For what it's worth, my take-away on all of this:

Were it not for the Pandemic, this would have been over on Tuesday night. What this did do is give people an insight into the nitty gritty details of how their votes are processed and that is a good thing. And the bottom line here is that Trump is trying to make criminals of the volunteer vote counters while also attempting to disenfranchise folks who voted by mail to protect their health against a Pandemic that Trump allowed to rage around them. That's my take-away. 🙂

If tRump continues to pursue lawsuits and gets to the USSC, I really fear what they might do. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Many Americans have a very poor understanding of how our system actually works. Perhaps they’ll learn something.

I sense it would of been obnoxious and unforgiving....I give full credit to the Biden Campaign with the coordination of Stacey Abrams for voter registration, get out the vote mission...

The pandemic is just an example of tRumps incompetence...so, tRump too was the reason he is the looser and let's not forget the enabling Senate as well... Last but not least off the top of my head...tRumps racism ...the way he disrespected George Floyd and BLM. and condoned the Neo-nazi pigs......It's a cumulation of failures, abuses and hate for anyone not like him...

Think of that, we could not have possibly won if Trump had done one simple thing -- trust doctors and do what they said in March.
