Donald Trump’s path to victory narrow, not impossible

TROY BRAMSTON- NOVEMBER 2, 2020

1/2

In the final days of the US election campaign, Joe Biden has a clear advantage in national and state polling and therefore many paths to achieving the necessary 270 votes in the electoral college. Donald Trump is well behind in the polling and has only a narrow, though not impossible, path to victory.

In assessing the various ways both candidates can win the presidency, it is important to note that Trump won a very narrow election victory in 2016. He lost the popular vote by 2.8 million to Hillary Clinton. It is very unlikely Trump will win the popular vote this year.

So, Trump’s task is to thread the needle of the Electoral College. Trump won the electoral college by demolishing the Democrats’ so-called “blue wall”: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But he won these three states by a small margin – a combined 77,744 votes.

Trump’s campaigning and advertising spend is almost exclusively focused on states he won last time. He is not looking to expand the electoral map. Many presidents have made gains when seeking re-election: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1956), Richard Nixon (1972), Ronald Reagan (1984), Bill Clinton (1996) and George W. Bush (2004).

There is one state that Trump hopes to pick up: Minnesota. Clinton won the state in 2016. The last Republican to win the mid-western state of Minnesota was Nixon in 1972. It is unlikely Trump can pick up this state.

Trump won 304 electoral college votes four years ago. The magic number is 270 to clinch victory. So, if he loses 35 votes, he’s toast. That could come by losing just Florida (29) and Wisconsin (10). Or he could lose just Pennsylvania (20) and Michigan (16). Two states stand between Trump’s re-election and defeat.

So Trump’s pathway to victory is to replicate what he achieved four years ago. It is possible that there could be another polling error in his favour. But we are past the point where this would be a normal polling error. But if the polling averages in 2020 are as wrong as they were in 2016, Trump would still lose.

(continued)

>>11415138

2/2

According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden has an 8.6 per cent average polling lead in Michigan, 4.9 per cent in Pennsylvania and 8.3 per cent in Wisconsin. Trump is also trailing Biden in North Carolina, Arizona and Ohio, albeit by smaller margins, but they are states he carried in 2016.

More worrying for Trump is that he is behind in Georgia (16 electoral college votes), according to RealClearPolitics. The last Democrat to win Georgia was Clinton in 1992. Texas (38 votes) is also at risk of voting for Biden.

That is why this electoral dynamics favour a Biden victory.

If Biden holds all the states Clinton won in 2016, he has multiple paths to 270 electoral votes. He could lose Florida and Arizona but win the presidency just by picking up Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – reassembling the “blue wall”. This is Biden’s best bet.

Or Biden could win just Florida and Michigan to edge past 270. Or Biden could win Arizona and Florida in the sunbelt and pick up Wisconsin in the rust belt to claim victory. There are many ways to slice and dice a Biden win.

If Trump loses Florida or Pennsylvania with a combination of just two other smaller states, he will not be able to reach 270. If Georgia or Texas goes blue, it will be over quickly.

The bottom line for Trump is that he will need to win states that are too close to call such as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa and Ohio while also winning several states that are now “light blue” (leaning towards Biden) such as Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada and New Hampshire. It is a tall order.

If the election looks close in several battleground states, we may not know the outcome on election night (Wednesday AEDT) due to the record early voting. But we will probably know enough to know where the race is headed.

Arizona, North Carolina and Florida will count most of their early votes on or before election day. But Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin will not start counting most of their early votes until election day, and it could take several days to complete. That is OK – votes are always counted after election day.

Australian audiences should start to see the first results before 11am on Wednesday. At 11am (AEDT), polls close in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania with results to come at that hour. Most polls will have closed by 1pm with results to follow in the early afternoon. It will be thrilling to watch.

OPINION - Ann Wason Moore on the importance of democracy

Whether you voted Labor, LNP or even One Nation, every single Queenslander should be stoked with the results of the state election. Why? Because the winner was democracy.

ANN WASON MOORE - November 3, 2020

WHETHER you voted Labor, LNP or even One Nation, every single Queenslander should be stoked with the results of the state election.

Why? Because the winner was democracy.

It’s a result we take for granted in Australia and, until recently, in America.

But with just 24 hours until the most important election in United States history, the days of the peaceful democratic process pioneered by the land of the free could well be numbered.

Businesses and homes across the States are boarding up windows and battening down the hatches in fear of the civil unrest that could result when vote counting begins.

And rather than uniting his fractured states, President Donald Trump is throwing lit matches on the oil of electoral anxiety.

When asked to confirm that he will leave office if he loses, Trump’s response was a middle finger to democracy.

“We’re going to have to see what happens,” he said. “You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.”

Now, there is growing concern that the election, and the wait for results, will spark widespread civil unrest in the US.

No matter who wins, it seems that America will be the loser. Whether it’s on the right with QAnon crowds and racist mobs like the Proud Boys standing by — as encouraged by Trump — or radicals on the left ready to unleash hell, both sides are being besieged by extremists.

Over the weekend, Walmart announced it was removing all guns and ammunition from its sales floors in a bid to stop looters ahead of election day.

“We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers,” a Walmart spokesman said.

Indeed, a poll released by Suffolk University and USA Today has found three-quarters of respondents are worried about the possibility of violence on election day.

Now, let’s compare and contrast that to our sweet state election.

Even in marginal seats like Gaven, or those now on a knife-edge like Burleigh and Currumbin, the conduct of our candidates is the epitome of what it means to be politically correct.

Forget guns and weapons, there was nary a sharp word from the likes of Labor MP for Gaven Meaghan Scanlon, who won her second term.

“I thank all my opponents and their supporters,” she said. “Politics can be tough and regardless of what your views, candidates and campaigners who are willing to take a stand and give up their own time to do what they believe is right is admirable.”

Indeed, Ms Scanlon paid particular tribute to LNP candidate Kirsten Jackson, whose huge effort saw her door knock 8500 homes in the area.

Over in Currumbin where, upon writing this, the result is still too close to call, Labor candidate Kaylee Campradt similarly saluted the efforts of LNP incumbent Laura Gerber.

And back in Burleigh, where the LNP’s Michael Hart seems to have lost his grip, if not his seat, to a swing from the silent majority who support light rail, the MP still exchanged kind words with Labor rival Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew on election day.

Indeed, it seems the only war of words erupting post-election have been inter-party battles, with Deb Frecklington forced to fall on her sword.

But whether or not she was to blame for her party’s failure, she was graceful in defeat — and for that, I consider her a winner.

I only wish I could expect the same behaviour from the President of the United States.

Let’s set aside personal politics for the moment. (Yes, I detest Trump. And big thanks to the Trump-lovers who trolled not just me but my kids on social media this weekend … way to prove my point that we need a better human being as leader.)

The result I most want to see from the US election is not a Biden win, but for the States to once again be united.

Unfortunately, it feels like we’re all going to lose.

Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon Are Flooding the Zone With Hunter Biden Conspiracies

Media properties tied to an exiled Chinese billionaire are behind waves of disinformation in the lead-up to the election.

BY NICK ASPINWALL - NOVEMBER 2, 2020

1/3

A media network linked to Steve Bannon and his billionaire funder Guo Wengui has continued to act as a breeding ground for false stories about Hunter Biden, which have metastasized into wild claims repeated by mainstream commentators and broadened online attacks on a Texas-based Chinese dissident already in hiding after Guo’s followers congregated outside his home.

GNews, an outlet of Guo and Bannon’s GTV Media Group, has published numerous false stories about Biden, the son of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, operating as a nexus for the spread of alleged sex tapes by aggregating content from a popular YouTube streamer with ties to Guo. It was also an early source of unsubstantiated rumors that the Biden family hid business dealings in China—fictions that were eventually repeated by President Donald Trump during the second presidential debate.

Twitter confirmed that it had suspended Guo-linked accounts that spread the rumors, but the exiled Chinese businessman and his media properties remain a hub for the explosively viral spread of disinformation.

Weeks before the New York Post published its Oct. 14 series of stories on the contents of Hunter Biden’s so-called hard drive, allegations of multiple hard drives that would incriminate Biden were broadcast on Sept. 25 by Lude Media, a YouTube channel run by the dissident streamer and Guo ally Wang Dinggang. They were then shared by Twitter accounts linked to GNews and to Guo and Bannon’s Himalaya movement, according to a story in the Daily Beast, along with Bannon himself, who boasted on Dutch TV in late September that he had Hunter Biden’s hard drive.

Wang is close to Guo and has been photographed with Bannon and Rudy Giuliani, but that’s not the only evidence he was involved in the spread of the Biden rumors. On an Oct. 13 Lude Media livestream, broadcast hours before the Post ran its stories, Wang and a fellow analyst said the Post would likely publish the contents of the hard drives the following day.

Twitter accounts linked to Guo have continued to spread an array of escalating false claims about Biden, including Pizzagate-esque rumors of child abuse that also originated with Wang and Lude Media, along with false stories about the Biden family’s dealings with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). “They’re trying to imitate tactics used by QAnon,” inflating conspiracy theories until their evolution becomes unstoppable, said Keenan Chen, a researcher for the misinformation-tracking nonprofit First Draft who has tracked the spread of the Biden rumors.

The release of the alleged sex tapes, which also claim to show Hunter Biden using drugs on a visit to Beijing, were spread by followers of Guo in an Oct. 24 Twitter campaign coordinated in a Himalaya movement Discord chat group. Members of the group tweeted links to the tapes once they were published on GNews and gave each other instructions to tag prominent political influencers throughout the spectrum, according to a source with knowledge of the group’s activities. If a group member was suspended, they were told to immediately use another email to create a new Twitter account, the source said.

Twitter confirmed that it recently suspended numerous accounts linked to Guo, GTV, and Guo and Bannon’s Himalaya movement, including accounts involved in spreading the sex tape rumors, for violating the site’s platform manipulation and spam policy. It declined to say how many accounts it had banned or which tweets triggered the suspensions.

It may have been too late. Discussions of the alleged sex tape, along with baseless claims of child abuse, quickly became “very visible on English-language social media,” Chen said. By the evening of Oct. 24, the actor and far-right influencer James Woods had referenced the story and accused Twitter of censoring it. Many others followed.

The Biden rumors have reached a fever pitch in the days before the election. Many of the most potent claims have roots with anti-CCP and far-right actors, including the Falun Gong-backed Epoch Times. The CCP critic Christopher Balding—who was behind a discredited brief on Hunter Biden’s business dealings commissioned by a far-right editor, Mark Simon, at the Hong Kong-based Apple Daily—appeared on Bannon’s podcast to share his claims. Wang was a key driver of the brief’s virality on Twitter, where it was shared by right-wing influencers including Newt Gingrich.

“It does seem clear that there is a concerning nexus developing between anti-CCP conspiracy theories and other conspiracy theories like QAnon,” said Elise Thomas, a researcher at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute who independently investigated the Balding report.

Bannon has notoriously said the key to dealing with media is to “flood the zone with shit”—and Guo’s money has given the former Breitbart editor in chief a prime position in a disinformation network that has not only derailed public discourse but has begun to be weaponized by Guo to target other dissidents whom he vowed to “eliminate.”

Guo fled China when his patron, Vice Minister of State Security Ma Jian, fell from grace within the CCP in January 2015. He quickly joined forces with Bannon, launching a self-proclaimed government-in-exile before Bannon was arrested by U.S. federal agents on Guo’s yacht off the shores of Connecticut on fraud charges.

In April, the pair launched GTV Media Group, a media company that says it is dedicated to exposing the truth about the CCP. The company is currently being investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for potential misuse of $300 million of funds from investors.

Despite his proclaimed anti-CCP agenda, Guo’s actions have garnered vast speculation about where his loyalties truly lie. A consultancy firm hired in 2018 by a Guo-affiliated company accused him in court filings of being a “dissident-hunter”—claims that a lawyer for Guo has denied. There have even been private questions raised about Guo’s allegiances in conservative political circles themselves, according to the dissident pastor Bob Fu.

Lately, however, Guo has lived up to that moniker. In late September, around the time Guo-linked outlets began disseminating disinformation about Hunter Biden, the businessman launched his own array of attacks, urging his followers to gather outside the homes of Chinese dissidents he branded as “traitors” spying for the CCP. Groups of protesters spread flyers and chanted in the driveways outside the homes of Fu and his fellow dissident Wu Jianmin, causing Fu and his family to leave their Midland, Texas, home under police protection.

Guo’s anti-dissident campaign appeared unrelated at first—he had railed against Fu and the dissident artist Ai Weiwei as early as January—but the Fu and Biden conspiracies have somehow converged within the rabbit hole. On Oct. 27, Lude Media and GNews first shared an alleged screenshot of an email from “Bob Fenet”—said to be a pseudonym for Bob Fu—to James Biden, the nominee’s brother.

The evidence presented is incredibly shaky, but pro-Guo accounts immediately began sharing the alleged email, accumulating thousands of likes and retweets. “Breaking news from #LudeMedia,” one tweet from the pro-Guo account @John316_truth read. “Bombshell email!! Bob Fenet is Bob Fu!! The phony pastor, real CCP spy who pretends to be a Republican but in the pants with the #BidenCrimeFamily #LaptopFromHell.”

Twitter removed tweets about the email on Friday morning after an inquiry from Foreign Policy. The company confirmed that it had removed the tweet from @John316_truth for violating its private information policy. Other tweets containing the screenshot and mentioning “Bob Fenet”—whose details have been lifted from social media profiles of a real person apparently residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana—remain on the website.

Fu’s own Twitter posts have been bombarded by Guo followers accusing him of being part of a vast conspiracy to elect Joe Biden. This has come as a surprise to Fu, himself a conservative evangelical and Trump supporter who has close ties to prominent Republican politicians and faith leaders and whose nonprofit organization, which provides legal assistance to Chinese victims of religious repression, is widely respected in Washington. The rumors “show how low and desperate the Guo/Bannon group would go in order to have the CCP interfere in the U.S. election,” said Fu, who told me he is worried by the vitriolic online comments accusing him of being part of a Biden conspiracy.

The rumors may start as typo-filled, radical QAnon-like nonsense. This has not slowed their virality. Unlike QAnon, which started on 8chan and spread for years through the internet’s annals before making its way to Facebook and Twitter, the Guo-backed spread of Hunter Biden conspiracies has gained momentum on mainstream platforms—leaping easily from there to the lips of conservative commentators and House members.

The conspiracies—and their hardcore anti-CCP themes—have proved attractive to some Chinese exiles as well, including well-known figures like the soccer star Hao Haidong, who show up to Guo’s rallies, call in to Bannon’s podcast, and donate to the pair’s myriad ventures. In the paranoid political culture of the CCP, underhanded business dealings and brazen power grabs are ordinary occurrences. It makes wild Biden rumors more believable to Chinese in the United States, who share them in closed WeChat groups that are both incredibly influential and nearly impossible for independent observers to monitor.

Guo and Bannon have also shaken the preelection conversation among the Chinese diaspora and among Chinese-speaking voters, both inside and outside the United States. Hunter Biden rumors have erupted in Taiwan, where Apple Daily has published allegations that a Taiwanese businessman acted as his business broker in both China and Taiwan.

Guo’s campaign against Fu has intensified speculation of the businessman’s true motives, which, according to the pastor, had gradually picked up steam for years among conservative policymakers in Washington.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz accused the CCP of being behind the attacks on Fu. So did Sam Brownback, Trump’s religious ambassador, who said Friday that the CCP was orchestrating the “harassment of US citizen Pastor @BobFu4China, defender of religious freedom, and others on American soil.”

Commentators have speculated that Guo, who has himself been the target of Chinese-backed online harassment campaigns, could be hedging his bets to protect relationships he maintains within China. His true motives, along with Bannon’s knowledge of them, have become their own bottomless well of speculation. The U.S. presidential election is a day away, and, just as it was in 2016, the zone is flooded with shit.

Chinese fugitive Guo Wengui ‘spread Biden-China claim to impact US election’

• Unverified stories linking Democrat Joe Biden’s son Hunter to China was part of an interference campaign, former Guo collaborator John Pan says

• Claims were spread on Guo-linked YouTube channels and media platforms associated with Guo and ex-Trump strategist Steve Bannon

Linda Lew and Sarah Zheng - 3 Nov, 2020

1/2

In the run-up to the US presidential election, Chinese fugitive tycoon Guo Wengui, best known for incendiary accusations against Beijing, has been helping to promote unverified claims linking Democratic candidate Joe Biden to China, it is claimed.

The amplification of stories about Biden’s son Hunter and his alleged business ties to China was part of coordinated and sophisticated attempts to interfere with Tuesday’s US election, according to John Pan, a former collaborator with Guo who is based in Australia.

“Guo’s intention is to interfere with the US election,” Pan told the South China Morning Post in an interview. “He may not be able to control the results, but he can release materials that can mislead the public.

“I think there already has been some impact to the US election, by the so-called Hunter Biden hard drive files leak.”

Pan has said he was previously part of Guo’s inner circle, a group who helped the flamboyant and controversial billionaire-in-exile – also known as Miles Kwok – push sweeping and unproven claims ahead of the election.

The unsubstantiated theories were spread on Guo-linked YouTube channels and media platforms associated with Guo and the far-right figure Steve Bannon, formerly the chief strategist for President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, who is faltering in the latest polls behind Biden.

G News, a website owned by Guo Media, has in recent months churned out Trump-friendly headlines, including a claim that Biden’s victory would allow the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to “take over the world”.

Its articles sounded alarms about reported business ties between Biden’s son Hunter and China, and released images and videos supposedly of Hunter Biden’s sexual indiscretions.

Guo, a property tycoon, became a high-profile target for Beijing when he made a series of provocative claims about corruption at the highest levels of the Chinese elite in 2017, after saying he had fled from China to the US in 2015. The Chinese government issued an Interpol red notice for the New York-based Guo in 2017.

Pan migrated to Australia from China in 2010 and ran his own YouTube channel that focused on Chinese politics. In 2018, he joined an inner circle of Guo’s network of Chinese influencers, almost all based outside China, which Guo dubbed the “whistle-blowing revolution committee group”.

According to Pan’s estimates, the group began with 18 people, but by last December only two of the original members remained, with the rest, including Pan, having fallen out with Guo.

As of December, Pan said, the group included at least 84 known members with a combined 500,000 YouTube subscribers – including 197,000 from the US-based Chinese YouTuber Lude’s channel – and about 200,000 followers on other social media platforms.

Pan said that after severing ties with Guo he was the target of threats of violence and defamatory claims that he was a CCP “foreign agent”. Following the latter claims, at least a dozen Guo supporters and investors gathered near his Brisbane residence in protest on several days in October, according to Pan.

Researchers from First Draft, a Google News-backed non-profit project that fights misinformation and disinformation online, traced the first mentions of the Hunter Biden hard drives to Lude, who mentioned the claimed leak on September 24.

This was weeks before a October 14 New York Post story based on a copy of a hard drive provided by former New York mayor and conservative politician Rudy Giuliani. The story has been criticised over a failure to verify the authenticity of the hard drive and its use by Trump supporters to discredit Joe Biden.

“That is actually good enough proof that someone already knew about these hard drives before the so-called Western media reported on it,” said a First Draft researcher who analysed the Guo influencer network but did not want to be named.

Photos of Guo and Giuliani meeting have circulated online, and Pan said that there was a possibility that Guo, Bannon, Lude and Giuliani had met before the publishing of the New York Post article.

The First Draft researcher said it was unclear how much of an effect Guo’s circle may have had on the US election, especially given that most of the audience was the Chinese-speaking community and only a few unverified claims, such as the claimed Hunter Biden leaks, received wider coverage.

In an emailed statement, Lude said he had “exposed” not only the younger Biden but also Republican representatives and Trump administration officials.

“So is all this done for political reasons?” he wrote. “As an independent self-media figure, I am not paid a salary by anyone, and rely only on my own channels to expose and report on the truth, provide deep analysis and forward-looking predictions.”

Zhuang Liehong, another New York-based Chinese dissident and former Guo affiliate, told the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) on Sunday that Guo had asked people in his circle to “spread his bombshell revelations” even though “most of them were unverifiable”.

“Due to my disgust of the CCP, I chose to trust him,” ABC quoted Zhuang as saying. Pan and Zhuang have filed lawsuits against Guo for defamation, it reported.

Guo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The tycoon published a music video on Sunday cut with scenes of him smoking a cigar and shadowboxing on his yacht, with the lyrics: “We will fight till they’re all gone, we rejoice when they’re no more, let’s take down the CCP.”

NSW police officer probe over virus letter

An officer is in hot water after purportedly penning a COVID-19 conspiracy-laden open letter to NSW Police boss Mick Fuller.

The letter, uncovered by AAP FactCheck, questions the legitimacy of Australia's actions to curtail the spread of coronavirus, the severity of the disease and the police enforcement response.

Senior Constable Alexander Cooney, a Coffs-Clarence Highway Patrol officer, signs off on the six-page letter.

NSW Police have confirmed to AAP the duty status of an officer from the northern region is under review as part of an investigation into the matter.

Within the letter, the "Cops for Covid Truth" group calls on Commissioner Fuller to consider challenging ongoing rules to "restore community trust".

It claims many NSW Police members are "fed up" with enforcing "oppressive rules … in the name of COVID-19" and "looming mandatory vaccinations".

"Many of us believe that we are removing our own rights and freedoms by enforcing these rules upon the community, including our family and friends," the letter says.

"And the community are (sic) confounded by the intensified police enforcement around peaceful freedom protests and how inconsistent this was when compared with the Black Lives Matter protests.

"This contradiction is further destroying public confidence."

The letter pushes for assurances from Mr Fuller that police members and the general public will be given a "choice" to receive coronavirus vaccines or not.

It also infers officers may be called upon to force vaccines on people and seeks to "raise the alarm that there is a global dictatorship occurring and the police force is being used as a tool to push these global and corporate agendas upon the population".

When approached by AAP, NSW Police said it was aware of the letter.

"The officer, who is attached to a specialist command in the northern region, has been spoken to," a spokeswoman said.

"His duty status is currently under review. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."

An abridged version of the letter has been widely shared on social media by a political party that the Australian Medical Association previously labelled "anti-vaccine".

If you had an entire counter investigation zeroing in on your actions would you want to stir up the hornets nest or try to deflect? Downer’s commentary has zero impact on the election. His actions in 2016 have a big impact on himself and the US-Australia relationship in 2020

Biden's early vote lead is not enough & they know it.

Dems plan to call @realDonaldTrump's Election Day surge a "Red Mirage" to delegitimize his wave of support.

They'll try to create a smoke screen post-Election Day, even running TV ads to cast doubt on Nov. 3 vote.

Be ready.

How Trump could push button on 'red mirage' strategy and send US election to Supreme Court

By Mark Saunokonoko - Nov 3, 2020

President Donald Trump has denied he plans to execute a "red mirage" strategy on election night, where he declares himself the winner early and sets up a potential Supreme Court battle.

The red mirage entails Mr Trump declaring victory before midnight if he finds himself ahead in a clutch of key battleground states.

A report by Axios, which Mr Trump has rejected as false, claims the president's team have been discussing the plan for weeks.

The story was based on three sources familiar with the discussions, Axios claimed.

For red mirage to occur, Mr Trump would need to either win or have commanding leads in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Iowa, Arizona and Georgia.

But it will all be about Pennsylvania, Professor Wesley Widmaier, an international affairs expert at Australian National University, said.

"Pennsylvania is the keystone here, no pun intended," Professor Widmaier told nine.com.au, referring to the state's nickname.

Professor Widmaier said Mr Trump could "plausibly tip" the handful of key states that would set up Pennsylvania as a potential trigger point.

"Then they'll know they just have to take that risky strategy in Pennsylvania," he explained.

According to Axois, Mr Trump's team is preparing to falsely claim that mail-in ballots counted after November 3 are evidence of election fraud and a stolen election.

Speaking to reporters to deny the story, Mr Trump added it was a "terrible thing when ballots can be collected after an election".

A former Obama staffer this week said the red mirage strategy sounded like a "super villain" and would be just as "insidious" if used.

Professor Widmaier said if Mr Trump did go early, it could be part of a public relations strategy that declared his presidency as "a social fact".

That claim could then ostensibly lead to the US Supreme Court, just like George W. Bush and Al Gore's infamous ballot dispute in the 2000 US election.

Mr Gore lost Florida and the 2000 presidential election by 537 out of a total of almost six million votes.

In his ruling, Justice Antonin Scalia stated that continuing to recount the votes risked illegitimising Mr Bush's presidency.

Key times (AEDT) to watch for during the US election:

11am - Most of Florida closes, and Georgia closes too.

12 noon - all of Florida closes. Watch for results in the Panhandle. If there is a swing back to Biden, this could be a big indicator.

2pm - pretty much all other important states will have closed and counting will begin.

Some states, such as Florida and Ohio, allow this process to start weeks before election day, so the votes are ready to be counted.

Other states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, don't allow early votes to be processed until polling day.

Those crucial counts could take days.

If there's a disputed US election result, Australia must take action: Rudd, Turnbull

1/2

A disputed US election result could spark an Australian debate over whether to speak up for a smooth transition of power amid growing fears of violence if Donald Trump is thrown from office.

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd said the Morrison government should prepare to add its voice to global calls for all sides to respect the election result, saying a crisis would only help strategic rivals such as China and Russia.

But the US ambassador to Australia, Arthur Culvahouse, said leaders had taken an oath to defend the country's constitution and would respect the result.

Mr Trump has warned of fraud on polling day and declined to commit to stepping down if he loses to Democrat candidate Joe Biden.

Mr Rudd said Australia would usually avoid comment on internal electoral processes in other democracies but the Morrison government might have to take a different approach.

"If, however, a leading democracy begins to suspend its normal democratic processes, then I think it is incumbent on Australia to add its voice," he said. "And that's because the issues at stake for Australia are so fundamental. It will depend, of course, on the nature of the actual outcome.

"We cannot simply stand idly by while the good name of democracy gets flushed down the toilet."

Mr Rudd said the Australian national interest lay in defending the election result against any threats that undermined confidence in US democratic institutions and thereby helped rivals such as China and Russia.

"It would represent manna from heaven from the point of view of authoritarian capitalist systems around the world, principally China," he said of a disputed result.

"It would enable them to say, both at home and abroad, that the fountainhead of 20th century liberal democracy, the United States of America, has failed in its most elementary tests to ensuring a smooth transition of government."

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull also expressed concern over a potential refusal to hand over power.

"This is one of the reasons why people are becoming increasingly apprehensive about the way Trump is challenging, in a prospective manner, the legitimacy of the election," he said.

"Once you start challenging the legitimacy of your democratic processes, then you're basically undermining the legitimacy of your country, of your democracy."

Labor leader Anthony Albanese said the democratic process should be respected, although he did not name either presidential candidate.

"I am concerned at any questioning that occurs about democratic values and democratic processes," he said. "They are precious and they should not be undermined by any leader."

Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne responded with caution on October 23 when asked if she was confident Mr Trump would hand over power in an orderly way if he lost.

"What I can say, and what I absolutely believe, is that the Australian people and the Australian government are confident that we will have a very positive, very productive relationship with the United States continuing into the future, as we have for well over a century," Senator Payne told the ABC.

Mr Culvahouse, who was appointed ambassador by Mr Trump two years ago, expressed concern about the violence.

"The fact that people are planning for violence is concerning, I wish it weren't the case," he said at the US embassy in Canberra on Tuesday morning.

"But look, our '68 election, our '72 elections were very contentious. Politics in the US is a rough business, in part because we don't have compulsory voting so much of what's going on is to drive turnout.

"I've been involved in the hurly-burly and I can suggest counterparts to almost everything that's been said from back over the past 50 years.

"I don't think there'll be replication of the worst days of the '60s and '70s and that's my hope and my prayer."

The International Crisis Group this week said global leaders should prepare to call for a smooth transfer if Mr Trump lost the election.

"Trump might try to declare victory pre-emptively on November 3, claiming that only votes tabulated that day should count, and pressuring his foreign counterparts to recognise his purported success," wrote the group's president, Robert Malley, and senior director Stephen Pomper.

"They must resist doing so. Until one candidate concedes or the process has run its course, foreign officials should refrain from making any congratulatory calls.

"And should things take a turn for the worse, those with direct channels to Trump and his inner circle should send a clear message: 'If you interfere with the vote count or refuse to accept a peaceful transfer of power, you will be on your own'."

Mr Malley and Mr Pomper are former members of the Obama administration.

Australian leaders past and present congratulate Joe Biden on historic US election win

Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull tweeted “what a relief” after Joe Biden was declared to have defeated Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States.

Australian leaders past and present weighed in on the victory as the country woke up to the news on Sunday morning.

The race was called at about 3.30am Sunday AEDT.

There was a tense relationship between Mr Trump and Mr Turnbull, revealed in a heated phone call in 2017 during which the American President lashed a “dumb deal” struck between Mr Turnbull and Barack Obama.

The Washington Post published the complete transcript of the call, which became heated as the two men discussed the plan for the US to resettle refugees held on Manus Island and Nauru.

Australian prime minister Scott Morrison also tweeted on Sunday morning to congratulate the Democratic nominee on his victory and Kamala Harris who will be the first female Vice-President of the US.

Mr Morrison said he looked forward to working with the new Biden government.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese also congratulated Mr Biden and Ms Harris on their victory, saying it showed record support for a “progressive agenda” including action on the pandemic and climate change.

Mr Biden passed the required threshold of 270 electoral votes on Saturday morning, US time, after he was declared the winner in the key state of Pennsylvania.

But Mr Trump, who was golfing at the time the race was called, has so far not conceded defeat.

He has continued to repeat baseless claims about election fraud since the results began to tilt towards Mr Biden earlier this week.

“I am honoured and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in vice President-elect Harris,” Mr Biden said in a statement.

“In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America.

“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation.

“It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.”

US election 2020: Trump supporters need to accept defeat

TROY BRAMSTON - NOVEMBER 6, 2020

>NOVEMBER 6

1/2

Donald Trump’s disastrous, degraded and divisive presidency has been dispatched to history. This is the voters’ verdict which has delivered Joe Biden a large popular vote margin and a likely clear electoral college majority.

Biden’s victory is one for the ages. Trump’s defeat, after just one term, makes him what he fears most: a loser. He is only the third president to serve a full term and not win re-election since 1932. In the US, the expression “one-term president” is a catchphrase for a failed presidency.

Biden has played the role of president-elect with grace and dignity. He asked for all votes to be counted, urged his supporters to be patient and called for calm. He has been strong but not boastful. He is ready to be president and begin healing a divided nation.

Trump has been flailing like a dying king, desperately making false accusations of ballot fraud and unable to face up to the reality of losing. However, Trumpism will survive. But it is time for Trump supporters to accept the result: their man lost.

Biden won the popular vote by a whopping four million margin and perhaps as much as six million or seven million. It reflects the will of a majority of voters across the nation — mainstream Americans who decide elections. Biden has won more votes than any other presidential candidate in history.

An anti-Trump vote helps explain Biden’s win. Yet he built a broad coalition of support in states from east to west and north to south, coast-to-coast and from the rust belt to the sun belt. Biden will win Michigan and Wisconsin, and almost certainly Pennsylvania, by bigger margins than Trump did four years ago.

While Biden made inroads into Trump’s support, a partisan divide remains on age, class, gender and race. Democratic strongholds in cities and suburbs strengthened, as did the Republican dominance in rural America. There was no blue wave. But as the US becomes more diverse, thereby altering demographics, several red states are ­becoming more blue.

Biden winning Arizona and possibly Georgia, holding Nevada, and being competitive in Florida, North Carolina and Texas, could represent a new Democratic pathway to the presidency. If Trump had not trashed John McCain and John Lewis — two genuine American heroes — he may have done better in Arizona and Georgia.

The US is deeply divided. What form Trumpism now takes is uncertain. Will Trump remain the head of his movement and run again for president in 2024? Will he inaugurate a dynasty of Trump politicians? Or will Republicans wrest back control and purge the populist nativism, protectionism and xenophobia from its ranks?

In February, before the pandemic, I argued Trump was vulnerable and his re-election far from assured. Trump had historically low approval ratings and most Americans thought the country was on the wrong track. He deserved impeachment. But it was Trump’s catastrophic response to COVID-19 that sealed his fate.

Above all, Trump failed the presidential character test. Former cabinet and staff members concluded he was not up to the job. He demonstrated poor judgment, was a narcissist on steroids and had near-zero empathy for others. The dishonesty, malice, bullying, chaos and dysfunction fatigued voters. He had no respect for presidential norms or conventions, his predecessors or opponents, or the electoral process.

Trump’s autocratic instincts are beyond the pale. The founders who won a revolution and created a republic would be appalled. Calling for votes not to be counted and declaring the election “rigged” and “stolen” is anathema to the ideal of the US as a beacon for democracy.

The challenge for Democrats was to select an experienced and moderate candidate who could ­expand the party’s support. Biden was this candidate. Moreover, he is a man of integrity, dignity and compassion — the anti-Trump.

Biden’s immense challenge will be to heal the wounds of the Trump years and try to bring Americans together. It is a difficult task. But at least Americans will now have a president who respects the office and other institutions, and respects them.

I have never been a Trump supporter. His character defects and policy failures are manifest. His style of governing is a repudiation of great Republicans such as Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and the Bushes. Trump betrayed their legacy and diminished the office of the president.

I had little doubt Biden would win. Other Australian commentators were certain Trump would win and prematurely said he had won. My criticisms of Trump were evidently shared by a majority of US voters. I also put my money where my mouth is and made a sizeable wager with Sportsbet months ago. It paid very well.

Biden’s election means the US can return to a more normal presidency. Trump’s defeat shows most Americans are still striving, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, to live up to “the better angels” of their nature. It is the first step on the path towards redemption.
