t called Arizona yet but it’s only a matter of time!
      253 + Georgia 16 would bring Joe to 269!

    1. Several cities in key battleground states earned a low ballot processing score. Cities in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan were among those with scores below 80%.

      Trump, where are the remaining 300,000 lost mail in ballots?

    2. Letting every vote that arrives before the mail deadline also tends to be the legitimate, proper thing to do. Otherwise, you’re discounting legitimate votes.

      The fact that Trump doesn’t want that to happen is pretty jawdropping. I’ve been an election worker here in Norway. Discarding legitimate votes is literally voter fraud.

    3. After citizens being allowed to vote at all, counting every vote is the absolute basic, minumum low bar of entry to _start_ qualifying for “democracy”. It’s not exactly a big feat (beyond being a lot of work of course).

      Even just _thinking_ of not counting eligble, valid, legally sound votes, is like the one written warning before getting “kicked out” of the democracy house. Having a national leader calling for stopping the count, and appealing to the courts to enable that… Welcome to autocracy, America. It’s official now – your President is an autocratic dictator.

    1. @Tom Miller So is Trump and his family. His family is using his presidency to gain more power and money. Even Ivanka making money off of China with her businesses.

    2. Where have you been? I haven’t trusted them since nixon. When they installed trump and went full fascist i moved on to loathing them.

    1. Looks like Biden is being held accountable for the last 50 years of contributing to systemic racism and filling up the prisons with black men with his 94 crime bill. Anyone but Biden.

    2. @C C How are Trump supporters lying “unfathomable”? When the polls become as politicized as they have been the past few years, you start seeing incentives to lie on the polls.

    3. @Uniqwia B Biden does yes. He wrote the 94 crime bill that filled our jails up with black men. Kamala said he’s a racist and I believe her.

  1. Our people are all around the world protecting our rights
    The President of the United States of America is doing more harm to the American way than Putin

    1. @Nikka Nissa Lopez
      Sure.
      The US definitivly deserves a state bankruptcy after this vote.
      Anyway if Trump is reelected or not.
      Voting must have consequences.

    2. I have a ?If Biden loses can he ask for a recount because it seems to me tRump will do it in a heartbeat.stay safe.😷✌

    3. @Penny Sutch goodness knows. I’m so proud of America. And this guy needs help. You have a great attitude. Be safe.💯🇺🇲😷=😷⚖👍

  2. Does anyone ha e an update on the court order for USPS locating 300,000 missing ballots in key states?? And how is it that Barr says Dejoy will not be complying?

  3. “Winning” or “losing” any election, whether local, state or federal office, ultimately is a “win” for America when the will of all voters is allowed to determine our Republic’s future, to create a ‘more perfect union’ and in doing so reaffirm the supremacy of our Constitution over politics and ideology.

  4. Please let’s not get something wrong. The Democrats do not need to start hand-wringing, blaming, feeling guilty and ashamed or profusely apologizing. If Biden maintains both his Electoral College as well as popular vote leads he wins the 2020 Presidential election. But remember, this is not just any election. This wasn’t a battle; this was war. There have been many, many casualties, albeit nontraditional ones, from murders (Kenosha/Portland/Tacoma) to how many needless COVID-19 deaths, disabilities and infections? Former VP Biden will have defeated arguably the greatest single risk our democracy may have ever faced, certainly in generations. If Biden wins he will have legally defeated an incumbent President who was using all legal and illegal powers at his disposal in his attempt to defeat his challenger no matter the costs – yet still fails.
    Biden and this country, no matter how narrowly, will have conquered a man and his far too many coconspirator sycophants who have used every trick in libraries of books. To name just a few, this administration has tried to divert, depress, divide and conquer using: overt racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, Anti-Semitism, anti science, facts and reality, gaslighting, psychological manipulation, pervasive social media propaganda and misinformation campaigns with tens of thousands of lies, virtually unlimited campaign donations, law enforcement and white supremacist militias, USPS delivery slowdowns (USPS failed to deliver 27 percent of mail-in ballots in South Florida), hundreds of court challenges to election processes and voting rights as well as the overt solicitation of and assistance from foreign governments all while undermining the very legitimacy of democratic institutions: voters, voting and elections, finance campaign laws, peaceful transfers of power even political and social norms… What about the President’s blatant disregard for our Constitution, laws and values? Democrats up and down the ballot have done extraordinarily well in the face of such a ruthless, endless onslaught.
    If on January 20, 2020 Biden becomes the President, he and every single voter who was lucky enough to cast a ballot and have that vote counted (for any candidate) will have won by a larger margin than we can possibly fathom but historians, teacher and students hopefully will ponder these events for a very long time. We will have saved our democracy; saved vital, treasured although worn intuitions. Still, we must remain vigilant; we have our work cut out for us. Perhaps someday soon we will come together and celebrate, and even grieve, surviving. Regardless – It’s victory.

    1. It’s crazy how ones own opinion on the happenings can be seen as exactly the same way for each side. I just hope regardless of who wins, the citizens of this country hold themselves to a standard that the people in DC do not.

  5. If 70% of absentee ballots are Democrat, Joe can win Ga, if they are all counted.
    Joe Biden has more votes as of now than any presidential candidate in history.

    1. A federal judge has just ordered a hearing at noon to address ballots being held in postal facilities after he ordered that the USPS locate and scan all ballots as a priority by Election Day. Georgia is one of those states as are other key states that did not comply. DeJoy needs to be held accountable.

    2. There’s over 300,000 missing ballots, and some of them are from Georgia and the others are from the other battle ground state’s. Arrest Trump, DeJoy and the other Republicans that are a part of this fraudulent band of criminals now.

    3. @Mary Emanuel The US constitution has no means to mitigate such fraud. If they can stop the ballots from being counted, they don’t count and Trump wins. It’s unfair and wrong, even illegal, but that’s what’s going to happen. And DeJoy is not going to get prosecuted under Trump…

    1. To create the illusion of a Trump victory early, so he can claim anything counted that makes him a loser is a scam. Coming from the biggest scam artist in history.

    2. @Mr NOTME People should get in to street and Protect Democracy of USA! If it was in France they would have done it! Next Drumpf will send his Goon gangs with Guns!

  6. That’s it, key “word” STATE LAWS, because the federal government cannot dictate or interfere with states affairs, such drivers license requirements and design, state IDs, state tax, to include ELECTION’S procedures. Hence continue the count with no outside influence or intimidation.

    1. That’s because he is lying, he already knows that over 300,000 ballots are missing and some of them were Georgia voters. Arrest Trump, DeJoy and all the Republicans that are a part of the rigging of the election.

  7. That move trump pull with the hire of Louis Dejoy,Decoy, playing a part now.Remember he removed a boat load of machines…

    1. Dejoy also has conflicting interests holding large amounts of stock in 1 or 2 private carriers. FedEx and possibly UPS. I know FedEx has a contract transporting 🇺🇸 mail from Youngstown area to Harrisburg.

    2. Not to mention all those fake drop boxes that the Republicans setup all over the place. Let’s not forget that.

  8. Does our country had to think about this is unconscionable. This man is racist, sexist, misogynistic, authoritarian, socialist, fascist. And you all had to think about it? Really? It couldn’t be more obvious and you want this man The Hub control for four more years? I just don’t understand

    1. Biden is the only “racist” and corrupt candidate running for President. Please do your research. Biden’s Crime Bill directed towards “super predators” which he coined the phrase for black males. Not Trump. Biden is also one of the most corrupt politicians out there (and there are a lot) taking bribe money from Communist China, funneled through his corrupt son Hunter with emails and former business associates to prove the payout. Biden also used his position as VP of the US to take tax payers money threatening to withhold from Ukraine until they fired the attorney investigating his corrupt son (quid pro quo). By the way, Hunter was making $50K/month while just sitting on a corrupt Ukrainian Gas Company board that his dear ole’ Dad put him in the position. Please don’t make blanket statements about Trump being a racist when you have no facts to back up your claims.

  9. The same people who assured us for four years that there was massive Russian fraud and interference in our elections now insist with a straight face that any fraud or interference in our election is absolutely impossible
