So I’ve looked at everything I can find, taking into account what counties haven’t reported & how things were trending, etc., & as of 4pm today I think where we actually stand is here 👇🏻. I’ll give you the scenarios, but overall, either man could still win at this point./1
AZ looks to be very close. We should get their final before PA. To my eye, the counties & trend favor DJT, but most of the outstanding vote is early/provisional so the percentages could be different from my view. If DJT wins AZ, this is where we stand. /2
If Biden wins AZ, this is where we stand. /3
If DJT wins AZ, (which I think we’ll find out tonight or early tomorrow) all eyes will turn to the Keystone State. I think it’s more likely DJT wins PA than Biden, but here are both scenarios. /4
PA we will probably not know for sure until Friday, Saturday at the latest, barring any legal maneuvers that cause further delay.
My own view is that DJT probably wins, but it is very close. /5
Two areas of possible, but I think unlikely, change.
NV & MI.
Both right now favor Biden, but could favor DJT if they were to change in a major way. /6
First: NV. DJT was behind there when they stopped counting by approx 7600 votes. Some of the outstanding counties are rural, but the splits were still favoring Biden & the votes outstanding were early ones where that was definitely true. Could it flip? Sure, but unlikely. /7
MI. I’d thought DJT would likely win MI & am surprised by the small Biden lead. The issue here is that the state Secretary’s reporting is not matching up well w/the media reporting. I think it’s a data lag but it’s so close in MI that it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on it./8
Basically the way it shakes out for both men is that in a race where AZ, MI & PA are all 3 in play, whoever wins AZ only needs to win one of those 2 rust belt states, whereas whoever loses AZ must win them both. And right now, DJT leads in PA & Biden leads in MI. /9

This group is crowdsourcing its own "UnAmerican activities" list of people to target - including federal judges, federal appointees, at least one US Senator & many others. Disgusting, & potentially dangerous. @LindseyGrahamSC@tedcruz@doj@FBI@USMarshalsHQ
Okay, folks, here’s my report. I voted for DJT in Fairfax County, Virginia! As I predicted: no line. 👇🏻They gave us these little pens so no one had to share. I walked in & was the only person getting a ballot. 2 others were already behind their screens voting, but that was it. /1
One interesting thing: as I walked up, there were 2 ladies there & 1 called to me & pointed out the Dem slate on a sign. (Perfectly legal were she was.) I said, “Thanks but I’m voting the straight Republican ticket.” She literally took a step back & her jaw dropped. /2
Now I’m going downtown DC to check on my office & get my snail mail. I don’t plan to go there the rest of this week just in case there are issues. 🤨/3
A Sunday post: The WWII Memorial folks have announced they'll be adding an etching to the Memorial of FDR's D-Day Prayer, which he broadcast on D-Day to the nation. I'm going to link-tweet it for you, but here is also a link to the entire prayer. drive.google.com/file/d/1nkdJSr…

My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. /2
And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. /3
Rather than respond individually but repeatedly to (the same) comments to my ACB tweet, I've written a 1 time response.👇If you want to read it, fine. If you don't want to read it, don't read it. drive.google.com/file/d/17H_wWs…
I will pin this tweet for a while for folks to access it./1
I didn't address in my response a few of the things people frequently commented about my tweet because they were not talking about my tweet, but rather about my photograph/avatar. 🙄This tweet & the next three are "special instructions" for those special people. /2
The jacket & turtleneck in my pic are not gray; they are green. Get your monitor settings checked. 🙄Also, even if they were both gray, you are incorrect that gray on gray or monochromatic dressing is not a lovely look. /3
Flynn. So this is going to be a threat about the Motion to Disqualify that Sidney and team filed last week seeking to have Judge Sullivan remove himself from the case. /1
I'm going to talk about the pleading generally first - a high level takeaway - and also the timing issues and then I'll go through it and that lastly I'll talk about what will/can happen with it. /2
There has not been a ton of commentary on this pleading from lawyers. The reason for that is I think two fold: 1. It is sometimes difficult for lawyers to talk about whether a judge is misbehaving for fear of retaliation or for fear of saying something inappropriate themselves./3
Flynn. So there were filings today in Gen. Flynn's case by his counsel, by DOJ and by the amicus curiae, retired judge, Gleeson. I'll start with the easy stuff and work my way to the harder stuff. /1
First, Andy McCabe's lawyer, Michael Bromwich, (whom you may remember as part of Christine Blasey-Ford's legal team) sent a letter to Judge Sullivan a few days ago that Judge Sullivan ordered placecd on the docket. That is not uncommon for judges to do, btw. /2
So Bromwich's letter is a whiny screed about how - Oh. Mer. Gawd. - there are dates written on McCabe's notes that are not in his handwriting & how dare mean old @SidneyPowell1 use them to supplement her icky filings on behalf of Flynn! /3
