🔔 Secretary of State of Pennsylvania is holding a press conference. “As you know we’re going to keep counting.” Discussing the 67 counties in the Commonwealth.
Not clear if she’s giving an updated count
“It’s very close in Pennsylvania, that means it’s going to take longer to see who the winner is. . . There are several hundred thousand ballots were meeting to be counted.” Look at their website.
That is a dictation error I think I meant to say “that need to be counted”

Folks. Biden and Harris are winning and will be our next President and VP. Period. Yes, let's keep counting the votes, of course.
Why have people (and places like @DecisionDeskHQ) "called" it, some are asking. Is it "official." Here's the answer
1/
There is no "official" call on who won the presidential race until January 6, 2021. Before that, we are close to an "official" call on December 14 when the electoral college meets in the states and transmits the vote to D.C.
2/
Before that, in mid November, many states "certify" their results. Many use December 8th as a "safe harbor" to resolve disputes. Then, if they do not transmit the vote to Washington by Dec. 14th, they have until December 23rd.

🧵Here we go. Anything could happen tonight. Final debate, moderated by Kristin Welker. #Debates2020
1/
First question is for Trump 🎃. Welker asked how he was going to manage the coronavirus going forward.
🎃 Trumpkin blames China again and claims that he should get credit because 2 million more people didn't die. Said "we have a vaccine that's coming, that's ready."
2/
🎃Says military will distribute. He said "this is a worldwide problem" and say she was "congratulated" by world leaders. Mentions how great the goggles are, etc.
Said, "we're rounding the turn, we're rounding the corner. It's going away."

🧵 I had an unusual dream right before waking. Someone was trying to test my banking law chops and posed the following hypothetical to me:
1/
The person in my dream asked me to explain how to complete a transaction involving the deliver of one trillion dollars and the equivalent in potatoes.
So I responded in the way one would to this bat shit crazy request. I asked, "U.S. dollars"? And he said yes.
2/
Warming up to the fact pattern, I then asked him where the nearest bank was. He replied that it was an hour and a half away and that we could not use it.
My reply? We would need to use a bank. Meanwhile, I said nothing about the potatoes.
