MI and WI probably had lots of fraud, but may be a moot point. NV GA AZ NC PA would deliver a 2nd term to Trump in the EC, easily.
- Google is giving *all* these states to Biden, except NC soft to Trump
- Wikipedia agrees except hasn't called NV, GA, NC at right now
The 'Biden won all of WI, MI, PA' narrative is strong but false.
I suspect Trump has PA after SCOTUS throws out post 8pm ballots, maybe MI.
Probably not WI but that is not certain.
I call Trump at 279 Voats.
What's the weak link in my optimism? GA. I called that as a pain point in 2016 and it has done nothing to allay them.
We shall see what we shall see.
Appointment in Samarra, 12/14.
This election is likely to come down to which parties control which state legislatures, and a SCOTUS assist.
There is more substance to the issues than 2000 Bush v Gore.
Remember Scalia. Eonia i mnimi.
One of NV, MI, WI need to be 'flipped' from the Marxist Scum Media consensus.
Barr is in NV, doubtless looking at Californians maintaining a residence in NV for tax evasion purposes, and committing a double fraud by voting in a state they are only pretend resident in.
My 2016 comment on GA vuln:
'- the remaining bias is ordered north to south. Trump is in trouble in the South and his greatest vulnerabilities are TX, GA, AZ. FL and NC are the tipping point. '
FL was not part of that this year because Cubans.
'Fortunately, in this election gasoline prices are high in the right places (and TX red enough not to matter).'
- the existing media map is largely correct EXCEPT as noted
- GA and AZ will in fact end in the Trump column (likely)
- PA will go to SCOTUS, which will decide for Trump (very likely)
con't
- NC will remain in the Trump column (likely)
- Trump will manage to flip one of NV, MI, WI (likely put puts EC at risk if MI or WI)
- The EC will in fact meet and operate with full information (likely)
- Faithless electors won't bork EC (very likely)
cont
If one of those assumptions fails, then Trump might *possibly* still be elected, but it would take wins in MI or WI after court battles (possible), or else a win in the House of Representatives (likely)
/END
Like Columbo, one last thing:
- progression for Trump from easy to hard *should* be AZ GA (NC) NV PA MI WI
- any 'losses' left of PA are surprising and need 'splainin'
As I've cautioned before, the Benford's Law analysis is *suggestive* of needing an investigation, and is routinely used to back up conclusions -- however, we should be *careful* not to push it too far.
Like stressed and melting beams in an imploding skyscraper, it is just too...
To be clear, in terms of 'prognostication', I consider it 'likely' but not 'almost certain' or 'certain' that Trump will in fact be seated, after legal challenges and an EC vote.
But any prediction about the future is a *Hypothesis* that requires *Evdence* for it, and a plausible train of *Events*.
Remember our notation at this site[1] -- H for hypothesis, E for events, E* for Evidence, all with probabilities attached.
