When I started it a while back I fully expected it to be closed by election day. But SoxTalk continues to be one of the best sites to visit with a bunch of great folks having (for the most part) courteous conversations. The few times I woke up last night, I went right to this page to see if there were any updates. I certainly appreciate those who have been relaying what they've heard. I went to bed last night certain that 2016 was repeating. Now it seems like Biden has a more clear path to winning. We won't know for a couple days, I'm sure, but we may have a better idea by later today or tomorrow. Regardless, this is an historic election. If there wasn't so much on the line, it could be more enjoyable to watch. Fess up here, how many times did you wake up? Your buds at SoxTalk gotta know. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just shows how 1) Out of touch establishment Dems are 2) Effective yelling "COMMUNIST" at someone is, when the policies those same people are pushing are incredibly popular.

pettie4sox Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I think once the election is called this thread will get locked but I am surprisingly impressed as the decorum so far. I think there are a few troll poster who stir things up and then everything descends into chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll open the 'Buster back up at some point, we'll see. I would take a wager it depends on who gets elected whether the buster gets opened again. Huge money.

The states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan weren't allowed to count their mail-in ballots until election day. Why? Because their Republican legislatures made the rules and said they couldn't. If those states were able to count the absentee ballots early like Florida, you wouldn't have to wait this long to count the votes and there wouldn't be any controversy over the legitimacy of absentee ballots. This is Republicans creating a problem and then trying to cry fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. All of us, Rs, Ds, and Ind proved that we can't really operate in good faith. Mods and Admins get accused of being partisan and ignoring some problems and firing up others, posters twist words and troll. while this event thread has been fairly mild compared to the expectations, I really wouldn't want to be babysitting another Buster anytime soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Another thing to keep in mind, the USPS is still sitting on tons of ballots. Most of those most likely are for Biden and many will never be counted. More voter suppression. It is really sickening. Can't wait for the eviction notice at the WH.

"Trump voters are scared" is way to simple an answer. I think that 8% Biden National lead has a very good chance of translating to an accurate popular vote lead and a comparable House of Representatives win. That the electoral college and senate are so close is a testament to how undemocratic they have become as populations have moved and as efforts to suppress minority votes have become more effective.
