David Rice Atchison may have been acting President for a day (between Polk and Taylor) - but no one ever counts him as the 12th President.
Well thanks a bunch for that flashback.
So in places where it gets good and hot, why wouldn’t you have a basement? Seems like it’d be just the thing. Gotta be a reason.
Modnote:
Maybe start a thread on this in IMHO.
But further discussion of Basements doesn’t belong here.
This is not a warning, no worries. Just a guidance.
Here is the link to the new thread in fact:
Indeed.
Done. 
Thanks for these updates.
It’s making me feel better to know that we won’t be having to wait until Dec. 7 (?) to know who officially won the vote.

So this just happened…
I’m afraid I’ll be checking my watch and this thread and CNN/NBC/TPM all day… maybe I’ll just set an alarm for 4:45 pm and try not to check before that.
I believe for the first time in history, Michigan just failed to certify its results because the two Republicans want to fuel Trump’s loony theories.
I believe it moves up one step from there and my very primitive understanding is that the vote, which is much bigger than the 2016 margin, will be certified.
It’s the board in Wayne County, where Detroit is located. The two Pubs refused to certify, so it now goes to the state board.
The state board doesn’t meet until November 23.
But…I think it is most likely going to be certified there, isn’t it?
According to the Post article, yes. Wayne County is heavily Democratic, so this is just posturing.
Hell, ALL of it is just posturing.
Ya think?
What a fucking shitshow. Thanks, GOP.
I’m about to go out on the ledge again after this Wayne County refusal to certify and the FEC toady. We sure the FEC toady can’t do something in Trump’s favor?
The reelection campaign of President Donald Trump, having failed to persuade the majority of American voters, is now making its case to the American courts. The campaign and its allies aren’t doing much better in the latter quest than they did in the former. Close to half of the two dozen or so cases brought since Election Day in key swing states have already been withdrawn or tossed by judges, with many of the rest seemingly destined for a similar fate. American politics may be notoriously divided, but inside the halls of justice, at least one example of unanimity seems to be prevailing: Whether the judges are liberal or conservative, working for state or federal courts, they’ve overwhelmingly demanded that the Trump and Republican plaintiffs deliver evidence to back their claims and they’ve been quick to reject what they consider baseless lawsuits.
One pattern has emerged in the fusillade of lawsuits: a frenzied search for a sympathetic judge. In each of four states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada and Arizona — the Trump campaign and its allies have filed a succession of suits that make essentially the same claims before several different state and federal judges.
…
Well, dang. What was the point of picking all those judges?
Im paywalled from the Post, can you please give a summary?
