If Biden wins he needs to make sure our elections are secure again. Russia didn’t interfere against Obama in 2008 because McCain would have been even worse for them. Mitt Romney probably seen as “a wash”. Then along came Trump, the perfect stooge. Now they had a deep interest in a candidate winning.

Nevada is mail-in from Clark outstanding
Leading Wisconsin with mail-in outstanding
Georgia with Atlanta outstanding
Michigan with Detroit mail-in outstanding
Pennsylvania w/ Philadelphia and Pittsburgh mail-in outstanding.
North Carolina with another week for mail-in to come in.
And some of those can help Senate races as well.

How Trump's bullshit will play out though...

Now we see why Trump was so afraid of mail-in ballots.

I want to see a more tamper/hacking proof system. Paper ballots or printed backup receipt that is given to voter AND placed in reserve for manual recount. No election officially certified until recounted manually. Yes, would take forever but you could get vote tallying machines that are not connected to the internet. Unfortunately that all takes $$$ and some of these small counties can’t afford it.
