Mb biding their time and not rushing for a reason. Which may be biding for Biden.

😁

Mb leery of disruption like what's cropping up.

Edited to correct.

But nearly impossible to guess how many were actually filled out and sent in.

My hopes are low.

yet to be counted. Last day of counting is November 12th. Both countries lean blue. We could have a sweet surprise with Biden for president. Cunningham was losing to Tillis last time I checked but there are many, many more votes to be counted. And if you are from or live in North Carolina you know nobody rushes anything. It will be a while before we get the results.

There will be some late arriving mail in ballots, maybe even 70-100,000 -- probably fewer. Unlikely that they will affect the results in any significant way. Would love a surprise.

Chance wise I wouldn’t want it all to come down to North Carolina.

And that dint manifest. So now we're faced with waiting and God knows what else. I figured we'd have a solid answer[s] by this time.

I'm upset that it has come to this.

On the other hand, cheers and blessings to all Dems who did their very best in all of this which I feel was def unprecedented.
