Cubans traditionally vote Republican though. That's normal.
So the people who say he had a surge in Latino support and especially among Cubans are just making it up then?

Trump and his allies have frequently painted opponent Joe Biden, a moderate Democrat, as either a socialist himself or in hock to the “radical left”. Some Miami voters told the Reuters news agency this struck home.

Nonetheless, Trump's efforts to cast Democrats as socialist may have been crucial in Florida, said Sergio Garcia-Rios, a professor of Government and Latino studies at Cornell University. “That mobilised a lot of Cuban Americans,” he said.

What I said was that you shouldn't be surprised by the fact that Trump's voters turned out in high numbers for Trump. We expected that was going to happen everywhere because enthusiasm has been quite high among Trump's supporters. And the Cuban community in Florida historically has been as reliably Republican as it gets, so of course they were going to turn out in higher numbers this year.

Ah, that's my mistake not explaining it better then. I wasn't surprised that there is high support among Cubans for Lord Dampnut. I was surprised that his attack on Biden as a radical communist worked and resonated among Cubans. I've actually seen interviews of Cubans comparing Biden to Castro and completely swallowing all the bullshit, hook line and sinker.
I have to say though, I listened to Mike Madrid talk about it a bunch and he doesn't seem to think the Hispanic vote just naturally gravitated towards Lord Dampnut. He was talking about very specific efforts of outreach and microtargeting that Lord Dampnut's campaign used to get the support. And he already seemed to have a couple of strategies for the next two years to try to counter that.

Trump up 12.5k in Georgia with 50k votes left. Biden needs around 64% of those to win the state, which seems likely.
Trump up 113.5k in Pennsylvania with 500k votes left. At the rate Biden's winning absentee votes in PA (and especially Philly) he could take the state by around 200k.

Trump is over.
It's highly likely Biden gets it.
Trump's pathetic struggles now are what he deserves.

I like that the "fraud" he's losing his mind over in Michigan (the person entering results typo'd one of the batches) wouldn't be enough to win him the state. Even if you just took 130,000 votes from Biden he'd still win it.

The President of the United States now has legal authority to use 14th amendment powers to federalize the PA national guard and call upon the citizen militia.

What I don't understand is:
An election is underway.
Not all votes have been counted yet.
Someone demands to stop the counting of votes before it is complete.
Regardless of politics, what possible justification can anyone give for the above scenario?
