Fulton county looks a bit soft for Harris. 71.5% for her. Biden got 72.5%. Even a one percent slip there is enough to lose the state. ---

Yeah, the polls basically said “within margin of error, so too close to call” and I predict that that’s how the night will end. ---

> [@MaxTheVool](#): > > I’m sitting at a table with my cousin who is going deep into PA county by county results, and feeling very optimistic for Harris…. What happens if we hold PA but lose Georgia and Arizona ? WI, MI, PA + NE-1 get Harris to 270 electoral votes and the Presidency. Any one of GA, NC, AZ, and NV — or any surprise state like OH — gives Harris breathing room. ---

This is painful. Every time CNN shows a Trump-favorable count, I assume the worst. Every time CNN shows a Harris-favorable count, I assume “well, it’s too early to say - they just counted the Harris-supporting areas first, later it’s going to change.” Anyway, as long as I’m a pessimist, I can only be pleasantly surprised. Just poured my first glass of wine. (It’s 3:38 here as I type). We leave for a “party” in a few minutes although perhaps it will be a wake or the equivalent of family gathering in the hospital with a terminally ill patient. Bringing a tasty comfort food dish (pasta Alfredo with greens, as published today in the NYT food section) and a bottle of locally produced mead. ---
