Who are watching this wretched convention and reporting back to DU. I'm not strong enough to do so myself.

Michigan allows for every citizen to cast a mail in vote. Every registered voter should have received a request for an absentee ballot. I am inclined to do so for ease and convenience. Also, I am guessing lines will be enormously long.

My understanding is that Michigan law will not allow for the mail in ballots to be counted until after in-person voting has concluded. I anticipate it could take days for Michigan to post "official" results. (Thank God our SOS and Attorney General are Democrats.)

I definitely anticipate Trump filing suit against the state for whatever dubious reason he and Barr can dream up.

Should I show up? I need to decide soon.

Please wake me on January 21 only if Biden is inaugurated. Otherwise, let me sleep. I am such a mix of rage and anxiety that I cannot do this any more. Our democracy is on the brink of collapse.

I will turn on MSNBC at 5 to have the talking heads break it to me gently.
