PA says they won't be done counting until Friday. Fulton Co GA won't be done counting till Friday. @USPS has lost almost 300,000 ballots that a federal judge demands they discover. No one can declare victory tonight. Or even tomorrow. Probably not until next week

1. Great. Fucking great.

This country is full of assholes.

2. Disgraceful that in a "modern" country it takes that long to have a winner declared. 🙄 nt

3. The concessions the founders made when drafting

The constitution to give each state such autonomy seem so archaic today, now that the US is generally seen more as one country than as 50 allied states.

I know it’ll never happen, but it does seem like the constitution could use a thorough overhaul and modernization. This country today is nothing the founders could possibly have ever imagined. And we shouldn’t try to run it based on the worldview they were necessarily limited to at the time.

6. I agree with the sentiment. But I'm not so sure the Founders were against what we are seeing today.

A lot of those guys, like Thomas Jefferson, talked of freedom and liberty just before they went home and raped and beat their slaves.

4. Agree with PA. Not sure there are enough votes in Fulton County Georgia to bring it home.

But if it happens great.

I'd still bet that Biden is going to win -- certainly hope so -- but it's going to be a tough couple of days.

5. I'm breathing easier with Arizona

7. Yes. But it's so hard to believe it's this close.

9. I know

I spent the day poll watching in my ruby red county. Watching all these poor, old, infirm, people come in droves to vote for Trump.

The process itself, and how truly well it runs, was inspiring. The results? Not surprising, but depressing.

8. Thank you, Jason Johnson. Look, we have a long drawn-out process because of horse & buggy transport

Really. There were no trains in 1776. There was no telegraph. No telephones. And God know there was no television.

WE HAVE TIME.

It is only the advent of TV and hyperactive newscasters that makes us think we must have a result tonight.

WE HAVE TIME.

10. Exactly. It takes as long as it takes. We're all worth the wait.

I know Joe and Kamala are. They've got this.
