Election: Part Deux

 

 

Why, yes...I am a little FRAZZLED...why do you ask???

 

Woke at the butt-crack of noon. Stiff and sore. A bit disappointed in mankind...it should have NEVER been this close. And don't even think about eating or drinking. 

Even toast and water are too much right now.


Recovering.

Still no winner declared....

Eight states still counting.

Trump trying to declare victory at 3 AM...and even his own party having to remind him this is America and we don't declare until every vote is counted.


 

Besides the fact he only had 213 electoral votes at the time...and winning requires 270.

Biden had 227.

Although Trump's path to 270 is getting narrower and narrower...it is far from impossible right now. That is alarming to me.

And he is already lawyered up...because...well...Trump.

Politiphile, like me, our middle son and I chatted through the entire night and well into the wee hours.

Unlike me...he is this night-owl who will be sleeping until 5 or 6 PM...whereas eventually I had to get up today...the cat was getting worried.

I will update this page until this is over.

Eventually...a winner will be declared.

Right?

 More anon...
 

 4PM


Okay, here is the map and the deal-


The front-runner at 248 electoral votes, Joe Biden...having just won Wisconsin



The Senate is now 46-48...and our chances slipping for flipping it. Still possible...but much less likely.

 

More as we know...


4:30 PM


Break out the champagne...we just won Michigan!!!!


We are at 264...and only need 6 more electoral votes!
