More than a million people die

8 billion people /100 years life expectancy / 52 weeks in a year = ~1.5 million
Seems like too much of a sure thing?

Even if we wanted something like 2m deaths in the week, where would numbers be available to resolve this?

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ shows 22.4 million deaths this year approx 15 weeks so my rough calculation above seems in agreement with this.

Donald Trump says that the election was rigged

Do comments like he made in 2016 ("President-elect Donald Trump alleged Sunday, without evidence, that “millions of people” voted illegally for Hillary Clinton") count?

The media refuse to call the election until every state has at least 99% of precincts reporting

@HarryHayfield Is this referring to the presidential race or would something like a late House call count too?

@SaviorofPlant The Presidential Race

Combined votes for all third-party candidates exceeds 3% in at least one state

Presidential candidates, to clarify

Donald Trump declares victory
bought Ṁ20 Donald Trump declare... YES

Does anyone seriously expect Trump to concede?

@TimothyJohnson5c16 I am also baffled that people are bidding this down
