That is unbelievable. You would have thought the RC church would support one of their own, especially a practising RC, against the amoral WASP. Ireland of the 50's was notable for the attempts of the RC church to interfere in politics. Yes they still get involved in referendums on what they see as moral issues but the idea of them guiding their flocks towards a political party in an election has long vanished.Florida in general and Miami in particular, have that Cuban dynamic. They are strongly Republican.
It's that I'm talking about; the Archbishop of St. Louis having a letter read from every pulpit in his diocese basically telling people that they aren't proper Catholics if they don't vote for Trump.
In my experience the RC Church in the US is for the most part very conservative and intolerant.That is unbelievable.

You can now lay that off at 450. I don't know what could happen to cause KH to win the electoral college - maybe if Joe got run over by a bus, the EC can constitutionally elect his VP.So final call is - Harris €2@ 1,000/1.

This is a strange one. Into 440, then 430, now??
Biden has taken the lead in Georgia, so I guess its a done deal now. I will let this run a while for the craic, I only have €2 on it. Strange stuff indeed.
I thought you had multiples of that at stake!
Yes, it is frustrating. I don’t like that Trump has a 6% chance still according to Betfair. Ok unlikely, but not impossible.Why is counting taking so long? This is surely unprecedented in a US election?
I know there are lots of mail-in votes but my understanding is that these votes can be scanned electronically?
The longer the count takes is there a danger that it feeds into Trumps narrative of corrupt practices?

It's actually pretty normal. Most of the states are still counting... It's just most of them are pretty clear. This year is unusual because so many are quite close. Florida in 2000 took weeks.
Most states have dates for receipt of things like military votes that extend up to a week after voting day. It's been the same for every election.
States have a deadline of a month after voting day to certify and decide delegates.
I presume they have never been wrong.
