Why did they not make postal votes have to come in pre election?

Why give Trump an opportunity for thos nonsense?

There was absolutely no need to extend past polling day
They do have to come in (or at minimum, depending on the state, be postmarked) on or before Election Day. The issue is that (mostly Republican) legislatures beat back legislation to allow counting to happen before Election Day in states like PA... precisely to set up this sort of scenario.
 
Had no idea they hadn't already factored them in.

I did wonder why Trump was kicking off - assumed it was paranoia around some of the very close calls but it'll be them post votes then.
It’s different in every state. Some states pretty much had all their mail in votes counted prior to yesterday, and other places like PA weren’t even allowed to open the envelopes and start counting until yesterday morning.
 
He wasn’t. There were 20 odd candidates. Biden was the one seen BY VOTERS (supported by pretty consistent data) as being the one with the best chance of beating Trump

absolutely - but again, that a late 70s ex VP was the best candidate is the sign of a party with deep issues (issues that needed to be fixed post 2016)

I think the more egregious problems are with they system they’re all working within, rather than the party. The GOP has HUGE systemic advantages currently.
 
Your takes have been, I’m sorry mate, dreadful all night.

The most likely way Trump could win now is by cheating and somehow getting courts to throw out legitimate ballots without them being counted.

Biden has won Arizona and is favoured to flip Georgia. PA has TWO MILLION uncounted early votes which so far have broken something daft like 80/20 to Biden.
Are you saying Biden is the most likely of the two candidates to win then?
