    Anyone see anything online about voting discrepancies anywhere? I'm still finding it hard to believe the polls were that far off and wouldn't be surprised if there was ballot stuffing in a lot of out of the way counties where it wouldn't be noticed much. Just noting how much of the GOP turnout came on Election Day, yet there didn't seem to be many problems getting them all through the polls.

    I suspect right now that Biden's lead in Georgia will not be big enough to avoid a recount big enough to make it a formality.

    Al Franken's recount ended up netting him about 600 votes out of 2.8 million cast. The equivalent in Georgia would be about 12k votes. I suspect he'll lead by at least 5k.

    If a state ended up in an actual, literal tie for president, each state would have its own rules for deciding the winner, and the winner would get the EVs.

    Pete Duel was an underrated actor, for the record.

    Since it's Spew Crap You Can't Back Up Night - just throwing it out there. Trump had 114,000 more votes in Oregon than he did four years ago. A more than 10 percent spike. I just don't recall reading anything about the Trump campaign's ground game other than truck caravans, his rallies and boat parades.

    My experience in an "out of the way county" is the little old ladies running the counting would sniff that shit out before you were out of the room.

    Man - that is one harsh story if you've never heard it.

    I don't know any story.

    I liked Alias Smith and Jones.

    You're still an idiot.
