In my county in Ohio, Summit (Akron) they posted the early and mail in voting tallies. 105k for Biden and 42k for Trump. Pretty cool. ---

Can’t emphasize that enough. Can somebody pass me a barf bag out here on the ledge? I don’t have any substances or booze and have never been a drinker or substance user anyway. What can I do to feel better? This is too hard. ---

Yeah I am worried about the mail-in versus election day votes in Ohio. There is probably a good reason the NYT did not pick it for their needle. So far the Needle is the best way to figure out what is happening and it is not looking good. It’s giving Trump a 62% chance of winning Florida, Georgia and NC. ---

If Trump wins another term you may well learn to drink. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > I don’t care how good their sandwiches are. Cuban voters in Florida are dead to me. They’re so worried about the authoritarian leftists they escaped from that they missed the fact that the real problem was the “authoritarian” part. So they turn around and vote for another authoritarian in their new adopted country. 🙄 ---

Trump will almost certainly win Ohio, but a poorer than expected showing there is a good indicator for Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania ---
