biden wins but both will declare victory tonight. republicans will file lawsuits ASAP but those will ultimately fail even with a conservative court.

the house is a lock for the democrats and they'll increase their majority.

the senate flips to the dems.

me on a limb: NC, Georgia, AZ go for biden.

Georgia goes Trump (projected).

I sure get a feeling Trump may pull this out.

Americans really know how to milk the drama! This won't be over tonight.

Seems like the reality tv show is having a multi-episode season finale!

well, the sh!t show continues but it looks like biden squeaked out a close one. he's leading in michigan and wisconsin (though very narrowly). the remaining ballots that are to be counted will generally favour biden (especially in michigan as detroit district is only at 70% reported.) AZ should remain dem even through recounts and/or additional uncounted ballots.

PA hasn't even started counted their mail in ballots (due to that restriction enacted by state R's which slowed down the process purposely to allow court actions after the election.)

anyway, now we wait on the court cases and the recounts but it does look like a narrow biden victory.

I just wanted to help the guy out, he does get picked on, and yes he brings it on himself. But he doesn’t seem to want advice, so oh well too bad so sad, good luck to all

I cannot believe how close the race is.

I shouldn’t be, but I am shocked that so many Americans would vote for Trump the person.

I also see the house and senate extremely close, guess I was expecting more of a purging of anything Republican, because of Trumps embarrassing antics.

This.
I understood it (somewhat) in 2016 but after 4 years of showing his true colours, I'm slightly horrified nearly 1/2 the people want him back. Wow.

Did you see/hear Bertuzzi’s comments regarding the US election?

He stated if Biden wins he might move back to Vancouver. So let me get this straight, you will leave the States because a left-leaning candidate becomes President and move to the most left-leaning city in Canada?

Trump supporters are so confused they have given up on any rational thought process.

I had a busy morning at work so wasn’t able to check in until now. Looks like Biden will take Nevada for the 6 college votes he needs to win. Wow. I hope that stands so I’m not forced to listen to the orange clown ever again.

I really thought the Senate would flip Democrat. For me, that was the real shocker.

It tells you so much about American morality. I wonder if they will evolve into more of a cohesive society or slip further into division?

I think the Democrats will try to make it more cohesive but I think society there will be further divisive.

What's absolutely insane about the divisiveness is that the Democratic Republicans were once one party that ruled for about 50-100 years or so consecutively until they split.


Since then, they've focused on their differences instead of their similarities. I have no doubt the media has played no small part in dividing the American public.

Even if he loses, it’s not like he disappears. He’ll never shut up and media isn’t going to stop reporting on what he says. His legacy is going to linger for years.

True, but I can tune out or turn off the platforms that will cater to his nonsense. As the leader of my country’s biggest trading partner it’s hard not to hear what he says.

The courts haven't been in his favour. The longer his losing tantrum goes on the more pathetic he looks. He should just focus on his TV channel.

Because there are hundreds waiting to sue him the minute he leaves office. The sharks are circling.

it's wild. entertaining but wild!

i almost spit my coffee at being both a ron paul and bernie fan. being a fan of either is perfectly reasonable, however, they are diametrically opposite sides of the political spectrum.

anyway, sh!t gets wild in there and that's why we love it.
