I literally can't do that because as a result of the court orders the PA SOS isn't allowed to report the segregated count , just like they can't report the numbers associated with other provisional ballots. They can count the ballots internally, but such numbers are segregated from the official count and get added later (if at all). I can say that Republican observers and lawyers on the ground in PA confirm that the…

> PA SOS isn't allowed to report the segregated count The court order does not say that. Why lie? Furthermore the SCOTUS order was required because the districts felt like they didn't have to comply with the state level order so even if your interpretation is correct you don't know how many of the counted ballots should have been segregated and not counted towards the official count in the first place.

If people agree it was tumultuous why was the race still so close? I really think adding little adjectives like that undermines the respectedness of the NYT

Of six elections (including this one) since 2000, at least 3 and possibly 4 (votes are still being counted) were closer in popular vote, and 3 were closer in electoral vote (based on what has been called so far, regardless of how the uncalled states go. But it was particularly actively contested, with both high turnout and…

It was incredibly close, so close that we waited for days to figure out who's going to win. Biden has ~50.6%, if that's not close I don't know what is. The fact some previous was closer, doesn't mean this one wasn't close, not sure how we even need to point this out on a site like hackernews.

Ah, Project Veritas, an organization whose founder has been convicted of fraud and who has a history of falsying and modifying evidence. Fox News and One America refused to air these videos because they couldn't track down any of these supposed whistleblowers and in fact, Fox News said they couldn't find any proof that these supposed postal workers even exist. Also, you do know that the USPS Postmaster is a huge Trum…
