Joe declaring the nation healed like his faux election is the cure for all ailments is a weird flex.

I don't buy the whole guilt by association thing. They were judges. They were asked to do a job. They did it, and I believe justice was served in that case. The fact that Bush did the asking doesn't automatically mean they're part of some neocon conspiracy.

It's almost as if reporting the truth is something people like.

Nate Silver is so perfectly wrong so often that if he just said the opposite of what he truly thought he'd be lifted up as an ingenious oracle.

Let's do some math, pedes. If we're talking apples to apples here (humans counting paper...)

100,000 ballots in two hours is about 833 ballots per minute. Even if they had 100 people counting, that's an average of over 8 ballots per minute per person.

That means that all 100 of those hypothetical workers would have 7 seconds to look at every ballot if they worked nonstop for 2 hours straight.

Right.

I'm not worried and while my family has been stressing, I've kept them in the loop so they don't think things are hopeless.

I think he has a lot of good content, but when I started watching this one and he said he thinks fraud constitutes almost nothing I turned it off. Seems like he has his head in the sand on this one.

This is so sweet. Texan born and raised and the idea that it would go blue is absurd. Exploiting the vulnerable... twisted!

It's so freakin' stupid. I work with databases every day in my job. Tabulating votes from a programmatic standpoint has got to be about the simplest logic:

If box 1, +1 to trump. If box 2, +1 to biden. I'm sure there are levels of complexity when it comes to downballot stuff and tracking counties, identities, etc., but this is no "glitch". The database didn't just go "woopsie".

A highschooler in a C++ class could develop logic more or less equivalent to what these voting machines are doing. (Correction: SHOULD BE DOING)

They should get a warrant to look at the code. There is some function somewhere that they can call to do mass inserts or mass updates to create or flip votes.

There should be a mandate to publicize the code being used to count the votes. Doing so would be the equivalent of allowing programming poll watchers.

I'm not familiar with Chinese, but might have similar origins... In Japanese, "shi" (said "she") means "death".

The number four in Japanese is shi, and the number seven is shichi. I don't know all of the details, but "yon" is another word for four that is often used rather than "shi" and "nana" is often used rather than "shichi". I think yon and nana are favored at least in part because of shi and shichi's association with death.

Why is Arizona stuck at 88% tabulated on Google? When will they resume counting?

Can someone link me to the wagon carrying the ballots video? I want to save it!
