Yes, Biden is up in Wisconsin by close to 30,000 votes. It was just reported in Wisconsin there's only 300 votes left to be counted, one tiny county. Thus, Biden wins Wisconsin. However, the Trump side just came out and said they're requesting a recount. Let them do it. It won't change anything and nothing wrong with counting votes.

I'm still holding out hope that Biden will win, but I'm so appalled and disgusted that so many people voted for Trump when he's a vile, racist, homophobic and misogynistic bastard whose policies have contributed to the deaths of 240,000 people and counting, and thanks to him and his Republican cronies, this pandemic isn't close to being over, and he willfully disregards science and he treats anyone who listens to people like Dr. Fauci with contempt. I despise him with every core of my being. I just don't understand it. What the hell is wrong with the people of this country?

Well said, Jerry. I completely agree. My sister was so upset last night and said the same, exact thing. She's in a better mood this morning but still cannot believe the Republican Party and others that voted for Trump.

Whenever I focus on this, I just take a glance at the popular vote. They are outnumbered and at least we have this.

Also, should Biden win as they say in sports... a win's a win's a win. Trump will be defeated and that's the most important thing.

Thanks Michelle.

Another lesson learned is that all these polls that showed Biden way ahead ultimately meant nothing and were misleading, and it could have made some people complacent.

Another issue is how here in Texas Abbott made it so difficult for people who don't have access to transportation to vote by restricting mail-in ballots and allowing only one drop-off place per county to drop off mail-in ballots. Harris County (Houston) which has a large underprivileged population is huge, which would make it very difficult for people to drop off their mail-in ballots if they didn't leave near the drop off point. You could drive for 45 minutes and still be in Harris County! The Republicans can't win fair and square so they'll lie, cheat and steal to get what they want, and they're proud of it!

They're saying PA still has 2 million votes left to count but that Biden will win that state as well. It's too close for my comfort.

Trump campaign trying to stop PA from counting the votes.

Unbelievable. Literally trying to prevent every American from getting their vote to count. Pure evil.

Definitely.

Governor Abbott is filth. Disgusting. Yet... the Republican Party is about freedom away from Government control. The reality is the Republican Party lies, cheats, manipulates, tries controlling women, is trying to control when your right to vote is possible, etc.

What a joke of a party. Trump is a vile creature but Republicans in general are more similar to Trump than they'd ever admit. Hope this party pays a high price for still sticking with Orange-faced narcissistic criminal.

Biden/Harris talking now. As an Empath, I feel so peaceful and confident in this ticket. They are so united, strong, intelligent, and FOR the American people.

Biden just said the REST of the PA votes are all by mail aka Democrats. Oh man, I hope so!

Let's go, Blue! Let's GO Biden/Harris!
