1. Here is @ballotpedia on when absentee/mail-in ballots can be counted. A lot of Blue states are likely to skew towards same day in-person. Like MN. So Trump could lead early.

Here's why I think @GOPLeader McCarthy is trying to block an early call.

ballotpedia.org/When_states_ca…
2. I think North Carolina may report at 7:30 pm. Even if PA is still in play, if WI and MI look like going to Biden, NC might be game over for Trump. Biden could loose PA, FL, AZ, IA and ME 2nd and still have 273.
3. And Texas may report when their polls close. And with the absentee/mail-in all counted. So if Biden is leading they may call it at 9:00pm EDT when for El Paso and Hudspeth Counties on mountain time close. Most if not all mail in counted. Only had about 10% mail-in.
4. Though TX shows Trump with a slight lead, the anecdotal evidence of turnout looks very good for Biden. McCarthy may have internals polls that are causing concern. Could impact down ballot in AZ, KS and AK

5. If their play is to litigate PA, it has to still be relevant. NC is looking like a key state for the psychological impact on election night while AZ and AK are still voting.

1. Why Trump's lawyers might want to think twice. First, DeJoy has exposed the entire crew to conspiracy to interfere with the US mail. They all agreed to it and when he did it, he committed a crime. If he's pardoned that's an admission of his guilt. Everyone who knew of the
2. plan and its purpose, is conspirator the moment DeJoy committed an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. At that moment you went all in for the whole conspiracy. Foreseeable crimes including money laundered to pay lawyers to execute the plan will implicate the Koch
3. Machine. If a person gets killed by Trump's armed terrorist troops at polls then every lawyer owns a conspiracy to commit murder charge. And they will be charged and even if they beat it they will be held in the lockup pending trial for at least a year.

1. In the 2018 midterms, total turnout for Senate race was
8,371,655. @BetoORourke lost by about 215,000. Texas is at 9,042,066. 670,411 more than 2018. And the Election is on Tuesday. Get your ballots in to a drop box. And vote in person safely if you haven't already. @mjhegar
2. I'm putting up a Lone Star flag if we take Texas. @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris
3. Texas has 11,634,000 registered voters. As of today 9,041,066 votes makes it 78% of all registered voters have voted four days before the election. They may hit 90% of registered voters. That's utterly insane. And in all the years I have studied politics there was on constant:

1. A torrent of Democratic absentee ballots could reverse Alaska’s election night vote counts adn.com/politics/2020/…
2. "More than 75,000 Alaskans have already cast absentee ballots in this year’s election — nearly one-fourth of the total number of votes cast in the state in the last presidential election, in 2016.
3. State elections officials say they won’t start counting those absentee ballots until a week after Election Day — meaning that Alaskans could be in for a long wait before they learn the final results of congressional and state legislative races.

1. Why did Putin order his puppet @POTUS @realDonaldTrump to take the red and white off of Old Glory?

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan interpreted the colors this way:

"The colors of our flag signify the qualities of the human spirit we Americans cherish.
2. Red for courage and readiness to sacrifice; white for pure intentions and high ideals; and blue for vigilance and justice."
3. Trump now turns it all blue to show his affinity with corrupt police officers. But the most important thing is how removing red is to dishonor our fallen war heroes. Why? Because Trump is a pro-Putin traitor.

And all these @SenateGOP are traitors too. @SenatorLoeffler

1. If Trump's plan is to sew doubt about the results on election night his big SCOTUS successes IMO will do just the opposite. First, I was not for trying to change the WI, MI and PA mail-in deadline. We went all mail-in under the same "due on election day" rule and it worked
2. great and we are all mail-in but admittedly a small state with about 795,000 registered voters. As of last count 380,000 votes have been received. That's almost as many votes as were cast in 2018. But no matter how many are cast we will have the count on election night.
3. Ballots that have problems have time to correct. So I admit the attack on the USPS is a challenge but it's as likely to harm the GOP as the Dems whose voters tend to be younger and more resourceful. We've seen the people standing in line dancing. They're going to turn it into

1. My parents and all but one of my relatives grew up liberals. @JoeBiden at Warm Springs Georgia is his connection with that tradition evidenced by today’s pilgrimage. It connected him historically like plugging into electricity on FDR’s hallowed ground.
2. My parents were Massachusetts Irish Catholic New Dealers from two Western Mass political families banished by the @AP to MO in the 1950s. When JFK ran I was thrilled. PT109 and the Kennedy charm was irresistible to a nine year-old politician wannabe.
3. But my parents were lukewarm at first on JFK. He wasn’t an ideological liberal. Plus my family viewed the Kennedy family as bootleggers. Not that there weren’t probably bootleggers in our family but being nowhere near as successful at it perhaps made it easier to hide.
