I'm going with 276-262.mostonmike wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2024 10:05 amI've been deciding where to place my five British pounds bet so I've studied the form, the runners and riders.Current Bookies prediction (based on the over/unders):
Trump 283
Harris 255
And despite all the rhetoric and opinions about what is best for your country, your affiliations, the media etc........ all I can see is the anomaly of the voting system that basically whoever takes Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin will take the election.
The vote of around 150 million will make no difference to the outcome, the fate of the country is likely in the hands of the 15 million in those 3 states. I'm not having a pop at your system, its the same in the UK - first-past-the-post resulted in our new Prime Minister being elected with a landslide despite polling half-a-million less votes than they did when they were wiped out the previous election.
Voting systems are leveraged to maintain the status quo of two party systems, until they change to a straight head-to-head without all the states (constituencies over here) you will see ridiculous outcomes like the one that I think might be coming next week.
I went with 270 Democrats vs 268 Republicans - that's gonna to be fun watch the aftermath from afar. It would be hilarious.
Harris wins Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania by tight margins.
Trump wins Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia by tight margins.
And BPJ will look for anything to confirm his bias that elections are rigged and will not accept the results. He will then go on years long tirades swallowing any and all garbage from idiots like Lin Wood, Rudy Giuliani, and Sidney Powell while they go to prison and get disbarred.
