Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

The last 2 big batches of votes (which are now reported) came from two blue cities that are in red counties.

Oh okay. That makes sense then. Explains the rumour.

Well this is wrong because Kenosha is historically a blue leaning county. They voted for Trump in 2016 but it's currently considered a "swing" county.

To be fair Kenosha county was probably red before because a lot of the city of Kenosha wasn’t in that count.

Right now it looks like Biden has 270 on the nose with MI and WI, with a shot still in GA and PA (and I guess NC if a lot of absentees still float in).

One or two Georgia senate seats will be going to runoff in January, and that very well could decide the chamber.

All in all this is a whole lot better than last night.

Covok has never posted anything of value or substance, why anyone hasn't put this absolute bed-wetting coward on ignore is only because you love feeling your own ulcers get bigger.

I feel confident that we will get a hamstrung president Biden that disappoints every single person and Trump will win again in 2024 once he's had his brain inserted into Jr's skull. The boy was only bred to be a host anyway.

Ossoff v Perdue will be decided today or tomorrow barring a recount. It is not going to a runoff. Warnock v Loeffler is definitely going to a runoff in Jan.

yep. I was happily surprised when markey won the primary, though—really thought kennedy had a chance of pulling that off based on the name recognition alone

(and that markey won the senate again, but that was expected at that point)

you know, plenty of people over the years have criticized the chuds over the years for "voting against their self-interest" (including myself), but i think an uncomfortable truth we may need to hear is that, they are in fact, voting IN their self-interest. trump owning the libs, is as important to them as is keeping their health insurance. yes, MAYBE they will get to a point where their material conditions get bad enough that they will vote democrat, but trump being the personification of the conservative id is enough to make them support him, regardless of the damage he may do to them.

No cause I figured the polls would be off by a lot and we'd be in a close scenario that wouldn't be decided on election night or even the next morning and that at best we'd be waiting on a Blue Shift from mail-in and absentee ballots, which is why I chose to go to bed and I didn't need to read Reddit memes to figure that out.

Whoever gets the most votes in that election wins. Only Isaacs seat requires a 50% majority to avoid a runoff.
