Gosh, Who'd have thought that the polls would be wrong. They were so accurate in 2016...

I think we all knew Trump would be there or there abouts. Interesting that he got the Cuban vote in Florida given his stance on immigration.

The Cuban population tend to go to the right. There was a reason they wanted to get away from the communists

I know, but the Democrats are a long way from Castro! In fact, Trump probably has more in common with him!

Even though you knew it was coming, it was still kind of shocking to see him standing there talking about fraud and how they’ve already won.

I guess in electoral systems where you really only get to chose from 2 sides and so many people who will vote for a donkey as long as they wear the correct rosette it is a pretty damning indictment on "democracy".

I would be incredulous at the stupidity of half the US electorate but 43% f ours voted for de Pfeffel so....

Not sure if that is true but even if it was, that is like saying the Monster Raving Loony Party could win over here because they are on the ballot.

Probably not surprising, but an interesting graphic on the BBC website.

At least it’s not going to be the landslide it was in 2016. Biden is still in front and could win the vote. We’ll have to wait and see if that’ll actually mean anything

Wow... that speech where he's decided he's won so they should just stop counting votes now.

Incredible stuff.

Haven’t seen that. Has to be Trump of course.

Exciting, means the riots will begin soon.

Ok...

Ok...

For voters who didn't think Trump or Biden were old enough.

It's because he prevented mail in ballots from being counted in swing states until after the polls had closed....

Staggering stuff this morning...

You’d say barely believable but with the world today, is anything really a surprise anymore...

Worth noting that mail in ballots will likely be sent by people who are aware that coronavirus is a real thing - so less likely to be trump cult members.

There are a lot of mail in votes on the table due to the pandemic.
