WH: Trump to speak in briefing room at 6:30pm.

Not really sure what the ramifications of this (if any) are, but anyhoo:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/11/05/usps-late-ballots-election/

More than 150,000 ballots were caught in U.S. Postal Service processing facilities and not delivered by Election Day, agency data shows, including more than 12,000 in five of the states that have yet to be called for either President Trump or his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Despite assurances from Postal Service leaders that agency officials were conducting daily sweeps for misplaced ballots, the mail service acknowledged in a court filing Thursday that thousands of ballots had not been processed in time, and that more ballots were processed Wednesday than on Election Day.

The number of mailed ballots the Postal Service did not deliver by Election Day is expected to grow as more data is released in the coming days. Some election experts worry such delays could run up against even more generous ballot acceptance windows that some states have granted.

Maybe we’ll get a sir story, one of those where big strong men who never cried, even as babies, break down and cry in front of him. Those are awesome.

Trump’s war on science continues. Losing the Calculus regiment was bad enough, but now the entire math army is against them.

So Philadelphia may have another couple of ten thousand or more (I’ve seen speculation of anywhere from 50-90,000) provisional ballots from folks who requested a mail ballot, never got one, and showed up to vote.

So let’s cover that.

When those voters go to their in-person polling place, the poll worker looks them up and says “You were sent a ballot.”

The voter says “Yes, but I never got it.”

The poll worker says: “You need to fill out a provisional ballot.”

Then the person votes.

Now then. Those provisionals have to be adjudicated. Which sounds super serious, but for most of them is a pretty simple process.

For most ballot adjudication in this manner, it’s as simple as looking up to see if that person’s mailed ballot arrived and was counted already in the interim. If that didn’t happen, that’s it. Count the vote. I’m not sure if Pennsylvania law allows a voter to pre-spoil his mail-in ballot. It may not. In that case, if you didn’t surrender a ballot that was mailed to you, they wait until Friday and then count your provisional if no mailed ballot to you shows up as returned.

@triggercut, you are amazing. Thank you for being here.

That’s great! You can either click to stop the counting or click to continue the counting!

We all know what DJT’s speaking thing will sound like, but I think he should just step to the podium and, without saying a word, drop trau and take a massive dump. Then walk off.

[RichVR]

I clicked continue and got a “this website wants to track your location, Allow Don’t Allow”. Not so fast fascists.

[Dissensus]

That would be the most presidential thing he’s ever done.

[antlers]

That would add transparency to the usual process

[BiggerBoat]

Truly, this is the day, yadda-yadda

[MikeOberly]

It would truly be the day that DJT became president.

Can’t wait for Trump to throw DeJoy under the bus and start asking what happened with all those ballots.

And Biden should create an EO to counter every one of Trump’s EOs and have them ready to sign day one.
