OK, I just woke up.

Where are we? Give it to me straight. I know Moscow Mitch won. I know Leningrad Lindsey won. Fucking Susan Collins Won. How much worse does it get? Do not tell me Trump is ahead. That is something I cannot take.

What is the good news?

Collins may go to a runoff, which would be very good.

Biden pulled ahead in WI and is much closer in MI. PA still has a lot to count. GA still has a good chance.

Things are holding together so far, with duct tape and superglue and paper clips, but still together.

However, it makes me tired before it gets me very drunk, so I am not able to stay awake for it all.

6. Good for you for waking up. Lools like we will get WI and MI but close. Collins under 50% so

puts her at stake. I think with WI and MI Biden wins and that leave Penn and GA which are likely and NC still is in question.

13. Some are saying she is back at 50% so it would depend where she is sitting now.

But if she is under 50% then yes, there is a chance she will not win.

I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I just want the nightmare to end.

NYT here

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-president.html

I think the consensus here is: Votes have to be counted, Polls stupid, and also so many Americans who voted for tRump, and tRump saying he won.

just a little down but remaining somewhat hopeful. But something seems to be off, polls or just tRump proclaiming he has won, or to stop counting ballots. I don't know I want Joe to win.

They just need to count votes.
