It is looking like a Biden win, all it took was a year of heavily biased media coverage slamming his opponent and not Biden, bogus polls meant to discourage his opponents supporters by making it look like Biden had it in the bag, a ridiculous amount of money poured into the campaign that far exceeded that of his opponent, and at a minimum some interesting goings on with mail in ballots.  It was a stacked deck from the start. 

People are just sick of Trump and his daily BS. If anything, the polls ignited Trump voters to come out in droves to take down the polls. I can't stand the media either and do feel that is biased one way vs the other, but it has been that way for years and is nothing new.

I would like to believe that Biden would be able to create some sort of bipartisan support in Congress. I agree that Harris has no shot, and R's and D's must pick two completely new candidates next time.

Nikki in 2024?

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf: "We may not know the results today"

How this is somehow acceptable is completely embarrassing.

You realize the reason for this is the Republican legislature decided to leave the old rules in place and not allow counting prior to Election Day and also, this is nothing new?

I will agree with this. The vote was personality over policy for many. Similar to finding a surgeon you like personality wise only to leave with a permanent colostomy bag.

Why should they have had to change election laws two weeks prior to the election?

So people aren't complaining about how long an unprecendented number of mail-in ballots take to count? They expected roughly 10x the amount the recieved in 2016 and the counties asked for a change in the rules to allow them to be counted ahead of time so there wasn't a delay in reporting. Changing the law on how they can be processed is the only way to do that. They chose not to. Hence, we are where we are.

Logistically, why does it take longer to count mail in votes? Is it simply a matter of opening them?

And in Minneapolis last night protesters spray painted store fronts and threw debris into the streets blocking traffic while carrying a banner "America is Over". That city and state deserves everything coming it's way when the Floyd verdicts shake out.

Maricopa County has 248,000 early ballots that arrived on Monday and Tuesday remaining to count, along with 10,000 provisional votes that were cast on Election Day. 

However, Maricopa County officials could not estimate the number of early ballots that had been dropped off at polling places, which could increase the number of ballots left to count by another 100,000 to 200,000 on top of The Republic's 400,000 estimate.

The comments and social media posts from the PA AG are exactly why votes can not be counted during the process of votes being cast.

The "polling" is already voter interference, then officials being able to claim, early counts show one canidates lead is insurmountable disenfranchises a huge numner of voters

How are we not better than this regardless of the outcome??  This is unbelievable. A divided country in this year specifically with all the other BS doesn't need this.
