Okay, somehow, I didn’t realize that the person in your video was actually female.

Another thought crossed my mind: as one who works in a nursing home, we have a flyer up indicating that residents can vote if they want. Most are not cognizant enough to read anything or understand what is happening. Which makes me wonder, would conservative staff members illegally place Republican votes on behalf of these residents?

Right now at 12:30 am EST time The average reports have Biden in the mid 250s to low 260s in electoral votes.
So basically Biden needs one or at best two of the last states remaining.

Not unexpected, but you completely missed the point of my comment.
I posted what I thought would happen over the election. It was pointed out by another that what I thought was merely speculation. To which I replied that of course it is speculation as I don't have a crystal ball to see into the future. That nuance thing you thing you think you can suss out turns out to be another thing you just don't get.
Any and all predictions made are/were speculation.
My 2nd post was meant to be self-referential, I wasn't clear on that. My bad.
When I wrote "This is speculation, so take it with a lorry full of salt." I should've written something along the lines of: " My following post is speculation, so take it with a lorry full of salt." instead of "This".
I didn't mean "This" as a reply, but a self-reference to my own post. Not surprising that this ambiguity from my post could be misconstrued as a reply.
I'll try to be more concise and precise in the future replies, but sometimes English is kinda hard to juggle, since in Faroese, and Danish too, self-reference is different and easy to recognize, so I mistakenly thought that was obvious. It was in my mind.

Not a big deal.
The Irrational One picked up the "crystal ball" and ran with it thinking I was serious I suppose.
Since you replied to my post I read your first line as a response to what I said. It's all good. Your English is better than some native speakers. It was a small misunderstanding that didn't bother me at all.

Be comforted in the knowledge that your English is better than my Faroese. And all I know about Danish is that I prefer the fruit filled ones to the cheese variety.

In the event Trump wins the presidency (looking less and less likely, thank goodness), he will be the first president to lose the popular vote twice. If current trends continue, he’ll lose this by an even wider margin than he did in 2016. Yet more justification for eliminating or reforming the electoral college.

It is fucking Thursday morning, two days since the polls opened and the orange fuck is still clinging on. But it is exactly what we expected.

Why shouldn’t he still be clinging on? The election isn’t over. Didn’t it take about a month to settle your 2000 election?

In a legal context yes, he has that right. But he has been a 100% fucking hypocrite claiming that any counting after Tuesday night would be cheating.
So now we have the fucker wanting the vote counting to stop in one state and the vote count to continue in others.
