allow Donald Trump to be declared the winner of the state, and give the electoral votes to him, and Joe Biden will just have to wait for other states to give him the last six electoral votes for 270.

Is that what you mean?

I will be so glad when I can breathe again. It's been a long 4 years. And now the tension is really up there.

But we jusy need to hold on for a few days or maybe even hours. We have just about made it.

And it's looking good for us.

and haven't really missed all that much. Take a break. Clean the basement/apt/yard/utility drawer. Take up a new dangerous hobby. Anything to not have to watch one more morning turd backhanding of dems.

Really, it's cleansing.

It has Pa. lean Blue, that is really good. It is like a baseball game, the bottom of the 9th, the game is tied, our team is up, bases loaded, one of our best hitters at bat and the count is 3 balls and no strikes.

Relax, we got this.

My little County of Monroe still has 30,000 to open and count by hand. They are saying they won't be finished until tomorrow. Trump is still ahead, despite the County has more Democrats than Republicans.

And people should be able to express that anxiety and receive some empathy. This is a community as well as a source of information.

So long as these are votes from legally registered voters, then they must be counted.

It will be a relief to knock this one off our "things to be anxious about" list.

Pennsylvania is actually looking very good for Biden because the in-person votes here, as in other states, go disproportionately Republican and the votes they are counting now are going strongly for Biden.

I hope the doctor's appointment goes well. It's awful to see our partners suffer in pain.
