Election Week 2020

Tonight was the first of the three that I have turned on MSNBC/CNN. A sign of some hope returning to my outlook.

I have not watched the news, local or national, in four years. Just because I could not take the chance of hearing him talk. Even in passing. I am going to bathe in his denouement. And that of his enablers.

We've now hit the "the Cubs just took the lead after the rain delay" stage of the proceedings. Now to wait nervously to see if they hold on.

I am shocked that GA is going blue, while FL didn't. Gonna do something about that.

How about that--Clayton County, the home of Tara, can send one more Confederate soldier packing tonight.

To clarify on one Georgia point above, I understand that military ballots are being counted and have been incorporated into these numbers. Late arriving military ballots (deadline tomorrow) would be all that’s left. The only other significant batch is provisionals, and there is very good reason to think Biden will dominate those. The biggest question has been whether Biden would be leading when it came time to count them (which impacts legal strategies, etc.)

It’s a question of when, not if, in Georgia.

If substantial votes in clayton still outstanding it's done. Don't get no blacker and less accredited than clayton county. Mind you, the same terrible fucks that make me show for board meetings without masks on... But sounds like they might deliver.

Will I be up for that?

Yes.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Nov 05, 2020 9:37 pm

One thing you don’t need to worry about in Clayton is the white power crowd showing up to stop the count.

1900 ...

(Edit - I don’t know if this incorporates the votes Rex linked to a couple minutes ago.)

No worries Vernon Jones is on tv making sure everything is on the up and up in DeKalb.

I'm kinda interested in the total amount of military ballots of Georgians that are overseas that returned ballots. In fact, I'd love to see a breakdown of state by state for members that vote absentee.

I like that it will be John Lewis' old district that will put Biden in the lead shortly. I like that very much.

That’s funny but I also think there is will be some Pulitzer reporting about interference from the gop following all this.

In keeping with cardboard cutouts for events they should put one of Lewis in trumps seat if Biden wins because you know Trump won’t be there.

It would be just perfect. Getting kinda dusty in here actually, thinking about the poetry of that.

I was going to go to bed. But I have a can of ginger ale with just enough for one more bourbon. So I guess I stay up.

Yeah I just got that a second after I posted.

Let the record reflect that I’ve found some bourbon to drink. I do not drink whiskey of any kind.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Thu Nov 05, 2020 11:35 pm

If this were any other situation, the sharps would have called PA for Biden. I think Fox jumping the gun on Arizona and the Trumpian climate has made them otherwise cautious. Clever Nate.

My wife and I got a chuckle from your post. We dug up some old ginger ale last night for our whiskey.

Tonight it’s just on the rocks. I’m completely at the mercy of autocorrect already.

Sounds like Philly PD is surrounding the Center where the ballots are being counted and have already arrested two men from Virginia who came up armed to attack poll workers.

Newt Gingrich is now asking Bill Barr to arrest poll counters.
