    This is in keeping with Trump's theory that if we just stop testing for Covid-19 we won't have so many cases.

    It's hard for them to keep straight whether the chant of the day is "Stop The Count" or "Keep That Count Agoin'"

    it appears Biden is only ahead 8k in NV pretty slim margin...
    Trump may pull it off or contest it and send the whole thing to court in which case he could win as well
    Amazing no Biden landslide no democratic routing
    the more things change the more they stay the same

    Democrats lose seats in House.


    ‘Dumpster fire’: House Democrats trade blame after Tuesday’s damage

    excerpt:

    "Just 24 hours earlier, Democrats including Bustos and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were boasting about the opportunity to expand their majority, with some even predicting they could win as many as a dozen seats in the House by clawing back GOP territory in the suburbs of Texas, Ohio and Illinois.

    But by Wednesday morning, party officials and the rank and file were in panic mode as they awaited the results of nearly 20 members of the Democrats’ historic freshman class that handed the party control of the House just two years ago. And already they were saying goodbye to at least a half-dozen of their centrist Democratic colleagues, who were stunned by GOP challengers on Tuesday, including Abby Finkenauer in Iowa and Donna Shalala in Florida.

    “I think there’s still a lot of uncertainty. I would say the high expectations that a number of pollsters and pundits created obviously have not been met,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said in an interview Wednesday. “We’ll have a Democratic majority in the House, and it remains to be seen how big that will be.”

    Some Democrats were privately more blunt: “It’s a dumpster fire,” said one lawmaker, who declined to be named."

    ‘Dumpster fire’: House Democrats trade blame after Tuesday’s damage

    excerpt:

    "Texas was a massive disappointment for Democrats, who invested millions in targeting 10 seats and even opened a satellite DCCC office in Austin. They failed to flip the massive West Texas seat held by retiring GOP Rep. Will Hurd — a district that Hillary Clinton carried in 2016.

    Republicans held on to a rapidly diversifying seat in the Houston suburbs with a win by Troy Nehls, and they have a lead in another in the Fort Worth-Dallas area. Democrats had felt confident in flipping all three.

    So far Democrats have lost six incumbents. And more could be coming. Many of their other members trail challengers in races too close to call."

    In Trump's mind, the illegal ballots are the ones that show votes for Biden.

    Trump:

    “IF YOU COUNT THE LEGAL VOTES, I EASILY WIN THE ELECTION! IF YOU COUNT THE ILLEGAL AND LATE VOTES, THEY CAN STEAL THE ELECTION FROM US!”

    Trump supporters will chant "Count those ballots!" when Trump is behind and "Stop the count!" when he has taken a lead.

    Trump had a large early lead in WI and MI and other states only to evaporate later as ballots of Democratic leaning regions were counted later .

    Trump has tried to take advantage of the red mirage phenomenon by claiming an unjustified premature victory at his White House election party and claiming that ballots counted later are fraudulent or are being counted illegally.


    What Are ‘Blue Shift’, ‘Red Mirage’ & Why They Give Biden the Edge
    Both the phenomena played out in crucial races in Wisconsin, Michigan and now in Pennsylvania and Georgia.

    What Are ‘Blue Shift’, ‘Red Mirage’ & Why They Give Biden the Edge

    excerpt:

    "What makes things complicated and messy is the fact that Trump was expected to stop this blue shift by either claiming victory early when the Red mirage would appear or he would declare the blue shift to be fraudulent."

    Bernie Sanders predicted Trump's behavior.


    What Are ‘Blue Shift’, ‘Red Mirage’ & Why They Give Biden the Edge

    excerpt:

    "On 24 October, Senator Bernie Sanders, who dropped out of the Democratic primaries, made this eerily accurate prediction. “But it could well be that, at 10 o'clock on election night, Trump is winning in Michigan, he’s winning in Pennsylvania, he’s winning in Wisconsin, and he gets on the television and he says, ‘Thank you Americans for re-electing me. It’s all over, have a good day.’”

    “But then the next day, and the day following, all of those mail-in ballots start getting counted, and it turns out that Biden has won those states. And Trump says, ‘See? I told you the whole thing was fraudulent. I told you those mail-in ballots were crooked. And we’re not going to leave the office.’ So that is a worry that I and a lot of people have,” Sanders said."

    And the trump supporters claim that there was going to be a red wave?

    Does Michigan sound like a red wave, does Wisconsin sound like a red wave?
    No they sound like a path to victory.

    It's real serious in Europe. In Belgium they don't have any more room in hospitals and have a total curfew. The people are not allowed to leave homes or travel from town to town. In Denmark the virus has mutated into animals at a mink farm and mutated back to infect humans. The government has ordered the killing of 17 million animals to prevent the spread. In America the Republicans think it is a Democrat ploy.
