As of 10:00 am EST on November 4th Trump has secured 213 electoral, and Biden 238. 270 is the magic number to reach to win the Presidency. Of note, Biden is well ahead in the popular vote as well with approx 2.5 million more votes than Trump. Thank Kalifornia for that.
Currently, Trump leads and is expected to take Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alaska. These add up to a total of 53 electoral votes. This would leave him with 267 in total. Biden leads and is expected to win Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan. With their combined 32 electoral votes, Biden would win with 270 even.
There are still ways Trump could win but folks – it doesn’t look good. If he comes from behind and takes Nevada then he wins. Michigan is still possible but it’s very close. Time will tell.
A lot to think about, to contemplate. If Trump does not pull off the win where do we go from here? The importance of this election can not be overstated. The shift in how this country is to be led is dramatically more radical and progressive than when Obama took office in 2008. God-given, Constitutional Right hang in the balance.
I’ll send out another update later.
Thoughts?

Some really scary stuff here about to happen. At least it looks like we keep the Senate and are still taking more seats in the house. Time will tell.
My stomach went bad last night, well, in the wee hours when they said that states would stop counting for the night. I knew that meant serious trouble. It means they wanted to pause to see how many ballots they needed to manufacture. I never did sleep a wink. This is a frightening development.
I hope the courts can resolve this coup attempt peacefully or I see a bloody mess coming.
I’m sorry but it’s not gonna get any better folks no matter the outcome. Prepare while you still can because bloodshed is coming. I’m 74 years old and like many others, I’ve never seen such hate in our country. And I’m also sorry because I feel like my generation didn’t do enough to stop some or all of this crap. Good luck and prayers to you all!
As a poll worker and we had a lot of new voters and people who had never voted a nd many independents yesterday. We also had some came to vote and wanted to register to do so, sorry that has to been done 29 days prior to the election, this seem to have happened county wide. I can only speculate whichever for, but I have y suspicions it was not Trump. We also had some felons who wanted to vote, again, sorry, due to something that done to fulfill your obligation to the state your rights had it been restored. It was an intresting day seeing things I had not seen before.
They just invalidated any election result now and in the future, by eliminating transparency to process and results. That means that the presidency will become now and forever a political appointee, and not the will of the people.

Agree 100% GG58.
I think it is what it is and I believe we are in for a coming explosion. When? Maybe morning, maybe noon, maybe evening and may be soon but the pressure has been building and has to released. A slow release vs a quick release will determine the damage to the nation and what the resulting costs will be. So, we wait and watch and stay ready and prepared. It’s great that everything has remained fairly peaceful, slow release, and we will see what happens when the winner is named. Stay alert America – Keep Looking Up
But you can’t call it a winner when it is a stolen election. A target maybe but not a winner.
I don’t Understand why the history of child abuse hasn’t been investigated further to get people like that removed from position of power and influence . If ANY , of the claims are true no government should pay a wage or allow that person opportunity to strike again. Let alone run for president of a country. What kind of message is this sending to children? You don’t have to love trump , but think of the logical alternatives. Sometimes it’s not voting for someone but against someone else. And looking at the figures before covid19 trump had a great record with business. You might not like the tweets or showmanship but from where I sit he was getting the job done. I had two guys arguing in my lawn about it whilst I was putting out the bins . Which was strange to see, never seen anything like it, Australians dont even get that passionate about our own system. Generally I like to stay out of politics but that’s just my opinion .
It seems Trump’s victory in 2016 was one last, desperate and glorious attempt at holding off the inevitable. Yes we still have the senate and Supreme Court. This will cushion our fall but make no mistake, that’s all it is. Do all you can to isolate and insulate yourself from what’s coming, or pay the price…
I want to add that we should be extremely grateful for what happened in 2016, for Trump’s election. It changed the future and bought us time, and his presidency proved that our ideas are right. His 3 SCOTUS picks will continue to be a benefit for some time to come.
Agree.
Well we held the Senate, so at least we have that firewall against the President Harris/Biden agenda. There is also little to no chance of the Democrats re-taking the Senate in 2022, based on the map of what Republicans will be up for re-election. In 2022, the Republicans will only need to flip an additional 16 congressional seats to re-take the House, doable in a mid-term election for sure. I suspect Trump will fill every vacant federal judge before he leaves office.
All hail president Kamala!
Long live president Kamala!
I’m thinking someone is a couple cans short of a six pack. LOL
