The majority of WAYNE COUNTY is done. Here's the information.

Sorry but the facts are....273,064 votes have to be made up while Trump is likely gaining some votes (even a smaller numbers) at the same time.

It's going to take a MIRACLE. PERIOD!

There are more votes uncounted than you think.

Just because it says 76% of the precincts have reported, THAT DOES NOT MEAN ALL THE VOTE BY MAIL BALLOTS HAVE BEEN COUNTED IN THOSE 76% PRECINCTS.

Same in GA. Same in NC.

Few DU'ers seem to understand this.

And KNOW this State. It is GOING TO TAKE A MIRACLE. PERIOD.

Acceptance is hard but as Michiganders, we accept what does not appear (outside of a MIRACLE) cannot be changed. Sorry.

Who WE LIKE A LOT is getting SADLY BEAT by John James. Now. As we Type. This is a Fact.

There is NO WAY Gary Peters loses and Joe Biden wins. Unless it is a true miracle tonight in Michigan.

U.S. Senate - Michigan (Peters vs. James)
Candidate
Votes %

John James(R)
2,209,863
52%
Gary Peters*(D)
1,945,980
46%

The Spread Is: 263,883.

Maybe try an actual MICHIGAN based News Source instead of listening to Cable News. Here is one, again (i.e. Michigan Based News Source): https://www.clickondetroit.com/

And yes, it's late in Michigan. It's late in many places in the Midwest and East Coast.
