I'll help dumb it down for you....
In making his argument, Lankford noted that after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the bipartisan committee that investigated them found that the compressed time frame for the transition after the contested 2000 election may have contributed to the lack of preparedness for the attack.
In their report after the attacks, the commission said that the dispute over the election and the "36-day legal fight" following "cut in half the normal transition period." The loss of time, the commission said, "hampered the new administration in identifying, recruiting, clearing, and obtaining Senate confirmation of key appointees," diminishing US preparedness before the terrorist attacks.

I'll even help you with the math.....36 is half of 72. 72 is the number of days between the election and the swearing in.

Is that what you are basing your argument on? Really? ******** conjecture from a useless committee?

Joe is an experienced hand so he shouldn't need much time to assume office.

Just announced: From now on, when Tennessee football loses a game (regardless of however lopsided), the new strategy will be to say we were cheated, file litigation and claim victory. Sounds good to me. SEC Championship Game... here we come!

If our points were taken away and given to the other team, you bet your a$$ we would.

Do you have a source to back up that claim? This article doesn't support that position at all. Rather, it states that the most economically vibrant communities voted overwhelmingly for Biden while Trump found his success in the most economically downtrodden counties. So how would Trump voters have higher employment and income while living in the least economically viable communities? That seems counterintuitive. Instead, it seems to suggest that Trump voters are on average poorer than Biden voters.

Yes actually I posted several links to articles on Monday; search for the keyword ‘rich’ under my forum name.

Cities, counties, and states do not vote; people do. And Republican voters typically have higher incomes regardless of where they live. Therefore attempting an appraisal of voters by where they live is a falsehood. You have to look at the actual voters.

As I note, states that are strongly Republican in the south have disproportionately high rates of the population that are black, and Hispanic/Latino, which vote 90% and 70% respectively for Democrats. CA and southwestern states with high Hispanic/Latino populations also have disproportionately high rates of poverty (and less post-high school education) associated. Without arguing the various factors of why those populations are less affluent, i simply note that they are socioeconomic anchors on the population at large.

It would be a travesty to rush transition of the office to someone that wasn't legally elected to that office. Your fearmongering has no place in this discussion.

I'll ask again. By whom? And by whom?

I mean seriously, let’s just burn the whole thing down, fire everyone, and start over. It’s too broken to be fixed at this point. No more parties. Everyone stands on their own and actually acts like they are employees of the people.

Now, now; no reason to closely examine AZ elections because a BLMer SoS who certifies the vote, labels Trumps base neo-Nazis....concern for election integrity is a well known characteristic of Nazis.

Transition actually starts before the election. You're preparing for the possibility of a transition. But transition has nothing to do with conceding.

Thanks!

I played around with some of that json data you found for various states and can confirm that what you are seeing is just a product of a lack of specificity in the vote share number. Whichever candidate is losing a lead in almost every instance would appear to be losing votes (assuming I understand your method). They aren't actually losing votes, because this isn't meant to be a depiction of raw vote totals but just a rough rounding for the website.

A good example from the Arizona data:

Capture.JPG

Biden's .499 share of 3152467 is 1,573,081.033 (not an exact integer)

Then with the next update Biden's .498 share of 3155433 is 1,571,405.634 (not an exact integer)

Biden's "vote" dropped by -1,675.696. You find similar instances in every state when one candidate is closing the gap.

It is not because votes are being stolen from either candidate, but because the vote share number is just a rounded number used in website display and doesn't have the required specificity to calculate the raw vote.
