BREAKING: Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator says “All of the ballots have been counted.” Joe Biden has won Wisconsin by 20,697 votes.@NBCNewshttps://t.co/SFs7NA1pIH
Someone from @USPS is going to jail for contempt unless they beg forgiveness and get all those ballots to their appropriate official destination. https://t.co/McHMmtOlEe
Sending a special thanks to you, Bobfr, I’ve found when the comments are so many and I can no longer log in here, I go to your twitter feed and read up on the ‘latest’. Find some of your rt’s are very informative and intelligent, and also I gain a lot from listening to Glenn Kirschner, he gives me hope! So thank you again, your contribution makes a big difference! 🕊💞🕊
Given that most people had stopped returning their ballots by mail at least a week ago, those ballots have been sitting for a while. Equates to malicious intent.
Wow! I went to bed early after being depressed last night when I went to bed. Upon waking up this morning I stayed away from all communications worrying that when I woke up it would be like it was four years ago. So just joining the world again I am hopeful.
Nevada temporarily suspended vote counting and will resume Thursday morning. The state still has all mail ballots received from Election Day onwards to count, as well as provisional ballots. With 70% of the votes counted, Biden leads Trump 49.2% to 48.6%.https://t.co/jIl0QfAm9v
President Trump's reelection campaign announced that it would "immediately" request a recount in Wisconsin, as vote totals showed him narrowly trailing Joe Biden with 95 percent of ballots reported https://t.co/LIithXre5S
I’m fucking tired of this. Every time, we can always count on white people young and old to fuck shit up.
Peoples lives are on the goddamn line and white people will still vote overwhelmingly to fuck them over. white supremacy is so bloody evil and you all need to take ownership of this.
Black women work hard to save this democracy over and over again. white people can always be counted on to be and do the worst.
white people need to take ownership of this and fix your community. white supremacy is on you. https://t.co/4NmdnOqZVP
I figured McConnell because, well, KY. I even figured Graham because, well, SC, even though I thought that race would be closer and that Harrison had a slight chance of winning.
But SUSAN COLLINS!!!! I thought Mainers had come to their senses! 🤦🏾♀️
Yes. We thought only a small minority of Americans are totally fine with fascism, white supremacy and massive death-counts, as long as they can go to the game, get their nails done and cuss out people who want to keep them safe. We were wrong.
I also have to believe that it goes beyond the cult-like attraction to tRump. His actions and antics were condoned by their elected [GOP] leadership. People who are their neighbors. People from their neck of the woods who are supposed to represent their interests. But for their hunger for power and wealth, perhaps these “leaders” could have put the Orange Oval Office Occupant in check and tamp down the childish, thuggish, narcissistic, criminal behavior. Behavior that appealed to the worst instincts in people and gave them the permission they sought to act on it.
Bad news for Agolf Twittler is good news for me: Wow! It looks like Michigan has now found the ballots necessary to keep a wonderful young man, John James, out of the U.S. Senate. What a terrible thing is happening! (IQ45)
Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) won reelection for a second term, beating back a challenge from conservative Republican Dale Crafts.
The Associated Press declared Golden the winner on Wednesday afternoon. With 95 percent of precincts reporting, he had 53 percent of the vote while Crafts had 47 percent.
With 93% reporting in Michigan, Biden leads Trump by 48,000 votes. With 92% reporting in the Michigan Senate race, Democrat Gary Peters leads by 1,020 votes.
“Someone may have a price to pay for that,” DC federal judge Emmet G. Sullivan says re: USPS failing to comply with his order to sweep mail facilities by 3 pm yesterday.
At USPS hearing just now, plaintiffs' atty urges that, going forward, J Sullivan require of USPS the "identification of the number of ballots they're finding, because that's relevant as an accountability measure"
For this reason, @SamSpital at today's hearing asked J Sullivan to order a sweep of Texas facilities, esp. Houston area, this afternoon so that any lingering ballots "are identified are delivered in a timely way."
Mondaire Jones, a young progressive candidate from New York, will be one of the first openly gay Black men elected to Congress. https://t.co/L5MwMIUcbW
Stop. You are losing. These are lawful votes of American Citizens exercising their franchise. What we said was “ YOUR FIRED “. Good riddance https://t.co/qUN0cswbBD
Judge Emmet Sullivan was so angered by the USPS's inability to sweep its facilities for ballots that he said he will want answers under oath from Louis DeJoy.
"I agree the Postmaster is either going to have to be deposed or testify before me under oath." https://t.co/AQUewdfVxt
Democrats FLIPPED Michigan's Supreme Court by gaining a seat there (& defending another): a big prize.
Democrats also gained a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court, but they needed to gain 2 to flip the chamber: instead, they narrow the GOP's advantage to 4-3. (It was 7-0 as of 2018).
Months ago, my bosses and I met and we literally said "it would be good to know exactly how the USPS works come Election Day." That is why I spent months learning. And that is why I am telling you now: there is no good evidence of missing ballots. https://t.co/EhZfti5Vyd
I don’t understand why people are still surprised/upset that a majority of white people and certain Hispanic groups vote republican no matter what. Nothing has changed for them or in them. Stop worrying about them and continue to add other multiracial groups to our coalition and stop wringing hands over the lost cause. They need their feelings of superiority more than they need clean air, a stable economy and healthcare. Now you know who they are so deal with them accordingly and keep it moving.
I never expected The Child Snatcher from Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang could end up as President, much less come close to a second term. pic.twitter.com/cDnZbIY9qZ
Looking at Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have been treated the worst by our democracy consistently do the most to save it.
Latest from Fulton County (@FultonInfo) on absentee ballots:
Last night, 74K absentee ballots were tabulated/included in reported results. There are approximately 42.4K to be opened, scanned and adjudicated today.
In terms of other counties with some size, there are also some outstanding ballots from DeKalb, Clayton, Chatham, Bibb and Richmond (all blue), as well as Houston (red). Smaller red counties also not fully reporting.
Looking at Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have been treated the worst by our democracy consistently do the most to save it.
For all the "rah rah patriotism" conservatives love to pretend, Black voters embody what it truly means to be a patriot.
We're exhausted but know we can't depend on anyone else for our liberation. We've got people coming behind us; so we demand better for them and us. https://t.co/rZ2p7yRjb9
Looking at Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have been treated the worst by our democracy consistently do the most to save it.
More people have now voted for @JoeBiden than ANY other Presidential candidate EVER and yet he is not declared the winner because of—wait for it—the electoral college.
Proving yet again that the electoral college which doesn’t even see Black folks as fully human—has GOT to go.
GA UPDATE: Biden continues to close the gap. Now down ~86,124 votes. There are 63,000 outstanding Fulton absentee ballots, which is about 27% of Georgia’s 236,000 uncounted absentee ballots– the lion's share of those are in DeKalb, Gwinnett. ALL are Dem strongholds.
UPDATE: The Trump campaign, Eric Trump, Kayleigh McEnany, and others are falsely claiming victory in Pennsylvania. This is a lie. Pennsylvania has not been called by any reputable source as there are approx 1 million votes still left to count. pic.twitter.com/olA8LpOEb4
Neither Michigan nor Pennsylvania seem poised to be especially close, say under a point, once all of the votes are counted. Still a lot of uncertainty in Pennsylvania, but this doesn't look like a looming recount situation
Joe Biden: "We the people will not be silenced. We the people will not be bullied. We the people will not surrender. My friends, I'm confident we'll emerge victorious."
Hey does anyone know the answer to this:
If we only get 3 Senate seat flips (1 shy of the 4 needed for control), and someone convinced Angus King to change from Independent to Democrat, would that give us the majority or is he already included since he caucuses with Democrats?
Meanwhile, Trump's lead in Georgia is down to just 1.4 points with a lot of Democratic vote still out. Will be razor thin here–and it seems on track to end up in recount territory, either way
VP BIDEN just now:
“Now every vote must be counted. No one is going to take our democracy away from us.
Not now, not ever. America has come too far. America has fought too many battles. America has endured too much to every let that happen. We the People will not be silenced. We the People will not be bulled. We the People will not surrender. My friends, I am confident we will emerge victorious. But this will not be my victory alone or our victory alone. It will be a victory for the American people, our democracy. There will be no blue states and red states when we win. Just the United States of America. God bless you and may god protect our troops.”
The presidency, itself, is not a partisan institution. It's the one office in the nation that represents everyone and it demands a duty of care for all Americans, and that is precisely what I will do.
“A tweet claims US battleground state Nevada has stopped counting votes
in the presidential election until November 5, two days after polls closed. This is false;
a Nevada department of state spokeswoman said the elections division will continue counting ballots all day,
but updates to the results will not be released until November 5.”

I’m willing to WAIT for it
Thank you, NW, forever.. I miss so much but it is wonderful to have a few
minutes to catch up with all o’ y’all on a new thread!
Big hugs all around from

Really appreciate your kind words, Pamela.
Have always viewed my twitter feed as a repository of interesting perspectives and reports rather than a personal diary 🙂
So glad you find it informative.
Peace!
Yes We Can (and Did, once again!)

The crux
I’m fucking tired of this. Every time, we can always count on white people young and old to fuck shit up.
Peoples lives are on the goddamn line and white people will still vote overwhelmingly to fuck them over. white supremacy is so bloody evil and you all need to take ownership of this.
Ugh! Lindsey Grahan, McConnell and Susan Collins are still in power. Dayum!!!
I figured McConnell because, well, KY. I even figured Graham because, well, SC, even though I thought that race would be closer and that Harrison had a slight chance of winning.
But SUSAN COLLINS!!!! I thought Mainers had come to their senses! 🤦🏾♀️
Can’t believe Collins won.
Did the House lose seats to Republicans?
AP: President Trump has won the electoral vote in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, according to an AP race call.
I didn’t know Maine split its votes!
We lost the ability to do critical thinking — applicable to those who did not vote for Biden.
I also have to believe that it goes beyond the cult-like attraction to tRump. His actions and antics were condoned by their elected [GOP] leadership. People who are their neighbors. People from their neck of the woods who are supposed to represent their interests. But for their hunger for power and wealth, perhaps these “leaders” could have put the Orange Oval Office Occupant in check and tamp down the childish, thuggish, narcissistic, criminal behavior.

I really don’t understand the ppl who would vote for a Dem President but vote for a Repub Senator. What exactly are they hoping for? A stalemate????
Hamilton County, Ohio: “The sheriff fired her because she’s a lesbian so she ran against him. She’ll be the new sheriff now.”
Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) won reelection for a second term, beating back a challenge from conservative Republican Dale Crafts.
The Associated Press declared Golden the winner on Wednesday afternoon. With 95 percent of precincts reporting, he had 53 percent of the vote while Crafts had 47 percent.
So important!
So, is a lawsuit or a recount coming from Agolf Twitler against WI too?
Who knows? 🙄 Luckily, we have an army of lawyers ready to pounce.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Whose fault is it if they did not have “meaningful” access? This most certainly should be thrown out.
I don’t understand why people are still surprised/upset that a majority of white people and certain Hispanic groups vote republican no matter what. Nothing has changed for them or in them. Stop worrying about them and continue to add other multiracial groups to our coalition and stop wringing hands over the lost cause.

This man is an evil dictator, pure and simple.
Twitter needs to shut him down or be held responsible for resulting (negative) actions.
And FB
THIS!
Count Every Vote – Georgia
Count Every Vote – America
President Obama truly is the GOAT.
GA in play, for sure ….
It ain’t gonna happen ….
BREAKING: Large, animated crush of “stop the count” protestors trying to push their way into TCF hall in Detroit where ballots are being counted.
They’re being blocked by guards at the door.
Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense.
Police have now been called in to the Detroit counting room to try and protect the doors. Feels like the fake GOP “riots” in Florida in 2000.
Ridin with Biden
Biden is speaking now. Please post a link.
Here ya go!
Great statement by the very-soon-president-elect!
👍🏾
Pete!
CNN: Biden wins Michigan.
Biden at 253. If Arizona and Nevada go to Biden it will take him to 270. Keep the light burning thru this darkness of Trump….

Yes and Joe did say “when we win”.
(It’s so over.)
+ my 4 cents worth:
DEMOCRATS – STAY TOGETHER.
Even of we don’t take the Senate
