That's why I would like to see it litigated.

CA is now up to 69% counted and Trump is holding at 4 million ahead.

I think California considers this a hate crime.

CA now at 72%, with Trump's lead dropping to 3.7 million votes. I'm gonna guess that by the time they're done, he'll end up 2.5-3 million votes ahead. Not as good as the 5 million, but still decisive.

Fox is still showing California at 66% reported. I wonder what the disparity between them is.

But, Fox has also finally declared Arizona for Trump.

Absolutely stunning. The afternoon of the 6ths I was really figuring that we'd have a hyena for president elect on the 7th when I woke up. Never did I expect that it would go like this.

CA now at 74%, Trump at 3.6 million. He might be able to keep it above 3 million, since CA is supposed to stop counting mail-ins tomorrow. I only keep bringing CA up because while everyone is saying AZ is a problem (and they are), AZ is at 94% reporting. CA is the only state lagging like this other than Alaska, where remote geography comes into play. CA is clearly the worst state regarding fair and free elections.

California is at 86% reporting, and Trump's lead in the popular vote is down to a little over 3 million.

There's no way he keeps a 3 million gap, unfortunately, but this should still be a huge slap in the face to Dems.

Who was it in 2016 who said that the Republicans would never win the popular vote ever again? Was that Rachel Madow?

Dropped to 2,999,xxx this morning. Hopefully it won't drop below 2 million before the West Coast is done counting (next year?).  =)

CA at 90% votes tallied. Trump now ahead by 2.6 million votes. Dropped another 400K. He should still be able to keep >2 million ahead. OR and WA are nearly done (92% and 94%), so Harris won't get much more there.

Well, I'm sure that by the time California is done counting votes in... June 2031... Kamala will have won the popular vote and once again the cry will be to eliminate the electoral college.

CA at 91% counted, Trump down another 100K votes. There sure are a lot of blue votes coming in 15 days after the election. At 100K votes per percent counted, Trump will drop below 2 mil on the popular vote and also below the >50% mark.

What the hell is going on?

Fox is saying that 96.4% of California's vote is counted and with a lead of 2.575 million.

Interesting. I've been using Decision Desk. Who knows who to trust anymore?

More than 2 weeks after the election and a couple of California districts STILL haven't finished their count? Combined with the "defy the law and count invalid ballots" hijinks in Pennsylvanis, is it any wonder people doubt the integrity of the election?
Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Exactly this.  And they have to do it thousands of times.  I'm surprised they don't just prepare the extra ballots as soon as the official ones have been finalized before the election.  The cheaters could dump them into the system on election night once they see how things are going.  Make cheating fast again.  Doesn't quite have the same ring as MAGA, though.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Bet good money she's being very selective in which ballots she cures

Quote
Nancy Pelosi's daughter said she was 'curing' ballots in a California congressional district where the Republican candidate saw his lead drop by hundreds of votes in recent days.

Christine Pelosi, one of the former House speaker's four daughters, posted a video Tuesday saying she was traveling to the Golden State's 13th congressional district, where the race between Republican John Duarte and Democrat Adam Gray has tightened.

Quote
allot 'curing' refers to the process of allowing voters the chance to fix minor errors with their mail-in ballots to avoid them being discarded.

These can include voters failing to sign their ballots or enter voter ID information.

Fox is reporting 98% of California's vote is finally in, and Trump still has a 2.5 million + lead in the popular vote.

Absolutely huge.

And several of my Facebook friends are, I'm sure, preparing EPIC meltdowns because they were absolutely sure that California was going to turn that tide and once again prove that Republicans can't win the popular vote and the OLD DEAD WHITE MAN RACIST ELECTORAL COLLEGE HAS TO GO!!!

India counted 640 million votes in 1 day.

California is still counting votes

I'm still curious on who is getting counts from where, because while Fox is showing 98% votes counted in CA, Decision Desk is still showing CA at 93%, and popular vote numbers are still changing, so there's plenty of counting still going on there. Nearly three weeks after election day.
