PA, MI, WI & MN are the 4 key states to Biden’s victory. After those he would need a surprise like taking Florida or Texas. ---

Ohio ain’t over yet. Most of the deep red counties are 95% or more completed, but the cities Cleveland 64%, Toledo 47%, Columbus 66% and Cincinatti 69%) still have large numbers of votes to report. Could be a nail-biter there. ---

CNN is showing that Trump is leading the popular vote, 51% - 48%. (sigh) ---

True, but the California vote will probably tip that back to Biden. ---

It’d be fun to listen to him bitch if he wins the popular vote while losing the EC. And, in unsurprising news, McConnell is re-elected. ---

Could be a nail-biter there. Biden will likely take heart from OH even if he loses it, as Pennsylvania rolls out its results over the next few days. Michigan is very alarming early on, but, again, I have zero idea what order they count their votes in. Still, losing Michigan, which Clinton lost by one quarter of one percent, would be a disaster, and it’s hard to look at the county results and be optimistic. The numbers are truly bizarre. ---

They are talking about Trump taking Wisconsin. It’s going to be the same as 2016. Biden will need to flip Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania and I am afraid he will not get them all. I am just so depressed that America will vote for Trump again. The Senate is probably still Republican. McConnell and Graham both won which was expected, but I did have hopes that sensible people would vote them out. I really wanted a blowout. Pennsylvania does not even begin to count mail-in ballots until tomorrow. If it comes down to Pennsylvania it will go to the courts. I just feel sick. What people don’t get is that it’s not only personal dislike of Trump, but also the feeling that this country is not the country I thought it was.
