2. Being Republicans and all....

I'd say the most they can count on is 102% of the remaining vote. Not quite enough, even for a Republican.

4. If Trump says he has won

then that is the end of it.

Numbers? The faithful don't need no stinkin' numbers! Just believe, believe real hard, and it will come true.
Trump says so, that should be enough!
Even Mike Pompeo believes that, and he is real smart!

. . . seriously, do I need the 'sarcasm' emoji here? Oh, ok!

10. You keep saying this

But unfortunately, nobody knows how many of the remaining provisionals will be valid.

In addition, Biden will win a majority of the provisionals too, so I think it's fine to use their number for now.

11. Nobody knows?

Look at the freaking election board of PA. Only some counties reported their provisional ballots, and uncounted provisional ballots from those counties are at over 20k.
So lots of provisional ballots still remain (probably over 100 k).
Board also lists 50 k in mail ballots as still outstanding.
So if I keep saying that site does not list remaining ballots correctly is because that site does not list remaining ballots correctly.
I am not trying to make any other point, other than the number of outstanding ballots on that site is way off.

12. You admitted yesterday that you realize all of those won't be cured

So, nobody really knows how many valid ballots remain.

14. But clearly more than 31 k.

Are you going to keep arguing about that? Repeatedly posting a wrong number is not going to make it accurate.

15. Biden already ahead by 20k and there's 32k listed on that site

I've got absolutely zero concern about the 20k or whatever % of provisionals that will be counted.

16. Provisional numbers are likely at over a 100 k.

Only some counties posted their numbers. I don't have concerns over the numbers.
I don't think posting incorrect number over and over again and doing calculations using an incorrect number does anyone any good.
The site is way off for outstanding ballots.

What the hell is taking so long with the count? Same with the other open states, what the hell is taking so long?
