Hi

It flipped, trump costs 77cents

@xephael yes, predictit

Don't use predictit

They have a 10% fee on profits, and a 5% fee on total withdrawal

This also makes their market have an error compared to the other foreign markets (see the RCP betting odds average for a list; the entire list stayed within 2% of eachother, while predictit was wildly different)

I managed to get a snapshot of predictit again

Seems like it can be overcome

And the ballots left might be almost all blue if the remaining ballots are from mail in votes

67% of counties or 67% of ballots

Because if it is all mail in ballots left, it is likely to get more blue

Same day registration

(:

It might not be available

My point was that it isnt really crazy to have more voters than old registration numbers

I don't have the numbers myself

I doubt any fishy business will be enough that if corrected for will change anything

The sharpies are interesting though

Maybe a recount or something might flip some places

Yes, I think Robert said he did

But he also said his was definitely counted

But other counties are rumoring that there issues with this

Woah

Wow that's pretty interesting

Which state is that?

Ack

Not enough information

It might be that some sharpies are ok

Just not enough info

Cryptocurrency, like bitcoin

The same technology can be used for voting

Can have some nice features like transparency, publicly auditable, cryptographically secure, and with some finesse, anonymity

In theory yes

In practice no

It would raise so many other issues

You'd need a cryptographically secure id

So you'd have to win the voter id fight first

It does

But there are fights all over the US claiming that some people don't have ids

And that voter id laws are about disenfranchising minorities

The argument is separate from the implications

If we can't agree on that, we aren't doing anything like blockchain

@DeathRhodes666 there is no point arguing with me about it lol, you preaching to the choir

There are some good ancillary arguments of general voter suppression

I think that a moderate democrat could be convinced to change their focus from banning voter ID requirements, to requiring the government to ensure free ID enfranchisement

Getting an ID in NYC took me an entire afternoon(12-5pm) and something like 60 bucks

That is insane

FL was the best experience with ID

Felt like 5 minutes and the fee was miniscule

PA was midling

I had to wait a while

Can't recall the fee but it wasn't insane

PA raise your hand 👋

@TacitusKilgore yea right now everyone is arguing about that issue in bad faith

But I think headway could be made if they worked together

But there is no real incentive to right now

It's perfect issue for both sides

Point being, blockchain or whatever doesn't stand a chance currently

I don't think it has anything to do with some deadline

Technological change

Internet

Urbanization

I think people see patterns too much

The rome trope raises my skeptical meters to full

that wasn't meant to attract minorities

they already had minorities in the bag

that was meant to attract so called "allies"

fire them up etc.

Biden wasn't even that strong on that sort of thing

(he isn't very woke personally)

and you point out the irony that focusing on racial inequalities did not help or perhaps harmed their minority vote numbers

and I am saying I don't think the did that expecting a larger minority vote

(NYT)

there may be late mail ins as well

I think people just need to unknow that common forms of news media and social media are unbiased in any fashion, and reknow that they are basically party platforms

using Facebook is basically giving money and power to the DNC, nothing short

however, this knowledge will lead to a bifurcation of media, and a bifurcation of employers, and businesses

NYT has an EC view

wow that is pretty cool

@Sam (VVG_TV) cool

I drew lines

but he has to win PA

and PA isn't looking good

NC is a maybe

GA is maybe last time I checked

he must win AZ or NE and both are maybe

obviously flipping WI via court or something would be useful

there is too much sarcasm to make sense of what you are saying @Zuluzeit

@shaunm109 from the numbers, it seems like yes, though some people might know more about what kinds of votes and from where are left to count and know more

@Zuluzeit I am sorry I don't understand you

@Doc where?

cool 👋

ha I meant it in the "that's interesting" sense
