I'm going to keep yelling at you guys all week jsyk but MAIL-IN VOTING HEAVILY FAVORS DEMOCRATS

A LOT OF PLACES HAVEN'T COUNTED MAIL-IN VOTES YET

settle in, my darlings, with your drink and snack of choice, and don't you dare despair at what is only the beginning of this
WE ARE WATCHING
GUESSES
AND
PROJECTIONS

SOME GUESSES ARE MORE EDUCATED THAN OTHERS

BUT
THIS
IS
NOT
EVEN
CLOSE
TO
OVER
nothing tonight is binding
nothing tonight is set
nothing that happens tonight can defeat us
don't concede
count every damn vote
Let me tell you this about Michigan

The secretary of state estimates that it could take until NOVEMBER 6TH for all ballots to be counted and a winner to be declared

MAIL
IN
BALLOTS
Let me tell you this about Wisconsin

THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO START PROCESSING ABSENTEE BALLOTS UNTIL TODAY

*START* processing

this is not going to be a for sure thing tonight by ANY stretch
Let me tell you this about Texas

MOST OF THE LARGE URBAN AREAS DO NOT HAVE RESULTS IN YET
Let me tell you more specifically about battleground state absentee ballots

(source: WaPo) Image
Image
ALSO REMEMBER THOSE 300K VOTES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DELIVERED YET Image
Image
UPDATE FROM 3 MINUTES AGO

they still have MULTIPLE batches to report and THAT IS JUST PHILLY

we
currently
know
nothing Image
urban areas take longer to count
because urban areas have more people
and URBAN AREAS ARE OFTEN MORE LIBERAL

small counties can tabulate faster
rural areas in particular lean red

(yes, I know you know, but sometimes you need outside validation)
here, let me show you just how little we know right now

Joe is winning in IDAHO

that's how little we know

with 1/3 of the vote in, JOE IS WINNING IDAHO

ain't no WAY Joe wins Idaho

numbers mean nothing, loves -- just keep supporting each other and keep the faith Image
(I went to high school in Idaho, and trust me when I say I am ROLLING at this misleading ridiculousness)
another example of just how little literally ANYONE knows

(lulz @ F*x News having Biden that far ahead) Image
according to the WaPo live video, Tr*mp voters are largely spouting conspiracy theories re: why they voted for him sooooooooooooo
(ALSO yes, we know nothing, but we very-closely-to-know that in my dear Washington State where we all vote by mail/drop-off, Tr*mp is getting whomped with 87% of votes in)
AN UPDATE

in AZ, anyone who requested a mail-in ballot and then dropped it off today WILL NOT BE COUNTED until tomorrow
This is not The One Election Day To Rule Them All™️

This is Day 1 of Election Week
(and for a couple of states Election Month)

Day 1

Day 1 of many
Let me tell you about North Carolina

They count absentee ballots that arrive as late as Nov 12th, so THERE WILL DEFINITELY be some counting for AT LEAST NINE DAYS after Election Day Image
Tr*mp's lead is only 75K votes in NC with 95% of the vote in

but after 9 more days of mail-in votes?

WHO KNOWS
*stares in Latinx* Image
Qᵤé 𝒸ₐᵣₐⱼₒ
while there's a lull, let's take some dessert breaths
and let's be very clear

for most of the states that have been "called" thus far -- THEY ARE NOT SURPRISES

they suck, but they're not surprises

did we ever think Utah or Oklahoma was going to go blue?
did anyone even dream Washington or Maryland was going to go red?
The majority of these states' results were determined decades ago

would it be nice if they came to their senses? sure

but we have absolutely no reason to stress about them clinging to what we knew they would
Okay, tweeps

Watch this

then take a break

walk around your house just for a minute

take a bathroom break

refill your glass

close your eyes and just BREATHE

(okay, I'm going to take a quick break to be petty

I f*cking hate Ohio

I love you, my OH babies! SO VERY MUCH!

but I hated living there with all the depths of my soul, and I'm growling wrathfully at it now)
ngl anyone calling TX rn looking pretty sus

there's still an entire day of absentee votes to be counted tomorrow

chill
breathe
breathe again
stare straight into that storm
or block it out and don't let it touch you

either way

we're not falling behind or running late
we're not standing still
we are lying in wait
SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!

OUR FIRST TRANS STATE SENATOR!

everyone take a moment and rejoice with her -- what a trailblazer!

okay, looks like Uncle Joe is going to come out and speak soon?

will keep you updated
OKAY UNCLE JOE IS SPEAKING
"We feel good about where we are -- we really do!
I'm here to tell you tonight we feel like we're on track to win this election!
IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL EVERY BALLOT IS COUNTED!"
Biden says they think they're still in the game in Georgia and feeling good about Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota

He says he's sure they're definitely going to win Pennsylvania
but he says it's not his place or Tr*mp's to declare who wins, but the American people

but he reiterates that he's feeling very optimistic
quoting his grandpa: "JOEY, KEEP THE FAITH"

quoting his grandma: "NO, JOEY, SPREAD IT!"

"We're gonna win this!"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS OF HONKING AND CHEERING AND MUSIC SO OKAY I CAN BREATHE

He actually does sound pretty confident, so I am praying beyond praying that he's right
YOU HEARD THE MAN, CHICKADEES
I know it was only a few minutes, but I actually do feel a little calmer

. . . . and then, of course, Tr*mp tweets "A BIG WIN" and my eyes just rolled back in my head
Okay, Florida is definitely a disappointment, but I will remind you that we still have more votes to count tomorrow -- even if Biden doesn't take it, it might be closer than it looks rn
Tw*tter just flagged Tr*mp's latest tweet as misleading about an election and spreading misinformation SHOCKING

(we're up but they're trying to steal shit from us etc etc etc)
look, I don't agree with Uncle Joe on many things, but I don't get a panic attack when I hear his voice or see him tweet, so that is a major point in his favor
If you want to watch Uncle Joe's speech, go to 2:20

Image
UPDATE FROM GEORGIA Image
A note

For Biden to cross 270 with the 219 that have already been called for him by the WaPo . . .

One path is that he would need to take Wisconsin (10), Michigan (16), Pennsylvania (20), and Nevada (6) to get to 271

Arizona (11) would get him to 282
Or, since AZ is looking mighty blue, he could lose Wisconsin and still be at 272
That's not even counting NC or GA or TX, which we have like zero idea about
Biden is also currently leading by 1.4 million in the popular vote (without MANY of those mail-in votes counted yet)
another reminder that there's still a lot of variation in the calls from tonight

and yet ANOTHER that states HAVE flipped from their calls before Image
AN UPDATE FROM MY DEAR WASHINGTON

Inslee (D) just won his 3rd term (59-41)

A measure to make sex ed classes mandatory in WA schools passed (60-40)
WaPo has just saed that Biden has a LOT of possible yet uncounted votes in the urban areas and Houston suburbs, which is why they're not calling it yet
Another update from Washington State

one of the most important things I voted for is heading for OVERWHELMING passage Image
"an inquest is required when an action, decision, or possible failure to offer appropriate care by a member of a law enforcement agency might have contributed to a person's death"

ACTION
DECISION
POSSIBLE FAILURE TO OFFER APPROPRIATE CARE
holding law enforcement more accountable
AND

"Charter Amendment No. 1 would also require the county to assign an attorney to represent the decedent's family in the inquest proceeding. The family would have the option to accept or decline representation by the attorney."
This may not sound like a big thing, but this is another huge thing that is likely to pass tonight -- replacing key language in the charter that changes "citizen" to "public" "member of the public" or "resident"

THIS IS ACTUALLY HUGE Image
Including non-citizens in the language is H U U U U U U U U U U U G E

I am so damn happy about this one
ohmygods NYT SAYING GA TILTING BIDEN with a 63% CHANCE?????????????????
oh gods okay I'm calm I'm cool I'm not flipping out I'm gonna B R E A T H E
Image
lol I know AK most likely isn't going to go blue, but I do find it funny that they won't count absentee ballots until Nov 10-18

gonna enjoy that small blue shift 🤣
Tr*mp is probs going to speak soon, and way more people are wearing M*GA hats than masks and gods above, can @brownbookworm's missives to Lucifer be answered soon????
oh f*ck they have two teleprompters set up is this good or bad
UPDATE FROM PENNSYLVANIA (via NYT) Image
another pause for breathing
If you need @HamillHimself to tell you to breathe with "The Force Theme" on a loop while you watch and wait for more results, I highly recommend it

mute your TV and close your eyes

you don't even have to go anywhere or move or put down your snacks

just press play and let Uncle Luke help you chill for as long as you need
hoo boy here we go Tr*mp family coming into the CROWDED WITH PEOPLE room and nobody's got masks

Lucifer, @brownbookworm and I are counting on you to do your thing now
(okay, I'm taking my own advice and muting my TV -- this man's voice gives me panic attacks and triggers my gag reflex, so I'm gonna listen to Uncle Luke instead and wait for the WaPo to summarize Tr*mp's nonsense in a coherent manner)
and in the meantime . . . Latinx fam, I know we hail from 30+ countries and speak gods only know how many languages and dialects and will never stop fighting over who has the best food (jk it's Argentina), but . . . we really have to do better
We're not a monolith

Far from it

But we can all do better, mi gente

we can do better at talking to our communities and extended fam (even the ones outside the US if we still have family there)

it's not just about voting -- it's about understanding what's important to us
I know there are a lot of taboo topics, especially in immigrant/diaspora communities (trust me, I've stepped on those metaphorical land mines), but we've got to keep having those conversations
Tr*mp took half the Latinx vote in FL -- compared to 35% in 2016

He also took a lot of Latinx support in GA and OH

Yes, my AZ loves turned out big for Biden!

But the fact that he PICKED UP even more of us after this shitshow year, regardless of country of origin, is 😒
ah, lovely

according to the WaPo, Tr*mp just basically declared victory and said Biden was running fraudulent efforts and that he wants to stop everybody counting in PA blah blah blah idiocy and lies etc
wow

when this bro finally shows up to the party, you know shit's getting serious 😬😬😬 Image
yeah, that Image
Biden still leading by 1.64M in the popular vote
NOW RICK DECIDES TO GROW A CONSCIENCE

Note that I'm VERY pleased to see the networks and newspapers with some version of the headline "Tr*mp FALSELY CLAIMS"
. . . . . . the fck Image
Image
UPDATE

1.4M mail-in votes still to be counted in PA
UPDATE: Wisconsin says it's going to drop more data in an hour or two, so GIMME DAT DATA
UPDATE: PA not giving another update until 9 AM Eastern time
I really, really appreciate how many times the networks are hammering home WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME IT ALWAYS TAKES A LONG TIME THIS ISN'T UNUSUAL TR*MP IS WRONG
NO FCKING SHIT CHRIS Image
BOTH CHRISES!
WISCONSIN UPDATE IN 35 MIN OR SO
OKAY, I'm going to pause to take a very long, very hot shower and try to bring my heart rate down

nobody do anything exciting without me
okay

took 2 pages of notes on the Nano book in the shower on matriarchal political systems

I'm back in the game
OHAI F*X

CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU'D SAID ALL THIS S O O N E R Image
NEW INFO NEW INFO NEW INFO FROM MILWAUKEE
. . . . . in half an hour, they're going to give us lots of votes

FFS GUYS DON'T DO THIS TO ME

(they brought in the hard drives and plugged stuff in so the numbers and votes are tabulated and shit)

WELP GOOD THING I JUST TOOK A SHITTON OF VIT B
but hey, Milwaukee is reporting no speed bumps, irregularities, or obstacles in any form

this is good

I AM CHANNELING MY INNER AARON BURR HERE
okay, the thing in 35 min is Milwaukee county only at this point

I agree with two of these adjectives Image
THIS

tr*mp didn't invent or create any of these attitudes

he just exploited them and made racists/sexists/homophobes more bold in asserting them

Something to remember, chickadees

the sweeping, dramatic political and social changes we see in books and movies usually involve overthrowing or burning the system down

we're still working within the same system as we try to effect change
okay, CNN just called Hawai'i for Biden (a large shock obvs)
but back to my previous point -- ironically, it's the other side trying to burn the system down so . . . . 🤷
Michigan wants to have things done by the end of today (Wednesday) -- they had previously projected it might take until the end of Friday
Wisconsin is dropping news in approx 10 min

until then

I want you to B R E A T H E
currently Jedi-ing with my TV sound off

ᵦₜ𝓌 Bᵢ𝒹ₑₙ ᵢₛ ₙₒ𝓌 ₐₕₑₐ𝒹 ᵢₙ 𝓌ᵢₛ𝒸ₒₙₛᵢₙ
ANYWHO

unclench your jaw
put your damn shoulders down
relax your spine
if you're ADHD like me and have to fidget, I recommend putting your hands in your lap -- palm up -- and running your thumb over one of your fingers or your palm
(or rub a stress rock :P)
roll your neck around in both directions

don't feel the need to rush it

stretch your arms in any manner you like

roll your shoulders a few times

one muscle at a time, unclench from head to toe
Milwaukee County says that Wisconsin wants to be done with everything in the next 3-4 hours or so

WISCONSIN PROVISIONAL BALLOTS ARE UP ON THE WEBSITE AND MUST BE CORRECTED AND RETURNED BY FRIDAY 4 PM

WISCONSIN, CHECK UR BALLOTS
Milwaukee County said Green Bay was an hour or so behind them -- apparently one of the vote-counting machines ran out of ink 🤣
An update on who has called which races thus far -- note that there is still some variance!

nytimes.com/interactive/20… Image
"Tr*mp attacks legitimate vote counting efforts, claims fraud without basis"

"Tr*mp falsely claims victory despite several states still to be called"

the two CNN banners rn
oh dear gods, I just flipped channels, and the words "Tr*mp Wins" came up, and I just about had a heart attack

NOT TO FEAR

IT WAS JUST SHOWING HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS

holy gods, I'm wound tighter than a bloody spring

BACK TO MEDITATING
ANOTHER QUEER WIN

Everyone go celebrate with them!

Biden currently winning popular vote by 2,261,970
while you're waiting for results, loves, I highly recommend checking your local races and provisions and amendments and issues

you may find some hope and relief there to tide you over
votes can still come in for DAYS, so long as they are postmarked by election day, in many states

the majority of those mail-ins will be democrats

could it be enough to tip the presidential scale? no clue

could it be enough to sway local races? COULD BE
UPDATE:

Nevada has paused and is not giving another update until tomorrow (11/5) -- they ARE down to mail-in ballots for the most part at this point

they also have an extended deadline for absentee ballots
okay, chickadees, going to see if I can get a couple hours of sleep -- see you soon😘
Groggily popping on to update that Tr*mp has already asked for a recount in Wisconsin, a state he's now projected to lose -- only one small township has yet to report results

Wisconsin doesn't certify results until December 1st, but the recount is not expected to change anything
Also lulz at the WaPo typo

My exhausted brain is currently 6 years old 🤣 Image
Image
A counting update on 5 swings Image
Also hey remember when we said D*Joy was going to subvert the democratic process and sabotage the vote?

Guess what

He subverted the democratic process and sabotaged the vote 🙃 ImageImage
As of a few min ago, Biden is leading in Michigan by 45,000 votes with 94% of the votes counted Image
Am I giving the most dirty of side-eyes to 3rd party candidates again this year?

Yes

Yes, I am
Another reminder, my darlings, that considering how much the cheeto has tried to discredit mail in voting -- and the 40 r*publican lawsuits trying to suppress votes -- that THE TR*MP CAMPAIGN KNEW THEY WERE PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE
You don't prep a nigh-treasonous fascist coup strategy like this so far in advance unless you anticipate you're going to need it

We always knew he was going to lose the popular vote

We always knew even though the electoral college is shit, he had a good shot at losing that too
Also with 94% of the vote tallied in Michigan, their Democratic senator is winning with about 1000 votes

YEAH, YOUR VOTE MATTERS Image
Yep

Uncle Joe is buckling in for a fight

Like I said, chickadees, we're in for a very long month(s?) Image
Tr*mp's lead in GA is down to 83,000 votes with 93% of the vote in

Guess where the votes are that they still have to count 👀👀👀 Image
Don't hold your breath for Pennsylvania results anytime soon

Tr*mp's lead is roughly 462K -- BUT at last update, they still had 1.3 million ballots to count

Guess where THOSE votes are 👀👀👀 Image
In NC, Tillis is giving a victory speech, but Cunningham has not conceded

He's in a pretty sizeable hole, but it's not impossible that he could make at least some of that ground up with absentee and provisional votes

Not holding out much hope for him, however
Portland gonna Portland ImageImage
*stares into the camera*

(yes, we knew this was probably going to happen hours ago, but it doesn't make it any less vexing) Image
P.S. I know I've been shouting this all night, but even when races are called, there's still a lot of counting to be done (especially in states with extended absentee deadlines) and nothing is certain until states certify said counts

This is especially pertinent to local races Image
*S I G H* ImageImageImage
GODS ABOVE, THEY FINALLY CALL WISCONSIN ALLE-FREAKING-LUIA Image
A recount probably won't start for a week or two, and it's going to cost Tr*mp about $3 million

Note that he did pick up some extra votes in the 2016 recount -- a whole 131 of them! 🤣
Aaaaaaand the Tr*mp campaign has now filed a lawsuit in Michigan in an attempt to stop all counting

the excuse is looking mighty flimsy, but we'll see what a judge says 🙄 Image
*stares in Yertle*

Discount Palpatine over here trying to pretend to oppose Tr*mp when he's really just setting up the exact same strategy couched in smoother rhetoric and less delusional screaming

(count now, lawsuit later) Image
Remember what I said Tr*mp's lead in Georgia was 83,000?

It's down to 79,500

And there's still more counting to do Image
BUT

let me tell you something

Now that Wisconsin has been called . . . if Biden wins Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan . . .

that's it

that's the ballgame

That's 270 exactly without Pennsylvania, Georgia, or North Carolina
AND many media outlets, including AP and F*x News, have already called Arizona for Biden

Which means just Nevada and Michigan to go, both of which are trending Biden's way

Biden is also currently leading in the popular vote by just over 3 million votes
A note on AZ -- there are still about 500,000 (or more depending on provisional ballots) to tally, and they're not going to be done today

Arizona voters also have until next week to verify signatures and fix problems with ballots
A reminder on NV -- there will be no results updates from them until noon Eastern tomorrow (Thursday)

They also have extended deadlines for more ballots to arrive
AZ UPDATE

The next big update is coming at 9 PM eastern (that's 6 PM my time) TONIGHT

5 HOURS AND 39 MINUTES Image
As of this moment, Biden is leading by 93,500 with 86% of the vote counted

Most of the remaining votes to be counted are in counties looking mighty blue
Looks like Uncle Joe will have something to say soon Image
BREATHING BREAK
CNN just called Michigan for Biden

With AZ already called for him in some places, he literally just needs Nevada
I feel so much better about looking longingly over the border when I was living in OH 🤣
An update on which media outlets have called which races

nytimes.com/interactive/20… Image
CNN WH reporter saying that Tr*mp campaign are literally pinning hopes on AZ flipping back to them and on lawsuits in MI and PA

they're also saying that the WI recount isn't looking like it would actually change anything (lol ya think?)
Ahéhee' to my Diné neighbors and classmates who came out in AZ and NM🙏

(I grew up in NM 3 miles from the border of the Navajo Nation -- close enough that our signs in elementary and middle school were in English, Spanish, and Navajo

did you know over 1/3 of NM's population speaks a non-English language?)
UPDATE FROM AZ

615,000 still to be counted in AZ

Maricopa County has 450,000 of those
*now = again
If you want to watch the count LIVE in Maricopa County (AZ), there are feeds in

may the gods have mercy on your soul if you decide to, but I support your life choices if it'll help
Tr*mp's lead is 68,315 in Georgia

they're still counting votes in heavily Democratic areas

if Biden wins 60% of the remaining vote, he's in business
An update from international observers ImageImageImage
I hereby claim the entire snack aisle in every grocery store in the state of washington

also all the ice cream
Some Tr*mp officials are suggesting that Tr*mp will not meet with Biden or come to the inauguration or cooperate with the transition

MSNBC commentator comparing him to the toddler in the mall who is screaming and stamping his feet and refusing to move
I have no idea if this is accurate, so don't quote me, but my cynical self wonders if Biden's message of "they're not our enemies there are no red/blue states I'm taking care of all of you" is purely strategic

Because, I mean, that's what I would do
if I wanted to project a stark contrast to my opponent and pry moderates and undecideds away from him, that's exactly what I would do

I would preach unity and harmony and healing even if I was ready to shiv my opponents

is that what he's doing?

no idea
WH sources are saying that they're bleeding GOP support because of Tr*mp's behavior and that the mood is continually darkening
other GOP sources are saying they believe the lawsuits are just pointless ambulance-chasing behavior
Biden campaign was hoping to have a victory rally tonight with fireworks, but they are getting the word out that they do not want to declare victory prematurely and are waiting to watch the race play out
MARK KELLY IS AHEAD BY 144,000 VOTES
Gary Peters is ahead by 14,000 votes
Tillis has declared victory by 96,000 votes, but Cunningham still has not conceded
Jon Ossof is not looking great, but a runoff is still possible

Dems would have to pick up 4 R*pub states to get majority
(AKA probs not going to happen, which is not great, but we're still waiting on House races too)
Dems gotta go home and re-think their lives for the next 2 years
OH

Tr*mp's lead is down to 60,365 in GA

it was 83,000 two hours ago
20,000-50,000 votes yet to be counted in NV

in Clark County, Dems have been outpacing Repubs 2:1 in mail-ins
update from GA, PA, and NV

GA may be headed to a recount because of how "razor thin" it currently is

Tr*mp's lead has been cut in half in PA thus far with many ballots still to be tallied

NV is releasing additional ballots later today instead of tomorrow Image
an update on which media outlets have called which races

F*x has Biden at 264 😱 Image
Tr*mp's lead in GA is down to 57,000 votes
An update from NC

Final totals probably aren't going to be known until the 12th, but it would be a pretty steep climb to make up the ground on Tillis and Tr*mp Image
CNN believes there are 185,000 votes left in GA

Biden would need 65-67% of that to win
Tr*mp would need 31-33%

reminder that these ARE coming from very blue counties, but TEMPER EXPECTATIONS

Biden has thus far won 71% of the vote in GA today

(94% of the vote in)
New numbers in PA

difference is currently 266,754 in Tr*mp's favor

110,000 votes to go in Pittsburg (Steelers are sending them dinners) and several hundred thousand in Philly

they're saying Friday is the most likely time to actually call the race
MSNBC analyst is predicting Biden to be a narrow favorite in PA when looking at all of the yet-uncounted absentee ballots
200,000 votes (give or take) still out in NV

Biden only needs to win 45-47% of that to win, and the votes are overwhelmingly in blue counties
interesting breakdown from Wisconsin Image
Tr*mp's lead in GA down to 54,000
(I have 11 election-related tabs open as well as 2 news stations, guys

my aspie/ADHD multi-tasking and hyperfocus are coming in CLUTCH)
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA MCCONNELL SAYS HE WANTS TO NOW PASS COVID RELIEF BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR
Mike Lee just last week compared Tr*mp to Captain Moroni

f*cking garbage human

on MSNBC, Professor at Duke Law School says Tr*mp campaign literally has no legal claim or problem to challenge the vote in any state -- he says it's only to set up the politics
Biden campaign goes further and calls said lawsuits "pathetic" 🤣
btw Biden up 93,016 in AZ, in case you didn't hear that earlier
1.1 M votes still to be counted in PA

Biden needs 68-70% of those to win PA
Tr*mp needs 28-30%

BUT because Biden's winning most of the absentee votes, it's not impossible for him
Btw

Biden is winning 79.4% in Philly with only 70% of the votes reported
Tr*mp's lead in PA is now 259,000
Analyst on MSNBC says Biden has a psychological advantage going into the Tr*mp lawsuits because judges are much more comfortable and likely to maintain status quo than overturn presidential races
Biden currently leads in the popular vote by 3,125,449
Atlanta holding a press conference very soon, says CNN, to update the numbers

they only have 5 scanners and 5 openers atm bc of space reasons

they're going to do more frequent updates for the rest of the night
GA says NO BALLOTS ARE REJECTED DURING THIS PROCESS

adjudicators determine voter intent if there's any ambiguity
in GA, provisional ballots and overseas ballots, etc have until Friday to come in
A blatant and sobering article to read while you're waiting for more results

washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
Both Tr*mp and Biden campaigns have called a lid for the night (guessing that's in response to the Nevada news)

if something major happens, I'm sure they'll show up, but otherwise, we're going to have to sleep on this Image
PA is reporting that they're probably going to need a couple more days to get everything counted

take your time, bbs
Tr*mp's lead in GA is down to 47,000
Tr*mp's lead in PA down to 245,000

Biden leading popular vote by 3,413,488
AZ UPDATE

Maricopa County anticipating new data soon and then one more dump a few hours after that

so 2 BIG FCKING UPDATES
remember that Biden is up by 93,000 votes in AZ -- they haven't updated us in A V LONG TIME
okay, they're projecting 90 minutes until the first big dump

time for some B R E A T H I N G
GA UPDATE: Tr*mp campaign has filed lawsuits in MI, PA, and GA🙄

they haven't released what they intend to do, but I'm guessing it's another flimsy cupcake shit thing
Image
Biden campaign has told staffers and aides to not gloat or use this moment to mock Tr*mp people, but that they are still confident that they've got this shit
okay, GA lawsuit statement:

Deputy campaign manager is claiming mail-in ballots are being counted that were received after the 7 PM deadline and that everyone should stop counting ballots until this (stupid) issue is resolved
ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S OFFSPRING

OHMYGODS, CNN JUST CALLED HIM "ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S OFFSPRING" i am D E A D
"I get the sense that these lawsuits are about maintaining a narrative and trying to act like they're viable for as long as possible" -- CNN analyst. "If Tr*mp had a healthy lead in GA, this would not be happening"
one GA senate race called to be headed to a run-off between Raphael Warnock (32.4%) and
Kelly Loeffler (26.2%)

Reverend Warnock delivered the opening remarks for the late John Lewis' service

in the other Senate race, Perdue holds a lead of 140,404 over Ossoff
GA UPDATE

Tr*mp's lead is now 43,955

it was 47,000 half an hour ago
apparently everyone is freaking out at the WH because they had zero idea that GA would be close at ALL -- this morning they thought GA was totally safe
TR*MP GA LEAD DOWN TO 37,684

OHMYGODSOHMYGODSOHMYGODS
IT WENT DOWN 6,271 IN THE PAST 25 MIN
Tr*mp's lead in PA down to 199,542

it was 245,000 an hour ago
(I haven't done math this feverishly since my ACTs)
okay, bbs, taking a break to walk the puppy

keep in mind while I'm gone that AK numbers mean very little bc they haven't even started counting absentee

I SHOULD BE BACK IN TIME FOR MARICOPA
ALSO 122,500 votes still to count in GA!

and yes, they tried to get in and yell at poll workers

the sheriff's dept asked them to leave with no tear gas or beatings or arrests 🙃
there is a large sheriff's dept presence outside -- they are positioned all around the building and escorting poll workers to their cars so that the protestors don't attack or harass them

parts of the outside are also roped off

YES CNN IS TALKING ABOUT HOW "THE LATINO VOTE" IS NOT A THING BC WE'RE NOT A MONOLITH AND WE'RE "31 FLAVORS OF LATINO" IN THIS COUNTRY, BLESS YOU

she's saying in no uncertain terms that we should not base "the latino turnout" just on Miami bc we're turning out huge elsewhere
"You have to understand -- we Cuban-Americans in Florida are traumatized. We fled communism. You start talking about "super left-wing" and it evokes an emotional response in many," says the commentator

HAPPY THURSDAY, MY EAST COAST BBS

YOU STILL HANGING IN THERE?
AZ supposed to be dropping numbers in the next 5-15 minutes, and I am definitely not chowing on pizza with one hand and refreshing with the other
AZ update: the Maricopa County Elections Dept building is going to CLOSE -- there is a HUGE crowd outside, and they're going to have to evacuate the building

CNN is the last news crew allowed there, and they're leaving soon

protestors are also blocking election workers' cars
THERE ARE PEOPLE ARMED WITH LONG GUNS AND SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLES BECAUSE AZ IS AN OPEN CARRY STATE
20 min from now, there will be numbers released, but things are getting REALLLLLLLLLY dicey with the crowd getting larger and larger

what the FUCK
Maricopa County is going to send out an electronic press release instead of relaying the results directly the news crews who are now being evacuated
the best part of this shitshow is that Tr*mp is LOSING AND THESE IDIOTS ARE TRYING TO GET THEM TO STOP COUNTING WTF HOW STUPID ARE YOU
hey, police dept, there are ARMED protestors with SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AND RIOT VESTS and somehow there is no tear gas or beatings or arrests 🤔🤔🤔
Gods above
GA update: Atlanta was originally going to stop at 3 AM, but they're going to just push through it and do the whole she-bang

17,000 absentee mail-ins JUST IN ATLANTA

no more statements will be released from them, just numbers
CNN saying we probably won't know tonight about AZ and GA -- not a huge surprise

PA definitely not going to be tonight, of course
Another AZ update -- unless something drastic changes, they're going to vote to decriminalize marijuana (it's winning by 500,000 votes)
Something that should have made much more of a dent than it did -- not only did we hit 100,000 new covid cases . . . we had 1,130 covid deaths today
over a thousand people gone in a single day, and 48% (thus far) want this callous, incompetent asshole to stay in office
GA TR*MP LEAD IS 25,600

IT WAS 28,521 AN HOUR AGO

ALMOST 3000 VOTES
PHILLY SAYS IT MIGHT HAVE A BIG UPDATE OVERNIGHT HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION FOR MY NERVES
If AZ keeps to their schedule, they should be updating us in 15 min or so, but with the armed mob of fascists outside, I'm not sure how feasible that's going to be
fireworks and spray paint = arrests

semi-automatic weapons = rope off a couple areas

I'm going to lose it Image

it's been 18 minutes GIVE ME DATA
AZ protest update: still about 200 people, lots holding flags, shouting chants, very few masks, over a dozen guys in camo with AR-15's

MSNBC reporter on the scene says it feels like the violent protests he's covered in Brazil and Venezuela
apparently they're screaming conspiracy theories about how there is No Way™️ that Maricopa County could go blue and that there must be fraud etc etc etc
reporter says the situation is fluid with some organizers saying they'll camp out

some people are slowly drifting back home, but even more are showing up with guns
MSNBC having a conversation about how Black voters -- and particularly Black women -- have been saving Biden and Democrats
so when do the armed mobs trying to interfere with legitimate vote-counting get tear gassed?
Biden currently leading in the popular vote by 3,475,570

72,075,757 voters have now voted for him
68,600,187 voters are now on my perpetual shitlist
there are people with semi-automatic weapons trying to disrupt the democratic process, and the cops are just keeping an eye on them

And yet in Portland

AZ

A reminder that only F*x News and AP have now called AZ for Biden

we're going to get an influx of votes very soon, and that should give us a better sense of the race
Image
Reminder about our biggest swing states right now

GA: Tr*mp lead is 22,567 -- 0.4% margin

NEW INFO NEW INFO NEW INFO COME ON GIVE IT TO ME INJECT IT IN MY VEEEEEEEEEEINS

PER CNN NEW NUMBERS FROM MARICOPA COUNTY
AZ: 62,000 ballots were just counted

Biden 912,585
Trump 838,071

Biden still has a 74,514 lead
aaaaaaaaaaand that did exactly nothing to alleviate my nerves
Maricopa County still has roughly 312,000 ballots to count
Maricopa County is not giving out any more data tonight, so we probably won't know anything else until morning fml
oh wait, hearing that those numbers are now updated

1,469,341 Biden
1,400,951 Tr*mp

so that's a lead of 68,390 lead for Biden

but they're saying that the next batch of votes, based on drop-off/mail-in timing will likely skew more Democratic

BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING
CLARIFICATION FROM ABOVE -- the numbers posted first (Biden 912,585 and Tr*mp 838,071) were the totals IN MARICOPA COUNTY

the updated numbers shown above are from AZ as a whole
sorry I didn't clarify -- my brain is a lorge pile of mush
okay, doesn't look like there's going to be much else tonight, so I'm going to try and get 5 or 6 hours of sleep and hop back on when shit gets interesting again
Blearily checked the numbers to find that TR*MP'S LEAD IN GA IS 18,144
AZ is 2 hours late with an update, and more NV numbers are said to be coming in an hour
PA Tr*mp leads by 135,628 with 87% reporting

Tr*mp: STAHP TEH COUNT

The count:
Okay, while we're waiting for results, watch this 2-minute video of the count getting bleep-censored every single time he says "count"

loooool Nevada is just teasing me now -- they dumped a grand total of 20 votes in
OH and a race I forgot to update!

in GA, Perdue (R) is leading Ossoff (D) by only 111,786

why is that good news, you may ask?

WELL

if neither candidate gets 50% of the vote, it goes to a run-off

Perdue is sitting E X A C T L Y at 50%

he goes down by even 0.1% and . . .
TR*MP'S GA LEAD IS 14,100

I KNOW THAT'S ONLY LIKE 150 VOTES BUT IT'S STILL GOING DOWN

NV update of about 1500-2000 votes

Biden: 604,251
Tr*mp: 592,813

Biden's lead is 11,438
Biden campaign has put out a message to their supporters: "Stay patient and stay calm"
she also says to C H I L L re: Arizona because YES, the margin will tighten, but they still believe they'll win it

Biden campaign is not expecting to know a winner today -- they're guessing tomorrow
meanwhile, Tr*mp's message is "If you count the legal votes, I easily win the election"
internal aides are apparently discussing him doing a "miracle run" a la Grover Cleveland and winning the presidency back in 2024🙄
UPDATE FROM GA

50,401 VOTES TO GO

AND THERE IS STILL TIME (until 5 PM tomorrow) FOR ABSENTEE AND CURED BALLOTS

YOU HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12TH TO CURE YOUR BALLOT IF THERE WERE DISCREPENCIES OR ERRORS

CHECK
YOUR
BALLOTS
Nevada officials are saying that they want to be done with the bulk of their mail-in ballots on saturday or sunday fmlllllllllll
remember when I said this, chickadees?

we're in for the long haul

Clark County spokesperson is saying he is worried about his staff (and that his mother and wife are worried about HIM) and that they are having additional security come in to protect them

they are also tightening who can get in
PA UPDATE

Tr*mp's lead is now 114,042
(a note from the NV press conference -- the man giving information is the Registrar of Voters)
omg all of you guys buying me ko-fis are the bessssssssst 😭😭😭
PA Sec of State says 550,000 ballots yet to be counted and that it is possible we could know the winner TODAY

(stares at Nevada)

They're ahead of schedule and MIGHT ACTUALLY BE DONE TODAAAAAAAAAAAY
WHICH MEANS WE ACTUALLY *COULD* HAVE A WINNER TODAY

WE DON'T EVEN NEED AZ AND NV TO GET THEIR REARS IN GEAR

PA WOULD PUT US AT 273
PA Sec of State says that she does not believe the contested ballots will make a difference in the final outcome even if they are invalidated
(speaking of AZ, they were supposed to do an update about 5 hours ago, but they've been a black hole

THIS IS WORSE THAN QUERYING AND SUB PUT TOGETHER)
Tr*mp's PA lead is now 111,400

that's down 2,642 from 20 minutes ago
ah

pro-Tr*mp protestors hanging out in H*rrisburg, PA and screaming STOP THE VOTE

the fun part is that the amendment to allow mail-in ballots to continue to arrive was passed as bipartisan legislation put forward by a Republican
Uncle Joe currently going into a corona briefing in Wilmington -- looks like the potential transition is proceeding as planned
by contrast to the above protestors -- in B*cks County, PA, they are chanting COUNT EVERY VOTE

(Biden is ahead there by 7000, but 28,000 still to go)
TR*MP'S GA LEAD IS 13,219

ANOTHER 320 DOWN
BTW -- the reason I'm not updating on NC even though they only have 94% of the vote in is because they haven't updated numbers in at least 13 hours and are not expected to know anything concrete until the 12th
Tr*mp campaign is now claiming thousands of illegitimate Nevada votes were sent to people who were not residents of NV

they also claim there are no election observers inside
when asked to provide evidence -- and confronted with the proven fact that there are, in fact, both R*publican and Democratic election -- they hustled into their vans and could/would not provide any
GA UPDATE

Largest outstanding number of ballots to be counted is Chatham County (Savannah)

15,000-17,000 still to be counted

they want to be done by the end of business today, but no guarantees
the Chatham County vote will NOT be updated incrementally, but all at once tonight

they also have military votes coming in until 5 PM tomorrow

also most of the ones still to be counted are absentee ballots
there are an estimated 149,000 ballots still to be processed in NV -- Biden only needs to win 44-46% of them to hold/win Nevada
GAH, typo a few tweets ago -- there are both Dem and Rep election OBSERVERS in NV watching the tally
I still can't get over that the Tr*mp lead in GA Tuesday night was 600,000 . . . . . .

and now it's 13,220
SMOL UPDATE FROM ARIZONA BUT GODS ABOVE IT'S NEW NUMBERS

Biden: 1,470,382
Tr*mp: 1,401,807

Biden leads by 68,575

his lead was previously 68,390
lol you guys like my setup?

(also my phone) Image
reporters are very confused by the armed crowds at Maricopa County since literally no AZ R*publican officials have been complaining about the validity of the process -- in fact, they've said it's proceeding quite smoothly
(also reports say while Biden is being briefed on covid and other issues while Tr*mp is watching tv in the oval office, and I'm chuckling just a small amount that is in fact very large)
TR*MP'S LEAD IN GA IS 12,825

THAT'S 395 MORE
Philly is currently having a masked "count every vote" rally -- BLESS YOU, LOVES

Legal scholars are also saying they're confused by G*uliani being the one to make the legal arguments down there bc he is "not the sharpest one to do so"
(guys, I've got my goldstone ring, my tiger eye + tiger iron worry stone, and my rainbow fluorite stress egg

I also have a red ribbon on my computer

THIS SUPERSTITIOUS ARGENTINE IS R E A D Y)
NOTE that we have not seen the cheeto on camera for 36 hours

I'M SURE IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT MERCURY RETROGRADE ENDED AROUND THE SAME TIME . . . . .
PA update

Tr*mp's lead is now 108,614

ANOTHER 2,786 DOWN FROM 50 MIN AGO
Race has narrowed between Perdue (R) and Ossoff (D) in GA too!

Perdue's lead is only 110,487 -- down 1,300 from my last update

he's sitting RIGHT AT 50.0%

THIS COULD REALLY HAPPEN

THIS COULD REALLY GO TO A RUN-OFF
THERE
ARE
STILL
AROUND
48,000
TO
COUNT
CNN reporting that members of the Tr*mp campaign are wincing every time PA posts new numbers
OKAY breathing break
PA reporting 370,000 or so uncounted ballots

Biden needs 64-66% of those remaining votes to win

GA update -- Secretary of State is holding a press conference in 10 minutes so BUCKLE IN
SMOL AZ UPDATE

Biden: 1,470,560
Tr*mp: 1,402,431

Biden's lead is 68,129

his previous lead was 68,575
a reminder that the Biden campaign predicted that AZ would probably tighten

the lead was 68,390 an hour ago, then 68,575, then 68,129

the fluctuations aren't huge enough to draw conclusions at the moment
(also that dump was literally only 800 votes)

EMERGENCY BREATHING BREAK FOR THOSE OF YOU READING TOO MUCH INTO THIS
PA UPDATE

Biden: 3,127,518

GA SECRETARY OF STATE

47,277 BALLOTS STILL TO GO

County Breakdowns

Chatham - 17,157
Clayton - 6,026
DeKalb - 700
Floyd - 682
Forsyth - 7,113
Fulton - 7,305 (3900 provisionals)
Gwinnett -- 4,800 (4,400 are absentee)
Harris -- 3,641
Laurens -- 1,797 or 797
Taylor -- 456
he is emphasizing that they are not "DONE" until the actual certification date -- cured and military ballots are still coming in -- but that they hope to have "CLARITY" on the vote later today
worth noting that in Clayton alone, Biden is winning 82.8% of the votes
there are also 8,000 POTENTIAL military votes that may or may not come in -- that's the number of ballots that have been requested by military personnel, not confirmed or returned
AZ is freaking trolling me

they were supposed to do a big drop at 6 AM, and thus far they've only dropped 2,700 votes -- and they were like 5 hours late😭
Biden and Harris have now done briefings with their public health advisors as the US hit 104,000 coronavirus cases today

they also attended an economic briefing
Dr. William Haseltine -- creator of ACCESS Health International, member of the AIDS Executive Committee of the NIH from 1986 to 1992 and Council of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases from 1987 to 1991 -- predicts we could get up to 2,500 deaths a day
(Unlike some corona "advisors" I could name, this dude is EXTREMELY qualified

he was legit a professor in the Harvard Medical School Department of Pathology as well as the Cancer Biology Department, has studied retroviruses, AIDS, cancer, and has ACTUALLY CRAFTED PUBLIC POLICY)
PA UPDATE

Biden: 3,134,275
Tr*mp: 3,236,920

Tr*mp: 2,438,181

Tr*mp's lead is down to 12,764 -- I WILL TAKE EVERY ONE OF THOSE 61 VOTES WE JUST PICKED UP
SMOL PA UPDATE

Tr*mp's lead is now 102,411, down 234 from 5 minutes ago
the important thing to note here in PA, even though it was a small dump, is the RATIO

600 votes were tallied
Biden won 417 of them -- 69.5% of them
Tr*mp won 183 -- 30.5% of them

that's ABOVE the % that Biden needs to maintain (62% give or take) to win PA
Update from AZ -- the counters are making minimum wage and have had to deal with armed mobs

they still showed up
they're still counting
ANOTHER PA UPDATE

Biden: 3,136,423
Tr*mp: 3,237,555

Tr*mp's lead is down to 101,132 -- that's down 1,279 from 7 minutes ago!
THIS IS EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT RATIO-WISE

2,183 ballots were tallied

1,731 were for Biden -- a whopping 79.2% of those votes!
452 were for Tr*mp -- only 20.7%
VOTES ARE COMING IN SO FAST, PA

Biden: 3,137,658
Tr*mp: 3,238,682

Tr*mp's lead is down to 101,024 -- down 108 from 3 minutes ago
While I take a breath, CNN is reporting that Tr*mp is ITCHING to get out in front of cameras, but his aides are locking him inside (metaphorically) bc they have no idea what the message would even be, considering that the map has just gotten worse and worse for him by the hour
AZ update

Biden: 1,471,024
Tr*mp: 1,403,118

Biden's lead is now 67,906, down 223 from an hour ago

the number of votes added was 1,151
An update from Philly -- they have 85,000-90,000 mail-in votes left

Biden is winning 80.1% of the votes thus far
HUUUUUUUUGE PA UPDATE

Biden: 3,142,463
Tr*mp: 3,240,387

TR*MP'S LEAD IS 97,924

THAT'S DOWN 3,100 FROM 13 MINUTES AGO
6410 VOTES ADDED

JOE WON 4,805 OF THEM

THAT'S 74.9%
if Philly pulls this out, I promise I'll never make fun of Carson Wentz again even though he got the same stats as our 3rd string QB in last week's game
Biden set to speak in downtown Wilmington soon -- will update you as I go
OKAY HERE WE GO

He and Kamala just came from a public health briefing re: covid

- voters and no one else choose the president
- every vote must be counted
- be patient
- we continue to feel good
- we have no doubt that when the count is finished we'll be the winners
- stay calm
that was like a grand total of 2 minutes, if that, and the message isn't new, but he's staying on brand

note that we still haven't seen Tr*mp for over 36 hours
CNN pointing out that addressing covid right off the bat is "quasi-presidential" and that when he speaks of the death toll, he doesn't say it in a "numb" way, but with the weight of it
very small PA update:

Still an EXCELLENT ratio
Hearing from MSNBC that Tr*mp is planning on suing Nevada, asserting that the state mailed ballots to people who are dead or not NV citizens

Nevada doesn't seem to be fazed atm
Analysts are saying the campaign is trying a scattershot approach and just trying to make literally anything stick that they can

Tr*mp's son is screaming for the GOP to show up with support

GOP seems to be out at lunch -- a very long lunch 🤣

BREATHING BREAK

While I have half a second to breathe, thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has donated to my ko-fi 🙏

I appreciate your support so very much
GA Secretary of State has scheduled a press conference for 5:30 eastern
GA is reminding us that GA has a ton of military bases, so they will be getting many military votes, which have until tomorrow at 5 PM to arrive

PA also doing a news conference very soon!
DAVID PERDUE (R) DIPPED BELOW 50%

HE'S AT 49.9%

Biden is currently leading the popular vote by 3,572,332

Pennsylvania news conference (complete with ASL translator!)

- military and overseas ballots are coming in and can still arrive until Tues
- provisional ballots still not in the count
- emphasizing the strength and security of the process of casting ballots by any method
- POSSIBLE that we could have enough ballots to predict a clear winner tonight
- several hundred thousand ballots still to go
- final results are not certified 20 days after election
- most of the in-person votes have been counted
- reiterates provisional and military not in
- no firm numbers on provisional ballots
- majority of counting will be done by tomorrow night
- they are still ahead of schedule
- only instance of attempted fraud they've seen is one guy who tried to apply for a ballot for his deceased mother several weeks ago
- none of the ballots that arrived after election day have been counted yet
- secretary of state has increased security to keep the poll workers and counting staff and her staff safe
- the amount of ballots that have arrived after election day is very small
- (this one is from me) after the PA secretary of state suggested going to the website to check real-time PA vote breakdowns, it got so swamped that I can't access it without a "server busy" message 🤣
For Biden to not only pass Tr*mp but win PA by 40,000 votes, he only has to win 70% of the remaining votes

he has thus far won the ballots counted today by 78%

Tr*Mp

"if you count the legal votes, I easily win" -- my gods, he's reading his TWEETS AT THE PODIUM IN THE WEST WING

"I ALREADY WON DESPITE BIG MEDIA, BIG MONEY, AND BIG TECH

THE POLLSTERS GOT IT KNOWINGLY WRONG

THERE WAS NO BLUE WAVE"
THERE IS LITERALLY A BIG BLUE WAVE ERASING YOUR LEAD IN SEVERAL STATES, YOU VOMITOUS MASS

ohmygods, he's gloating about how much money Dems spent trying to defeat them

WE LOST ZERO RACES IN THE HOUSE, says he

THIS WAS THE YEAR OF THE R*PUBLICAN WOMAN
I WON MORE POC THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY -- I shit you not, he's saying it

I BELIEVE WE ARE THE PARTY OF INCLUSION

MEDIA POLLING WAS ELECTION INTERFERENCE BY SPECIAL INTERESTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO KEEP OUR VOTERS AT HOME

THEY WERE "SUPPRESSION POLLS"
guys, I'm not sure I can stomach much more of this

THEY'VE NEVER USED THIS SUPPRESSION THE WAY THEY DID TO ME WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

THE VOTING APPARATUS IN ALL STATES ARE RUN BY DEMOCRATS WE WERE WINNING AND THEN OUR NUMBERS STARTED GETTING MIRACULOUSLY WHITTLED AWAY
WE GOT LOTS OF LITIGATION BECAUSE OF HOW UNFAIR THIS WAS

MAIL-IN VOTING HAS DESTROYED OUR SYSTEM

"IT MAKES PEOPLE CORRUPT EVEN IF THEY AREN'T BY NATURE" -- that is a direct quote
