It’s laughable that in 2020, this country still needs to be reminded, Sesame Street style, that Latinos are not a monolith & the Latino vote is a mirage. This misconception comes from how little u bother knowing us, how superficially u cover us & how absent we are in newsrooms.
Arizona: “Trump Supporters Demonstrate Outside Vote Processing Facility In Arizona”
“NBC News correspondent Gadi Schwartz reports from Maricopa County, Arizona, where a crowd of Trump supporters has gathered outside the county elections department building in Phoenix. Schwartz says the crowd has been chanting “Count that vote” and “Fox News sucks” to protest that network’s decision to call the state for Joe Biden. Schwartz says law enforcement has been escorting poll workers to their cars at the end of their shifts to prevent harassment by the crowd.”

“The former chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden explained (to Maddow, Reid, Wallace) that presiident Donald Trump’s lawsuits demanding an end to counting votes likely wouldn’t be successful.”
“Well, look, Rachel, they are both baseless and stupid,” Klain explained.
“They’re baseless in the sense that they have no legal basis at all. They’re stupid in the sense that one of the states where Trump is suing to stop the vote count in Michigan, where he is behind. So, if the vote count stops,
we win. So, it’s a particularly ridiculous legal strategy in the state of Michigan.”
“He explained that in Pennsylvania, Trump is alleging that there is no oversight of the counting of the ballots, which is also absurd. The counting process is being broadcasted online. Trump could watch it in real-time on any device he chooses.”
“Donald Trump had a formidable lead this morning,” Klain admitted.
“Two-thirds of it has gone away over the course of today. And we believe we are on track to win that state by 100,000 votes or more. So, the point we have been making throughout this entire period since the polls closed in that the votes have to be counted. That’s the democratic way. They are being counted in an orderly way. Trump has no real legal challenge to that at all. You saw from the report in Pennsylvania. People can watch the count on closed-circuit television. There is nothing mysterious. There is nothing secret here.

And whether that win is 270 or 290 electoral votes or more, whatever it is, it’s a win, it ousts Donald Trump from the White House and it puts our country on a chance to heal and to move forward again.

Looks like Georgia may have TWO runoffs for US Senate in January.

I believe Georgians who voted by mail in the Nov. 3 election will need to ask for a mail-in ballot again. (Put it on your to do list, Georgians, if you intend to vote by mail! In-person voting will start mid December.)
Many are asking me to phrase my GA tweets in a more definitive way. That's really not my role. (I hope everyone's cautious: we'll know soon enough.) I'm spelling out what we know, & questions left. (Esp. as I'm not watching this with a 'call desk' here, & hope to avoid mistakes.)
And, NV is in the pattern and cleared from landing ….
Biden wins the new votes in Nevada by 14 points, and there's still more late mail and provisionals left. I don't know if anyone will call it on this basis, as it's still fairly close and there's no *hard* data on what's out. But you can still pencil this into the Biden column
Additionally, Clark County (Las Vegas) appears to hold a disproportionate share of what's left. That would be good news for Biden, even if the remaining vote methods (late mail, provisional) weren't likely to his advantage
What once seemed like a far-off possibility now looks increasingly plausible: Georgia might play the starring role in Senate control #gapol#gasenhttps://t.co/uveRKVmXBg

Dekalb County GA (Decatur, Lithonia, parts of Stone Mountain)
Dekalb county counting # is done but they tell me they still have 1600 provisional ballots and 601 cured ballots. Also military ballots have until Friday to come in.
Biden campaign attorney Bob Bauer says the Trump campaign legal challenges are about misinformation and political theater.
“These lawsuits don’t have to have merit,” he says. “It’s to create an opportunity for them to message falsely what is happening in the election process.”
Dems are going to win these mail ballots coming in from Election Day and yesterday — 63K. And they should win them decisively. That leaves 60K provisionals, which have been evenly split.

The images of Trump trying to shut down a democratic election and his supporters chanting "stop the count" are being broadcast around the globe. A gift to autocrats everywhere.
The GOP appears likely to hold onto their Senate majority, although President Donald Trump may lose the White House, and McConnell is signaling that he plans to interfere with Biden’s ability to staff his cabinet, reported Axios.
“A source close to McConnell tells Axios a Republican Senate would work with Biden on centrist nominees but no ‘radical progressives’ or ones who are controversial with conservatives,” the website reported.
That could force Biden to stay away from Stacey Abrams, Susan Rice and Sally Yates, according to sources who suggested centrist Lael Brainard for Treasury or Tony Blinken for State — both of whom served with the former vice president in the Obama administration.

The largest remaining trove of absentee ballots in Georgia is in Chatham County, where election officials were working to finish counting nearly 17,000 outstanding votes. ⬇️⬇️ #gapolhttps://t.co/7uZ8MxGC4t
The Secretary of State’s office just said there are actually roughly 61k absentee ballots still out, though Democrats say the remaining total is likely to be higher. A state elections official described it as a “moving target” across Georgia’s 159 counties. Stay tuned. #gapolpic.twitter.com/vuSdJ2299Z
Glad to see finally cnn call the traitorous thug a liar on live teevee. Wish all the media mofos had all done it consistently in 2015 to stop the shitshow then and there.
I was trying to find how many votes were remaining in GA. This is what is on the SoS website:
With counting continuing in numerous counties throughout Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that as of 7:15 p.m. today there are approximately 18,936 ballots still outstanding.“Officials in numerous counties are continuing to count ballots, with strong security protocols in place to protect the integrity of our election,” said Raffensperger.
The reason Democrats are particularly optimistic: There are roughly 6,000 absentee ballots left in Clayton County – the state’s most Democratic county. Those totals alone can cover the rest of the gap. #gapolpic.twitter.com/QnVYkCJJeR
Moving on from the corrupt lying thug’s shitshow, this should not be forgotten and corrective actions to be taken on the so called ‘checks and balances’ nonsense.
Always remember who aided and abetted this abuse of Presidential power — and those who tried to stop it.
This should be getting more attention. It is as dangerous as the President’s remarks – if not worse – for the country. The explicit expression by counsel for the campaign of its expectation that SCOTUS justices appointed by the President will install him in the White House. https://t.co/HGu5WB1BOZ
The dynamics of the Alaska Senate race at this hour remain in a state of flux. With approximately 44.6 percent of the ballots not yet counted, we believe we will win once every vote has been counted in the state.
We need to have an election rigging meeting then. Bc Democrats are horrible at it. How did you rig an election to lose seats in the House and not flip the Senate?
Just in: Monroe Co., PA in the Poconos region just flipped to Biden w/ more mail ballots counted. Biden is now ahead there by 6.0% w/ 80k ballots counted. In 2016, Clinton won Monroe by just 0.7% w/ 70k ballots cast.

Watching all of this unfold in places like Philly, Detroit, and Atlanta, I just can't stop thinking about the decades, really the centuries, of pathology surrounding Black ppl and the vote. The way Black folks have been scapegoated & maligned, but continue to come through anyway.
Considering Trump spent most of his presidency talking shit about big cities like Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc., I would love to see these same cities gift wrap this clown an L.
In the primary, Black voters saved Biden in South Carolina and gave him life for Super Tuesday. And now Black voters in Philadelphia and Atlanta are going to bring him home tonight. Full circle.

And stop wishing/longing for white males to come back. They want to look like and be like republicans. The only reason democrats have any wins is because of Black voters, the women in particular. Stacey Abrams shook off her disappointment and went to work to expand the electorate in the centuries long tradition of abused and dismissed Black women getting back up to fight for her family and community more than herself because she can see and envision a better future and knows that it will only come about by working for it.

“A source close to McConnell tells Axios a Republican Senate would work with Biden on centrist nominees but no ‘radical progressives’ or ones who are controversial with conservatives,” the website reported.
That could force Biden to stay away from Stacey Abrams, Susan Rice and Sally Yates, according to sources who suggested centrist Lael Brainard for Treasury or Tony Blinken for State — both of whom served with the former vice president in the Obama administration.
I have evil thought running thru my head. Uggh! Eff Moscow Mitch. 😖 I so wanted him sidelined!
My evil thoughts top your evil thoughts Gazelle. I remember how MM did this same thing to Obama. Blocked him every way. NO No No….. . Such an evil dark force. His discolored hands reflect his darkened soul.
😂😂 and those hands 😏😏! Evil seeping out of his pores. 😖
Me too. Him and a few others…Ms. Lindsey and Concerning Collins to name a couple.
Nothing personifies evil like MM.
Biden can have Acting Secretaries then. Plus, he can use Executive Orders.
I’m hoping this time around, Democrats will be as devious as Republicans would be if it comes down to it.
I saw a suggestion of Biden making appointments during a recess. It made it seem as if Biden could force the recess. That part I wasn’t sure about.
President Biden and VP Harris need to go hardcore on these obstructionist Rethugs.
KARMA prevails in this election.
Wow. Good news are coming!
Even better…

Customs officers found more than 800 pieces of undelivered mail, including a few absentee ballots, in the trunk of a U.S. Postal Service letter carrier in western New York, authorities say.

Oh, look! Now NY is going to go for Trump.
NYPD Deputy Inspector James F. Kobel, whose job was to fight against workplace harassment, is under investigation for allegedly posting hundreds of racist messages under an anonymous moniker in an online chat board.

I am glad that MSNBC cut Trumpy’s press conference short. No need to give it any oxygen.
Saw that live (was about to switch off my TV) & ended up clapping! Bravo! Now, cut him off always! We’re done!
Oops…Sorry that was an old tweet.
jazziz2, I bet you are 💯🎯 about him joining the new administration. 🙂🙌💥
Glad to see finally cnn call the traitorous thug a liar on live teevee. Wish all the media mofos had all done it consistently in 2015 to stop the shitshow then and there.
Go Joe and Kamala. Go Obama 3.0 admin.
It’s good to see you, amk!
So good to see you amk! We still néed you here.
Sooooo, any extra grey hairs? If so, wishing they all have had a lo-ve-ly day!
I was trying to find how many votes were remaining in GA. This is what is on the SoS website:
With counting continuing in numerous counties throughout Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that as of 7:15 p.m. today there are approximately 18,936 ballots still outstanding.“Officials in numerous counties are continuing to count ballots, with strong security protocols in place to protect the integrity of our election,” said Raffensperger.
Again, where were these mofos five, six years ago?
Moving on from the corrupt lying thug’s shitshow, this should not be forgotten and corrective actions to be taken on the so called ‘checks and balances’ nonsense.
Family! 😍😍😍
The difference between Democrats and Republicans … Dems are a happier bunch, Repugs are miserable and angry.
Just my non-professional opinion. ☺
I concur. 😊
Alaska Senate race – Potential D gain???
I saw former VP Biden speak earlier, he looks more relaxed, looking good. ☺
Does anyone know how many votes are left to be counted in PA?
Joe, the comeback gramps. Go Joe.
It should have been much more higher and from the very beginning too.
We dems used to rant and rave about Waukesha County in WI about the counting delays.
Now your turn, rethugs.
The thug’s lead in GA now down to less than 2k.
Kudos to Stacey. Once again, black people save the dems’ asses and kick the racists’ gnads.
And yet overwhelming majority of whites didn’t and still don’t give a shit and voted for the corrupt and inept thug anyway. Only in murkkka.
Looks for Joe to take the lead in GA by midnight per AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Let’s do this GA.
C’mon AZ and NV … make it happen for Democrats, America and the World.
Heard there are still 8000 military ballots to arrive. I shall continue to keep the faith.
🙏🏾
G’night everyone.
That’s my County! My squad and I did that!
Yay! #MakingHistory
Heh!
Heard that earlier, too – so heartwarming!
😭😭😭
LOL! Watch this to the end!
These people are unbelievable!
Please share!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup.
Please share!
Also, it’s beginning …
… and he has no where to hide.
And, please reflect on ….
Yes We Did
Goodnight TOD.
da dotard turd is toast.

Yes, and yes!

Not only is Clayton County, Georgia working like to hell to make sure all votes are counted, I can’t help but to feel they are wanting it get it all done in honor of their Congressman John Lewis, our hero who loved our country so much.
The margin for Trump in Ga. is now about the number of women who have accused him of sexual assault.

“A presidency born in a lie about Barack Obama’s birthplace appeared on the edge of ending in a lie about his own faltering bid for re-election.”
JUST CAME BACK!
Joe Biden has now taken the lead in Georgia by 917 votes!
Better NCLB…463!!!
GEORGIA YES!!!!
Chrissie said he had been waiting for 5 hours to do this. John said that at least he did it in one take.
Dudette, a thousand kisses for GA and Stacey Abrams. Woot!!
Philly!!! 😄
😆😆😆
And stop wishing/longing for white males to come back. They want to look like and be like republicans. The only reason democrats have any wins is because of Black voters, the women in particular. Stacey Abrams shook off her disappointment and went to work to expand the electorate in the centuries long tradition of abused and dismissed Black women getting back up to fight for her family and community more than herself because she can see and envision a better future and knows that it will only come about by working for it.

NEW: The Postal Service discovered more than 1,000 ballots in Philadelphia facilities and 300 in Pittsburgh on Thursday and is rushing them to election officials ahead of a 5pm Friday deadline, according to a court filing posted just after midnight.
How ironic… President Trump who has disparaged the late John McCain and the late John Lewis is now trailing in both Arizona and Georgia. Two political giants whose legacy may deal Trump’s presidency it’s fatal blow.
I can almost imagine McCain giving tRump a thumbs down as he did with the health care vote.
From across the pond…
Morning everyone. Happy Friday!
GramPA Joe leads PA.
One call but I’ll take it!!!
Woot! 💙💙💙💙💙
Yes, Philly and PA put us over the line.
Eat that, trumpturds.
We will need to build a beautiful new Whitehouse for the new administration. There’s not enough Lysol in the galaxy to sanitize and de-STINK the old one.
And it’s relief for the rest of the world too.
HELL YEAH!!!
Good morning TOD
