which is a better response:

something about "if republicans had any regard for good faith, the election would already be called "

or

"you say you can't imagine the remaining adultS in his camp as if there's more than one"
You think the election should already be called for Biden?

I am confused by your comment....
The election would already (rightly) be called for Biden if GOP state legislatures in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin hadn't intentionally set up this exact scenario by prohibiting early counting.

The chaos was the point. Supporting exceedingly stupid and dictatorial claims of "fraud" was the point. The bottomless bad faith was the point.
Honest question: is this the way they always do it? (Not allowing early counting)

I don't know. In any case, this was always going to be an election like we haven't seen before, from a mail-in and early vote perspective. This exact scenario was inevitable, and easy to prevent. They intentionally made it worse.

Not confident at this point but still optimistic based on what remains to be counted. If Biden hangs on in Nevada and Wisconsin and wins Michigan then my one little electoral win in NE District 2 decides the election by getting Biden from 269 to 270. Crazy.

What would be hilarious is if PA doesn’t end up mattering. Trump has directed most of his attacks there.

I think Biden is going to win it before Pennsylvania is even decided.

Man. This is the wildest 12+ hours in an election that I’ve ever witnessed. Just insane.

Us folks here in IL are actually claiming it was our electoral votes that put him over the top. 😉

Which is as worthless as being the #1 overall seed in an NCAA tournament that you don't win.

Thankfully popular vote and electoral vote look like it may both go to Biden, so we don't have to hear bitching about that for the next 4 years.

Some weird hijinks for sure. The senate standing in the way of reform hurts all Americans. Hoping for some measure of equality there.

I would say the same thing for Maine's 1st district.
