Could be? Unfortunately this thing is playing out like I hoped it would not, so close either side leaves feeling the election was tainted. If Trump wins narrowly, the left claims voter suppression, if Biden wins, the right claims voter fraud.
This country needed a victory by either side that left little doubt.
The undisputed facts are this country is deeply divided right down the middle. And modern day polling is a waist of time.
At this point a divided congress is probably best as neither side can run rampant. Hopefully they will see the division in this country and try to work together, for a change, and get us through this time.
Neither side can claim a mandate.
That's ironic considering Trump won in 2016 narrowly by the barest of margins and all the concerns by Democrats were outright dismissed by Republicans. Trump declared that he won even after losing the popular vote by 3 million and did everything he wanted
Now the shoe is on the other foot, by February people will get bored of the claims especially given how big the national vote count is for Biden.
