Trump could use this little-known loophole to still win the election

Ever since the liberal mainstream media called the election for Joe Biden even before all the votes were counted and with allegations of pro-Democratic voter fraud all across this great land of ours, the so-called “free press” has been proclaiming that Donald Trump can’t win the election, that he’s a “loser,” and that Joe Biden is going to be the next president. But these elites … Continue reading Trump could use this little-known loophole to still win the election

Justices Bound to See ACA as ‘Indispensable,’ Says Californian Leading Defense

Samantha Young SACRAMENTO — When the U.S. Supreme Court hears a case Tuesday that could decide the fate of the Affordable Care Act, California will be leading the defense to uphold the federal law that touches nearly every aspect of the country’s health care system. It’s usually the federal government’s job to defend a federal law, but President Donald Trump’s administration wants this law, also … Continue reading Justices Bound to See ACA as ‘Indispensable,’ Says Californian Leading Defense

Georgia Secretary of State: Be better candidates if you want to win elections

Georgia’s two U.S. senators have a bone to pick with the state’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger. See, last week, they ran for re-election in a rare double election (usually only one senate seat is up at a time, but Georgia had a vacancy in 2019 and needed to hold a special election) and, well, they didn’t win. They didn’t lose, either. Georgia requires its … Continue reading Georgia Secretary of State: Be better candidates if you want to win elections

It hasn’t felt like this in a long time

Cities across the U.S. broke out in spontaneous celebration after the Associated Press projected that Joe Biden will win Pennsylvania and, thus, the presidency.

It’s the kind of celebration the U.S. hasn’t seen in a long … Continue reading It hasn’t felt like this in a long time

Joe Biden is the winner – but we don’t know how, yet

Across Twitter, armchair pundits and genuine pundits alike are a little frustrated by the lack of a call in the presidential election. No major network, nor the Associated Press, has called Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Nevada for Joe Biden. Without one of those states, Biden remains in limbo, stuck at a max of 264 electoral votes. He needs 270 to win. And he has them… somewhere. … Continue reading Joe Biden is the winner – but we don’t know how, yet

A Biden Win and Republican Senate Might Lead to Gridlock on Health Issues

Julie Rovner At the time of publication, the presidential election remains too close to call. This was expected, and does not indicate that anything is wrong with the process. Independent observers have reported that the election itself appears to be free and fair. This article speculates on the possibility that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will win the vote, but does not assert that he has … Continue reading A Biden Win and Republican Senate Might Lead to Gridlock on Health Issues

There’s a chance we look back on this and laugh, right?

Another Pyramid contributor challenged me to a simple contest: predict the outcome of today’s election and whoever is closest gets, you know, the honor of being closest. While he took the Road of Uncertainty, I’m making the bold prediction that by the end of the night, we’ll have three answers to three questions. And, sure, none of them are who will the president be next … Continue reading There’s a chance we look back on this and laugh, right?

Will the Switch to Voting by Mail be an Empowerment or an Obstacle?

Four years ago, my uncle sent a mass e-mail to me and a bunch of other relatives asking us to make election prediction maps and explain our reasoning, and that he would send a token prize of $1 to whoever was closest.  I figured, if you want to make a specific prediction of outcomes rather than just repeat the probabilities that a model spits out, … Continue reading Will the Switch to Voting by Mail be an Empowerment or an Obstacle?
