didn't you know, American Presidencies are bought, they generally go to the one with the biggest balance - it has been like that for years

Clive Palmer has proved it can work here as well

So there is a link between Trump supporters and One Nation/Palmer

The link is anti-establishment, but most who cry foul of the system are supported heavily by the system. Harsh world.

Thankfully Pauline and Clive are stuck in FNQ, they would get no where in other states, witht he exception of perhaps WA but I think Clive has burnt that bridge too...LOL

And not the last

It tells you about their personality traits, and gives a hint to their possible psychological profile.

Laugh in ignorance ?

It came down to a close call and that is what happens did you not know that is a fact.

Fact is when in Australia when one does not vote and a Party wins by a lot, they do not go chase you up for not voting but if it's close then they would go out chasing up. because that's the system !
If one Party clearly wins they put it all to bed directly because it's been clearly declared won, but if it's close then they have to go and deal with all such things as they have to, because then such legal systems is then set in place

No one can truly declare won in a close vote until the system proves so. so then you have to wait for the out come. their is a lawful system that is in place you know.
What the media may claim does not mean a cracker.
The media is not bound to have any responsibility in regards for stating the truth at all.
The media is just like a whore no morals at all and is out chasing money and trying to make it's self look good to simple minded fools who look up to such filth idolising such rubbish.

You know Trump may not win, but that's not the point in fact, it's the system of Law that kicks in, that's the reality of a close call.

Anyone making claims of Trump is not going to leave if he loses is just childish ignorance, but you see this type of dribble make the News.

sometimes when the counting is underway you just know who the winner is, it is pretty obvious. Antony Green (Aus ABC) is rarely wrong or very far away from being spot on and he is a political commentator, I am not referencing his USA predictions, but just him as an example. There are some in the media who spend every waking hours following this stuff so they know more than me, you and just about everyone else on this forum and dare I say it, even some in politics

Back read my posts so that you understand a little of how their system works, and each State has a different system to the one next-door, we are lucky ours are all done the same, however over there it is very different, it is a State by State count for a Federal election, that only happens here with our Senate

They may have a list of 2 to ??? things to vote for on one ballot paper, they could be voting for:
* the President
* the Senate
* their local police chief
* their local mayor
all on the one ballot sheet. I spent 7 hours with an American last Thursday, she gave me a very good insight into how their system works

If people are basing their predictions on their system being the same as ours then you are going to be way off

which is why I laugh when people yell fraud in relation to the Democrats (potentially) winning the Presidency and yet are happy to accept the result as being correct for the Republicans to (potentially) win the majority Senate seats. If fraud is fraud, then fraud is fraud, it is all on the same ballot sheet

They really need to fix the voting system over there. No voter ID is just staggering.

Can put money on the dems not touching it though. They are the ones who benefit from it the most. Every election it's the same thing. Always dodgy results and shady votes.

Fix it so it doesn't happen again. Or forever have the same thing happen every election.

really, it is not that hard to be shonky here, 2 things, say you are someone your not of similar age or just take the papers, not fill them in and put them in the ballot box

We have been doing postal voting for years with no issue, hell we only did it recently with our local council voting

No, I meant Mr Emhoff - who so far seems (comparatively!) unsettlingly normal. For perspective, similar age, neighbourhood and pedigree to the Beastie Boys.

That wasn’t in response to any of the points I made. They didn’t address the post you responded to either, it was just random stuff. I’m not making the claim that all of the allegations will prove to be legitimate fraud. I think there are heightened concerns and people will report anything that seems suspicious. I think some of the anecdotal evidence is concerning. I have heard some Democrats argue on these opinion shows, there is inevitable voter fraud, but claim it was insufficient to make a difference in the outcome. That may be so, but that’s the whole point of looking to see and make sure, isn’t it? Just because I voted for Trump and think he is better than Biden doesn’t mean I’m some tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. I’m not going to go out and burn down buildings in protest if he legitimately loses. But I do want to make sure the results are real and reflect what the people want. There’s a lot of money that funds these elections, you really think there’s no fraud? There’s corruption in just about everything except the election system? That just happens to be perfect, does it? We will see what happens.

Don't hold your breath. His defence team can't even spell.....




Some of the suits filed on Trump's behalf appear to be hastily thrown together, with spelling errors ("ballet" for "ballot"), procedural mistakes and little to back up their claims. Judges have been skeptical.

In Michigan, Judge Cynthia Stephens dismissed one filing as "inadmissible hearsay within hearsay." When Trump's lawyers appealed, the next court kicked the filing back as "defective."

The campaign has so far scored just one small victory, allowing their observers to stand a little closer to election workers processing the mail-in ballots in Philadelphia. But the litigation keeps coming, usually centered on accusations from partisan poll watchers, who have no auditing role in the election, that something untoward may have happened, without evidence to back it up.

Either way, experts doubt the suits can reverse the outcome in a single state, let alone the election. Trump aides and allies have privately admitted as much, suggesting the challenges are designed more to stoke his base.
