Wow. This is going to be a nail-biter.

I'm gonna be hopeful and say we'll know tonight one way or the other. Hope I'm right.
Only way that happens IMO is if it's a landslide either way. If it's even remotely close it'll be at least tomorrow night at the earliest.

They have done everything they can to stop trump. If he wins, they are not finished. I suspect some of the swing state leadership will not certify the election on grounds of the insurrection law passed after the civil war. If it gets pass that there will be a fight in the House of Reps to use the law to stop him.

The sad state of our country is that neither party is willing to accept the results of a fair Presidential election. As soon as the election is over, the contesting begins. Once that's over the attempts to impeach begin. It never stops. And I fully expect that if Trump wins, we haven't seen the last assassination attempt.

Apparently the market believes that we are likely to have gridlock. The market loves gridlock.

As bad as it is here it's even worse in South American countries. Peru is on their 6th president in 8 years.

Every time I hear gridlock in conjunction with a potus race I think of Admiral Stockdale.

Man… Ross Perot…

Vermont just reelected Phil Scott. Incredible how much staying power he has had there.

I did several projects in Ecuador about 15 years ago. One of the locals that worked with us once told me that the reason the military headquarters was across the street from the presidential residence was so that the coups just involved crossing the street and thus were quick…

I'm pretty sure SCOTUS has prevented any State from trying to enforce the 14th Amendment in the absence of Congressional action.

Would not surprise me to see Electors objected to on Jan. 6 based on Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, but if the GOP flips the Senate that will be moot.

I think of getting off campus after a football game, although, it's been much better this year since a large number of fans have been leaving before the game ends......**

They stopped them from excluding him from the ballot. They did not address the certification. They did say it's up to Congress but that doesn't mean they will not try.

18 year old me voted for Ross. I was told by a woman who worked closely with him that his daughter's life was threatened to get him to stop his campaign when he was the leading candidate at the time.

Trump leads in all 3 "Blue wall" states.

But they are scraping up fake ballots from thin air. And ballots are showing up in Michigan and Pennsylvania in cars with out of state plates.
