Joe Biden Wins Wisconsin as the Trump Campaign Calls for a Recount

By Townhall. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has won the state of Wisconsin, further adding to his Electoral College lead and narrowing President Trump’s chances of being reelected.

Trump Won Highest Share of Non-White Vote of Any Republican Since 1960

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump has won the highest share of non-white voters of any Republican presidential candidate since 1960, according to preliminary results from Tuesday’s election.

Roughly one quarter of non-white voters cast their ballots for Trump, according to an Edison exit poll. If the poll is an accurate reflection of final results, Trump will have won over more non-white voters than any Republican since Richard Nixon, who won 32 percent of the non-white vote in 1960 but lost to John F. Kennedy. Trump will also have improved on his performance in the 2016 election when he won 21 percent of the non-white vote.

. . . 18 percent of black men voted for Trump in 2020 compared with 13 percent in 2016, and black women increased support for Trump from 4 percent in 2016 to 8 percent in 2020. . . It appears that support among Latinos buoyed Trump victories in several key counties in the Sun Belt. Trump was able to score a win in Zapata County, Texas, by 52-to-47 percent over Joe Biden. The county’s population is 94.7 percent Hispanic, and elected Hillary Clinton over Trump in 2016 by 65-32 percent.

Biden Launches ‘Transition Team’ Website

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Wednesday launched a “transition team” website after securing projected wins in several key battleground states.

The website, which currently consists of just a landing page, says that the “American people will determine who will serve as the next President of the United States.”

“Votes are still being counted in several states around the country. The crises facing the country are severe — from a pandemic to an economic recession, climate change to racial injustice — and the transition team will continue preparing at full speed so that the Biden-Harris administration can hit the ground running on Day One,” the site adds.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is assembling an “all-star” legal team to spearhead legal challenges in battleground states such as Michigan, according to a Wednesday report.

Just The News’ John Solomon reports:

Among the lawyers the president is activating include his private attorney Jay Sekulow, who will help campaign lawyers with matters before the Supreme Court as well as former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, officials said.

Sidney Powell, the lawyer for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, may also be called upon, officials said.

The report comes hours after the Trump campaign filed lawsuits to halt vote counts in Michigan and Pennsylvania, another key battleground state. (Read more from “Report: Trump Campaign Assembling ‘All-Star’ Legal Team” HERE)

Team Trump Predicts Reelection by Friday

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump’s team has a message for Joe Biden: Not so fast.

With Biden poised to suggest he won the election despite millions of votes set to be counted, the Trump campaign Wednesday afternoon said that its data shows that it will cross the needed 270 electoral votes by Friday, securing a second term and robbing the Democrat of a victory virtually every media pollster gave to Biden.

“By the end of this week, it will be clear to the entire nation that President Trump and Vice President Pence will be elected for another four years,” said campaign adviser Jason Miller.

In a call to talk numbers, the campaign said that its data operation believes it will get the votes needed to win in Pennsylvania and Arizona, and, when added to the expected Georgia and North Carolina wins, a second term will be assured. . .

“Over these next couple of days, as these ballots come in and are counted in the state of Arizona, that we could be looking at, potentially as soon as Friday, President Trump being declared the winner or it being clear that he has enough votes to formally say he will win the state of Arizona,” said Miller.

Trump Campaign Files Suit in Michigan, Pennsylvania

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. The Trump campaign on Wednesday said it has filed a lawsuit in Michigan demanding that the counting of ballots there immediately cease.

“As votes in Michigan continue to be counted, the presidential race in the state remains extremely tight as we always knew it would be,” said Bill Stepien, Trump 2020 campaign manager.

“President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law. We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted,” he said in a statement.

Trump Campaign Says It’s Suing to Stop Pennsylvania’s Vote Count Over Lack of ‘Transparency’

By CBS News. President Donald Trump’s campaign has filed lawsuits to stop the counting of mail-in votes in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. They argue they’re not being given proper access to watch what’s happening.

In Pennsylvania, with 85% of the vote counted, Trump has a 320,000-vote lead.

His campaign has declared victory in the state, saying the math is not there for Joe Biden to win Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia’s mail-in ballots are being opened and scanned inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City. It’s a process with no firm time for when it will end.

About 10,000 ballots are being counted every hour at the convention center. Workers won’t stop until the job is finished. (Read more from “Trump Campaign Says It’s Suing to Stop Pennsylvania’s Vote Count Over Lack of ‘Transparency’” HERE)

Biden Advisor Claims Victory; President Trump Also Declares Victory (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Early Wednesday morning, President Trump declared victory in the presidential election. But also on Wednesday, an advisor for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden acted in the same fashion, claiming at a press briefing Biden had won the presidency.

Former White House counsel and current Biden campaign adviser Bob Bauer boasted, “We’re winning the election; we’ve won the election and we’re going to defend that election.” He also stated, “We’re going to defend this vote; the vote by which Joe Biden has been elected to the presidency.”

Ironically, prior to Bauer’s claim, as Axios noted, he and Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon bashed President Trump for claiming he had won the election. Bauer stated of President Trump:

He had apparently huddled with his advisors and analysts and he realized that what Jen said was true, and hustled out to say that he needed the vote count stopped because he knew where it was going to lead. Now what he said yesterday was extraordinary but I think, entirely consistent with Republican attacks on the voting process, and I’d like to take you through a few points of where the Republicans have been, where they’re going, and why they’re going to fail.

Trump Prematurely Declares Victory, Says He’ll Go to Supreme Court

By The Hill. President Trump early Wednesday declared victory in the presidential race against Democratic nominee Joe Biden even as millions of votes were still being counted across multiple states and the president said he would be going to the Supreme Court in an attempt to stop ballot counting.

Trump asserted that he had won states like Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan despite there still being tens of thousands of ballots still outstanding.

No media outlet has called a winner in those states, no election officials have declared a winner and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden may still overtake Trump on the strength of mail ballots that are still being counted in Michigan and Wisconsin.

“This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said in remarks from the East Room of the White House.

President Trump Should Be Declared the Winner, but Establishment Is Trying to Steal the Vote; Watch His Post-Election Speech

National Guard Brought in to Help With Wisconsin Ballot Counting Issue

By Fox News. Poll workers in two Wisconsin counties — with the help of at least 20 National Guards members — will have to transcribe votes from at least 13,500 misprinted absentee ballots to clean ballots, possibly delaying reporting of results.

The state Supreme Court refused to issue a ruling on the ballots at issue, which cannot be fed into electronic tabulating machines, and instead told Outagamie and Calumet counties to use the statutorily prescribed method of ballot duplication for counting ballots of this nature.

“The duplication process will take additional time, so the public should be aware that election results will be delayed,” Outagamie County Clerk Lori O’Bright said in a statement. “They will be posted as soon as possible.” (Read more from “National Guard Brought in to Help With Wisconsin Ballot Counting Issue” HERE)

Mysterious Burst Pipe Stops Ballot Counting in Atlanta — Perhaps to Give Time for Ballot Fabrication?

By JACQUELINE FELDSCHER. Election results for the Georgia county that includes the vast majority of Atlanta will be delayed because a pipe burst in a room where absentee ballots were being counted, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported Tuesday.

A delay in processing absentee votes in Fulton, Georgia’s largest county, will affect how quickly statewide results can be reported in a tightly contested state that could help decide the presidency. . .

Officials had hoped to count three-quarters of ballots by between 10 and 11 p.m., but the pipe burst is likely to make that impossible.

The county may not be able to fully report results until Friday, elections board member Mark Wingate told the newspaper. (Read more about this story HERE)

Election-Related Legal Wrangling Underway in Pennsylvania, Nevada

By Politico. Last-minute legal jockeying over Tuesday’s election led Democrats to head off a GOP effort to halt vote-counting in Nevada’s most populous county, while Republicans in Pennsylvania filed two lawsuits seeking to block counting of some absentee votes in the state.

The Nevada Supreme Court rejected a bid by President Donald Trump’s campaign to block the tallying of votes in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas and accounts for more than two-thirds of the state’s population. . .

Republicans in Pennsylvania, meanwhile, filed a suit seeking to block election officials from counting provisional ballots submitted by voters whose absentee ballots were disqualified.

Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, issued guidance to counties last month saying that voters whose mail-in or absentee ballots were rejected could still obtain a provisional ballot on Election Day and vote that way.

Philadelphia Has Stopped Counting Mail-in Votes; May Take Days to Fabricate Ballots for Biden

By CNBC. Election results from Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania could take until later this week to complete official tallies, according to officials.

The three states represent a combined 46 electoral votes, with 16 from Michigan, 20 from Pennsylvania and 10 from Wisconsin. That’s nearly a fifth of the required 270 electoral votes for a victory.

Georgia and North Carolina, which both were too close to call just after midnight Wednesday, also are likely to take some more time as more ballots come in. Georgia has 16 electoral votes, and North Carolina has 15. . .

Officials in Michigan and Wisconsin have also said it will take extra time to count all of their ballots. Michigan officials believe they need 24 more hours to tally votes, MSNBC reported late Tuesday.

Election Betting Odds Shift in Favor of President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Election betting odds are shifting in favor of President Donald Trump as Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is underperforming in several key battleground states that political polling projected him to win.

As of 11:30 p.m. ET, European sportsbook Betfair gave Trump -156 odds to win the U.S. presidential election, a 60.6% chance. Biden is at +152 odds, a 39.4% chance to win.

“It appears the betting market may have overreacted to what appears will be a convincing Trump victory in the state of Florida. Betting odds are starting to shift back to former Vice President Joe Biden, though he far from the favorite he was earlier on Election Day,” Action Network reported late Tuesday.

The odds for Trump have improved significantly since Monday evening, when Biden was given a two-thirds chance to beat Trump at 11:30 p.m. that day.

As of publishing time, Trump is projected to win the key battleground states of Florida and Ohio and is leading in the vote counts for Georgia and North Carolina. Fox News projected that Biden will win Arizona. (Read more from “Election Betting Odds Shift in Favor of President Trump” HERE)

If Joe Biden Is Dragged Over the Finish Line, Democrats Will Quickly Drop Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s an extremely mean and (consequently) extremely funny video, “Weekend at Biden’s,” in which the propped-up, lifeless form of Joe Biden gets dragged out of his basement and pulled from event to event by two young woke activists.

“How long do we have to keep this up?” one asks the other, exhausted. “November 3,” says the other.

Relax, young woke-tivists: You carried Joe to Nov. 3, and according to most pollsters, a thundering victory awaits you. If Biden concludes his inaugural address with the memorable words, “Now can I go back to my basement and watch ‘Matlock’?,” everyone around him will be happy to oblige. . .

No matter what Biden does to steer the country to the left, the media will be daydreaming about how Kamala Harris would lean so much harder on the tiller. Suddenly, Biden’s brain freezes and mangled sentences will no longer be innocent “gaffes” but signs of incipient dementia. Doesn’t the 25th Amendment call for the president’s removal if he can’t cut it anymore? Maybe Biden, having achieved his life’s goal, should quickly step down for everyone’s sake, the media will suggest. Maybe the Washington Post will even decide the Biden family buckraking is actually worth looking into — and that it’s impeachable.

Biden may be elected president Tuesday, but if so, it won’t be long before the self-described “transition candidate” gets told he needs to transition his way to a nice, comfy facility in Boca Raton.
