Whoever is ahead on election night in OH likely won it.

1. just think that after all the forewarning

election night results are going to be dealt with fairly evenhandedly.
Safe margins of victory are going to called and ... those that are not safe, will be called "close/undetermined."

And further -- see no reason that the American people are not prepared for that.

4. Except, of course...

...that, if Trump is ahead by any amount late on election night, Fox News will call the race for him – and he’ll immediately declare victory and file with SCOTUS to discard any remaining “fraudulent” ballots.

5. I know you are determined on your

apocalyptic scenario. But, some of the rest of us are just not ready to throw in with it. IMO the voters, the system and the courts are not nearly as lost as you assume them to be. But .. I guess we'll find out.

2. Yes. I checked and they are able to process and count votes before election day. They just can't

announce those results prior to closure of polls--as is the case with nearly all states.

3. Yep

And the votes that won't be announced for 10 days after the election will likely be accounting for about 1% increase of the total for Dems. Unless it is a super close race, it won't matter.

6. Meh. CA always has close races

I don't expect some of the Congressional races to be decided for a week or two. The official county results aren't due until about 30 days after the elections, and have been for years.

I really wish the MSM would stop being so alarmist: calling the winner on election night is relatively recent.
