Real Clear Politics quietly changes Biden to below 270

Since there’s nothing to worry about, why doesn’t Joe get behind it? It would be great politics because then he could say he wanted to be sure it was a fair election and it would dovetail perfectly with his call for unity.

Because like all Lefties, Joe Blow is a hypocrite. the kind of "unity" these morons want is for everyone to "unite" behind them.

You mean like the media should have done?

The media has always called the election. Of course it's not official until all votes are certified but they all want to be the first to call it. How many times has virtually every news source called the election one way or the other and been wrong? Like never or maybe once when the race was razor close. This one isn't close and Biden is clearly the winner.

When have they ever waited for every single vote to be counted to call winners?

I'll answer for you: never. The media always makes the calls based on statistics and probabilities. And everyone usually recognizes that.

They showed a whole montage of the loudest voices on the right at the moment saying the opposite in both 2016 and in 2018. Nothing about this year has changed, except that Trump lost.

They all bitched and complained when FOX called Arizona but there is only one thing that matters, were they right? A major network puts their reputation on the line when making a call. None of them called the election in any state or the country wrong this time, it was easy.

In a race to be "first" they become part of the problem rather than a part of a solution. It isn't reporting when you become part of the story, it becomes advocating.

None of them call the election until all voting has ceased and results are rolling in so the only problem is theirs if they project the wrong person to be winner. A media outlet has never affected who is the winner, they can't, it's impossible.

The only thing that changed is mail ballots.

There was nothing to contest in 2016 besides the Russian idiocy. And let’s not forget the FL debacle in 2000 that dragged on to December.

Plenty of states have used mail in ballots and I would not be surprised if they all use them next time around. And that FL debacle was over 537 votes, not 44,000. Trump is simply making an ass out of himself with his recounts, nothing is going to change. But that is fine, it's his right, I look forward to watching that asshole lose again.:)

Agreed the "race to be first" is a problem. Agreed that it could become advocating, but IMO it's all about ratings.

In the media world, as this website proves, ratings = money. The more viewers, members, supporters, etc, the more money is made.

And none of the networks are declaring a winner, they are projecting a winner and that is their right.

Did you complain about it in any previous election?

Without recounts, Trump has lost all of the states in question. There are only 2 states - WI and GA - where an argument for recount is legit according to statute.

No one has ever held off on calling an election to wait for recounts. Recounts generally don't make a difference if the margin of victory is beyond a few hundred votes.

No, they NEVER make a difference when the margin of victory is even a fraction of what they are in this election.
