No matter what you'll hear from Rs, it ain't over until EVERY vote is counted
Rs will try to build a narrative that these still-open races were decided in favor of the Rs on Tuesday.
They. Were. Not.
Remember 2000, when Roger Ailes had Faux News call the race for W well before the votes were counted. The scheme is to get the lie out there and treat it like a fact. That puts the “loser” behind the eight ball, having to challenge a perception that - with the help of the media - is quickly morphing into received opinion.
Be ready to hear how the Ds are trying to “steal an already decided election” that has NOT been decided. The Rs will act like their candidate won days ago, but the fact is that no one has won at this point. Until all the votes are counted and the results are certified, it ain’t over.
