Within The Absentee margin

[Joe the Revelator]

How can this election be considored over when its well within the margin of the still uncounted (at least i believe still uncounted) absentee votes? Dosn't that technically make the election " too close to call"

1. Good question....only 500k votes between Y/N on recall

2. absentee ballots which arrive at the central office before today are count

-ed at the precinct. Only the ballots which arrived today might not be in the initial count from the precinct, but they'll be counted before morning.

3. so technically

there could have only been 2.5 million non absentee ballots counted so far out of the 6 million? I'm not trying to be a smartass, i'm actually truly confused.

5. yes

People are really grasping here. Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

6. I don't think it was a grasp

i thought that people were underestimating the effect of the 3.5 million absentee ballots

9. I think they are overestimating the effect of the absentee ballots

4. it doesn't matter to them

they are going to steal the election no matter what happens. they are ignoring the impact absentee votes will have right now in the news and they will do something to fix the absentee votes when they count them.

7. In this case "they" happens to be

"us".

All constitutional offices in CA are held by Dems. there is no Katherine Harris here.

8. they will find a way around that

they are too desperate and hungry for power.

10. And I don't believe any disruptor who says otherwise

11. Very true....

...so much for finding a bogeyman stuffing ballot boxes.
