Has more, what?

Nevermind, they're similar. FOX News puts the country's popular vote total up top, that's all. Thought that was the Biden lead in WI for a second. Looks like WI is going to be 1-2% for Biden. I think it'll be out of recount territory. If the missing vote in WI is 60-40 it's enough.

There is still >350K ballots to be tallied in Wayne county Michigan. Wayne county is going +35 Biden.

bc GOP State legislatures set this up by not allowing votes to be counted until the 4th.

Michigan won't be that close. Nor Penn. It's over.

Trumpers are oppositional and racist. Q-types and flat-Earthers.

That, and stupidity accounts for roughly 45% of the electorate (read: GOP). Trump is arguably functionally-illiterate and these dirt floor fucks LIVE for his diarrhea.

Interestingly:
Trump is beating Biden by 1.4% and Tillis is beating Cunningham by 1.8% right now in NC. That affair might have done Cunningham in.
Trump is beating Biden by 2.2% right now while Perdue is beating Ossoff by 4.0%. So that debate didn't help him much.

I haven't seen anybody call the Senate for Collins, but she's up by 8.7% with 85% in. I don't know how the ranked choice voting will break down, but looks extremely unlikely that can be made up.

These are qualities that many Americans hold dear.

Sad, isn't it.

Trump is a great example to end primaries and let party insiders pick the nominees. Too much bullshit can happen when the average person has to choose 1/25 people. Too likely the craziest person will win by standing out and saying crazy shit. Then it's 50-50 they can become president. It's too fucking risky. It's one thing to have a few crazy senators or reps here or there, but they shouldn't be the POTUS.

Collins was supposed to lose in a crushing defeat if you believed the polls.

It's a problem that looks to be one-sided.
