Trumpists keep repeating wrong numbers, hoping that the reiteration will magically transform them into the official count. Wrong-O, but they’re continuing the legal maneuvering. This time a GOP legislator’s suit tries to invalidate a GOP-passed law in order to throw out Democratic votes and fails in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. x 🚨BREAKING: We just notched another win for…

GOP's PA certification last stand: “bad faith, dilatory motive, prejudice, or futility”
There's a slight delay in the PA certification announcement if only because “This is not at all frivolous.” Now 1-36 in lawsuits, the Trump campaign tries to claim again on appeal of a technicality that every Pennsylvania postal ballot is illegal because “defective mail ballots”, that they should be thrown out to be replaced by a statistical…

Trump campaign official admits their plan is to get legislatures to nix election results
As we watch Rudy Giuliani’s last marble circle the sanitarium shower drain where they hose down the real hard-luck patients, it’s important to note that his lurid side show is just that — a bad-faith effort to convince idiots that there’s actually something to Donald Trump’s protracted loser tantrum.

Recount 2020: Contested states and their recount rules
So, as I’m writing this, it’s pretty clear that Biden is going to win enough states to be the next President. But that won’t be official for awhile. Some of these races were tight.

I think we'll be okay, but man oh man
As I write this, blurry-eyed and still a bit nervous, things are looking much better for Joe Biden. But last night felt like watching an oncologist diligently search my chest X-ray for tumors. For eight hours. “Yeah, you might have a tumor here, or here, or here. Too early to call. Just for the sake of…
'From this house to the White House': Biden signs wall in his childhood home
How are we all feeling? Judging from my own feelings and observations, “cautiously optimistic” seems to be the prevailing mood this morning. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Trump's lies are getting sillier, stupider, and staler. Last night's superspreader rally was a doozy
Stuart Spittle, the incredible shrinking candidate, was spinning the hits last night in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
