In every state
It's not suspicious
Unless you want to go back and say they're suspicious every time it's done, which, OK go for it

@Elzam not saying it is just saying it is interesting
How can it be interesting if it happens every election?
I'm trying to discern what the Sen runoff will be like
I see
also if the Rep gets just 50 percent or over then no runoff
this Rep stands at 49.71 percent
why no pres runoff in GA?
because Pres is determined by federal election law and Sen is state election law
ah
well actually it's more complicated ...
the US Constitution allows for the state legislature to pick the method to determine the electors BUT the Constitution also sets the dates so there's no time for a runoff prior to certifying and selecting electors
but they can have their Sen runoff in Jan and still have Sen ready to be sworn in for the next Congress
okay it's federal election law as voted by US Congress for the dates as per the Constitution to be very picky but you get idea
okay back to the GA Sen race ... there's like 86k vote advantage for the Rep with 114k voting for the Libertarian candidate ... Dem candidate would have to take 3 out of 4 of every Libertarian voter just to even to total ... my belief is that a Libertarian voter will want gridlock in DC if they can't have their candidate and will break heavy Rep also there's at least 46k that voted in Pres race that didn't vote for Rep Sen but are all of those going to come out for the Sen race AND vote Dem?
and all the Rep have to do is get ONE GA Sen seat to ensure 51 seat majority ... Dems have to get BOTH to get a 50/50 tie with VP Harris being the tie-breaker
and then there is Manchin from West "by God" Virginia ... an old-time Democrat that ain't for "crazy socialist agenda" <insert AOC stare here>
This whole thing could have been avoided with ranked choice
ready for a month long lockdown? aFULL lockdown they said, not the partial one we did.
of course, then there's Sweden that never had a lockdown, but then what do they know
You get what you vote for. 🤷♀️
> This whole thing could have been avoided with ranked choice
@DrSammyD I'm fine with it but neither of the two parties are because the rise of 3rd party in such a system could be very swift
Yup. In a ranked choice system the political parties lose power, giving more power to individual politicians who can now gain more nuanced support. So it will sadly never happen
Maine is using the ranked system for voting

A little too narrow. Would be better to listen to deep throat.
Follow the money.
There are many ways to interfer with elections. Nazi germany openly erected organisations for this purpose in the 30ies. They were dealt with.
One can not expect countries like south africa to deal with foreign influence effectively, but one would think America could have addressed this earlier. For some reason that has not happened.
On the other hand, can you really complain if you build a brothel in Gotham city and it fills up with saudi princes and chinese bankers?
