The Election Day Thread

NC with 95% processed has 283K outstanding votes, a 77K Trump edge and no deep wells for Biden votes. I consider NC gone.
 
I do wish elections' results would be announced all at once.

This drip drip drip is akin to death by a thousand cuts.

All round the world our democratic systems are in need of reform.
 
Mi is weird; they have 1.23M outstanding votes, 487K in Wayne county (Detroit).
Biden is down by ~217K votes, looking at Oakland, Kalamazoo, Ingham, there is no Michigan county with a deep enough reserve for Biden to individually flip stuff. That said it can still flip diffusely with counting of mail-in ballots.

Biden can win if he wins GA or MI. What's absurd is that right now GA looks more promising. Also, to date the senate looks worrisome. 46 Dem vs 47 Rep..

Better to have accuracy (which takes time) - and which would be more credible - than a rushed job of the counting that will be face subsequent legal challenges.

What stuns me, staggers me - no, stupefies me - is that so many people, voters, electors - knowing everything that they now know - still chose to vote for this moral monster.

Yes. I look at the numbers and frankly I am aghast. I am stunned that so many are voting for, as you say, "this moral monster".

My faith in basic human intelligence is reaching rock bottom.
 
Good news, Biden is closing in on Trump in Mi.
Now only down 64K and 951.3K votes are still left to count. Of these 342 are coming in from the Motorcity, where Biden has a 36% edge... So if Biden keeps that, Detroit will give him a 123K vote edge over Trump and take the lead! Ingham, and Oakland have enough reserves to offset additional Trump votes...

There is hope on this godforsaken planet!
 
Aghast barely begins to describe my appalled horror, @Arkitect.

You know, if Mr Biden wins, I think that we may have Covid to thank - even more than the increased turnouts of motivated women and people of colour.

Had Covid not happened - going on these numbers - I suspect that Mr Trump would have been on track for a comfortable return to office and would - I believe - have been re-elected relatively easily.

Agree. I suspect it will be Detroit that brings the monster down.
(Mi now within 25K margin)
 
I can’t believe this is even close. Dictator vs. democracy. It’s not hard, people.

Well I'm not at all fond of the fact that we in the USA have never acknowledged we need a truth and reconciliation process to wind up our first godblasted Civil War.

It's one thing to have a revolution and quite another to attempt to dissolve a federated republic.... and then both sides go on for over a hundred years glossing over the damage with different sets of ideas on who the injured parties really were, who they still are and how to bind up our wounds?

We are living proof these days that this approach does not work.

Well, this feeds into my belief that perhaps it’s time for the red and blue states to go their separate ways.

There’s a saying that we should let each man go to hell in his own way. That applies to states, too. I think our time would be better spent shoring up all the good parts of this country than continually squabbling with the bad.

I’d even say let the blue states have an immigration program for people from red states who want to relocate.

It's mind boggling. 2016, OK, "something new", Clinton baggage, <whatever>, voting for trump at least was an unknown - but now? With the last 4 years as a reference? And about 1/2 the country still votes for his deplorable POS?

I just can't even ...
