He's been on both sides of this race, on top and in the middle. 2 hours ago he said AP and Fox should renege their call on AZ for Biden.

Fuck this clown.

Felt good at time, but pollsters could have cost us this election with their errors.

Democrats were telling people at the end not to put the ballots in the mail, due to post office shenanigans. We advised people to drop them off.

...it seems to imply that the next dump will closely resemble the last one (probably dropping Biden’s lead to below 50K), but that the count thereafter should be a lot more even, and less likely to allow Trump to catch up.

I really want to be able to breathe again.
Remain scared to death since they are capable of any kind of cheating.
Maybe not possible? Too many controls over tracking of absentees?
