    And the press is up in arms. If there’s nothing, wouldn’t you want Trumps own people to confirm that the election was legitimate?

    In CA, it clearly is center/left, and probably on the NE coast and Washington as well. Oregon is off the charts left, but more on that later. I’d imagine, the South, the Midwest, and the Southwest are more center/right. So center/right vs center/left is all from one’s vantage point.

    Now for Oregon, with it’s passage of legalizing cocaine, heroin, and other hard drugs, the push for no prisons and no police, they’ve completely lost it. It’s so bad now, even left leaning sports talk show guys are openly ridiculing the state. Tolbert, Kruger and Brooks yesterday were crushing Oregon’s ridiculousness, even to the point that they wouldn’t allow their kids to go to school there and they would think twice about visiting the state, even driving through. Actually, they were pretty funny with their abuse.

    As for Neo’s question, I would choose freedom. With freedom, I could also push for equality. With equality, I might not be free.

    It is not done on request. This year, went out to everyone in CA. Folks went door to door collecting them, as well. And not just in CA. . . .

    There seem to be a lot of irregularities in PA and MI especially, GA perhaps as well.

    The pit in my stomach was indeed a soothsayer. . . .

    I’m not a tin hat person. That said, watching the returns today in Michigan, I was stunned by the reversal in fortunes for James. With 96% of the vote in, he has a 23k vote lead (about 5.5 million total voters). With 98% of the vote in, he’s behind by 60k, then loses.

    I find it statistically surprising that a close race statewide swings so heavily towards the end, with an 87%to 13% tilt. Even more surprising, is that James is African American and the incumbent Dem is an old white guy, and one would think he’d do better than average in heavily Black precincts.

    As I posted several days before the election, I had little faith in our voting process. I have less now.

    Okay, Michigan has swung 80k votes with the last 2% being reported. That’s about 87% to 13%. Amazing.

    I’m really excited about a Nikki Haley / Kristi Noem ticket. . . .

    And not surprisingly, Peters (D) ahead in Michigan by 5500 votes. . . .

    Guess you missed the report on Fox live from the vote counting center in Detroit. Apparently, it’s not a equal number of Dems and Repubs certifying the absentee votes, and interestingly someone actually taped paper on the windows to hinder the public from viewing. Amazing.

    It’s over for Trump. The betting odds are now 5-1 in favor of Biden. Even the talking heads on Fox are commenting that Covid killed Trump. His poor handling of the pandemic, at least as hammered home by Biden and the MSM, really hurt.

    My opinion is that the pandemic hurt Trump in a different way. No one is excited about Biden and turnout at polling stations would have been disastrous for  the Dems. However, with all the mail in ballots, and subsequent ballot harvesting, the Dems did a great job of pushing that effort and getting unexcited Dems to vote (one way or another).

    No perspectives this morning?

    Looks like the Dems ability to drive the absentee ballots made a huge impact in the race. Some might call it ballot harvesting, but . . . .

    Thanks. Looks to be a couple of senate losses so far. Not looking good for the republicans.

    Ohio looks really tough at this point, just the sheer numbers. Are the cities in and the rural vote is still out?

    Not able to watch. Just results as they come in via the phone. Looks really bad in Ohio and Texas. What are the talking heads saying? North Carolina, too.
