We still have a few states to go; so, we’re not done with this yet. Currently, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alaska remain up for grabs.
However, this is whee we stand at this moment:
We’ll just have to keep our eye on everything and post any credible updates as they become available.
More importantly and worth sharing with RWNJs or your Crazy Uncle Joe, Joe Biden ‘has now won more votes than any presidential candidate in American history as of Wednesday afternoon, passing Obama’s 2008 record of more than 69.4 million ballots cast in his name.’
Trump is a close second but that just shows a few things:
- People voted.
- We’re so divided.
- Youngsters came of age and exercised their right to vote and they’re a bigly voting bloc.
- And, we’re so divided.

Trump campaign files new federal lawsuit against Philadelphia election officials
The Trump campaign filed a new lawsuit Thursday afternoon against Philadelphia elections officials for allegedly violating their due process rights by blocking the observation of ballots in the city.
This complaint doesn’t seem to include any details about how and why canvassing might have been blocked.
This case appears to be mirroring the case in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court from earlier today.
This is a new claim in federal court alleging violations of constitutional instead of state law. There is a 5:30 p.m. hearing scheduled.

Update: PA

A Missouri elections supervisor who knew they tested positive for the coronavirus and still worked at a polling site on Election Day has died.
The unidentified election judge supervisor in St. Charles County tested positive for the virus on Oct. 30 and failed to isolate for the recommended two-week period, the county said on Thursday. It is unclear what caused the election worker’s death.

Unless you’re cheating why on earth would you not allow people to watch what’s going on?
When you see the statistical impossibilities that they are claiming to be fair votes you have to wonder.
Each and everyone of these folks should be audited fully. https://t.co/Whmfdd4C06

Trump Lawsuits Against Michigan and Georgia Have Been Tossed
The Trump campaign’s lawsuit filed against Georgia for “late-arriving ballots” that were “improperly handled” is tossed.
“Having read and considered said petition, all argument and evidence of record, including the evidence presented at the hearing, and the applicable law, the Court finds that there is no evidence that the ballots referenced in the petition were received after 7:00 p.m. on election day, thereby making those ballots invalid,” Bass said in a brief, one-paragraph decision.
A state court judge in Michigan denied a Trump campaign request to halt vote counting there over GOP claims that republicans did not have access to absentee ballot handling.

Arizona secretary of state: "No legal ground for us to stop counting"
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs says the state is “prepared” for a potential legal challenge from the Trump campaign on Thursday morning, adding there was “no real legal basis to stop counting” ballots. Former Vice President Joe Biden currently holds an advantage in Arizona and CBS News estimates it is a likely win for the Democrat.
“Quite honestly there’s no legal ground for us to stop counting ballots,” Hobbs said on “CBS This Morning.” “We don’t have a postmark deadline in Arizona. Our ballots have to be received by Election Day. Those are the votes we’re counting.”

Puerto Rico votes for statehood again
Puerto Ricans voted in favor of U.S. statehood Tuesday, the sixth time the territory has backed such a nonbinding referendum, the New York Times reported.
The U.S. territory voted 52 percent to 48 percent in favor of the referendum. While the question won by a large margin in 2017, pro-independence and pro-territory groups boycotted the vote, leading to just 23 percent turnout.
Turnout was around 51 percent for the 2020 plebiscite and gubernatorial election but was far below the average for previous votes for governor.

WaPo Updates:
Today could be a tipping point: The Post has not called some key states as they continue to count and release vote tallies. As of 6:40 a.m.:
- In Georgia, Trump’s lead is down to roughly 18,000 votes. Fulton County was expected to finish its counting overnight.
- In Nevada: Biden is ahead by roughly 7,600 votes and we’re expecting a significant update at noon today.
- In Arizona, Biden’s edge is a little over 68,000 votes, though we’re waiting for Maricopa County to post more numbers throughout the day. Some news organizations such as Fox News and the Associated Press already projected a win.
- North Carolina, a state the president is fighting to keep, has 117,000 outstanding ballots that remain and until Nov. 12 to count them. Trump is leading by nearly 77,000 votes.
- In Pennsylvania, Trump has maintained his lead with an estimated 91 percent of the votes counted. But Biden’s lead in the suburbs is growing as mail ballots continue to be counted — “a phenomenon known as ‘the blue shift,'” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Andrew Seidman. The number of mail ballots to count is expected to increase; the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is allowing them to be counted if they’re returned to county elections offices by 5 p.m. on Friday.

MAGAts gather outside Maricopa County Elections Department
First they wanted the counting to stop, now they chant, “count those votes” and referenced conspiracy theories about ballots filled out with Sharpies not being counted. The claim, which originated with a viral video on Facebook, has been debunked by Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D).
