POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

I see that more and more people on both sides are getting frustrated that this race is not being called yet.

I've seen pictures & reports that European outlets have called it for Biden already, despite the American media saying not yet.

Tough spot for US media. Georgia is doing a recount; Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and N. Carolina are still counting votes. Declaring a winner before all votes are tabulated will seem to add credence to Trump's "Stealing the Election" mantra. If that happens, expect to see more armed Trumpers showing up at places where the counting is being done, like the recent incident in Philly. OTOH, it's giving Trump more time to delay matters further with nonsensical law suits.

Joseph R. Biden will become the 46th President of the United States of America.

However, the shitshow will continue. If the call stands (currently under NFL review), the next level of combat shifts to the electoral college. Uncle Trumpy will call on states with Republican-dominated legislatures to ignore the popular vote, and commit their electoral votes for him. It ain't over yet.....
