We're good in NV, so if Biden gets GA, that means he'll only need WI, and that's 270. Someone check my arithmetic, please. I just played that game and that combo would win. Alright! So we have 3 paths: (1) NV, GA, WI (2) NV, WI, MI (3) WI, MI, PA |

I mean, if Trump is casting doubts on the voting count, whose to say we can't as well? What areas did we expect to go blue that didn't? How old is McConnell? He looks like he's melting, so how much longer can he last?
Is the post office still declining to cooperate with the order by a DC judge to sweep the distribution centers for mail in votes in areas where the return of requested ballots is suspiciously low? DeJoy needs to be jailed. I have 2 packages that have been in Baltimore which is less than an hour away for a week. I can't help but feel like the mail got throttled somehow.

I’ve never followed them before for election coverage and I notice other sites don’t have Biden at 238. But I like the information provided, the way to toggle options and that the US map doesn’t freeze on me! |

I am sitting here in the dark and trying not to cry and throw up at the same time. I am horrified that it's this close. I am scared. I am anxious. I am so very sad and disappointed. I do not know how we as a country have come to this and I don't think we'll ever recover from it. I fully expect that if he wins again we will see a dramatic rise in domestic terrorism and I think we will see more international terrorism make its way here too. He incites rage and hate and then feeds it. We should be ashamed of ourselves as a nation.  |

It’s not looking like we turned enough in the Senate. 😭😭😭 Biden winning, but GOP Senate is not something anyone prepared the country for. It may be even worse then if Trump won. I say that because I think a GOP Senate under Trump would eventually vote for some kind of additional COVID stimulus, but McConnell will never give Biden that victory. |

The deadline has been extended and they are due in court tomorrow to explain themselves basically. That’s the last I heard. |

More Americans than in 2016 willingly signed up for the worst leadership imaginable.” Thats truly mind numbing and depressing in equal measure Right? At least in 2016 there was less (but still a lot) proof of who he was and how he’d do as President. But it’s been 3.75 years of daily evidence that he is criminally ill-equipped to handle this job, how he is dividing our nation, and tearing apart our democracy (I know, I know CR). And don’t get me started on the corruption... |

“Republican David Andahl, who died from COVID-19 in October, has been elected to the North Dakota House of Representatives”
This is happening in the USA. In 2020.

It looks like Biden has pulled ahead in Wisconsin, but it’s a nail biter. Milwaukee is in, but absentee ballots in Green Bay and Kenosha are still being counted. They think they will favor Biden but not as much as the Milwaukee votes.

No one else that I’m watching has Arizona (11) or Maine (1) called yet and I can’t figure out the other 3 votes that are missing. It was nice watching Nevada and Wisconsin go to mostly blue! |
