Over / Under on total votes for Biden - Harris vs. Trump-Pence.

Hillary won the popular vote by almost 3 MM.

I am thinking it will be 12.5MM as the floor, 15MM at the ceiling (based on Clinton-Kane results)

For reference (Wikipedia)- 2016

Clinton-Kane: 65,853,514 48.18%
Trump=Pence: 62,984,828 46.09%
Other: 6.8MM 5.0 %

"Relentless Stupidity"

Lawrence's explanation of Trump. Why do we let stupid people lead our Country? Ask the Organized Crime Party.

Kinda like a horse race....

Biden is 2 lengths in front of Trump and they've rounding the final bend. Biden is moving, and Trump is sucking serious air trying to keep up.

How Wisconsin Became a Bastion of White Supremacy

https://newrepublic.com/article/159524/wisconsin-became-bastion-white-supremacy?utm_

The Badger State is designed to keep Republicans in power, at the expense of the minority vote. Can Joe Biden overcome these structural disadvantages?


On the night of October 23, 2004, Milwaukee police officer Andrew Spengler hosted a housewarming party. Katie Brown and Kirsten Antonissen brought two friends of their own: Frank Jude Jr., who is biracial, and Lovell Harris, who is Black.

Jude and Harris were the only people of color at the party, and immediately felt uncomfortable. They left the party five minutes later with Brown and Antonissen. In that time, Spengler announced that he could not find his badge, and accused the men of stealing it.

A crowd of 10 to 15 people from the party—many of whom were off-duty Milwaukee police officers—rushed outside and surrounded Antonissen’s truck, where the four were sitting inside. The mob demanded that they get out of the truck and turn over Spengler’s badge. “Nigger, we can kill you,” Spengler’s friends told Jude and Harris.

The mob eventually dragged them all out of the truck, though they did not find Spengler’s badge. One member of the mob cut Harris’s face, but he was able to free himself, and fled. The crowd then turned its attention on Jude. Spengler put Jude in a headlock against a car as the mob punched and shouted at him.

Antonissen called 911 on her cell phone. “They’re beating the shit out of him,” she told the operator. “Hang up the phone,” said a male voice in the background. Then the line went silent. Antonissen said when the men saw her calling 911, they wrested the phone from her and threw her against her truck. Brown called 911 twice before the men took her phone, too.
