 Election Day +3

Who would have thunk it? The election still isn't settled. Some people were warning that the count would be protracted and they were right. Part of that is simply the fact that counting physical ballots take more physical handling and more time. It is wonderful that they tout their machines counting multiple 10s of thousands of ballots per hour. But when you have multiple millions of ballots that means many hours of counting.

Election Day + 4

Still no final decision on the presidential race. The percentages of votes already counted in the crucial states are in the 90% plus but the differences between the candidates are so slender that the remaining ballots may change the balance. I emphasized the 'may' because the chance that the split of the votes between #45 and Biden will change drastically in favor of #45 is about the same that any porker on a farm anywhere might suddenly sprout wings and fly.

Update: Well, all of the news outlets have called the election for Biden. About time. It has been a long four years and it isn't quite over since we still have #45 in office until January 20. Gods only know what damage he can do in that time. And we still have the hangover from the cruelty, rapacity, obscenity of #45 and his entire administration not to mention his Senatorial enablers most of whom are still in the senate.
