As you all celebrate or commiserate, please help us out by reporting comments that spread misinformation or incite violence.

A few facts for you all:

• Voter fraud is incredibly rare. The conservative Heritage Foundation looked for fraud over a 36-year period and could only find 1285 cases out of nearly two billion votes cast - a rate of 0.00007%.

• There are election observers in every room where ballots are counted and there are livestreams of most of these counting areas. Yes, this includes Philadelphia, where the Trump Campaign had to admit in court that they had observers in the room.

• Mail-in ballots are legal votes. Those ballots must be cast and post-marked by Election Day. We have been using mail-in ballots since the Civil War, and in 2016, 25% of votes were cast by mail.

congrats to OP for all of the awards they're about to get.

[u/throwawaynumber53 → u/[deleted]]

RIP my inbox. It's been 45 minutes and I already have FIVE YEARS of reddit premium!

Edit: Coming up on two hours and I'm up to over 9 years of reddit premium!

[u/Swords_Not_Words → u/[deleted]]

OP: I'm rich, bitch!

[u/throwawaynumber53 → u/Swords_Not_Words]

Enjoy this platinum on me.

Sincerely,

Someone who is rich, bitch!

[u/dombatoe → u/throwawaynumber53]

Damn, this guy rly just giving out platinums.

[u/SendEldritchHorrors → u/[deleted]]

OP beat the rest of us to it lmao

[u/throwawaynumber53 → u/SendEldritchHorrors]

I was legit shocked that in the 30 seconds between me seeing the AP post the article and me logging on to reddit, no one beat me to it.

[u/KnD_Mythical → u/throwawaynumber53]

So how many reddit coins do you have now?

[u/throwawaynumber53 → u/KnD_Mythical]

Over 38,000, so enjoy the gold on me!

Edit: I've gotten over 50,000 coins now and more than 10 YEARS of Reddit Premium. OMG.

Edit 2: Holy shit 200k upvotes, puts this in the top 10 upvoted post of all time. OMG.

Edit 3: And up to 11.5 years after a third Ternion award, Jesus Christ that thing's $125 please don't give that money to reddit, give it to a charity that deserves it, not a corporation!

Edit 4: Now approaching 300,000 upvotes! And I’m up to 14 years, two months of premium, and I’ve still got 60,000 coins despite giving out thousands already. If you’re excited, please consider giving to a good cause today. Everyone is struggling from COVID and your money is going further than ever at most charities and nonprofits.

Edit 5: Been 24 hours now, looks like this will end up the #3 upvoted Reddit post of all time, thankfully not beating The Senate or Rick Astley. Currently at 15 years, six months, and five days of Reddit Premium, with over 80,000 coins gained in total. Hell of a day.

[u/pm_me_cute_sloths_ → u/[deleted]]

I had the O/U of upvotes at 300k and awards at 10k, I’m smashing the over all day on those bets.

The man is going to have Reddit premium for life. Can’t say I’m not jealous tbh. Life of no ads on Reddit sounds heaven

Edit: looks like Reddit did the Reddit Hug of Death on itself

Might have to adjust the O/U to 500k and 100k awards

[u/throwawaynumber53 → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

I'm just sitting here looking at my notifications like "oh damn"

[u/CLint_FLicker → u/[deleted]]

I'm just here to be part of Reddit's highest upvoted post

[u/firensmoke]

Congratulations USA! From Brazil, I hope Bolsonaro is the next to fall.

[u/qwerty12qwerty]

Fox News just called it a couple minutes ago, so you know it's real

[u/MMoney2112 → u/qwerty12qwerty]

Fox News called it almost 20 minutes after everyone else lol

[u/miden24 → u/qwerty12qwerty]

You know it’s been real when Fox called Arizona before anyone else lol

[u/Bigred2989-]

"You were expecting Nevada to decide the election, BUT IT WAS ME, PENNSYLVANIA!"

[u/paulbutterjunior → u/Bigred2989-]

Trump: HO HO HO, you approach me!

Biden: I can't beat you without getting closer!!

[u/guy_incognito784 → u/Bigred2989-]

I’m hoping Nevada finishes counting that one single county by the time Biden is inaugurated.

EDIT: Biden won Nevada...they finally counted enough votes...

[u/MoRicketyTick]

Is it 100% confirmed, as in nothing can take this away?

[u/neutralityparty]

He got beaten by Obama's vp. It came back full circle.

Edit : rip inbox

[u/shrek2isreallygood → u/neutralityparty]

His catchphrase was “you’re fired” and now that’s trending on twitter. Full circle indeed

[u/ughnamesarehard]

Fucking THANK YOU Pennsylvania the wait was driving me insane.

[u/colonelmuddypaws → u/ughnamesarehard]

I live in Pittsburgh. Folks are going bananas right now. Driving around waving American flags, chanting USA, cheering in the streets

[u/sinvis]

I didn't even need to check to know because NYC was cheering/ screaming/ honking haha

 

Edit: Unfortunately, I didn't take any videos. There are a lot on /r/nyc (sort by new too) though!

[u/[deleted] → u/sinvis]

That happened outside my window and my roommate was like no way the two are connected

[u/[deleted] → u/sinvis]

Same. Found out in Chicago because the streets were suddenly swarmed with people cheering, honking, banging pots and pans.

[u/TheInsaneDump]

The amount of cheering, car honking, and claps here in NYC is breathtaking!!!!! Congratulations!

[u/Red5point1]

Trump is fuming on twitter #youarefired trending

[u/XanatosSpeedChess → u/Red5point1]

Trump: “Joe, you can’t just declare yourself President-Elect.”

Joe. : “When you win the Electoral College, they let you do it.”

[u/Burgergold → u/Red5point1]

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!

Looking at the electoral votes: 290 vs 214 for Biden

Looking at the popular vote: 74,857,880 (50.6%) vs 70,598,535 (47.7%) for Biden

[u/WurstThrowEver]

“Hey Donald, you’re fired.”

-America

[u/bored2death97]

As a Canadian, I am happy for our neighbours.

[u/Delusional_unicorn → u/bored2death97]

As a Canadian, I'm so thankful to our neighbours. We're exhausted of watching this shit show from a far. Can we soon turn on our TV and stop hearing about this asshole already?

[u/PaulDisneyWorld]

And Trump is playing golf when the announcement was made. How fitting!

[u/cgvet9702 → u/PaulDisneyWorld]

CBS just said it's his 209th golf outing since he was sworn in.

[u/[deleted] → u/PaulDisneyWorld]

How iconic

[u/StayAtHomeDM]

I live in PA, and have never voted for a Democrat before. I'm so glad I did this time.

[u/lankey62 → u/StayAtHomeDM]

Same here but in GA! As someone who leans conservative, the words the Lincoln Project guys ring true with me; “with Joe Biden, there will be disagreements, but at least we can have HAVE a disagreement!

Happy to have a president who will work for every citizen!

[u/accidentalquitter → u/StayAtHomeDM]

THANK YOU! As a fellow PA native, I’m so proud :) thank you thank you thank you.

[u/[deleted]]

I lost my mom to covid last night. Watching Donald ripped from the white house and torn apart by lawsuits and investigations screaming and failing the entire time, while it won't fill the void of my loss, it will surely help in the grieving process.

[u/hmwarren06]

Trump will finally know what this year has been like for the rest of us... He's broke, losing his job, and about to be evicted.

[u/LaggyScout]

People are cheering across the rooftops here in NYC. It's the best feeling since March to hear a city celebrate and not just survive

Edit: Very happy to hear about everyone else's city erupting too. Can report from a friend that Mill Valley (north of SF) is also rocking at the moment

Second Edit: Sorry, I didn't think to take a video. I put down my phone pretty early on as I wanted to clap as much as possible -- anyway, a video from my perspective would just be hearing me hollering like an idiot. Big shout out to the pot banging family on the other side of Broadway who waved back and danced with us! Lastly, for those who cannot celebrate out in the streets for whatever reason, you're welcome to the party in this thread. I have family in law that are in a similar situation so they've mostly plopped down with a big fry up breakfast!

Third Edit: Thank you very much for my first reddit awards. I'd give the spiel about money being better used elsewhere but I am going to pretend that these are the free gifts that reddit keeps trying to hook people with. Big shout out to u/leaveittobever who came in clutch with the video from Chicago! It's basically what my experience was but with a better view and less pots and pans. Can't thank everyone enough for all the wonderful replies about their cities -- a nice reminder of what social media was supposed to and can still be. Y'all have made my day twice as nice

[u/Philodemus1984 → u/LaggyScout]

Same here in Philly. I don’t think I’ve felt such wholesome good vibes in this city.

[u/trillabyte]

Now let’s fix the system before a competent fascist actually does takeover! The unwritten rules have to be actual rules.

[u/reigorius → u/trillabyte]

This. It's obvious a more devious, clever president can do a lot of destruction to gain whatever he's after.

[u/themmchanges]

Trump's opinions will be completely irrelevant now, that's so beautiful

[u/tehreal → u/themmchanges]

I think he is still going to have a big following

[u/Rebelgecko]

White smoke coming from AP HQ. Habemus praesides.

[u/batrakhos → u/Rebelgecko]

*habemus praesidem

[u/cosmosv2]

As a Georgia voter. I truly feel like my vote made a difference this time.

[u/TheRealMattyPanda → u/cosmosv2]

Also a Georgia voter. Same.

But the work's not done. We can't Falcons this in the run-offs.

[u/cheesepuff311 → u/cosmosv2]

Thank you for voting! I hope going forward we all realize how important voting is and keep at it.

[u/TheDevilsAgent → u/cosmosv2]

As a Florida voter I'm embarrassed Georgia is now more progressive than Florida.

[u/BudgetProfessional]

Thank you Philadelphia and Atlanta for saving the fucking country

[u/Babbylon → u/BudgetProfessional]

And Detroit. Cant wait to visit.

[u/Vaypoure]

Cool, now the real work starts.

[u/dalyon → u/Vaypoure]

The majority republican senate: "No"

[u/Miramber → u/Vaypoure]

So much of the next 2-4 years depends on the run-off senate races in Georgia now.

[u/imunique1543]

I'm sure Trump will now realise he's lost, and graciously step down!

[u/jtinz → u/imunique1543]

Fox News and the rest of Murdoch's media is asking him to do exactly that. So maybe.

[u/this_will_go_poorly → u/imunique1543]

As usual, he is golfing

[u/Cartoon_Cartel → u/imunique1543]

"Maybe I was wrong and premature to declare victory on election night, this is clearly the wish of the people and I should ensure this transition is as smooth as possible"- Trump I assume

[u/NinePointEight-]

Finally 2020 turns around

Joe Bye-Don

[u/Oooooooooooohdaddy]

I’ve been hopping in and out of r/Conservative all day, shit is HILARIOUS over there. Every other comment is “well the republicans wont throw a tantrum for four years like the Dems have”

Ok buddy.

[u/ABucs260]

But all The Trumpers told me Biden was doomed because of the attendance of his rallies

[u/cosmosv2 → u/ABucs260]

Maybe if so many people didn't attend Trump's Corona virus spreading rallies more of them would have been alive to vote for him.

[u/nicknack24 → u/ABucs260]

I had somebody tell me because Trump has 30 milliln facebook likes he’ll always get re-elected.

20K comments. No one will read this, but. . I am a 63 year old who watched Ronald Reagan slaughter my mother by cutting her off of social security. I can speak firsthand about republican indifference for the common citizen. What has happened in the last 10 months has illustrated this once again. Thank you everyone who got out and voted for America. Thank you everyone who worked on the election. Thank you mom for the hard lesson. Go USA!

[u/pluckypariah]

What a beautiful morning.

[u/douglasmacarthur]

Finally

[u/danielr2e]

This election may have a subtle lesson of political theory that maybe it isn't a great idea to always be a massive piece of shit all the time about everything.

[u/mod_abuse → u/danielr2e]

It worked the first time

[u/SendEldritchHorrors → u/danielr2e]

Even with Trump's shittiness, he still managed to amass 70 million+ votes from the American public, and I think that's something we have to consider going forward.

[u/Stormpax]

Those giving awards to this post, please please please consider donating those funds to the special election happening in GA with Jon Ossof and Raphael Warnock. If we can get a senate majority and ditch Moscow Mitch, we may actually be able to see real change.

Donate to Ossof here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/social2_2020_10_05_ro_tjo?refcode=social2

Donate to Warnock here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/wfg-social?refcode=enight

If unsure who to donate to, I would recommend Stacy Abram's organization as well: https://fairfight.com/

She was responsible for flipping GA blue during the election by registering 800k voters.

Proud Canadian citizen here,

For all +72 million of you that voted....I owe each and very one of you a HUGE leg hump!! I’m extremely happy for your country. May the next 4 years of your democratic process/leadership, be peaceful and productive. Good luck!!

[u/calculatedoops]

Republican second. But Patriot first. I am happy and relieved Biden won.

[u/WALLOFKRON]

ITS NOT OVER! REDDITORS OF GEORGIA. YOU HAVE A MASSIVELY HUGE SENATE RUN OFF ELECTION!

Get all your friends out to vote for the DEM candidates. This could help the Dem presidency massively. If the Republican senators win in Georgia. McConnell having control of the senate means that he will block anything he wants. DONT LET THAT HAPPEN!

Edit: details for the run-off election below: January 5th, but it seems that their will be vote early mail-in ballot as well. https://georgia.gov/vote-2020-runoff-elections

This is SO CRUCIAL to our democracy and the success of the Biden administration. Whichever party has control over the Senate puts in place a 'Majority leader' and with Mitch McConnell as the senate majority leader, he has had control over what the Senate chooses to vote on and he has ABUSED that power to no end. He tabled almost every Corona Relief stimulus bill that the House(democrat controlled) passed and refuses to take other very critical bills to vote on in the Senate. This goes back to the Obama administration. McConnell was crucial in rushing the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett through the senate confirmation, while a corona relief bill sat on his desk, which is still sitting there because Trump told him not to vote on it before the election.

[u/skape69]

I'm French and i'm so glad Trump is finally fired ! Must be such a relief for you American friends !

[u/LiberalDomination]

So this is what good news feels like ? But it never should have been this close - even in the electoral college.

Close to 70 million Americans saw a president:

- extort foreign countries to smear his opponent

-that paid $750 in US taxes, but hundreds in thousands for taxes in foreign countries, and 130k given to strippers

- that encouraged violence against protesters and regularly defends killer cops

-that mismanaged an epidemic so badly that 300k excess americans died.

- that regularly gets laughed at on the world stage

- that packed the courts with partisan hacks.

- a president that was ok with bounties placed on US soldiers

- whose administration had higher turnover than a McDonalds restaurant

but wait theres more !

-that was friends with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and wished Ghislaine Maxwell to do well

- that played war games with Iran leading to the deaths of dozens of Canadian citizens

-that kept untold many children in cages, separating them from their families

-that broke most of his main promises. No wall that mexico paid for, no resurgence of coal plants, etc

-that has a history of racism including spreading conspiracy theories about Obama's birth certificate, calling for the execution of the central park five (black men that were innocent!),

And said...yup I want four more years of that !

[u/yellowstickypad]

I just want to say how refreshing it was to have someone addressing the nation that sounded intelligent and not a man child.

[u/Siege-Torpedo]

Joe Biden ran for President three times, lost a wife and two kids to different tragedies, and is going to work to the age of eighty-two when retirement age is sixty-five. He finally won. That's persistence right there. That's American.

I love the Conservative subs trying to pretend like they don't care. Also saying stupid shit like "where are our riots"? After Trump mobs tried to storm ballot counting centers and threatened violence against poll workers.

[u/[deleted]]

BAWWWW THE AP DOESNT DECIDE THE ELECTION!

They didn't, the voters did. The AP just told you what the vote counts say.

[u/positronic_brain87]

Wait he went through that whole speech without attacking people, spouting conspiracy theories, or ranting about himself and how amazing he is. Is that okay? Is that what presidents sound like? I've forgotten over the past four years.

[u/SubcommanderMarcos]

Hi, Brazilian here. Is it real? Is it really happening? Do we have a chance now to maybe be rid of all the fascists who rose to power under his influence? Can we... can we dream? Can I dream again of a world without Bolsonaro justifying his every atrocity because of Trump? I never liked Biden, but it just feels so surreal and incredible to think that Trump might be gone now, at least for now. Just... what?

That’ll do, Joe.

That’ll do.

It’s almost like a few people were waiting in angst for some decision on the matter

[u/[deleted]]

My favorite takeaway from all of this has been a co-worker saying "If you voted for Biden and not Trump, you are a pussy" - but the context of this is, we are in a construction contractor breakroom on lunch and we are the only non-union workers there among unions of iron workers, pipefitters, and carpenters so I think he expected a bunch of them to be like "Yeah!" and instead a bunch of them stood up and grabbed his shit and threw it out the door.

[u/L0RDatomic]

I did the math - u/throwawaynumber53 has 6227 days/204 months/17 years of Reddit Premium (Which is worth $849.83 or £605.47)

He has earnt 155,350 coins (Which is worth $395.91 or £282)

11,100 coins have been gifted to the community (Which is worth $33.95 or £24.19)

He has been gifted 11,018 awards (The most in Reddit history)

These awards cost 2,575,070 Reddit Coins, meaning that everyone spent $6393.85, or £4458.85 - with this you could buy 111,471 and 1/4 carrots. (According to Tesco, carrots cost 4 pence each)

On Average, a tin of Heinz Beans contains 465 beans. A tin is £0.85 or $1.19, meaning one bean costs, on average, 0.18 pence. This means that with £1 you can buy 549.5 Baked Beans. This also means that with the money everyone spent on awards, you could buy a whopping 2,450,138 Baked Beans. 1 Baked Bean is approximately 832mm Cubed / 0.83cm Cubed/0.00000083 Cubic Meters. 0.00000083 x 2,450,138 = 2.036 Cubic Metres.

A Hot-Tub holds 320 Gallons, or 1.45 Cubic Meters. A Microwave holds 40 Litres, or 0.04 Cubic Meters.

2.036 - 1.45 = 0.586

This means that you can fill 15 Microwaves and one Hot Tub with all of the Beans (If you squished them all together.)

TL;DR .If all the Redditors who spent money on this post spent money on baked beans instead, they would be able to fill a hot tub and 15 microwaves w/ the beans.

Yes I did the math.

Dear 17-year-olds who live in Georgia: if you'll turn 18 by January 5, 2021, you're eligible to vote in the run-off election that will be held on that date. You have until December 7 to register to vote. (Copied from a Cheryl Strayed tweet.)

Pass it on.

I did not believe Biden would win. I thought that the cult of personality would prevail and that our democracy had finally found its match.

This is a massive win for for the United States, which has suffered greatly under Trump's mismanagement and corruption. It is also a beacon of hope for many other nations beleaguered by populist, racist, nationalism bought by large corporate interests and Russian operatives. The liberal order of the world is not yet dead.

Congrats to Biden.

Biden about to come in to the daunting task of cleaning Trump’s crap just like a parent would do to a baby.

[u/sideswipem]

I just want to comment on what a dumb, lousy loser Trump is. Probably one of the biggest losers and failures in history. He will be remeber as an orange oaf.

it’s refreshing to hear a decent human speak as POTUS again.

as a Vancouverite (Canada) i’m genuinely happy for y’all and from the sound of it i will be having sonic tots in the near future.

Trump got a full dose of 2020: got covid, lost his job, and got a notice of eviction.

Good. Now keep voting. Primaries, local elections, the works. Keep America great by using your American rights.

I am celebrating on the inside. My Trumper roommates have been more and more aggressive as the election came closer.

[u/Fred8Ross]

Nice to hear your leader use the word love, been a while. Congrats USA.

While Trump is throwing a fit on Twitter right now, we also need to keep in mind what his supporters are likely to do.

We already know that they’re willing to kill people for their dear dictator, as showed by Patrick Crusius (El Paso), Cesar Sayoc (2018 mail bombing attempts), and anyone involved in the attempt to run a Biden campaign bus off the road.

These people are not to be taken lightly, nor are they to be trusted to just accept the results, much like their president. They are violent, and eager to murder. I’ve seen some mentions on Instagram of these monsters going out to hurt POC and LGBT members if Trump lost, apparently confirmed by group chat screenshots. While it’s not completely confirmed, it’s better to be safe than sorry

Please be careful.

Now we can all collectively exhale for the first time in years... but there is another election in just a few months that’s is arguably JUST AS IMPORTANT as the presidential election.

It’s time to start throwing money at Ossoff and Warnock in Georgia. If you want this to be and EFFECTIVE and PROGRESSIVE presidency it’s so important that they win and flip the senate.

The fact that republicans are screaming for the Supreme Court to overturn 4 states to give trump the win shows you how deranged they’ve become

[u/Zadiuz]

Hopefully, as a Republican, if we have learned anything this election with how close Texas was, it's about damn time we become more socially progressive and drop the abortion and anti homosexual rhetoric. We need to be able to compete in the future to earn the votes of the majority of Americans. Moderates who do not want a fool like Trump, but also don't want the extremism we sometimes see on both the left and the right.

OUR VOTES MATTER!! Let’s keep this up, y’all.

Us Canadians no longer have to deal with our "best ally" trying to drunkenly punch us in the face every other day anymore.

For the love of God America, never again.
