Lots of other states (California, for example) are still counting too.

I wish they would call all 50 so we can get on with it.

But what's your rush? Joe Biden won the election.

Chill, my friend. The results are solid. Trump lost and we won with Biden.

The tallies need to be certified, then affirmed by the Electoral College and then accepted by the House of Representatives. The process is sound and seems to be holding.

As he song says, "Don't worry, be happy!"
