It was shenanigans I was thinking of, to be honest, but I suppose a genuine legal challenge a la Bush/Gore is not inconceivable, even if it doesn’t seem Trump’s style

*Bangs ahead against wall*

We are talking about *predicting* a result...

Once the election happens obviously the range of possibilities collapses.

Because there has been a measurement and we are no longer predicting.

It does come back to my post yesterday, all Starmer needs to do come 2029 is explain clearly how important ECHR is and you ought to beat Jenrick hands down. But then again, most people have already funeralled the Tory party for their final pair so it's similar rationale I suppose.

If it's v tight in some states, it will take time to count the votes and then there will be inevitable recounts and then legal challenges from both sides.

And Georgia has just passed some stupid laws...

The ECHR thing is purely a brexity immigration wedge thing. We’d have “control of our borders” if it wasn’t for these pesky woke Europeans. The same gammony crowd will lap it up, we just have to hope they are a dying breed.

Got to LOL at the vain hope that Starmer will actual stand up firmly for the ECHR. He’s not stood up for much other than suit fittings recently.

US election POLL

One) the number of electoral college votes Democrats will get, note 270 is the winning line, 269 is a tie, which is possible.

Two) which party will win the Senate (either Democrat or Republican)

Three) which party will the the House (either Democrat or Republican)

Do the prediction like this: 312 D D

(So this example would be Democrats to win the electoral college, they win the Senate and they win the house).

My prediction:

276 R D

(So I'm predicting a narrow Harris win, with the Republicans winning the Senate and Dems with the House).

I'm basically using second two as tie breakers. So don't go exactly the same as someone else, even if you believe that won't be the result please?

Ok predictions are open!!!!!

S'not a poll!
