General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much.

I myself had the same experience you did. Tuesday evening I thought it was a Trump win for sure, but saw changes on Wednesday. I of course can't say for sure what happened, but I do think that the mail in ballots accounted for some of the change. Trump mocked and railed against mail in voting, and perhaps as a result there were many more Democrats than Republicans who cast their ballot by mail. If mail votes (because they were still coming in) were counted in disproportionate number on Wednesday and succeeding days, that would be a logical explanation for a change in percentages because the mail ballots were heavily Democratic.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/u...s-turnout.html

From the article above:

But the president has more often denounced voting by mail, issuing baseless claims that it is a way to rig the election against him and arguing that mail-in ballots are inherently suspect. During his debate on Tuesday with Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, Mr. Trump once again assailed mail-in balloting, citing a handful of ballots in Pennsylvania that were inappropriately discarded to argue that Democrats were using the mail to cheat.

Historically, mail-in voting has not bestowed a partisan advantage on either side. But Mr. Trump’s talk has turned the practice itself into a political issue. In polls, many more Democrats than Republicans have said they planned to vote by mail this election.

Has the violence genie been let out of the bottle, and it doesn't matter any longer who rubbed the lamp?
That is a dark and scary outlook. Profoundly thoughtful. No matter what political party each of us belongs to, or our personal beliefs about how a country should best be run, the thought that there is no real free choice is disturbing. I hope it is not true.

I suppose that for one's mental health it would be best not to look at it all too closely, but I'd rather see things as they are.

It definitely seemed suspicious. I personally didn't care who won, but if the system isn't operating fairly and properly I do have a major problem with that.

It was well known that counts would change after mail in votes and they expected it to be heavy. Every counting place had democrat and republican watchers in place. They turned down one lawsuit that said republicans were not allowed to view counting process. In Pennsylvania when judge asked lawyer, are you going to tell me under oath that there were no republican supervisors during vote counting? The lawyer said no. Trumps lawyers have not made one valid claim of wrong doing. In fact to make those numbers illegal you would have had to have had both sides in on it. Way too many checks and balances.

In fact, Bernie called it pretty exactly 2 weeks ago

FYI, this thread has some links in it that are darn interesting.
